Help with coding custom bbcodes

Sorry if this is in the wrong board.

Anyway, I'd like to add another color bbcode. Like Text!
I've managed to add it to the list, but the color just stays black, and I don't know how to get rid of the brackets.

Anyone know hkw to fix this? Help is appreciated.

Is your forum's version phpBB 3?

Yep. Phpbb3 prosilver.

Could you post how you added the new color?

Here's the code. Pretty sure it's in Javascript but I'm not 100%.

Code:


(function(){var d={add:function(b,e,c){$(function(){if(document.getElementById("text_edit")){void 0==c&&(c="");var a=document.createElement("span");a.innerHTML='<button class="button2" style="height: 22px; margin-right: 5px;" onClick="bbfontstyle(\''+e+"', '"+c+"'); return false;\">"+b+"</button>";document.getElementById("new_buttons_area").appendChild(a)}})},list:function(b,e,c){$(function(){if(document.getElementById("text_edit")){var a=document.createElement("span");a.innerHTML='<input type="button" style="height: 22px; margin-right: 5px;" value="'+ b+'" onclick="selectWysiwyg(this, \''+c+'\');" class="button2">';document.getElementById("new_buttons_area").appendChild(a);a=document.createElement("div");a.id=c;a.className="select";a.style.visibility="hidden";for(var d in e)a.innerHTML+="<button onmouseout=\"this.className='';\" onmouseover=\"this.className='selectHover';\" onclick=\"bbfontstyle('"+e[d]+"', '');selectWysiwyg(this, '"+c+"');return false;\">"+d+"</button><br>";document.getElementById("text_editor_select_controls").appendChild(a)}})}, init:function(){$(function(){if(document.getElementById("html_edit")){var b=document.createElement("div");b.id="new_buttons_area";b.style.paddingTop="5px";document.getElementById("html_edit").parentNode.insertBefore(b,document.getElementById("html_edit").nextSibling)}})}};window.buttons=d;d.init()})();
buttons.add('Light red', '[color=lightred]','[/color]');


Got it from some guy named Rideem on fmquery. I think you might've linked someone else to it in another thread.

Anyway, it adds (color=lightred)(/color) to the text box when you click on the button, but that's it. Know how to actually make the color light red when you post?

One problem is that there is not a color called light red.

Take a look here for the lists of colors - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_color & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors

Nevermind I just got the hexcode for the color I wanted and added it. Works like I wanted it to. Thanks for your help, slg.

Solved.
