bbcode with vb variable? stuck

[t c]

PHP Code:

<script language="JavaScript">new TextFade('{param}','verdana,arial,helvetica','2pt',true,false,'#$bbuserinfo[field5]','#{option}');</script> 


I am using a custom bbcode and I wish to grab a custom field from the profile that contains the users custom color.

I have tried what you see above with: $bbuserinfo[field5] , $post[field5] , $profile[field5]

I am officially stuck.

This option is a [fade=XXXXXX]text[/fade] that will fade from basic color to a custom color (XXXXXX).

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

You cant parse varibles inside of bbcode.

Yeah you can as I've done it before but, I forgot. =[

You'd probably need something like:

<script type="text/javascript">var field5 = $bbuserinfo[field5];</script>

in one of your templates that will be included on the page then use field5 in the BB Code instead of $bbuserinfo[field5]

I think it should work, but its untested

No, you cant, not without hacking,

Perhaps I did hack the board then I just don't remember as I removed the test board almost a year ago and never saved things.

Question, where would I have to make the hack for it to work? Just add it in with the bbcode parsing?
