[Boofo]

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?

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

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/httpd/vhosts/biorust.com/subdomains/forums/httpdocs/includes/functions.php on line 4308

Wrong Thread.
Please post a new Thread in vB 3.5 Modification Questions and attach the Code you are using.
These errors mean that the vBulletin Registry Object ($vbulletin) does not have a valid reference for the database object.

Actually... what you just said goes a long way towards solving the problem! Thanks!

Something small I noticed, which is probably more than obvious for those more experienced, although unless I specifically define true or false in the parse line, it will not convert the BBCode.

It will not parse simply by including the variables.

I'm trying to get an index page (www.ultimatemetal.com) to work with the same code I used to have. It worked fine in 3.0.7 . The only issue is the bbcode stuff (which is why I am in this thread ). I exchanged the code I had:

require_once('includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');

with the code at the beginning of this post:

require_once('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 get this same error message with both:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: parse_bbcode() in /home/mahke/public_html/index-test.php on line 32

Line 32 is: $articlelength1 = parse_bbcode($articles['pagetext']);

Am I brainfarting on something here?

thanks kirby!

Maybe this is my issue? Chanzero or anyone else, can you elaborate on how to define this properly?

[Andreas]

Well, the parse_bbcode() call needs to be $parser->do_parse() instead
