Hey everyone,

I'm currently pulling the latest posts from one of my forums directly from the database and putting it on my main site (non-vB).

However, unsurprisingly, there is a bunch of BBCode mixed within the text (the pagetext column of the post table). How can I parse this BBCode to return HTML? Which vB file must I include and which function should I use?

This should be all you need;

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Thanks a lot!

However, when I tried to do that, I get this error message:

Fatal error: Class 'vBulletinHook' not found in /mnt/w0800/d09/s41/b027ae64/www/forums/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 2347

Looking at the code in class_bbcode.php, it seems to abruptly call on a vBulletinHook without ever declaring it. I'm very new to PHP...

What would be the problem here?

You'll need to have this above that code:

Almost seems to work...but still a little error:

$bbcode =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

That line seems to be problematic.

I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in /mnt/w0800/d09/s41/b027ae64/www/forums/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 198

Can someone please give me the last bit of information I need to get this thing working...?

here's a working sample of it that works in the forum installation directory:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

save it as "testparser.php" and simply run it in your forum installation directory as www.yourforum.com/forum/testparser.php

it should print this: "Some text with bbcode in it"

I'm having exactly the same error message :

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /path/class_bbcode.php on line 198

I'm trying to acheive the same thing : parsing bbcodes in posts that i am currently displaying outside the forum (non-vb.)

my code is :

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

no errors displayed since i added the last line

@Augusto : i tried your test successfully.

I am still having a really tough time with pulling this off in 3.6. I continue to get the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in /var/www/newspail3/forums/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 213

from outside the forum directory.

Figured this out.

I had these examples embedded within functions. I don't quite understand why they wouldn't work but I assigned $bbcode when I was inside my forum directory

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I then passed $bbcode into the function and that worked.

I can confirm the last post. This method does not work when part of a function, which is a big problem when integrating into some existing sites.

This works:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This does NOT work:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

The errors I get when I try the second code are:

Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4227

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4227

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in /mypath/includes/functions.php on line 3189

I have plenty of experience in PHP, but I haven't encountered a problem like this before. I really would prefer to not have to hack this together by hard coding the conversion code everywhere I need it. Does anyone have any ideas on why it breaks when within a function?

global.php cannot be included outside of global scope.

Could you explain that a bit more? I'm good with PHP, but never seen this kind of problem before. Does this mean global.php has to be modified to work from functions? Hopefully not, as I suspect it's a big task.

Likely should be another thread, but I also get identical the error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in /mypath/includes/functions.php on line 3189

This error has only started to appear over the last few weeks (with v3.8.3), and I've not made any code changes, nor have I seen this error in the last year or so (I carefully track PHP errors).

Similar to jonbach's function, I use a function to handle creating threads:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This has been working perfectly for quite a while (many vBulletin versions over a year or so), so it's also puzzling why it's worked before and lately generates errors.
