PHPBB Coding change help.

RobRocker

Hello,

When you edit text and make it bold or hit enter and it drops down a line it shows correctly in the forum.

But here is the kicker, I am exporting that data from the actual database and importing it into a .php file on my website.

It is for a profile and I dont want to have to edit everyone on my paintball teams profile so I want to have it so they can change it on the forum and it will update on the website.

So my question is:

How do I edit the bbcode.php and the bbcode.tpl so instead of when you hit the "B" button or hit "Alt-B" it will put HTML " or " Instead of the forum board code.

And then when you hit enter it makes a line break so that it reads on the forum board, I want it to instead of adding the forum board linebreak it adds a " ". Currently I have allowed the html code "br" so I can type in " " into the forum and it makes a linebreak. Not everyone on my paintball team will know how to do that.

So can anyone please help me?

Thanks,
-Robert

I would suggest NOT changing the forum code because then everything you have in the database will not display properly anymore.

Rather, I would use the function that parses the BBcode and changes it to valid HTML markup on the pages with the profiles that you have mentioned.

That script already exists because that is how PhpBB parses and displays the strings correctly in the browser. So now all you have to do is figure out which function it is, then the file that contains it, include it into the page you want, and run the strings through the function as you display it...
