external php parse bb code

[nhatrang]

Hi guys,

currently, I'm writing sql queries to bring out pagetext from postid's... However, it has bb code in it... How can I parse bb code with an external php file?

Any kind of help would be appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance.

Look for the tutorial "Adding Editor". You can take out the part where it parses the BB Code.

where is the tutorial located? here? or vbulletin.com?

If you searched here anyway, you'd find it. I dug it out for you since I'd waste more time if I had to keep coming back.

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$message = $parser->do_parse($message, false, true, true, true, true, false);

Thank so much! Can I give you a thank you hug?

weird, this is what I got in return:

Fatal error: Class 'vBulletinHook' not found

Have you included the backend (global.php)?

[nhatrang]

sorry, I didn't know I was supposed to... You know, i find it very tough to include these files when the php files is in a whole seperate directory... what is your recommendation on doing this when your vb directory is is /news and your php files are in /files...

after adding global.php to the mix, I get init.php requirements, but that is configured inside global.php...

You need to chdir() to the forum directory, require the files, then chdir() back to the current one.

is there anyway we can specify the bbcode to a set attachment/image width to display? in the forum it can display as big as it want, but with external pages, we can limit it to 400px?
