Instructions on how to use BBCode

[ChiBitCTy]

This may have been mentioned as I skimmed through this kinda quickly, but if not ..

Imgur.com is an easy way to get BBC for images.
1)upload imagine
2)hover curser over the top right corner of the photo and click “Get Share Links”
3)copy BBC (forum) option

Easy as that. Unfortunately (unless someone knows otherwise) you can’t get BBCode from the Imgur app, which is maddening.

Compose style teks This is achieved in the following ways:

For underlining use , for example:

Code:

[u] Good Morning [/u]

becomes Good Morning

Change color:

Code:

[color=red]Hello![/color]
or
[color=#FF0000] Hello! [/color]

Both will output Hello!

Code:

White #FFFFFF
Cyan #00FFFF
Light Grey #C0C0C0

Is this code for my signature correct? I copied it from the yolodice website but it does not display properly in the forum; the text is not clickable.

I believe signatures from newbies are made unclickable on purpose to reduce signature spam. Might be wrong though.

---> This is text used with the transparent colour <---

Code:

---> [color=transparent]This is text used with the transparent colour[/color] <---

But why would you need transparent text?

That's a really good question

As you can see in this first example

tables bunch up the first column

Code:

[table][tr][td]That's a really good question[/td][td]As you can see in this first example [/td][td]tables bunch up the first column[/td][/tr][/table]

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
But in this second example	Transparent text has been added to the first colum	making the table more even
Just	Like	This

Code:

[table][tr][td][color=transparent]ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[/color][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]But in this second example[/td][td]Transparent text has been added to the first colum[/td][td]making the table more even[/td][/tr]
[tr][td][right]Just[/right][/td][td]Like[/td][td]This[/td][/tr][/table]

(the word "Just" has been aligned right to show how far the transparent text goes)

*note* Transparent text must be continuous.

Width control in images

Code:

[img width=1234]file.jpg[/img]

Note - if an image is used in the first row, first column of a table, it won't display correctly unless transparent text is used as in example above even if width is assigned.

This is very useful, and it shows my lack of knowledge of the SMF bbcode dialect. Online i found a solution involving a zero width space which i tried once on this forum, it works but some moderator didn't like it. [nobbc] is cleaner, thanks.

I found by myself about nesting lists, but its good to know how to make them display numbers with the type=decimal attribute.

Am looking for a BBCode that will work here in BitCoinTalk as these examples:

It's interesting but how do you manage to use it for a table of pictures please?

• This list is broken

In fact, you don't need to use [tt][/tt] for that, you can still use [code][/code] in a list with those tags :


[o]circle

[0]circle
[*]disc
[@]disc
[+]square

eg :

• This list isn't broken

The first table row/cell contains transparent text to the width (or longer) of the image being displayed.  It's not needed in other cells, for some reason the first cell looks ok when in preview mode, but gets bunched up when posted.


I just read another thread that had a time code for a specific date - will see if I can find it again.  It was something like

Code:

[time]56789012345[/time]

Result:

July 28, 3769, 05:39:05 AM

The only thing I don't know how to do is calculate the time in the first place.

[libert19]

If on android, you can use Directupload image sharer, just share your image to the app via gallery and done. Much easier than going to website and then upload.

Also, you will get markdown/bbcode/html all as direct links so no extra editing required.

That may be true, however the displayed image is flattened when displayed in a BBCode table, hence the need to force the first cell into the intended size before the image is displayed.

Precisely no, if the string is longer than the picture, it doesn't work :

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

So the string must have exactly the same longer as the picture. Which is not convenient at all. How to manage that?

You've never heard of unix time TimeLord?  
You can use the command date on Linux/Unix/MacOs for doing the conversion or some websites on internet.

The parameter date= in the header of message quotes is also doing the conversion here.

[quote author=Timelord2067 link=topic=4738016.msg54458049#msg54458049 date=1589856277]

[Timelord2067]

Trim the number of letters/numerals/other being used?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The only thing I don't know how to do is calculate the time in the first place.

No, I didn't say that - I was saying I couldn't recall the BBCode for showing the time in that format.

Yup - that's good for telling what the time was in the past - I'd appreciate a link that can calculate a given point in time in the future - the post I was referring to made mention of ending an auction at a given point in time and would show the local time, not saying GMT/PST/AEST etc and people trying to figure out what the converted time was.


It's a stop gap instead of a countdown clock via BBCODE.

As I said above you can get the unix time value of the date of a post in the header of its quote (introduced by the parameter date=)
Then if you use [time] on it you will find exactly the same date as it is displayed in your post :
[quote author=Timelord2067 link=topic=4738016.msg54459932#msg54459932 date=1589884073]

Code:

[time]1589884073[/time]

> May 19, 2020, 10:27:53 AM

So you can deduct [time] is returning dates in your local time(the one configured in your account)
 
And you can easily checking it by calling [time] on 0

Code:

[time]0[/time]

> January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM
The date returned is not the one of the Epoch date in UTC/GMT time but in your local time.


There you can convert an unix time value in a date in your local time or in GMT/UTC time (or doing the opposite ofc) https://www.epochconverter.com/

[Timelord2067]

...

Sadly, No. I don't want to see an old date, but thanks for repeating that.

https://www.epochconverter.com/

Yes, that's what I am after, thanks.

As you can understand by doing

Code:

[time]0[/time]

>January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM
the unix time value is the number of seconds since 1-1-1970 0:00:00 UTC
So if you want to get its value for a later date, you just need to take the value of the unix time for today in the header of a quote, and to add 3600x24 for each day, or 3600x24x7 for each week.
eg to get the unix time value of a date in 300 days.

1589956635+300x3600x24=1589956635+300x86400=1 615 876 635‬

Code:

[time]1615876635‬[/time]

can anyone help me...?



can a table be fixed in size? Similarly as it is possible with pictures?

   for example

[Pffrt]

can a table be fixed in size? Similarly as it is possible with pictures?

No. You can't customize table size as far as I know. You can share more on what you are loking for exactly. In that case, we may help you finding out an alternative way if possible.
