The image part of the bbcode plugin is commented out by default. Look in /plugins/renderers/_bbcode.renderer.php and you'll see that the sections that do images are commented out. You could uncomment both of those sections and it may work. The comment does mention a security risk. I don't know anything about it, so do this at your own risk.

[img] is not enabled.

There's a comment in the plugin:

The following are dangerous, until we security check resulting code.

You would just have to uncomment the appropriate lines in "var $search" and "var $replace".

*edit*: I've added it to the todo list. Thanks for "reporting".. :)

For my money, this:

<a href="linktomywebsite.com/large_image_file.jpg"><img src="linktomywebsite.com/thumbnail_image_file.jpg" alt="something" /></a>

is just as simple as this:

[url= linktomywebsite.com/large_image_file.jpg ] [img] linktomywebsite.com/thumbnail_image_file.jpg [/img] [/url]

And the first one lets you have an alt text, which is pretty important.

Thanks :)

I'm curious, what's dangerous about it? I've had that capability for nearly 5 years on a very active web forum and its never presented any problems. I suppose if its the comment spam you're worried about, just disallow image posting for comments. That would make more sense to me anyway.

BTW, I realize its not that much more complicated to use HTML, its just that I am so used to BB code now and it does involved a lot less use of the shift key. Call me set in my ways, I guess. ;)

I like bb code though because I have to use it on one site and I repost the exact same thing on my b2 blog so it saves me mad keystrokes to copy and paste.
