Is there a hide tags button somewhere or do you really have to type out the code every time you want to hide something?

(And what does the PHP code button do?)

Just curious...

No. Yes.

It's not terribly useful for non-programmers. It lets you quote PHP code and prettifies it.

Cool idea for a tag, though. Also, "imgresize", or whatever it is. I keep forgetting that one.

That would be "imgfit"

If you are using Chrome, you can install the extension "BBCodeInsert."

That extension allows you to right click and insert various tags, from [b], [i], to [quote], and even [url] with a prompt. It also includes the ability to add custom shortcuts. I have added the [hide] tag shortcut to mine. It's pretty easy.

Once you have the extension installed, you go to your extensions (Tools-->Extensions) Then go to BBCodeInsert Options. All you do from there is copy this code into the box, hit save, and you'll have some hide tags prepared by yours truly.

Has there been a lot of PHP quoting in the past or is that just a standard forum button?

That's the one I always forget.

Is there a way to resize an image to a particular percentage? Say, the image is 600x800 and you want it to appear at 50% in thread?

I think I've tried [img width=# height=#] or various plays on the theme from the days when I knew how to write html but I suspect that just won't work here...

Cool, I'll have to check that out... Thanks

BTW, holy shit were the quote tags screwed up by the coding in these posts!! :p

It's a standard feature of the advanced editor.

I don't think there are any bbcode tags to resize images like that. Personally, I resize them before I upload if I can.

PHP Code:

# Hide Tags with prompt
title:[hide]=prompt
template:![hide]{{p:$1}}[/hide]
prompt:Text to be hidden
#

# Hide Tags
title:[hide]
template:![hide][/hide]
# 


Couldn't get it to work?

Works just fine for me. Copy that exact code into the editor. I've got hide tags, spoiler tags, image tags, and YouTube video tags in my custom menu.
