How can I activate this plugin?

I installed this plugin in Vanilla 2.0.17.10 stable, but it doesn't seem to parse BBcode:

http://64.62.228.109:5198/index.php?p=/discussion/2/test-bbcode

[b]bold text[/b] appears as entered, instead of displaying the bold text.

Is there some setting I need to change? The plugin page doesn't mention anything.

    Hmm, the plugin should have done this, but add the following to your config:
    $Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'BBCode';

    same problem for me...It requires Vanilla version 2.0.2.a...
  • I assume that requirement means "2.0.2.a or later" and if the versioning scheme follows the usual conventions, 2.0.17.10 (the stable version) should satisfy the requirement.

  • Thanks, adding that setting to config.php worked - new posts are formatted OK, though existing ones remain raw. Not a problem.
  • I added 'BBCode' to the config-defaults.php file and bbcode doesn't work. So then I added the entire line to config.php and bbcode doesn't work. Out of ideas. It is enabled. Help please!

    First, never edit config-defaults.php. (Read the FIRST THING in that file!)

    Second, make sure $Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] isn't already in your config.php somewhere. If so, remove the ones you added and change that one instead.

  • doesnt work for me...
    i checked if there was a $Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] already in the config.php, found none, so i added $Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'BBCode'; and saved it, but it didnt change anything.
    i used [b]test[/b] for testing. old posts still look like [b]test[/b] without formatting and new ones dont either.

  • i just noticed something superstrange. the bbcode works...in signatures but not in posts O.o

    For me it works with ButtonBar, but Spoiler not work:
    If I disable NBBC, the spoiler code is not working:

    Spoiler
    Test

    And if I enable it, the spoiler code is working, but the text is not in a spoiler

    Test

    But i want to have:

    Spoiler

    hi everyone

    to enable BBCode for older comments and discussions you have to change value of 'Format' column from 'Html' to 'BBCode' in the DB (tables *_Comment and *_Discussion) for that comment/discussion

    after that when you'll try to edit comment/discussion you'll see message about BBCode under the editor

    but remember that old message is html-formatted so you have to fully rewrite it
