I guess so. But I fixed a lot of things that was released in the vb3.6 version.

Nevermind. I thought I found a bug, but really I just forgot to rebuild the bbcodecache.

Took all day, but just figured out how to install custom bb-codes via products and give them their own class_bbcode handler functions, utilizing this hack for permissions, without making any file edits. ^_^

Is there a reason why [highlight], [img], [quote], [noparse], [sigpic], and [attach] aren't included in the Advanced Permissions area?

I'm pretty sure you can still do these, you just may need to use the hook bbcode_parse_start instead.

I just realized this when I started viewing the forum as a guest. This hack is written so that if the logged in user doesn't have permission then they can't VIEW those BB-codes parsed. However, they can still include them in posts themselves, and users who do have permission to use them, will then see the parsed code posted by the disallowed users.

I see this as a big security risk depending on the BB-Code in question.

I developed a fix for this, so that vBulletin standard BB-Codes also work correctly. Will post later tonight, I have to run right now.

Please use the vb3.6 for support. I dont even remember how this one runs. I totally re-wrote the hack for vb3.6

In other words, add bcmath flag to gentoo's make.conf and recompile php?
