converting dateline and parsing bbcode

Hi everyone.
Those of you know about my vrssi project then you surely know why I need to know this. Anyways those who don't I am trying to display thread contents and display them as news in a static/dynamic webpage. Now it works just fine, but I have two little problems. One is the codes stored in the database are bb code not html so when it displays in webpage its like

PHP Code:


		
			
[URL]www.vbulletin.org[/url]

and second I don't really know how to convert the dateline format into somthing more human readable like December 25, 1989. Which function in vbulletin basically does those job? First converts the bb code to HTML and decrypts the dateline integers? :).

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

For the BBCode, there is a bbcode parser class that will convert it for you. Take a look at includes/class_bbcode.php.

For the dateline, use vbdate(). Eg:

PHP Code:


		
			
// For dates

echo vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $myDateline);



// For times

echo vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $myDateline);

Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks m8 I got the dateline working just fine. However having some trouble with bbcode parsing. I have the news file in the forum directory so I just included the same files index.php has :). However when I initialize the bbcode parser it gives me this error:

Code:

         

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: vb_bbcodeparser in /path/to/forum/directory/news.php on line 10

.

This is what I have in 10,

$rbbcode = & new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

and later in the code I am trying to parse the data like this: $news = $rbbcode->parse($data['pagetext'], $forumid);

The vB_BbCodeParser requires the following parameters,
vB_Registry Reference to registry object
array List of tags to parse

Any ideas?

Try adding

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode_parser.php');

At the top of the file

Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks alan, I was reviewing the showthread.php file and saw that it does include the class_bbcode.php file seperately where I thought it is included within global.php. Thanks for your support :).
