[ANNOUNCEMENT] Card tags (2.0!)
Since a few months ago, the site has offered the possibility of automatically making the card names in your posts display a tooltip card picture upon hovering, and link to their page on http://deckbox.org upon clicking. Because there is not (yet) a button for this function in the forum editor, some readers aren't yet aware of this.
To provide a card, or a list of cards (see below) with a tooltip/hyperlink, you need to put {CARDS} before its name and {/CARDS} after it, replacing the { } brackets with the [ ] that are used in this forum.
As of today, the parser is a little smarter and will recognise the most common ways of typing decklists. Here are a few examples:
HTML Code:
[CARDS]
5 Tarmogoyf
4x Spiny Starfish
1 Ęther Adept
2-4 Framed!
3 Fire // Ice
1 [LG] Karakas
Random text
// Commented text
4 Swords to Plowshares // Commenting after a card doesn't work (thank the split cards for that)
[/CARDS]
Boy, I sure hate [cards]Wasteland[/cards]!
will turn into:
As smart readers will have figured out from the above examples, you can also just wrap CARDS tags around a directly-copied Magic Workstation decklist and only the card names will be hyperlinked.
You are not required to put CARDS tags around your decklists and new card suggestion, and you won't be sanctioned for not doing so (whereas, for example, you are required to make your posts readable and make sure they have content).
It will often be in your own best interest, however, to use tags when proposing decks or mentioning cards that are not completely well-known. Readers are lazy enough that having to look up a card on their own may very well be enough to dissuade them from reading the rest of the post you have worked so long on.
Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Card tags (2.0!)
Is there a way to have 'Card Tags' display a specific printing of a card?
For example, how can I make Juggernaut display http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers...=321&type=card instead of http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers...3289&type=card ?

I'm not seeing a way in the deckbox vBulletin scripts.
Juggernaut?printing=3055
example: https://deckbox.org/mtg/Juggernaut?printing=3055
HTML Code:
[cards]Juggernaut?printing=3055[/cards]

This: [url=http://deckbox.org/mtg/Counterspell?printing=6455]Counterspell[/url]
Would come out like this: Counterspell
For Juggernaut: [url=http://deckbox.org/mtg/Juggernaut?printing=3055]Juggernaut[/url]
Juggernaut

While we're at it, could we get a button that does when clicking on it? Pretty please?

Ah yeah, that's pretty good. Forgot it applied to every url, not just card tags.

I had asked that here (I don't know why I didn't realize there was a thread in this section for Card Tags too).

Any chance we could get a button, like the one that adds the Bold tags, or Unline Tags, etc. for the Cards tag? It would be so much easier than typing it out every time.
I think this form
here is how you do it. If need be, I'll make a logo for the button if no one else can.
Thanks!
