It seems like it would just be a couple of lines of PHP, but then you'd have a little extra work when upgrading the forum software. How often do you do that? |
Uh, never. phpbb 2.x isn't supported that I'm aware of.
I know 3.x is out but we had some issues trying to upgrade our database that I haven't worked out. Then there is also a fair amount of testing that needs to happen to make sure that phpbb 3.x integrates properly with the main-site software.
I'll look at getting the icons added, hopefully this weekend, unless GP wants to dig in..

I wouldn't bother scraping any data, just a macro expansion. Something like:
[cache regular GC1CMXN]It's Almost Over 2![/cache]
becomes

I explored a couple of different options (as suggested here), but ended up taking the path of least resistance (plus it makes any upgrades to v3.x a lot easier as we don't need to reapply patches).

Very nice! i was talking with my friend, and we were talking about a script to add bb code so [cache]GCXXXXX[/cache] gives you:
| Code: |
[url=http://coord.info/GCXXXXX]Cache name[/url]
|
I'll update in a new thread once I know more.

Adding a mod for this wouldn't be hard to do at all, I'm just not interesting in modding this version. If/when we get to version 3 then I'll look at a mod a little closer.
