Only with some more information I think. What kind of bug?

[thincom2000]

The shoutbox fix is located somewhere in this thread. Just do a "Search this mod" for "shoutbox"

As for using raw custom profile fields, I know I have done this for some other members, but don't have a copy of the code myself. If they would be generous enough to post the plugin (member_complete) that I wrote for them, it would help some more people.

[nerofix]

Okay I got it,

I've wrote a new plugin in member_start and added following code:

if ($userinfo['fieldX'])
{
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser))
{
    require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
    $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
}
$userinfo['fieldX'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['fieldX'],0, true);
}

( X = number of profile field )

Works great in vB 3.7.3

[thincom2000]

Not exactly the official fix, and I'm not sure if it uses the permissions correctly, but I'm glad you worked out something.

[nerofix]

I'm not a plugin professional, so this plugin might be not perfect that's right. I just thought that you perhaps could build a such or better plugin into your $vbulletin->options['ces_parse_fields'] .

[punjabi.king]

its not working for me, the first bug is fixed as thincom2000 replied about shoutbox

but now im trying to let members embed youtube video
but whatever they enter stays the same intead of embeding... please help

[nerofix]

How do you try to embed the youtube video? With <embed> code or BB-code ?

Did you already checked the CES Parser settings in your vbulletin options? Remember to enter the profile field number of the field you want to be parsed.

[punjabi.king]

^ yeah i checked settings in vbulletion options
i want them to embed it using <embed>

do u have a solution??

[nerofix]

I'd have 2 solutions.

The first is not recommend do to higher security risk, but is your choice:

1.) Check your CES Parser Settings again and in the field "Banned HTML tags" remove the word "embed". Then save.

The problem here is that your users can now embed youtube videos, but also they can embed every other flash-applications which can be a security risk.

The second solution I use, ..

2.) Add new BB-Code:

Go Admin CP -> Custom BB Codes -> Add New BB Code

Title - YouTube
Tag - youtube
Replacement:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Example - [youtube]zvC8GpOL4Lk[/youtube]

Description - Use the movie code from the YouTube URL in your browser.
For example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvC8GpOL4Lk


-----------------------------------------

Now after adding the new BB-Code, just enter [youtube]zvC8GpOL4Lk[/youtube] in your profile field and it should work.
