Q : How to edit bbcodes in ABBC3A : For the moment is not possible to edit a ABBC3 bbcode itself.
ABBC3 bbcodes are equal to phpbb bbcodes, you can't change [ b] [ url] [ img] [ quote] etc... several of them have complex code to get the final replacement, if an user change something will destroy it and not working any more...

'ABBC3_SUP_TIP' => '[sup]text[/sup]',
'ABBC3_SUP_VIEW' => '<sup>This is a sample text</sup>',

You can use both at the same time, or disable mine,
Q : What if I disable ABBC3, what then will be show when users write post? Original toolset of phpBB codes or nothing?A : if you decided not to continue using ABBC3 as tool bar you will return to see the default phpbb bbcode tool bar, and will get all your custom bbcodes again, but ABBC3 bbcodes will still be present for use but without any kind of icon or button you need to "remember how to use it" an still working for display it in the viewtopic page
Q : If I disable some of ABBC3 bbcodes, they just not on ABBC3 tool bar, what happens to older post which has use ABBC3 bbcodes ?A : When you disable, you only disable it for display the icon in the posting tool bar, but still working in view, this work like custom bbcodes from phpbb, you can choose "Display on posting page" but still work.
If you disable a custom bbcode or an ABBC3 bbcode, but you write the code in a post, you code will be replaced any way.
Remember, the disable/enable is only for display the icon or button. not for delete
Q : What is this actually in ACP? "Resize posting textarea" (Display buttons to resize posting textarea.)A : If you look at ABBC3 tool bar the first 2 buttons are + and - this feature make a longer/shorter text box, so you or your users can see a bigger box when writting without the slide bar at the right at the text box
Q : How and where to make divisions for tags in ABBC3 tool bar (I see them in ACP)A : Default install comes with 4 division mixed with bbcodes, so you can choice to use it or not. Same thing with line break have by default 2 and 4 more disabled.
But if you wants more you can easily add more, go to the ACP -> Posting -> Advanced BBcodes Box 3 -> ABBC3 BBcodes : at the very bottom of the list you will find 2 buttons
Add new Division Add new Line break, simply click on it .
Q : What does re-parse mean ?A : The question is not easy to explain, and worst for me with my limited/bad English ...
Each table for post, PM and Signature have a special row named
uid and another named
bitfield, both values are strongly connected to each bbcode, if a bbcode is added or deleted from the database, the text will not show the replacement for that bbcode bbcode and instead that will display something like
[XXX]text[/XXX]So if the bbbcode table change, also have to be updated the text from the post/pm/signature, and that process is performed with the Re-parse steps in the install script.
To be clear, the re-parse step is not mine, was written by
iWisdom and hi is a
