More vbcodes, like [google]

Would it be possible to add a vb code for [google] and/or [igrep]. I know comp and edwin did it at netbits, and it seems like a good idea.

Wahey, I got your rep power greater than your warning level!

yep it's easily done as shown in another thread.

I think we should have [google], [igrep] and [function=php] or [function=mysql], etc.

Yes, something to quickly link to the PHP documentation for functions would be greatly appreciated and constantly used.

It may be necessary to have documentation for other languages too. For example, perlmonks.org have a [cpan] tag, which creates a link to the relevant module on search.cpan.org, for example [cpan://HTML::Parser] links to http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=HTML%3A%3AParser

They also have a similar one for google, which looks like this: [google://search terms go here]. It would, indeed, be very useful. The main problem I can see with linking to documentation is that every forum will want one for themselves. I'm not familiar with extending vBulletin at all, but if this was implemented for PHP, perhaps somebody could post what was necessary to implement that and people in forums for other languages might do the work for adapting it for their pet language. I'd be willing to do ones for Perl and Java if this went ahead.

The php one is easily done by hand: url=www.php.net/function

cool

nice, but is it possible to make it so that the tag works if we don't specify link text, ie just type [google ]cool[ google] rather than [google=cool ]cool[ google]

We can use only one method at a time, the method you mention is easy but it is not flexible. Some times users want to show more details on their link. In this method they can add any description to link.

Not that I'm not already a happy bunny (because the [cpan] tag is much appreciated - and so quickly too!) but I'd be an even happier bunny if you were able to add a [perldoc] tag too, to complete the Perl-related tags. The format for this would be as follows:

Thanks.

We added [perldoc ] tag.

Example –
Search PRINT in perldoc.

[perldoc=print ]Search PRINT in perldoc.perl.org[/perldoc ]
