Parse BBcode in CustomPage exactly like in Postbit
 

Hey there,

I fetched some threads via a SQL-Query and registered it so that the Template can access it. Works like a charm.
Of course the posttext is only shown unparsed, so i used:

Works, but attached Images are shown as "Attachment $ID", e.g. "Attachment 612".
I'm currently using some RegEx-Magic to get the images parsed, but that's nothing I want to do forever.

So is there any possibility to parse the posttext exactly like it looks in the postbit?

Help? :(

Bump!

Having a similar problem to this :) In the postbit, an image attachment will appear as as a thumbnail. In a custom page I made it appears as the text "Attachment $ID" instead of the image.

For example, see my website at:
www.udmod.com/news.php

Any help would be much appreciated :)

I think the easiest way to get a post to look exactly like postbit would be to create a postbit object the same way it's done in showthread.php. If you don't want to do that, then you probably have to look at the code in includes/class_postbit.php to see how it works. In the case of attachments it's not bbcode (as the OP was suggesting). There's a function in class_postbit.php called process_attachments that creates an attachment object and calls a function (also called process_attachments) that does a lot of stuff (it's in packages/vbattach/attach.php). You may be able to use that code without using the postbit class if you make your own $post array that contains whatever process_attachments needs to do it's work.

I know that's probably confusing. I guess the short answer is that there's no short answer.
