XF 2.3 Using BBCode in a template

[JoyFreak]

Is there a way to use BB Code in a template? For example, how inputting a URL in a post outputs the BB Code etc.

Interesting question



That's what Gemini says.

sorry. I am not sure myself.

XF 2.0 Thread 'Parsing BBCode in a template'

Sep 11, 2017

In XF 1.x you could use something like this to parse BBCode in a template:

{xf:helper bbCode, $parser, $someVar.index}

Is there something similar in XF 2.x? I saw some methods digging through classes but didn't see a 1:1 comparison. I'm sure I'm just missing it (really need to learn an IDE instead of using Coda and searching files through the mac OS Finder...). I've got a string that includes BBCode that I want to parse as HTML within the string. I can strip it out, but in this template I want it to actually render as HTML.

XF 2.1 Thread 'bbcode in template'

Jul 12, 2020

I use something like

{{ bb_code($link.description, 'field', $link) }}

it comes back as:

<div class="bbWrapper">$link.description </div>


but i want to add this directly behind the text

                <xf:if is="$link.tags">
                    <xf:foreach loop="$link.tags" value="$tag">
                        #<a href="{{ link('tags', $tag) }}" class="linkTagItem" dir="auto">{$tag.tag}</a>
                    </xf:foreach>
                </xf:if>

and not in a new row. Any idea how to do that?

Result should look like

Or, just use the bbcode in a post, view the page source, then use the HTML in the template.

bbcode is designed for posts to prevent html security related issues.

Use html in a template.

I’m asking because I want to use BBCode in a custom user field within a widget. I’ve noticed that BBCode is good at taking various URLs (like different YouTube video links) and embedding them directly. I’m hoping to achieve similar functionality in the custom user field, allowing embedded content to display in the widget.
