Great hack! I was using with 3.6.7 with no adverse issues. I'm about to deploy 3.7.0--will it still work? I've come to depend on this hack!

[Antivirus]

Really cool idea Abe1. I have a question however, are the permissions set in this mod also taken into consideration in /misc.php when generating the list of available BB Codes and examples?

For example, here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=bbcode

[thincom2000]

Nope. That has always been an issue.

EDIT: But in vBulletin 3.7, some new hooks make it much easier to do. Look at hooks misc_bbcode_bit for custom and misc_bbcode_complete for default bbcodes. For misc_bbcode_bit a continue is not possible, so you must be clever and restore/truncate the templates on each pass.

[thincom2000]

I believe this only works in vBulletin 3.7.0, because earlier versions don't have these hooks.
If you see this post, Abe, you're free to integrate it into the product.

To handle custom BB-Code perms, plugin at: misc_bbcode_bit
Note: You will need to modify the forum ID for your own setup.

PHP Code:

if (empty($full_parse))
{
    if (!defined('BBCODE_ENABLED_FORUM'))
    {
        define('BBCODE_ENABLED_FORUM', 2);
    }

    $full_parse = array(
        $vbulletin->templatecache['help_bbcodes_bbcode'],
        $vbulletin->templatecache['help_bbcodes_link']
    );
}

$bbcode['output'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($bbcode['bbcodeexample'], BBCODE_ENABLED_FORUM);

if (empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list[($bbcode['twoparams'] ? 'option' : 'no_option')][$bbcode['bbcodetag']]))
{
    $vbulletin->templatecache['help_bbcodes_bbcode'] = '';
    $vbulletin->templatecache['help_bbcodes_link'] = '';    
}
else
{
    $vbulletin->templatecache['help_bbcodes_bbcode'] = $full_parse[0];
    $vbulletin->templatecache['help_bbcodes_link'] = $full_parse[1];
} 


To handle default BB-Code perms, plugin at: misc_bbcode_complete

PHP Code:

$show['bbcodebasic'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['no_option']['b'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodecolor'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['option']['color'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodesize'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['option']['size'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodefont'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['option']['font'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodealign'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['no_option']['left'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodelist'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['option']['list'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodeurl'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['option']['url'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodecode'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['no_option']['code'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodephp'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['no_option']['php'])) ? true : false;
$show['bbcodehtml'] = (!empty($bbcode_parser->tag_list['no_option']['html'])) ? true : false;

ah- thanks for explaining that thincom2000! hopefully Abe incorporates this into the mod.

Looking forward to a vb 3.7 version of this, because right now it doesn't seem like there's any other option to disable bbcode per usergroup. I can't believe the devs overlooked that, with the proliferation of IMG spam.

Me too. Not giving us an option for only admins to post HTML poses a huge risk. Should be a no brainer addon.

[anwar.abdullakh]

looking forward to a 3.7 version too.
I have some custom BBcodes that I only want my staff to use, I hope you can find the time abe to release a 3.7 version soon.

[Veo]

I'm need it too.

[Darkstarproject]

I know this isnt made for vb 3.7, but I have installed it and tested it, and it is working just fine on vb 3.7.1. I have custom BB Code as well.
