Parse BBCode (in 3.5)

[VBCoder]

Can this only be used to go from BBCode --> HTML? Or can it also go from HTML --> BBCode?

[Andreas]

Yes, Class vB_CodeParser can only be userd for BBCode -> HTML.

For limited HTML -> BBCode use convert_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode() in functions_wysiwyg.php

[VBCoder]

Kirby,

Thanks. I've noticed that convert_ can handle &lt and &gt properly, but leaves &quot as &quot - not " . Any ideas?

[Kirk Y]

How can I do this in vB 3.0.7?

[Boofo]

Could this be used to fix the /me problem in quotes for 3.5 RC 1?

Search is my friend.

Thanks for posting this, was looking for a hint and this saved me lots of time.

help for a noob please if i have the following...

PHP Code:

<?php
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./global.php');
require_once('./includes/class_bbcode.php');

// test parse bb
$text = "[url=http://www.mysite.com/reviews.php?id=4661][b]My Review![/b][/url]";

$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$parsed_text = $parser->do_parse($text, $do_html, $do_smilies, $do_bbcode, $do_imgcode, $do_nl2br, $cachable);  

print "parsed text = " . $parsed_text;
?>

if i understand what this code does, i should get back something like this:

parsed text = My Review!

but i just get

[url=http://www.mysite.com/reviews.php?id=4661][b]My Review![/b][/url]

[Ky Kiske]

How do you do this if it's like forum.yoursite.com? And that directory has a password?

i should note that kirby helped me figure this out by pointing out that i did not definie $do_html, $do_smilies, $do_bbcode, $do_imgcode, etc

thanks kirby!

And how do you define them?

I must be missing something because I've yet to get this to work for me . I've got the following and I've tried just about all that I can and nothing is working for me. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it very much.

PHP Code:

        while ($news = $db->fetch_array($getnews))
        {

            $parser =& new vB_BbcodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list(), true);
            $news['pagetext'] = $parser->parse($news['pagetext'], false, false, true, false, true, false);

            eval('$blogbit .= "' . fetch_template('zoom_blogbits') . '";');
        }

Kirby, how would one go about adding this to the FAQ manager?

[CapinPete]

In my case I had to use the following code:

GLOBAL $parser;

I am pretty much a php noob and it took me a good hour to figure this out. I guess its because I declared the parser as an object at the beginning of the script. I am using a function that gets the last 10 posts in a forum and displays it as HTML for use on the homepage. As we all SHOULD know, php requires that you declare a variable "global" if its outside your function.

Well, I've fiddled with all the suggestions here for the last 2 hours and I still can't get anything to work! Here's the errors I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/httpd/vhosts/biorust.com/subdomains/forums/httpdocs/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 181
