Use BBCode in usertitle

[Dave Strider]

What I would like to do is allow specific usergroups to be able to use BBCode to format their usertitle. Is there a way to do this via plugin?

I guess you could try something like this

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$newUserTitle = $post['usertitle'];
    
//Use [c] for [color], it will save some characters from the usertitle limit.
$newUserTitle = preg_replace('#\[c(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/c\]#','[color\1]\2[/color]',$newUserTitle);
    
$bbcode_parserx = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$newUserTitle = $bbcode_parserx->do_parse($newUserTitle , true, false, true , false, false, false);
    
$post['usertitle'] = $newUserTitle; 


You could use hooks like:
postbit_display_complete
profile_complete
etc...

The hook will change according to the location you want to enable it.

I'm not sure if this is going to work, as I haven't tried but please post your results here after testing.

Sorry for the late reply, been a tab busy these days. As for the code, it does work in threads, however, it doesn't work in profiles. In profiles it will just simply display the code that was entered in the User Control Panel.

Have you created a plugin for each hook?

[Dave Strider]

Yeah, I tried that, and sadly no luck. I even tried replacing $post['usertitle'] with $prepared['usertitle'] since that's what used to call the usertitle in the MEMBERINFO template.

Try adding a new plugin with same code with the hook location: member_complete and fetch_userinfo.

It's supposed to work after this.
Try it.
