Do you think its possible to install the Hand Converter (Web Dev Kit) on this website http://www.handconverter.com/tools/ on simple forums from looking at the readme?

Thanks.

README

Files Included in this bundle:

1) postproxy.pl – Do not modify, store locally on your server. Recommended location is /cgi-bin/postproxy.pl

2) convert.js – Locations for postproxy.pl and output HTML Identifier must be set in first two lines. Additional modifications

to convert.js and subsequent HTML code are welcome. See below for parameters TheHandConverter.com conversion service allows.

3) ui.html – Sample HTML code that has been tested on VBulletin forum installations such as the embedded "Official" 2+2 converter

at twoplustwo.com forums. If you modify the HTML to work on another forum installation please share your code and I will add further

examples to the install bundle – converter@deucescracked.com

*****************************

Server configuration:

Your server needs to be running perl as CGI, and do CPAN for CGI and LWP::UserAgent.

The postproxy.pl file needs to run on the same server as the forums.

The convert.js file should be linked in the head of your forum template as

follows: <script type="text/javascript" src='convert.js'></script>

VBulletin specific: The contents of ui.html should be pasted into the new topic and reply

templates directly above the form element named vbform.

Non VBulletin forum installation: You will need to modify ui.html as appropriate and paste into your forum

post and reply HTML templates.

I think it's probably extremely doubtful but I don't really know as I don't know what it is for or what it does.

The end result I believe is if you paste hand history that a poker site gives you in a post it will automatically convert it all nice.

I see. Well it will all come down to how they do this in WordPress. For example if they use a shortcode then it may well work OK. Javascript will probably not. You just need to try it I guess.

Now there is a plug-in that they also have for Word Press. What it does, it creates a button in the TinyMCE post editor that will popup a small window where you paste your info and convert. Maybe there's away to add that plug-in to the simple-forums post editor?

Well despite hoping to get plugin support into 4.2 I am afraid we ran out of time.
I DO have a small plugin utility that will allow you to add a new plugin which I can send you. Yo have to do a little bit of editing before running it….
But I still have no idea if whatever they do would work. Will depend on whether passes through the SPF filters or not.
