Scrippets for vBulletin

The unstoppable Nima has a put together a Scrippets plug-in (sorry, “product”) for the very popular vBulletin forum system. It’s free, and you can find it here. Many thanks to Craig Mazin for his help in the process.

If you’d like to start using scrippets on your favorite messageboard, check the footer to see if it’s vBulletin, then send the link to your friendly moderator. It’s very straightforward to add.

“Traditional” scrippets, with the [scrippet][/scrippet] markup, are now available for the following systems:

• Wordpress (self-hosted blogs)
• bbPress
• Drupal
• vBulletin
• Blogger (new Javascript version)

In addition, you can use the interactive Scrippets Maker to generate markup for other systems that allow you to modify the CSS, including…

• Movable Type
• TypePad
• Wordpress.com
• Tumblr
• and many others

For general instructions on how to get the Scrippet Maker version working on these semi-supported systems, click here.

A real Movable Type/TypePad plugin should be very straightforward, so if there are any developers interested in creating one, please check out the code.

   John, your link above …

   • Blogger (new Javascript version)

   … leads to: “Not Found. The requested URL /blogger was not found on this server…”

   Wow, John, that Scrippets for Blogger page is outstanding. Kudos!

   Also, I put on my to-do list making a plugin for phpBB, the free vBulletin alternative, but I have no idea what I’m doing, so it might take be a while.

   Here’s to Scrippets world domination: w00t!

   I installed scrippets on wordpress yesterday. The faq/instructions on the WP page differed slightly from the scrippets.org page (in terms of getting character names centered) and I had a little trouble with formatting; however, after a little trial and error, it started to work.

   thanks for this!

   So, John, do you know whether this vBulletin plug-in can be used on Invision?

   Digsby is a free program which combines IM, Email, and Social Networking into one. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it’s really good. I’m running 3 IM accounts, facebook, myspace, and 2 gmail accounts on it and everything works. I’m honestly impressed so far.

   Check it out and download it here: http://www.lan5.net/digsby.html

   I do have a one problem with it though. I can’t figure out how to put links into my profile. It’s not that big of a deal though.

   What do you think, is Digsby better than Trillian and those other communication programs?
