Please help. Need to parse bbcode in a user profile field and pass it to a template.

I posted a few days ago about this, but a member told me about user profile fields. Very helpful. I've managed to get the profile field to show in the template that I want (member info), however, when I add BBcode or html to the profile field, vbulletin just shows the code in the browser and doesn't parse it.

I know the dangers of html in vbulletin. I'm just trying things to see what works and what doesn't.

So what I need to do is this... I need to be able to show my profile field in the template but have it be parsed. I figure a plugin is needed, but I can't seem to get the code to work. I've read mod about parsing bbcode.

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$parsed_text = $parser->do_parse($text, $do_html, $do_smilies, $do_bbcode, $do_imgcode, $do_nl2br, $cachable);

I just don't really know where that needs to go for the variable to get "back" to the template. I figure there is an eval() that needs to be there.

I know the template, plugin, and vbulletin "all become one" after the server works, but I can't grasp the concept well.

Please help.
