BBCode problem

In my old website, we used bbcode for the layout of the forum page.
Now we are import with bbcode forum formatted pages in de WP forum.
That is unfortunately not quite good, with [ol] and [li] designs is visible well in the entry page but not thereafter. The count above 10 is not visible, 10 is then reset to 0.
Is there a possibility to use BBCode?

Hello Ben PA2OLD,

for me this is looking like a little styling problem with your theme. Do you have a link to a post which gets not shown correctly so I can have a look? Maybe I can fix this in the stylesheets.

BBCode itself will not fix this because it will generate the same HTML code when it gets rendered.

Hi, first of all a prosperous 2017!!

I found a solution of the first problem, that 1 to 20 is not showing but 1 to 0 and then 1 to 0 again.
I copy those files from my old website with Firefox as a browser, to the new forum and I found out the I have to switch Alinea to Made up page  (since my forum is in Dutch, I do not know the English word for it) and then paste te file.
If I the upload the page looks okè and you can see 1 to 20 or more.

I made those (Log) files in a text editor in BBCode, like this:

Lijst op volgorde van inmelden.

But if I copy those files in the new forum, it does not convert is and you see the BBCode,
Is there a way to get it convert the BBCode?

If you want to take a look, Wordpress is on our local server. The IP is 77.249.154.68:8080
There is also a other issue, if I change the colour in the forum Options, say from Blue to Red, then that is not working, it stays Blue.

If you take a look in the Forum/SSB-Ronde and then: Nr. 07 van 18-05-2016 you can see what the problem was with the numbers 1 to 13.
But that is fixed now and I already changed the rest of the files in SSB-Ronde.

Hello again, Ben PA2OLD

I wish you also a happy new year! 🙂

BBCode Converter

First of all: The Asgaros Forum plugin doesnt support BBCode. Since the beginning we are using the default WordPress editor which allows users to create content more easy and without learning a custom syntax like BBCode. Thats why you cant just copy and paste your existing BBCode to the editor and convert it to HTML.

So you have three options:

  • Write your own converter with PHP which creates HTML
  • Copy the plain-text into the editor and style the content manually
  • Just copy and paste the rendered text from an existing forum post into the editor. It should represent the HTML automatically

I am sorry that I cant write an automatic converter script for this because there are so many different BBCode definitions out there which would result in a lot of work and possible incompatibilities.

Missing numbers

Basically the numbers arent missing. Its just a little design problem which results that the leading numbers (10, 11, 12, …) are just hidden behind another element.

To fix this you have to change some margins in your theme. For example you can try this code:

ol {
    list-style: decimal;
    margin: 0 0 18px 2.5em;
}

Color customization

I just checked it and basically it is working. But it seems that your server configuration avoids the execution of the customization script which produces the corresponding stylesheets. You can have a look at this link so you can see what I mean:

http://77.249.154.68:8080/wp-content/plugins/asgaros-forum/skin/custom-color.php?color=c62b2b&text-color=444444&background-color=adadad&ver=1.3.4

I hope this information was helpful. 🙂

Thanks for the info!
I’ll will look in to it the coming days.
The new site as you saw it, is just the beginning.
I think in a month or 2 it will be ready, because I have to copy and adjust hundreds of file en articles from the old site to it… 🙂
I let you know if the forum is okè.

Greetz… Ben.
