Parse BBCode in Custom Profile Fields

[ImportPassion]

Why? Cause I think this should be the norm and others in this thread seem to want it. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/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 http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/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.
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=856284&postcount=18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you only want certain fields, put this code for EACH fieldx u want parsed in member_customfields hook location.
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=856285&postcount=19

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

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



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

add above that

[Kihon Kata]

w00t! im first. pee pee now

[ImportPassion]

seems there is a small bug when u go to the profile fields manager. Looking into it.

[ImportPassion]

Updated the XML and added a code change, for now. Will try to get away from that in next release.

[msimplay]

Can you make this too ? :D

[ImportPassion]

ya, i may look into it.

[Kihon Kata]

w00t! im first. pee pee now

This is strange. I installed it and used things like [ b] and [ /b], but then when I 'rededit' the usercp, it sets them to <b> and </b>

What is thatall about?

[msimplay]

Yeah i'm getting the same too the bbcode is not getting converted back to bbcode instead its being left as html

[Kihon Kata]

Bump? Is someone going to fix the problem?

[ImportPassion]

sorry. was building new puter and had no access.

anyway, I will check it out.

uninstalled it because of that bug.

is there anyway to whip up a background bbcode?

If anyone needs this for custom profile fields just add a plugin with the following content :
hook location : member_complete

Is this correct?

[ImportPassion]

you have to add a plugin for each field. thats kinda nasty if you have like 20+

[ImportPassion]

Ok, I updated the Plugin. It is all rewritten and in a different hook location.

[Kihon Kata]

But what if I only want it to work for ONE field?

[ImportPassion]

i u want to, u can remove this section from the plugin as it seems it is not necessary. But won't hurt or slow down if you keep it in there.

@TonysDesigns: I updated the code above

[Kihon Kata]

@TonysDesigns: I updated the code above

Well first of all, I updated the product to 1.1 and that didn't work for me.

I mean, [ b ]testing....[ /b ](spaces removed) is bbcode right? If so, it's not working for me

Also do I add this hook also?

if($profilefieldname == "field1")
{
$profilefield['value'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo["$profilefieldname"],0, true);
}

I tried with and without the hook added. Can you help me to get this to work?

PS: You need to update the <version>1.0</version> to <version>1.1</version> in the XML.

Yes it is true. Can you paste your html code so let me check that.

You can add multiple field names in same plugin :) But yes your code is also another solution

I fixed the version. thx.

ok, so, if u ONLY want the ONE field, then edit the plugin remove the existing code and paste the new code I posted for you above. I did not try the one I made for you, but it should work. But I know the Product I created is working fine.

EDIT: Make sure you replce "field1" with the appropriate field number you are using. I believe it was field2.

so if I just add the product and do NO other modification, it will allow bbcode in all fields?

Would it make a dirfference if I have added this mod here? http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=101248

Cuz I did.

[ImportPassion]

Correct

No difference at all since that is not a code mode, just template mod.

[Kihon Kata]

Yes it is true. Can you paste your html code so let me check that.

Lizard, which HTML code? To you mean the HTML in the member profile template?

Correct

7th: all I have installed is this product and when I add bbcode, it doesn't work. :/
I tried to add [ b ] testing [ /b ] and no workie

Lizard: Not yet, I am trying to get it to work like it's supposed to first. Should I?

[Lizard King]

Yes you need to add for each field. Check this one which i have in profile (http://www.ayyas.com/member.php?u=4)

As you can see you have to add the same parser for each field.

Ohhh ok, let me try that.

[Exitilus]

Ok I'm a bit confused. I was looking for this. Well I installed the plugin ... But it doesn't work :wataf .. looked through and I don't see any other configuration or setup needed to get this working. So am I missing something?

[ImportPassion]

well, it's a product, not just a plugin. although it adds the plugin, and yes, that is all that is needed since all it is is one line of code. Ignore all the stuff from Lizard, my thread got jacked. It does work as it is working on mine. Make sure the hook location is member_customfields.

