Parse BBCode in Custom Profile Fields

Why? Cause I think this should be the norm and others in this thread seem to want it. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101248

Be nice to also have WYSIWYG on the textareas, but that's another hack.

There are 2 versions of this.
The first one, product-parse_bbcode_in_profile_1.1.xml, is for anyone that does not have the MySpace style profile template hack installed. You can find that hack here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101248

The second, product-myspace_style_profile_version.xml, is for users that are using that template hack.

INSTALLATION:
Install the Product and that's it. Will install 1 new plugin. I tested as best I can, but see what happens. Can't provide 100% support, but I will see what I can do.

For non-MySpace profile template users, some options:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optionally remove some code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you only want certain fields, put this code for EACH fieldx u want parsed in member_customfields hook location.

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

If you did this code change for 1.01, u can now remove it as it is not needed for 1.1.
v.1.01 Code Change

in admincp/profilefield.php find

PHP Code:

// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ###################### 


add above that

PHP Code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'profile_admin'); 


end 1.01 code change

How do i parse the bbcode in the box that this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98282& gives you

[lilfields]

I am parsing BB code correctly within the profile, but not within posts (side location field)...as I have a BB URL in the location field linked to vBgooglemap locations

How would I go about making it parse and not just showing the code? I'm not sure if I made this clear enough to understand but I'll post a screenie if needed.

this is very strange, i had installed this properly and everything was working good.. and then all of the sudden it stopped working. nothing is more frustrating then when something is working and stops for no reason =(.

i originally installed this hack, deactivated it, and installed this code so that only one field was working (which worked fine):

PHP Code:

if ($userinfo['field23'])
{
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser))
{
    require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
    $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
}
$userinfo['field23'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['field23'],0, true);
} 


Then, I had made one change to my memberinfo template, and then it stopped working. I un-do'ed the change, resubmitted it, and it still didn't work.

I've also tried allowing bbcode throughout my memberinfo, but still to no avail.

Please advise..

turns out that if you turn of vb sigs, some things act up.. just to note

Where you see:

PHP Code:

parse($userinfo['field23'],0, true 


Change the '0' to a '1'

This mod doesnt seem to work if you have a custom Profile Page. I reverted my template to default, and this mod worked... I added my custom Profile Page setup that was created originally on a vb 3.5 forum and updated and the mod doesnt work. Just thought this might help people having trouble.

It works with my vB 3.6.5, so yes. I'd apply some changes, though:

HTML tags are removed from profile fields by default, so you should allow them while parsing the bbcode, otherwise it gets the double htmlspecialchars-treatment which means that " is turned into " and that " is then turned into ".
Also you'd have to use do_parse() instead of parse() (I don't know if it's the same with vB 3.5, I'm using 3.6):

$profilefield['value'] = $bbcode_parser->do_parse($userinfo["$profilefieldname"], true, true);

so will this mod take care of the quotes = (&quot), & = (&amp) and the many more parsing errors found with the myspace profiles... because I use the alternative parsing method as ppl are posting in here.

Edit: Now that I look above, it seems that this one doesn't fix it either :/
