Here's another update.. v1.0.2

Programmatically there are no changes from the previous version.
All that has been changed is the version is incremented properly this time, titles/headings have been added and the admin settings have been reorganized.
It just makes it a bit more user friendly.

Uninstall & delete that version.

Download the attached v1.0.1 which has the added options for manually setting the starting message ID index & BBCode float index.

Wait, I think I misunderstood your statement.
Do you want to be able to start at a certain number that's within the BBCode itself?

I'll have to add another setting for that.
The index settings thus far are for the SMF message ID & have nothing to do with the regular expression that parses all the message bodies.

Wow, thank you for taking the time to make this. So I installed the mod and here is the config page:



How do I set it to start from 4678 or does it need to be placed in the BBCode field; "[embed]4678" ? Otherwise every post below that number will also be affected.

I tested out a bunch of MySQL syntax but it was taking too long to get the desired results so I decided to develop a small custom mod for you.

It will allow you to make custom adjustments which should give you the desired effect.
Please make sure to backup your database prior to using the modification in case something goes awry.
Let me know if there any bugs that I need to fix since I did not test it on 10000+ topics.

The custom mod is attached which you can install via your SMF packages manager.
