Making use of the bbcodeparse() function externally

[TWTCommish]

Ok, I've got a script seperate from vBulletin, and I want to be able to have certain data parsed for vB code as vB's messages are. I have a require() command pointing to the admin/functions.php file, so as to make the two functions (that I know of) available to me...

...I figured I could simply pass my text like this:

$text = bbcodeparse($text);

...but that won't work. Any idea what's up?

I hate to bump, but I have no choice. :(

Hmmm, something's wrong. I started getting errors, so I tried to use chdir() to fix them. Here's what I'm using now. I have these two lines:


chdir("/usr/home/web/path/to/forums");
require("/usr/home/web/path/to/forums/global.php");


And then, I do this:

$comments = bbcodeparse2($comments,"1","1","1","1");

I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/home/web/path/to/forums/admin/functions.php on line 75

Any idea what's wrong? Thanks for your help either way! :)

I hate having to bump things, but I'm totally stuck on this.

I don't have the vB source handy so I can't check myself but it sounds like the $DB_site class is being used in the bbcodeparse2 function. You need to change all calls to these to reference the mysql_query/mysql_fetch_array functions or remove them altogethor.

Thanks -- I copied over a few functions and changed their name, and it works great. Really helps to tie the rest of the site into the forums. Thanks! :)
