what would I need to do to make text going into a database vbcode??

i.e. i want my interactive story to have full vbcode support, so what do I need to run in order for all the nessacery checking, url converting, etc... to be preformed b4 it goes into the database.

I need the same for when it's pulled from the database and displayed.

You want to look at the bbcodeparse() function in fuctions.php this will allow you to use vBcode on your pages.

This bbcode thing is giving me a major headache, I can't work out what i need to do to text before adding it to the database, or what I need to do once I've pulled it out of the databse.

Can anyone maybe save me from this major headache and give me the code that would be needed?

cheers. :bunny: <-- look, a cute bunny!!!!

Nothing needs to be done before adding it to the db, if :abc: is vBcode then you put it into the db as :abc: its when you display it on the page that the vBcode needs to be parsed.

$output=bbcodeparse(a,b,c)

A: is the text with vBcode to be parsed;
B: is the forumid of the post;
C: 1 to allow smilies, 0 to disallow

(at least thats my understanding of the bbcodeparse() function)

I've just seen on another thread (here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38990&highlight=bbcodeparse) that when pulling info from the database, and you know how you want it displayed, you can bypass bbcodeparse and skip directly to bbcodeparse2 :)

I think that as long as I use addslashes() when inputting text, and htmlspecialchars() if viewing the text in a text box, then I should be OK.

but please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
