Use BBCode on custom vBulletin powered pages

[4lun]

At the moment I'm including the global.php file and using it to keep users logged in across my site, I've also managed to get my head around including custom templates (there was a tutorial on here somewhere I found a couple of days ago).

I'm now at the point that I want to know if there is a way to pharse my own text on the page using vbulletin's bbcode, is there such a way, and if so can anyone explain it to me?

Sorry if this has already been answered, but I've spend the last couple of hours looking here and on vbulletin.com for a suitable answer.

Cheers, 4lun

If your unparsed text is in $unparsed_text, to parse it into $parsed_text:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$parsed_text = $bbcode_parser->do_parse($unparsed_text);

For details on extra arguments for do_parse(), controlling whether to parse HTML, image links, url's etc, see the API doc at:

Ah I never knew the documentation was that vast, anyway cheers for the code, it works perfectly :)
