ummm... how? what is the url i have to link to?

When you create your game - go find it... then right click on the link and goto "properties"...

Copy and paste the link into your Forum post highlight it and then press the URL button on the top right...

Bob's your uncle.

Could you create a special forum tag that references games?

It could be of the format -

Code: Select all

[gid=123456789]Description[/gid]

or

Code: Select all

[gid]123456789[/gid]

And what it would do is stick the URL= jazz and the http://www.conq... stuff on the front and make it real easy like to post your games.

Idea gleaned from http://www.redhotpawn.com

Priority: 5 (nice to have)

in english? what does it do?

[yeti_c]

Makes it easier for us to create a URL in forum posts to our games...

For example at present you have to write
[code]Click me for my game[code]

My plan is to turn that into...

[code][gid=363543]Click me for my game[/gid][/code]
or
[code][gid]363543[/gid][/code]

and then the forum will turn that into the above...

Alternatively could be a special button that asked for a game ID and then did it for you!!

Thank you yeti_c for using the form, but what you should have done first was check the to-do list to see if this has been suggested already. And it has....

Hey, I just thought a really great idea that would help with the organising of tourneys especially would be a [game]1234567[/game] tab that linked game numbers to game join pages, so all you have to do is click the link and enter the password...

What do you think?

[wcaclimbing]

thats a forum thing....

i dont know if it is possible, but that would sure be nice.

This will happen after we get phb 3

Please thoroughly read the following threads and perform a forum search before making suggestions:
Suggestions Box (Lack's 'To-Do' List)
Suggestion & Bug Report Forms

[Optimus Prime]

Yep, that one is coming with phpBB3.

[Tieryn]

Awesome. Sorry for not reading the to-do's, I just think of things and post them. Bad form I know, but I don't have all the time in the world, so I'm a bit out of the loop some time Thanks for letting me know.

Suggestion -- New BBCode constructed

Details -- a new BBCode that will automatically link to a game and give map details

IIRC, there is a way to add custom BBCodes to PHPBB, I am suggesting that a new BBCode

Code: Select all

[game][/game]


be added to the bbcode list, this would provide users with an easy way of adding a game.

I suggest that the code do something like this in a VB code since I have never worked with PHP before but this is the gist of the code

Code: Select all

Case Game(GameNumber)
     Dim X As Double
     X = GameNumber
     ["url=http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=" & X]{Game Map}-{Turn Number}-{Number Of Players} etc[/url]


That is a rough draft of what I would think the code would look like, This should be a fairly easy implementation maybe 3 hours of coding and Trouble shooting. Just a thought it would prolly make the boards look nicer...

/me turns on the flame repellent of people saying "why don't you just copy the link..." I know I know... I'm suggesting something to make people's lives easier... please flame ME for it...

[rebelman]

there are no plans to do this in the current forums as it will be included when we upgrade to phpBB3.0. In the interim I don't think any new codes will be added here.
