SMF Forum tips & tricks / Highlight text
« Last post by WestwegoMan on May 15, 2015, 11:21 PM »
This will enable you to highlight text in a post.

Upload highlight-text.gif to your theme directory. Theme may vary if using a different theme from the default.

/Themes/default/images/bbc/highlight-text.gif

NOTE: This mod is installed the old fashioned way using Boardmod. I may eventually get around to making this work with the SMF package manager.

« Last post by WestwegoMan on Feb 09, 2015, 12:40 AM »
I have used this same recipe on white beans and butter beans. I have had success getting people to eat beans who never would eat them before.

Mr. C's Beans

1 Lb Pickled Pork
1 ½ Lbs of sausage
1 Lb Dry Beans
2 Lg. Onions (chopped)
2 Lg. Bell Peppers
¼ tsp black pepper
1 Tsp. Sugar
2 tsp. Vinegar
1/8 tsp powdered cloves
½ tsp Thyme
1/8 tsp. Powdered allspice
3 ribs of celery
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
½ Tsp Tony’s seasoning
Salt to taste

Sauté onions, celery, and bell peppers in a large pot. Slice sausage into ¼ inch pieces. With 2 ½ quarts of water, add sausage, pork and other ingredients except for Tony’s and salt (add these after beans have been cooking for about 3 hours). Cover and set on low heat until water starts to simmer. Do not let boil. Let simmer gently stirring every 15 minutes. When beans are tender, serve over rice.

SMF Forum tips & tricks / Edit BBC mod
« Last post by WestwegoMan on Jan 23, 2015, 5:46 PM »
Edit BBC

Latest Version: 1.0
Compatible With SMF: 2.0.x

This mod will add a "edit" BBC used to help identify the edited or added content in a post.
This is ideal for those who like to have edited content stand out in posts. This was made for and tested on SMF 2.0.8 but as far as I know, should work on all 2.0 versions.

There are no settings for this mod. As always, make a backup first!

Just wrap the content within the following tags.
Code: [Select]
[edit][/edit]

Edited:
This is what the mod does.

Mod History
Sep. 22, 2014 - First release. Thanks to BurkeKnight for the use of some of his code to learn from.

SMF Forum tips & tricks / Omit leading zero in SMF time format
« Last post by WestwegoMan on Jan 23, 2015, 5:44 PM »
Since I installed SMF, the time format has been bugging me. I searched through many threads on the support site with no luck. After a bit of searching again today, I came across a thread about getting rid of the leading zero in the time.

April 05, 2014, 09:13:54 PM

I wanted it to read like this instead.

All of this time it was because I mistook an I for an l. If this bugs you also, you can set the time format to the following in Admin > Features and Options > General

Instead of this:
Code: [Select]
%b %d, %Y, %I:%M %p
Use this to omit the leading zero
Code: [Select]
%b %d, %Y, %l:%M %p