I registered on your forum and went and edited my profile and then looked at my profile, but it says I don't have permission. Also, all your debug code is showing.

EDIT: Do you have any other plugins using the same hook location? member_customfields

[ImportPassion]

Just an FYI for Lizard and Tony, u don't need to put this line for each one...

it's a huge waste. Put it once at the top and that's it, done. if you even need it at all, cause my Product doesn't.

I verified it is member_customfields.

I edited my message above, but do you have any other plugins using the same hook location?

[ImportPassion]

would u mind giving me admin access to check it out? I went as far as to remove mine and install the one here and it still works for me.

[Exitilus]

We have a plugin thing that puts all the plugins / products together. Just looked through a couple times and I don't see anything using that specific field

[Boofo]

Will this work on 3.5 RC 3?

[ImportPassion]

no idea, won't hurt to try as long as that hook location exists. But surely no one is still using an RC release?

[ImportPassion]

i just tried it on my other forum 3.5.1 and it worked again no problem.

[Exitilus]

Hrmm Odd ... I dunno why it won't work :|

Maybe try re-adding it?

[ImportPassion]

uninstall first. take a screen of the plugin page if u can so i can see it.

[MissKalunji]

can someone show me what this does?

thanks

[Lizard King]

It allows you to use bbcode in custom user profiles.

i dont use this hack but check in http://www.ayyas.com/member.php?u=4 there are bbcodes inside custom profile fields. this hack makes the same thing.

:-/ ok thx

[evenmonkeys]

It doesn't seem to be working for me. Are there settings I need to adjust?

[ImportPassion]

if u r using the Myspace Style Profile template hack, then it doesn't work since the vars are being spit out differently. I am working on that now.

[evenmonkeys]

Ohhhh. I just modified the template. I didn't upload plug-ins or anything. It's all just template changes. I assume that's still different. Also... is it possible to allow for certain fields to be parsed and certain fields not to be parsed? Like... add an option to "Add New Field" and have it say "Allow" or "Not Allow"... Just a suggestion.

[ImportPassion]

maybe at some point, just want to get it working with that template mod first.

[Kihon Kata]

maybe at some point, just want to get it working with that template mod first.

Yes you have. I wanted to popin and PERSONALLY thank you very much for doing this AND taking the time to fix my site with over 225,000 posts.

Thanks again for taking the time Derek!

[KBV]

Great mod. Anyone have any idea why it turns < and > into &lt; and &gt;

[MissKalunji]

You know what woudl be cool..........having the bbcode bar (like in threads) to show also not everyone knows the bbcodes by heart

[EricaJoy]

You know what woudl be cool..........having the bbcode bar (like in threads) to show also not everyone knows the bbcodes by heartor maybe a link to bring up a pop up box with the bbcode info in it?

[MissKalunji]

or maybe a link to bring up a pop up box with the bbcode info in it?

yeah would be good too

[99SIVTEC]

I can't for the life of me get this to work. Tried adding the code manually, tried the code posted earlier in the thread, and tried the plugins. I have nothing else around the hook location, and no other plugins using that hook location.

[Exitilus]

Aww that explains why it wasn't working with me. I have that updated profile thing installed :) I will keep a very close eye on this! i'm really hoping to see this working soon!!!

[Exitilus]

haha nm noticed my e-mail and when i checked the thread it has been updated. I will give it a try! :)

[Exitilus]

Works beautiful!

[Annie^.^]

Great Job!!

[wolfstream]

Only problem I see with this (so far):
This is parsing the fields just dandy in the profile itself, but when it comes to postbit, I see:

Location: color=blueWaterloo, IA/color

instead of

Location: Waterloo, IA


Any idea what I'm missing there? (yes, I deliberately took the tags out of the first color bit to prevent it from showing up as an actual color.

[Sychev_S]

or maybe a link to bring up a pop up box with the bbcode info in it?
:squareeyed: that would be awesome

[msimplay]

hmm problem again quotes are turning from " to &quot;

[ImportPassion]

ya, i posted about that on vb.com, but no reply. not sure why that is happening.

