How can I parse this easily? (vb 2.3)
 

I have this code:



As you can tell, its my pagetext. This appears on a non-vb page.



What is the best way for this echo to adhere to vB codes, smilies, etc?



Is there a function I should include from elsewhere?



I'm already including global.php in this code, so any help additionally would be greatly appreciated and shared.



Thanks in advance!

I believe you need to look into the bbcodeparse and bbcodeparse2 functions :)

Using the bbcodeparse2 function directly works fine.

Ok, I've located the functions (in functions.php) and written the include into my page.

Now, how would I edit the echo to parse it?

Thanks Mist, you seem to answer everyones' issues in this section! :)

Focusing now on bbcodeparse2...

I've altered my code as such;

Along with trying a number of other different options...nothing is working.

Can anyone throw me a bone so that I can work this out? I think we should post this as a hack as well, since there seem to be alot of people who have requested this, but nobody ever finishes it up.

PHP Code:

---

$row_rsNewsForum['pagetext'] = bbcodeparse2($row_rsNewsForum['pagetext'],0,1,1,1); 


---

The numbers after the variable is, allowhtml,allowsmilies,allowimages and allowbbcode :)

YOU ROCK.

Now, I got bbcode parsing (I had to add an echo to the beginning, but that is neither here nor there).

The only problem I am having now, is that my htmlcode within posts is not registering now...is there a way to fix this issue, or am I going to have make due with just vbcode only?

Here is what my HTML is outputting as:

My code outputting this is:

I'm digging through showthread, but I can't find how they parse both vbcode and htmlcode at the same time...

grr.
