Is there a way to convert a phpbb hack to a vB hack? phpbb has a hack that if you use [ nfo] bbcode, it'll take the info and auto-parse it to a png like you see on nforce.

The problem is, I don't know nearly enough about php to do the conversion and I'm hoping someone else does! :D

Here is the code for the phpBB hack:

PHP Code:

  # 

#-----[ OPEN ]--------------------------------------------- 

# 

includes/bbcode.php 

 
# 

#-----[ FIND ]--------------------------------------------- 

# 

   // [code] and [/code] for posting code (HTML, PHP, C etc etc) in your posts. 

   $text = bbencode_second_pass_code($text, $uid, $bbcode_tpl); 

 
# 

#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]-------------------------------------- 

# 

   // [NFO] and [/NFO] 

   $text = bbencode_second_pass_nfo($text, $uid, $bbcode_tpl);

# 

   // [code] and [/code] for posting code (HTML, PHP, C etc etc) in your posts. 

   $text = bbencode_first_pass_pda($text, $uid, '[code]', '[/code]', '', true, ''); 

# 

#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]-------------------------------------- 

# 

   // [NFO] and [/NFO] 

   $text = bbencode_first_pass_pda($text, $uid, '[nfo]', '[/nfo]', '', true, ''); 

 
# 

#-----[ FIND ]--------------------------------------------- 

# 

   // Now, do all the non-first-level matches. These are simple. 

   $text = str_replace("[code:$uid]", $code_start_html, $text); 

   $text = str_replace("[/code:$uid]", $code_end_html, $text); 

 
   return $text; 

 
} // bbencode_second_pass_code() 

 
# 

#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]-------------------------------------- 

# 

function bbencode_second_pass_nfo($text, $uid, $bbcode_tpl) 

{ 

   global $lang; 

 
   $code_start_html = $bbcode_tpl['nfo_open']; 

   $code_end_html =  $bbcode_tpl['nfo_close']; 

 
   $match_count = preg_match_all("#\[nfo:1:$uid\](.*?)\[/nfo:1:$uid\]#si", $text, $matches); 

 
   for ($i = 0; $i < $match_count; $i++) 

   { 

      $before_replace = $matches[1][$i]; 

      $after_replace = $matches[1][$i]; 

      $after_replace = str_replace("  ", "  ", $after_replace); 

      $after_replace = str_replace("  ", "  ", $after_replace); 

      $after_replace = str_replace("\t", "   ", $after_replace); 

      $str_to_match = "[nfo:1:$uid]" . $before_replace . "[/nfo:1:$uid]"; 

      $replacement = $code_start_html; 

      $replacement .= $after_replace; 

      $replacement .= $code_end_html; 

      $text = str_replace($str_to_match, $replacement, $text); 

   } 

 
   $text = str_replace("[nfo:$uid]", $code_start_html, $text); 

   $text = str_replace("[/nfo:$uid]", $code_end_html, $text);

And, here is a phpclass to change ASCII to PNG:
/http://php.emaginedev.biz/browse/package/1618.html

If this can be done, that'd be fantastic... No more boring posts of crappy text! It'd be like damn.nfo viewers installed with vB! :D

Thanks and looking forward to seeing if this can be done.

*Repec* · 07-19-2004, 07:56 PM

this is an nfo in terminal font, imo it looks way better then the stuff nforce has for example.

And besides why add 20 million lines of code extra if u can do it with 2 lines of code

Looks good repec..or should i say Mr 2 <br/> :D

Anyways, what repec said was true, the code it would take would be a performance hit and i personally think the terminal version is nicer..and its also easier to copy because it isnt an image!
