How to replace html with bbcode in button bar

edited April 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I have button bar installed and added:
$Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'BBCode';
to config.php in the conf folder, in hopes of button bar using bbcode instead of html, but it didn't and it still uses html. Can anyone help me?

    Have you tried using http://vanillaforums.org/addon/nbbc-plugin

    If you make CORE changes, and then revert back ... Always delete the .ini files in your cache folder also.

    It didn't work as in it still only uses simple html, I pruned the cache and installed the plugin but it still only uses simple html. (should I empty the minify files and the empty file?)

    Thing is, if you have static css and js across all pages. The FULL version of your css and js files are loaded the first time for the user.

    After which, browser should cache your files anyway.

  • I found something about databases here, can anyone walk me through this as I understand nothing about databases (other than to make them)

    I fixed it by going into phpMyAdmin, into the forum database, find the discussion table, click structure, find the format column and change the value from null to as defined:, and in the text box below enter BBCode (capitilization counts), press save. Do the same thing to the comments table. (don't forget to add $Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'BBCode'; In the conf/config.php
