I’m looking for a way to add UBBcode to the shout Box. It would be nice to be able to use the [img] and [url] tags in the shout box. Has anyone done this or have any ideas on a way to get this done? Thank you.

Also It would be nice to have the Smilies Drop down list next to the "Shout" and "Reset" buttons. I have to explain several times a day how to add : smilies : and this is starting to get old.

I can see [url] tags, that would be great! ... but you really trust your users entering 2MB photos in the Shoutbox?? No thanks! lol

As for smilies... if they can't figure out how to use the shortcuts......... whistle

This is one of the best things I could see happen with the Shout Box. I hate all the broken URL's

totally doable as a mod. i think i did it in the a mod called the 'naked shoutbox' over @ ubbdev (7.2.2)

if you want to do it to a 7.2 or 7.3, you'll simply need to modify the do_markup routine to handle it (ie: allow)..

7.3's version is much nicer/easier to modify, since Ian did his thaaang on it smile

keep in mind that for images, a user can link a huge one in and kill the look.. sooooo, you might want to add a check for image size and either prevent or just resize or even just make it a clickable link for big stuff smile
