Parsing BBcodes in custom fields on member profile page.

[Chris8]

People of vB perhaps you will be able to help me at least this time. I'm struggling with this problem since two days or so and I still cannot get it to work. I'm using vbulletin 3.8 series.

How the heck I will get bbcodes to work in custom fields in members profile. I'm trying to turn on smiles, urls and image parsing. I've digged various tutorials and plugins and and I've done a several mixes of them all and non of it works. I must be missing something obvious.

Here are some sample plugins I've tried.

members page goes blank


in member_complete
if ($userinfo['field7'])
{
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser))
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
}
$userinfo['field7'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['field7'],0, true);
}

not working

another one in member_complete
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$post[field7] = $parser->do_parse($post[field7], false, false, true, false, false, true);


Not working and so on... I've used of course a proper field number and bbcode parameters. So any help would be appreciated. I would be grateful if you could share a solution that will work in 100% percent.

Please, help me.

This seems to work: use hook location member_customfields and this code:

if ($profilefield['profilefieldid'] == 7)
{
global $vbulletin;
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$profilefield['value']= $bbcode_parser->parse(unhtmlspecialchars($profilefield['value']),0, true);
}


I tried it out but did not do much testing.

[Chris8]

Awesome, this one works! Thank you very much kh99! Folks like you restore my faith in people. :)

Kh99 has already answered but this is another way!

NON-VB

Add it to the top of the template where it shows/pastes ;)



Just include the string
<?php include 'bb2html.php';?>
And to call it simply write
<?php $htmltext = bb2html($bbtext);?>
[/code]

Then upload this file:

Call it: bb2html.php

<?php

// A simple FAST parser to convert BBCode to HTML
// Trade-in more restrictive grammar for speed and simplicty
//
// Syntax Sample:
// --------------
// http://pvhax.com/images/star.gif
// PvHax (http://pvhax.com)
// Webmaster
// HUGE
// RED
// bold
// italic
// underline
// item item item
// [code]value="123";
// John said yadda yadda yadda
//
// Usage:
// ------
// <?php include 'bb2html.php'; ?>
// <?php $htmltext = bb2html($bbtext); ?>


function bb2html($text)
{
$bbcode = array("<", ">",
"", " ", "",
"", "",
"", "",
"", "",
"", "",
'[color="', "[/color]",
"[size=\"", "[/size]",
'[url="', "[/url]",
"[mail=\"", "[/mail]",
"", "",
"", "",
'"]');
$htmlcode = array("&lt;", "&gt;",
"<ul>", "<li>", "</ul>",
"<img src=\"", "\">",
"<b>", "</b>",
"<u>", "</u>",
"<i>", "</i>",
"<span style=\"color:", "</span>",
"<span style=\"font-size:", "</span>",
'<a href="', "</a>",
"<a href=\"mailto:", "</a>",
"<code>", "</code>",
"<table width=100% bgcolor=lightgray><tr><td bgcolor=white>", "</td></tr></table>",
'">');
$newtext = str_replace($bbcode, $htmlcode, $text);
$newtext = nl2br($newtext);//second pass
return $newtext;
}
?>
