Tooltip Sharing
For those of you using phpbb 2.0.x
Open /includes/bbcode.php
FIND
// [i] and [/i] for italicizing text.
$text = str_replace("[i:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['i_open'], $text);
$text = str_replace("[/i:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['i_close'], $text);
AFTER ADD
// [item]Items[/item] code..
$text = str_replace("[item:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['item_open'], $text);
$text = str_replace("[/item:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['item_close'], $text);
FIND
// [i] and [/i] for italicizing text.
$text = preg_replace("#\[i\](.*?)\[/i\]#si", "[i:$uid]\\1[/i:$uid]", $text);
AFTER ADD
// [item]Item[/item] code..
$text = preg_replace("#\[item\](.*?)\[/item\]#si", "[item:$uid]\\1[/item:$uid]", $text);
In your templates folder.. open bbcode.tpl
FIND
<!-- BEGIN email --><a href="mailto:{EMAIL}">{EMAIL}</a><!-- END email -->
AFTER ADD
<!-- BEGIN item_open --><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www-en.curse-gaming.com/feeds/tooltips/7/<!-- END item_open --> <!-- BEGIN item_close -->/tooltip.js"></script><!-- END item_close -->
In your templates folder.. open posting_bbcode.tpl
FIND
bbtags = new Array('[b]','[/b]','[i]','[/i]','[u]','[/u]','[quote]','[/quote]','[code]','[/code]','[list]','[/list]','[list=]','[/list]','[img]','[/img]','[url]','[/url]');
Insert
,'[item]','[/item]'
in before the last bracket, so for example above would read:
bbtags = new Array('[b]','[/b]','[i]','[/i]','[u]','[/u]','[quote]','[/quote]','[code]','[/code]','[list]','[/list]','[list=]','[/list]','[img]','[/img]','[url]','[/url]','[item]','[/item]');
That should be all that's necessary on default phpbb installation, alhough if you are using any other MODS, in particular related to bbcode then the above may need to be altered.
Cheers
heres the PNphpBB2 implementation of the bbcode for the Postnuke integrated version of phpBB2.
It requires the Multiple BBCode Buttons Organizer Mod which for the buttons to appear above the posting dialog (this mod is available freely from www.pnphpbbhacks.net)
Since the instructions are very detailed and ive found that most forums will destroy the scripting ill just link it to my download section of my guild forum. If any curse representivie feels like posting it in their download section i give them my permission.
This is the link (its a text file with instructions compressed in a zip file)

ZinorTo do the [item]Name[/item] you would have to actually have some software working with your forums to do the search and then insert the data. If anyone knows how to create phpBB plugins (or for that matter, any forum software plugins) we do have an XML search feed available.
