Parse BBCode (in 3.5)

[hellbringer80]

Wow great man, thanks, very useful!

i want to use a script outside of the folder where the forum is installed, but when i include the global.php with "require_once('forum/global.php');" the my script doesn't works anymore..?

Do i need to include anything else which has the reference to the folder or so?

(when i put my script in the forum folder is seems to work fine)

in 3.6 how can I get BBcode and Line Breaks to work properly in the Profile Pages? Especially in Custom Fields?

Two questions.
1. Does this work with 3.7.x?
2. What's the right syntax to make $text the combination of three variables? I have this right now:

if ($post[field11] && $post[field12])
{
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);  

$text = $post[field11].$message.$post[field12];
}

And in the postbit template, I intend to use a conditional to replace $message with $parsed_text if both fields are filled in. However, the message comes up as blank. I checked the source code and came up with just the start of the post div. I'm guessing it's because my syntax is wrong; specifically

$post[field11].$message.$post[field12]

If you want to parse BBCodes somewhere in your hacks/scripts (assuming that global.php is already required):

PHP Code:

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); 


The parameters for method do_parse() are:

• $text = Text to be parsed
• $do_html = Whether to allow HTML or not (Default = false)
• $do_smilies = Whether to parse smilies or not (Default = true)
• $do_bbcode = Whether to parse BB code (Default = true)
• $do_imgcode = Whether to parse the [img] BB code or not, independant of $do_bbcode (Default = true)
• $do_nl2br = Whether to automatically replace new lines with HTML line breaks or not (Default = true)
  This should be set to false if you allow HTML.
• $cachable = Whether the post text is cachable or not (Default = false)

All parameters except $text can be omitted and will use the defaults then.

Thanks, that was what I needed
