FFans BBcode Studio

A Flarum extension. Create custom BBCode, link recognition, and automatic media embedding rules, powered by s9e TextFormatter.

This extension was developed with AI assistance. Custom rendering rules can load third-party content, so administrators should review the service provider's privacy policy before enabling them.

Features

• Includes Bilibili, YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify and NetEase Cloud Music media embed rules, disabled by default.
• Includes Notice, Spoiler, and KDB BBCode rules, disabled by default.
• Create, edit, reorder, enable, disable, delete, and test custom BBCode and media embed rules in the administration dashboard.
• Create a composer button and default inserted content for each BBCode.
• Custom BBCode
  • Custom BBCode rules define an s9e TextFormatter usage and rendering template, which are compiled and checked before saving.
  • Custom BBCode roots receive BbcodeStudio-bbcode and BbcodeStudio-bbcode-{tag} classes for category-wide or per-rule styling.
  • Custom BBCode can configure default tag attributes inserted by its composer button.
• Media embeds
  • Automatically detect URLs and convert them into iframes or other embedded media based on rules.
  • Media embeds define PHP PCRE-based rules that extract resource identifiers from URLs, along with player dimensions.
  • Media roots receive BbcodeStudio-media and BbcodeStudio-media-{tag} classes for category-wide or per-rule styling.
  • Recognition rules are divided into Direct extraction and Short-link redirect. Because short links do not contain the platform resource identifier, the backend records the redirected URL when a post is saved and then processes it with the extraction rules.
  • Once a media embed is enabled, matching links in posts are automatically converted into responsive players. BBCode usage can also be enabled separately.
  • Media rules can configure iframe attributes: allowfullscreen supports forms with or without a value, while allow, referrerpolicy, and scrolling require values.

Installation

Install with Composer:

composer require ffans/bbcode-studio
php flarum cache:clear

Enable the extension in the Flarum Dashboard.

Updating

composer update ffans/bbcode-studio
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

How it works?

Short-link redirects follow at most three redirects. Only short-link domains detected from the rule may be contacted, and the final URL must belong to a source domain defined by the same media rule. Successful results are cached for 30 days and failures for 5 minutes. Viewing a published post does not request the short-link service again.

Rule changes automatically flush the formatter cache. Existing posts are not updated.
