Automatically translate vBulletin BBcode to phpBB BBcode

Post by Big Mac »

I use a number of different forums, some of which use phpBB and some of which are "less enlightened".

I will often quote a post made on another forum onto phpBB and find there is a small clash with something like the URL tag working slightly differently.

Would it be possible for there to be some sort of find and replace option that automatically replaces things like

Code: Select all

[url="https://www.phpbb.com/"]phpBB[/url]
with

Code: Select all

[url=https://www.phpbb.com/]phpBB[/url]

This is basically working now, since the new BBCode engine also recognizes the VBulletin format.
