Topic: Is there a way to make a list?

Fairly new to PunBB, so I'm not 100% familiar with it. Is there a way to make an unordered list via BBCode?

Example, in phpBB, it's:

[list][*]Item 1
[*]Item 2
[*]Item 3
[*]Item 4
[*]Item 5[/list]

Does something like this exist in PunBB?

I believe (though I'm not certain)  that the Extra BBCodes mod has unordered list support.

Yeah, seems it does, but it also adds a bunch of crap I don't want. sad

IMO, PunBB should have this built in. It's not like it really makes it any bulkier (not that it is now) and I think most people would benefit from it.

I'll have to agree with you on that. There should be instructions included with the mod to help you only get codes you want.

Hm.
I find it terribly easy to modify this mod.
n the header it explains which tag does what, so all you have to do is remove the ones you hate from the code that's to go into parser.php.
Should be done in minutes...

Thanks. I thought it would be something like that, but didn't have time/was too lazy to look.

I've considered it myself. The problem isn't that it will require the addition of a lot of code, but that it will require more regular expressions to be run while building the pages. More regular expressions means it will take longer and take up more of the servers precious time. We'll see.

Well, rather than running regex (takes time as you know) on all posts, perhaps a test using stristr() to see if [list] is in the post first. That should avoid having to run regex without a need to.

Re: Is there a way to make a list?

Yes, that's what I usually do, but I'm beginning to fear I'm running too many strpos() as it is. I will need to do some profiling before I make up my mind.

Ah, good. Not all people think to do that. smile And yeah, strpos is faster than stristr. /me forgot

Anyway, keep up the awesome work. smile

I don't know of any mod that adds support for header tags, but you can get ordered / unordered lists through the list BBCode mod.

Re: Is there a way to make a list?

H1, H2 and H3 are out. The post is an h2 and the topic title within a post an h3. Any headers within post bodies would therefore have to start at h4 otherwise you make a mess of the heading structure.
