PHP and BBCode
 

I want to incorperate some PHP into my BB Code. How would I do this?

For examples sake. I want to fetch a web page using file_get_contents and allow users to do this with bbcode.

BBCode
[fetchpage]http://www.url.tld[/fetchpage]

So how would I do this?

I don't think you could do this through vBulletin Add new BB Code, but you could use the plugin: bbcode_parse_complete

You can add custom BB codes using the hook bbcode_fetch_tags. It is located at the end of class_bbcode.php (look at how it works).

Ive no idea how to go about using hooks.

Lets say I want to create a plugin for bb code which will just do some PHP to whatever is within the bb code tags I defined. How would I do this?

I just did a search on the forum, and guess what showed up? This.

Looks very helpful. Ill read a bit deeper later. Thanks for your help :)
