Okay I have fixed this on the dev version. The problem was that $forumid wasn't getting passed through the function. To fix it temporarily on your site, you can add $forumid to the argument list for the function call in the bbcode_parse_start plugin. The code should be:

In includes/ces_permissions.php, find:

Replace with:
The fact that none of the "do" vars were not passed by reference before means that no vB functionality was broken, but that basically this mod did nothing. Apply this fix and it should be working. I will upload a new patch as soon as I fix the Quick Edit bug.

Hello thincom,

I just installed the 2.0.1 and it's still not parsing [IMG] code in profile fields or visitor messages. I'm tinking about if something else is blocking this, but it's the first time I use your mod, so I'm not sure if it's meant to work there.

Where should I look, or better, what exactly should I do to test.
I also have project tools installed and of course your special xml therefor. (Just for info, don't know if it's important for you to know that).


Edit: I also got a 3.6.5 board, after installing CES_parser I get a database error when I go to the profiles:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS count
FROM infraction AS infraction
LEFT JOIN post AS post ON (infraction.postid = post.postid)
LEFT JOIN thread AS thread ON (post.threadid = thread.threadid)
WHERE infraction.userid =;

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 5


Perhaps this could help you too.

Okay, as [IMG] code seems to be the only malfunctioning code on your board, it would appear that vBulletin is hardcoded in some way to circumvent its use on the profile. I will see if there is a possible workaround for this.

I will also look at the 3.6.5 member.php to see why that may occur, although I know these permissions don't touch infractions at all. At first glance, it looks like $userinfo might be cleared for some reason.

Okay sorry, but I got 2 more things in 3.7

The inline-edit in about me doesnt show up anymore (which is less important)

.. but I have a major problem: when posting a visitor message on foreign profiles, the message is showing up in my profile only .. can you reproduce this?

Sorry to report you so many things, but I'd really like to help you and get your mod working because I've waited for a mod like yours. =)

Sorry but I am not experiencing this issue.

I can think of a possible cause for this without looking at the code, but I probably won't be able to look into this until tomorrow.

Thanks for that. I actually prefer more bug reports because I like being able to list a lot of things in the changelog between versions :p

I haven't tested this, but just thought of it while I was out.

In includes/ces_permissions.php, find:
Replace with:
That may even solve the 3.6.5 DB error. But then again I just thought of this a few minutes ago.

i get a blank white profile page after install for vbulletin 3.7 beta 4

Did you try the solution in my last post?

Ah, I was wondering about that. I was working on a hack last week to provide an HTML-enabled "About Me / Home Page" tab on the profile (replacing the default About Me), and it took a while to work how how the heck the $bbfoo variables I was setting were getting blown away! I presume handling of that stuff in bbcode_parse_start is what you mean by that last sentence. I'll load the new version this week and have another go at it.

The hack I mentioned above is basically a test for the HTMLpurifier. They've now added semi-sensible support for CSS as well, with the ability to restrict the scope of any CSS directives to a specific block ID. So far it's looking good. The cleaning process is pretty intense, lots of memory and CPU, and on larger sites I'm not sure it would be workable for common things like forum posts ... but for stuff like profiles, I think it's a winner.

My only real concern about using HTMLpurifier is convincing people who install it to keep it updated. All we can really do is put a big note in the mod description reminding people how important it is to mark the product "installed" so they can be informed of any security updates.
