Adding custom made BBCode plugin for CKEditor

I'm using CKEditor on an ASP.Net form. Part of the requirements are to have plugin built into CKEditor that allows custom made BBCode, that would produce some result in the view (for the example sake, let's assume - div, 400px X 400px, black background), but leave the source code as is (for this example, the code it has to produce will be [blackcube]).

I have tried to create it on my own, read CKEditor documentation, and googled for information regarding that issue, but all I could find was not useful. I would appreciate any help that would direct me towards the solution.

Re: Adding custom made BBCode plugin for CKEditor

I do believe you have to modify the plugin.js file in ckeditor\_source\plugins\bbcode
The bbcode that comes with the plugin are just examples of the most commonly used functions. If you want the plugin to do other stuff you will have to modify that file.

Hi Sebastian,

Do you think there can be some guidance regarding what exactly needs to be changed? I've tried some things but it doesn't seem to work.

I would appreciate any kind of help with that.

Thank you
