Custom Page parsing List BB's problem

[extends]

Have a difficult time parsing List's using the vB_BbCodeParser function

PHP Code:

$parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$customPreText= '[LIST][*]Testing[*]Testing List 2[*][COLOR=#ff0000][B][U]Testing Color[/U][/B][/COLOR] [/LIST]
[CENTER][B][COLOR=#333399]How to Join[/COLOR][/B][/CENTER]';

$customText = $parser->parse($customPreText);

//...Register variables and place in template ... 


The problem is, is that everything works (bold, underline, center etc) except the List.

How do I fix this?

I tried this test program and it seems to work:

<?php

require './global.php';

require_once('includes/class_bbcode.php');
$parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$customPreText= '[list][*]Testing[*]Testing List 2[*][color=#ff0000][b][u]Testing Color[/u][/b][/color][/list][center][b][color=#333399]How to Join[/color][/b][/center]';

$customText = $parser->parse($customPreText);

echo $customText;

What do you do with $customText after it's set?

I don't understand why I'm having such troubles then

I register it

PHP Code:

$templater->register('custommsg', $customText); 


then I display it in the template

PHP Code:

{vb:raw custommsg} 


I even tried to echo it, still does not work.

ugh. Maybe its working, but I just don't get the small bulletins that are suppose to appear.

• <-Like these
• <-one's
• <-here

It formats them to drop down over one another, but no bulletins.

Have you looked to see what the html looks like?

Does it have <ul>...</ul> around it?

I'm thinking it's something to do with CSS (and I'm not really a CSS person). I was playing around with FireBug (it lets you see the CSS and change it to see what happens), and I notice there's a "list-style: disc outside" that comes from the vbulletin.css template, and if I remove it I get no bullets.

Yes i'm pretty sure it's a css problem, maybe you have this code somewhere?

list-style-type: none

[extends]

nvm... I'll have to wait till I go home to try somethings with the CSS

[Scanu]

Oh i just remembered that vbulletin does it by default you can try to wrap you variable (on the template with a div like this

<div id="test">{vb:raw custommsg}</div>

And then add this css code

#test {
list-style-type: circle;
}

[extends]

Thing is, it's not evening indenting to the right or putting the bulletin.

I see nothing in the CSS's using firebug that has list-style-type: none. Only if I dig deep into the HTML (that I believe does not effect it) do I see that command.

I also tired Scanu's css solution to no prevail. Though all that would do is change that to a bulletin, which didn't work. Even when I tried to force it on firebug.

Something in the {vb:raw headinclude} is preventing me from using these bulletins. When removed it works as intended. But of course it messes up my display.
