[img] tags

Having a problem getting the [img] tag to work on my site. I have the following code:

Code:

[img]http://chart.finance.yahoo.com/c/3m/n/ntri[/img]

but when reading the post, it just shows the tags and the url. BBCode and HTML are both turned on for the post. Did I forget to turn something else on to make this work?

PS. I t doesn't seem to work on these forums either... See below...

An image tag must end in an img type. .jpg, .gif, .png etc

hmm ok.

So it looks like the only way to do this is to use html (and allow the "img" tag)...

Is there any way to modify the [img] bbcode to no care about the extension?

No, you use bbcode but point it to a file that ends in a legitimate image extension.

but what if it is a file that is created on the fly (like the link above) that will never have the extention???

I'm just teling you what the issues is, as I see it. Have you thought about using my Live stock quote application KISSQ?

This was just an example page, so not necessarily going to use stock quotes, etc.. I agree that this is the issue, what I am asking is how do I "hack" the forums to not REQUIRE an extention? I haven't been able to find where the BBcodes get translated into what is shown on the screen... Any ideas?

includes/bbcode.php

You really should not remove the image checking. It is a security precaution.
Nor should you be hotlinking to Yahoo.. I doubt they would appreciate it

evaders: AS I stated in my previous post, I just used that link as an EXAMPLE. But thanks for pointing me to the bbcodes...
