Wait! I think I have found something on this page... Funny, it's about plants and bees. But, wait...
Ah, yes, here it is.

Replace

Code: Select all

echo $row['post_text'];
with

Code: Select all

echo $bbcode->bbcode_second_pass($row['post_text'], $row['bbcode_uid'], $row['bbcode_bitfield']);
That should work. I havn't tried it and only briefly edited it so if it doesn't work, post the error you get and I'll see if I can help.

Thanks!!

(Even if that doesn't work, I found a longer, slightly more complex way to do it)

Yes, and I found a shorter, slightly simpler way to do it... j/k

Actually it's interesting to note how many different ways a simple piece of code can be programmed, depending on the hands that mold it.
Each programmer seems to have their own unique style... I have yet to find two exactly alike.
Just look at the difference between PsotFX and Meik to see what I mean.

BTW, we finished the little function to pull posts onto an outside page, though it does require a template file, this was the easiest implementation and still retain all the BBCode formatting. (including smileys)

That actually looks like a phpBB2 way of parsing the bbcode... it's parsed a bit differently in phpBB3.
I put a lot of work into figuring out how to parse bbcode, so I wrote a tutorial on it so nobody would have to go through all that.
