I'm rather new to the whole vbulletin thing, but really want to add custom tags to my bbcodes that will allow for highlighting and so forth. I found a nice php package for syntax highlighting in 'geshi'; however, I cannot figure out how to make it work within the 'replacement' aspect of the custom bbcode entry dialog.

Of course, perhaps it's not possible But, just in case it is, this is "basically" what I want to put in my custom bbcode:

Anyway, as you can probably imagine, it's not really working.

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this...or if anyone has links to a freely available syntax highlighter for c++ (or mod for vbulletin that uses geshi), please let me know.

Thanks!

You can't use a the built in bbcode system, you'll have to create your own bbcode using the plugin system.

Have a look around here and/or at vb.org for a hack which adds a custom bbcode using the plugin system.

Ok, I'm going to start the search process here on this site of going through each posting (searching didn't help very much with such a vague idea of what I'm looking for). But, if anyone reads this and remembers a specific thread, please let me know! thanks!

so, waht is it exactly your after, whats geshi?

Well, what I want is exactly what's in my initial posting in this thread (given that it were 'possible' for it to work). Basically if you have geshi installed, the code I gave would have echoed whatever you gave it as a {param} with the code properly highlighted.

Geshi can be found at http://qbnz.com/highlighter/

But, in short, what I'm wanting is [c++] [/c++] tags and then be able to make custom ones that will work for the scripting language used by the software that I support.

Thanks!
