Flip Text?

[oldiesmann]

I'm not sure how easy it would be to do this, since the main UBBC function (doUBBC) is buried in subs.php, but I would like something like the "flip BBCode" mod for phpBB (see http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=74725). Any ideas?

i don't see the use of flipping texts

[oldiesmann]

Just another fun thing to do... Does there have to be a use for everything other than just making your board a little bit more exciting?

untested:

open Subs.php, search for

Code Select Expand

        '/\[email=(.+?)\](.+?)\[\/email\]/is',add after

Code Select Expand

        '/\[fliph\](.+?)\[\/fliph\]/is',
        '/\[flipv\](.+?)\[\/flipv\]/is',
search for

Code Select Expand

        '<a href="mailto:\\1">\\2</a>',add after

Code Select Expand

        '<span style="filter: fliph; height: 1px;">\\1</span>',
        '<span style="filter: flipv; height: 1px;">\\1</span>',

warning: this will not work on mozilla/phoenix, and maybe some other cool browsers

Cool! Thanks... now all I need is a button for that... I'll see what I can do...

Well, after going nuts do to a constant parse error, I finally got it to at least accept the code on my test board (a supermoded board on Lycos UK) by putting a ; at the end of each line instead of a , but now when I test it out, it just inserts a blue line across the screen instead... Let me try it out on my other board and see what happens...

You added it in the wrong place, then... or something.

Well, when I added it directly after the <a href=mailto: ... line, it complained about "expecting ')..." or whatever that line right after it is, so I moved the code to below that, and it kept complaining about a parse error and call to undefined function clicklog() until I put the ; after it... I'm still playing around with it on my lycos board...

[oldiesmann]

Ah... I think I figured out what was causing the parse error... that '\\1'); was the end of the function... I removed the ) and replaced the ; with a , so it now looks like:

'\\1',
'<span style=filter: fliph;">\\1</span>',
'<span style=fliter: flipv;">\\1</span>');

Will upload and try again... I think this will work...

[Spaceman-Spiff]

copy and paste that part of the code, also with 2-3 lines above and below it

[oldiesmann]

Okay... Here's what it looks like... Some changes have been made because of the supermod, but that's about it...

         '<a href="mailto:\\1">\\2</a>',
         '\\1',
         '<span style="filter: fliph;">\\1</span>',
         '<span style="filter: flipv;">\\1</span>');
//         "<table style=\"Filter: Glow(Color=\\1, Strength='.(('\\2'<400)?'\\2':400).')\" width='.(('\\3'<400)?'\\3':400).'\>\\4</table>",
//         "<table style=\"Filter: Glow(Color=\\1, Strength=(?(\\2<400)\\2|400)\" width=\"(?(\\3<400)\\3|400)\"\>\\4</table>",

[Spaceman-Spiff]

it requires width or height attibute too to work somehow, so i i edited the code above
here's my subs.php:

Code Select Expand

        "('\\4' != '/' && '\\1' != '=' ? '<a href=\"mailto:\\2\">\\2</a>' : '\\1\\2')",
        '<a href="mailto:\\1">\\2</a>',
        '<span style="filter: fliph;">\\1</span>',
        '<span style="filter: flipv;">\\1</span>',
        '\\1');
//         "<table style=\"Filter: Glow(Color=\\1, Strength='.(('\\2'<400)?'\\2':400).')\" width='.(('\\3'<400)?'\\3':400).'\>\\4</table>",
//         "<table style=\"Filter: Glow(Color=\\1, Strength=(?(\\2<400)\\2|400)\" width=\"(?(\\3<400)\\3|400)\"\>\\4</table>",


it also doesn't work when u have xhtml doctype

[oldiesmann]

Ok. I moved that '\\1') line, but it didn't do anything different... It still shows up as a blue line all across the screen...

[oldiesmann]

Well, it appears that the UBBC code is more complicated than I thought... I tried doing it similar to the "glow" and "shadow" functions, but no matter what I did, I got the stupid blue horizontal line instead... I tried

'/\[fliph=(.+?);(.+?)\](.+?)\[/fliph]/is',

and did the table style thing like with glow and shadow, only I replaced the , with a ;, but I kept getting the following error:
2: Compilation failed: missing terminating ] for character class at offset 36
(/data/members/free/tripod/uk/o/l/d/oldiesmann/htdocs/Sources/Subs.php ln 995)

so I just deleted the code and gave up... Spiff, if you get it working, let me know... (Goes to see about editing the "move" tag to allow for extra marquee options such as scrollamount, behavior and direction).

I have tryed replacing bbc tags, I got html errors.. Oh I changed some crap in display and got it working, I don't think I was suppose to though, It caused other problems that took forever to fix
