BBCode

[ReemZ]

Just a simple question: can't seem to find out exactly how to fix the width and height of an image using the img tag...like when you'd want to post some pictures that are rather large and scale them down for this forum?
(Yes I've googled, [ img width=W height=H ] and [ img=W,H ] both fail on this forum, BBCode-link east of this text box doesn't help either...)

Any clues?

Oh and some other tags that might be useful (at least in the Off Topic section ) would be spoiler and good old s (strike)

Thanx Fitz, but I'd already found those
Problem is I've got some pictures I'd like to post here, but they're a bit on the large side.
I've seen some nice codes on another forum that display pics in a reasonable size inside the post and full size when clicked, but they don't seem to work here

I guess it's something the forum admin would have to enable?

Seems that phpBB does not support the strike-through code or the table code, but it appears that all the others are supported by phpBB. From those links I posted it does not appear that you can resize images with phpBB, which appears to use a subset of BBCode. So looks like you'll have to copy the images and resize them yourself. It's very easy to do this. For example, if you want to reduce them to say 25% full size for display, with just a link below for the full-size image, you'd type the following to create the smaller image:

Code: Select all

$ cp original_image.jpg thumbnail_image.jpg
$ mogrify -resize 25% thumbnail_image.jpg

then upload both images to your image storage site and use the forum's Img code around the thumbnail link but just put the URL to the full-size image underneath.

ImageMagik: Command-line tools: Mogrify is a wonderful tool.

Alternatively, some on-line image storage sites (photobucket is one example) do this kind of thing for you. They provide you with a thumbnail image and a URL for it, which is what you post in the forum. When you click on it, it leads you to the full-size image. So you don't need to do anything special in the post itself. For example, see the post viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1134&start=260#p97643 . Click on one of the thumbnails and you'll see what I mean (notice the IMG Thumb URL box in the bottom left corner of the photobucket page?).

EDIT: See posts further on in this thread -- Thev00d00 has now enabled the BBCodes for strike-through, image resizing and tables (although the tables do not work very well).

While you're at it, can you please add the Table codes? Ta.

[Thev00d00]

Code: Select all

[table]
[tr]
  [th]Col 1[/th]
  [th]Col 2[/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
  [td]w00t[/td]
  [td]w00t[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
  [td]Go LolCats[/td]
  [td]Thev00d00 rocks![/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Col 1	Col 2
w00t	w00t
Go LolCats	Thev00d00 rocks!

* Edit, seems the theme is lacking the table CSS stuff, get onto Ajez about that.
