[columnsplit]

Alright so I released this new tag hours ago in Testing and floated the link in chat, but I realized maybe some "official" announcement here might be good.

ANNOUNCING [COLUMNSPLIT]

Use like this:

Code:
[columnsplit]left hand stuff
(note that content can span multiple lines)
||
right hand stuff
([colour=blue]BB Code[/colour] is fine too)[/columnsplit]
right hand stuff
(BB Code is fine too)
left hand stuff
(note that content can span multiple lines)

This tag just splits the post into two columns, left-justifying the left one and right-justifying the right. A line containing just "||" separates the content for the columns; anything before it goes on the left, anything after on the right. The main use for this will probably be for signatures, so that you can put your witty quotes and external forum advertisements on the same line as your gaudy sig image and not above or below it, saving valuable vertical space use can use to get the maximum 300 pixels of height like my garbage below.

Use this thread in Testing to see more examples of how to use it and just dick around with trying to break it.

(there is a bonus tag announcement in this thread, can you find it?)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I want to say the 'bonus tag' is
Code:
[colour][/colour]
Before, only the American spelling worked, as far as I know. That addition, along with columnsplit, is awesome.

...Unless it's this?

Is this limited to 2 columns or can we number off columns as needed?

If it was just a pure table tag like that, Paco, breakage would be highly amusing.

Fuck awesome though CHz, what are you using, div tags?

I'm sure we'll have oodles of shenanigans with this one.
I know I've seen other message boards accomplish this with a [float] tag or somesuch, useful for including pictures and having descriptive text wrap around it. Yeah, it looks like it splits the two sections into divs, one floated to the right.

It was around ages but was lost in the last crash, but yeah it was me who asked him to put it back in (And put the split justify thing in, Skate came up with it years ago but I'm not sure he ever announced it outside of Testing and of course that died with the crashes too).

Yeah, as Sheep said it's just a couple of divs, one floating right with text justification defaulting to the right. Thought about implementing it as divs floating left with width calculation to allow multiple equal-width columns like Paco tried to do, but this allows images and text to fill in space if they have to. That's also why nesting the tags doesn't necessarily do what you'd expect it to.

What if you make a 3-column bbcode that center-aligns the main div, floats the next div left, and floats the last div right?

Reporting a possible problem with [columnsplit]

I incorporated it in my sig, but once I go and try to re-edit it, the tags disappear. Instead, the right portion of the signature is encapsulated by [RIGHT][/RIGHT] tags, while the left portion goes downwards.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Have you reproduced it? BBCode isn't supposed to fuck around with the original content. I'm not sure how your problem is even possible.

Happened twice with signature already, so yes.

Haven't checked if the same thing happens to ordinary posts.

Removing Zerg's profile editing privileges. Linking to cool2.php in your sig is definitely abuse. (Not to mention people have complained to me)

I just verified the bug Zerg mentioned. With the WYSIWYG editor enabled, it does in fact break apart a columnsplit like that. The only possible explanation is that the WYSIWYG editor takes the HTML and CSS that the columnsplit generates and backconverts it into BB Code tags, and so the right alignment of the right column causes it to make right tags.



Anyway I meant for the columnsplit tag to be disabled in WYSIWYG in the first place so that one should be fixed now.

Something to keep in mind with your signatures, guys, is how the popup bbcode works.

When the popup bbcode is used in an actual post its instance is contained within just that post. It isn't called later anywhere else in the thread. That wouldn't make sense. At least I think so. I'd like to see how quoting popup bbcode works in regards to that because I might be wrong.

ANYHOW! If you put popup bbcode in your signature then when it calls the instance of that popup it will not display in further calls to it i.e. any additional posts you make on that page. It will just add an additional down arrow () next to the very first post you make on the thread that calls the instance. It will do this for every additional post you have on a page. Have five posts on a page? You will have five down arrows in your first post on the page. So if Qwarky posts again on this page he will have two down arrows in his first post.

In light of this I've gotten rid of popup bbcode in my signature and replaced it with small text using the size=1 sub bbcode trick. That along with the new columnsplit bbcode has improved my signature greatly. Thanks again, CHz. =)))

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

actually its part of the css3 standard but implementors are supposed to prefix attribute names until the spec is finalized and they are in compliance but whatev

I've come across a little issue with the column split stuff. It seems that if you put quite a lot of text into the right hand side, it can overwhelm the other column and take up the entire width. I did a test with a big block of text and an image in the two columns (image in the left) and the image disappeared.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
