phpBB3 support

In phpBB3 i can't type in HTML in the forum descriptions... It will show up exactly how i type it, so it won't change the colors of things and such that i want it to do. How do i enable HTML in the forum descriptions?

Just use bbcode 😉

An example for the colour usage output with HTML whilst using a bbcode:

[color=#FF0000]font[/color]

Will turn the font into red.

Oh really? I didn't know i could use bbcode.. i will see if it works right now!

 

[Nathan]

You can pretty much use bbcode wherever you like, it's the safe equivalent of HTML 😉

Ok yes that worked thank you.

Now can you tell me what HTML code i would need to use for a custom bbcode.. I want to get a Center BBCode, but i can't remember the centering tags for HTML...

There's a whole topic on phpBB's official support forum for custom bbcodes http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 6&t=579376 😉

Or you could use this site: http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com/

They have really a lot of them, but always pay attention to the description and read if there can be any security vulnerabilities. Some of them might make your forum vulnerable (like the iframe bbcode).

Cheers :great:
