Help Needed With BBCode parsing

[Mark.B]

I have a plugin set up to read shouts from an external shoutbox (MkPortal as it happens).

$getthreads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
   SELECT mkp_urlobox.*,mkp_urlobox.id AS id, mkp_urlobox.idaut AS idaut, mkp_urlobox.message AS message, user.username AS username
   	FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mkp_urlobox AS mkp_urlobox
   	LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(mkp_urlobox.idaut = user.userid)
   	ORDER BY id
	DESC LIMIT 15
   ");

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');  
$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
    while($shout = $db->fetch_array($getthreads)) {

$userid = $shout['idaut'];
        $name = $shout['username'];
	 $message = $parser->do_parse($shout['message'], false, true, true, true, true, false);  



        eval('$shoutbox .= "' . fetch_template('shoutbox_bit') . '";');

    }

This works HERE, however it is not parsing any BBCode used in the shouts.

I thought I had included the relevant functions in the code, but obviously not.

I am almost there, can someone nudge me in the right direction? (I have spent most of the day on this so far!)