[Oreamnos]

First of all, i installed the plugin and it worked beautifully on 3.5.2.

i have 2 questions:

What can I change so that it automatically turns any URL into a link? I don't want users to have to use BBCode.
Any luck with the quotes issue?


Thanks!

eric

[MissKalunji]

Okay how can i exclude a field?


example i want all the field to have bbcode but the css field....


how can i do that?

[ImportPassion]

u could do something like this

[MThornback]

Would you be willing to change this so that it parses signatures? Namely Admin Signatures.... :) my attempts at it are failig miserably and angering my includes folder :p

I don't get it? Sigs already get parsed when you use bbcode in them. I believe it may be an option you have to turn on tho.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=81895

This hack parsed certian BB like: $bbuserinfo[username] : Username of the visitor

Its never been ported...and judging by your code, it looks like a stones throw from what would be needed to port it....I was just wondering if you'd modify your code to make it similar to what we had available to 3.0.7?

[trackpads]

Is there any way to make this work for fields in the postbit?

Thanks!

[Detomah]

I don't think I am doing anything wrong, the code works fine and I now have bbcode working fine in my profile fields, so that's a good start...

However...

Is it just me or do [ quote] [ code] [ html] type tags muck the tables up for anyone else?

If it's not just me, would there be any way to make it so that only certain bbcodes function in profile fields?

I'm new to this, so if I sound dumb please forgive me. I've learned quite a bit though running my Forum.
All I need to know right now is a more detailed instructions to install this plug-in. Do I upload to my includes/xml folder??

I'm using *default* style to work with this, and so far I have everything set for Profile Page improvements except this.

[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):



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



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

How would I get it to parse [img] tags as well?

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.

This hack work with vB 3.6.x ?

This hack work with vB 3.6.x ?

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

hmm problem again quotes are turning from " to &quot;

ya, i posted about that on vb.com, but no reply. not sure why that is happening.

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 &quot; and that &quot; is then turned into &amp;quot;.
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):

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 :/

Dear keth, im getting crazy!

(i moved the post to an area that seems more "correct" than this)

[RCWong]

If anyone has a problem this might help them. I fixed upon a bit the code that gen.Scorpio posted. Everything seems to work. From what he posted, when he saw a post of someone with the field filled, it didnt parse the bb code they had in their post. But as I tested it out the fixed up code, everything seems to be fine, no errors. If anyone can improve upon it, go right ahead. Tested on 3.6.8. All you need to do is change the field8 to whatever field you set.

Here is the code.

Pretty much, all I did was change the last bit of code from $userinfo['field5'] to $profilefield[value] and ($userinfo['field5',true, true); to ($profilefield[value],true, true);.

In case anyone has been having problems with the other fixes and versions of this...

I've got 3.6.8 installed and the profile pages are pretty heavily customised and none of the above fixes worked properly for me, so in the end I tinkered around with the various bits until I came up with this one which works perfectly for me, so I thought i'd share it in case it could be of use to anyone else:

Just replace the entire contents of the product file with this code, changing the 3 instances of field5 for which ever field you want to parse bbcode in and then do the normal install.

What do we do if we want to do more than one profile filed?

[Detomah]

Gah, I had this working perfectly before updating from 3.6.8 to 3.7 Gold a couple of days ago, now it's stopped working at all.

Anybody have any idea what bits in the code have changed that would mean this doesn't work any more? I dearly need this to work again.

I've tried the CES parser permissions hack which is out there, but that is way too much for what I need and stops more working for me than is practical.

If any pro coders out there have any ideas on this one please help me out, i'm well and trully stuck.

[Cerbero1000]

Is there a way to have it on vbulletin 3.7?
I think that will be more attractive for members to have images or slideshow in their details...
Thanks

[resident1]

I need this mod to work too! any coders out there know how to put the WYSIWYG editor and BBCODE into profile fields?

[BlackxRam]

anyone who can get this working?
