This is a very basic question indeed, but I need help to make a basic custom BBCode for my forum...

I have tried myself, but since I'm too stupid to figure it out - I even managed to mess up quoting in the forum... 😊 😁

What I want to do is to refer to an external product link from a product id within the BBCode tags...

Like this:


[product]37017[/product]
Should act like:
<a href="http://www.company.com/products/lawnmowers/37017">37017</a>

The product id could be like "3701", "B126-2", "RC3514" as examples...

Any help would be very much appreciated indeed...

I have never done this, and I suck on RegEx so I would need the Search & Replace Regexes as well as additional info regarding the fields to fill in when in the Add BBcode dialog...

The easiest way would be to check existing BB Code Extension to see how it works.

Ok what you need is

Search Regex...

\[product\](?<inner>.*?)\[/product\]

and Replace Regex

<a href="http://www.company.com/products/lawnmowers/${inner}">${inner}</a>
