Parse bbCode direct from the database.

[Dygear]

The front page of a website I am working on happens to update it's self from a forum post. These post can contain bbCode, and I would like to know how to parse the vBBBcode with out having to make my own parser. Seeing as the one in vB is updated, and there is no real reason why I should not be able to just include built in parser and go.


Minus all of the errors of course.

Fatal error: Class 'vBulletinHook' not found in C:\wamp\www\wlvac\forum\includes\class_bbcode.php on line 2405

I've included only the class_bbcode.php file, and the file that is calling it looks like this.

    require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../forum/includes/class_bbcode.php');
    $vB = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 

So, is there a standalone vBBBCode parser? Instead of having to jump through all of these hoops?

Did you take a look at this? It explains everything.

You forgot the & in front of the new, you also should include the global.php file.
This code worked fine for me:

include('./global.php');
$text='[b]hello[/b] world';
require_once(getcwd().'/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$content = $parser->do_parse($text); 
echo $content; 

Output:

hello world

Thank you.

Sorry for the bump, I just wanted to post a definitive answer to this question as it seems to keep on coming up.

<?php

    # Defines the CWD Varable - Modify this varable to point to the forum root.
    define('CWD', getcwd() . '/forum');
    # Loads global varables and required files. (Gives us access to $vbulletin);
    include(CWD . '/global.php');
    # Loads the vB_BbcodeParser class and the fetch_tag_list function.
    require_once(CWD . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
    # Creats the BBCode Parser, $vbulletin comes from init.php on line 49, fetch_tag_list() comes from 
    $vBBCode =& new vB_BbcodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
    # Echos out the parsed (HTML) version of the BBCode below.
    echo $vBBCode->do_parse('[b]BBCode[/b] [i]Parsed[/i] [u]Text[/u]');
