how can i preview bbcodes in ams web object ???

**RizlaUK** · 03-25-2007

you will need to translate it in to html, like the fourm software dose

heres a link to a tool that can help with the tag conversion
http://hometown.aol.co.uk/JRMC137/BBCode2HTML/index.htm

and look up string.replace in the manual, eg:

Code:

strText = String.Replace(strText, "{LEFT}", "<p align=left>", false);
strText = String.Replace(strText, "{/LEFT}", "</p>", false);

Code:

strText = String.Replace(strText, "{LEFT}", "<p align=left>", false);
strText = String.Replace(strText, "{/LEFT}", "</p>", false);

where will i use the string.raplace code ??? on button click of preview button or somewhere else ???

on button click of preview button

yup, then write the string to a temp html file and preview it in the browser

**GoOgLe** · 03-25-2007

Code:

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[LEFT]", "<p align=left>", false);
strText = String.Replace(strText, "[/LEFT]", "</p>", false);


result = Input.GetText("Input1");
TextFile.WriteFromString("C:\\temp_preview.html", "<HTML>"..result.."</HTML>", false);
File.OpenURL("C:\\temp_preview.html", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

so if i have that code in preview button what else i have to do to convert "[LEFT]", "[/LEFT]" to "<p align=left>", "</p>" ????
do i have to add anything to "C:\\temp_preview.html" ???

you have nothing there calling the string.replace

1st, you get the text from the input
2nd, you translate the bbcode to html
3rd, you write the translated text to the html file and preview it

like this

PHP Code:


strText = Input.GetText("Input1");-- get the text

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[left]", "<p align=left>", false);-- translate

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[/left]", "</p>", false);-- translate

TextFile.WriteFromString("C:\\temp_preview.html","<HTML>"..strText.."</HTML>",false);-- write the html file

File.OpenURL("C:\\temp_preview.html", SW_SHOWNORMAL);-- show the preview

thanks Rizlauk i got it

another question what will i do for ???

Code:

[COLOR="Red"]GoOgle[/COLOR]

Code:

[SIZE="6"]GoOgle[/SIZE]

Code:

[font="Arial"]GoOgLe[/font]

**RizlaUK** · 03-25-2007

do the same

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[color=", "<font color=", false);

but the last 2 should be like this to pick up on the tags that have been missed

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[", "<", false);
strText = String.Replace(strText, "]", ">", false);

can also help me with the ordered and unordered please ???

Code:

<ol>
	<li>GoOgLe</li>
</ol>
<ul>
	<li>GoOgLe</li>
</ul>

that works fine for ordered but what will i do for unordered ????

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[LIST=1]", "<ol>", false);-- translate
strText = String.Replace(strText, "[/LIST]", "</ol>", false);-- translate
strText = String.Replace(strText, "[*]", "<il>", false);-- translate

**GoOgLe** · 03-26-2007

Code:

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[LIST]", "<ul>", false);-- translate
strText = String.Replace(strText, "/LIST]", "</ul>", false);-- translate
strText = String.Replace(strText, "[*]", "<li>", false);-- translate

Code:

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[list=1]", "<ol>", false);-- translate
strText = String.Replace(strText, "[/list]", "</ol>", false);-- translate
strText = String.Replace(strText, "[*]", "<il>", false);-- translate

[PHP]$myvar = 'Hello World!';
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)

    echo $myvar . "\n";
}[/PHP]

**bule** · 03-26-2007

Code:

strText = String.Replace(strText, "[ php]", "<? ", false);-- translate
strText = String.Replace(strText, "[ /php]", " ?>", false);-- translate

NOTICE: Remove space in the [ php] tag in your coding... the board is confused with this code in my post.
