running a function on a vbcode bit...
 

i never really write custom hacks for vbb... but i know php.

i have a function i wrote that i want to run on some text when its encased in a vbCode [tag] on my forum.

where in the vbulletin code should i be looking to make this happen... or is there some triggers i can put in the bbcode table to that vb will know to pass the param to a function?

so for example

i have a function... say its called myFunc($var)

where is a universally accepted spot in vBB to put custom code bits, or do we just free for all?

so someone goes and posts:

i want to pass the text in [tag] now to $var in myFunc() and return it back to let vBB do whatever it does from there.

so say myFunc just changed the text in $var to "JUNK" i want the post to appear as

Download that hack and take a look at it and try useing that as a refrence.

hmm. thx...

seems tho this will just help with adding the bbcode bits... still not sure where to tell vBulletin to process the contents with a PHP function...?

Check in you admin panel ;)

all i know of in there that applies is the add custom vb code bit... but still... where am I telling this thing to send {param} to a custom PHP function and wait for return?
