TMTP syntax

[Florent]

To use tmtp with short manialinks, you should use this syntax :

tmtp:///:YourManialink

the character ':' before the manialink indicates it's a short manialink
and not an URL, and the 3 characters '/' after "tmpt:" are needed
because otherwise web browsers (like IE, Firefox,...) add a '/' at the
end of the manialink.
So when you type "tmtp://:Manialink:Home" in your web browser,
it will send the string "tmtp://:Manialink:Home/" to TrackMania,
and then the game will try to show the manialink "Manialink:Home/"
instead of "Manialink:Home".
But if you type "tmtp:///:Manialink:Home", it will not modify the string.

I think blahitis did or is doing a BBCode for it ^_^

Thanks a lot for this info, Florent =)
Are there any other fancy tmtp commands that we need to know about (other than the obvious #score=, #addfavourite=, #invitebuddy=, #addbuddy=, #joinasreferee=, #spectate=, and #join= )?

[Florent]

That's all

Other things you can do would be with a ManiaLink page or ManiaCode (without downloads however)

Ok, so will there be an official documentation about all the ManiaLink styles and substyles?
Sorry for the offtopic, but I'm dying to know

Testing...

Official documentation? Hehe, no - manialink there is most mysterious language that I ever seen.

"The manialink creation may be more simple in the future" - that Nadeo answered me.

Hi,

Sorry to bring this old post back up, but howto make the tmtp link clickable in forum posts like an url

Thanks

[manialink=][/manialink]

[MuLoO]

[manialink=][/manialink]

Thanks but this only works for this forum ... the buttons are allready in the editor ... but on an other server = inpossible?

[manialink=][/manialink]

Nope, unless that other forums' admin adds support for them, like Blahitis did here.

Btw, I saw Florent use a [spectate=][/spectate] tag, but there's no button for that one on the posting page yet. Time to add it, Blah?

thanks

If I put an images between [server=] [/server]
Then it doesn't work

I can't see the actual code that turns the BBCode into HTML, but this is what I think may be happening.
The "[server=]" adds a break right after the "<a>", so the "[img]" part right after moves to the next line, and it, plus the stuff that follows, doesn't get turned.

Images work fine with the [manialink] BBCode though; I just checked.
It's probably useful to compare the two pieces of code.

(The following won't change the BBCode thing, but documenting for those who want to know:
In Firefox go: Tools > Options... > Applications > tmtp, and use its pull-down menu to change your preferences for that protocol.)

I have been testing a while to make a image clickable with a tmtp link ...
example : [url=tmtp://:#join=e-gekko-lol][/url]

this is the code i tryed

Code: Select all

[url=tmtp://:#join=e-gekko-lol][img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[/img][/url]

but my outcome is like this

Code: Select all

 tmtp://:/#join=e-gekko-lol 

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

well yes I actually "had" to do it if some of these links were gonna work because the software doesn't like # in a link in some case and phpbb doesn't want to help me with that. (safety first I guess?).

The bbcode is just a case of translating an imput to a html hyperlink output, while also providing you with a simplified method of showing your manialinks, scores and servers here.

actually on other nonphpbb3 servers it might respond completely differently , depending on the software if you are just pasting the dry links.

This is just a "foolproof" method (or as foolproof as possible ofcourse) The perfect foolproof method would be that you think about a manialink and it suddenly starts up trackmania without pressing a key

[MuLoO]

en nu in het nederlands ...

So you say its not possible...
the only solution for me is to have a php page that triggers the tmtp correctly?
