Hello, after importing from a phpBB forum where I had custom BBCodes I have the problem that they are not changed in actual html.
I would like to know how can I implement such custom bbcodes in my bbpress installation.

I did some tries making a custom plugin with something like this inside (this is just an example):

function bb_table_replace( $text ) {
$text = preg_replace('/\[tabella\](.*?)\[\/tabella\]/ie', "<table>$1</table>", $text);
return $text;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'bb_table_replace');

But I had no luck. It seems however to find my regexp pattern but its replace is wrong, it’s made after the matched pattern (adding to it, instead of replacing).

Any help?

I know this could be tedious, but how about setting up some wordpress shortcodes for the relevant BBCodes?

This could work: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

Good luck!

This should work for you, just swap the bbcode_table with tabella in each case, and the same for your custom tr/td etc 🙂

function ntwb_custom_bbcode_table_replace( $text ) {
 
	$text = preg_replace( '/\[bbcode_table\]/i',      htmlspecialchars_decode( '<table>'  ), $text);
	$text = preg_replace( '/\[\/bbcode_table\]/i',    htmlspecialchars_decode( '</table>' ), $text);
	$text = preg_replace( '/\[bbcode_table_tr\]/i',   htmlspecialchars_decode( '<tr>'     ), $text);
	$text = preg_replace( '/\[\/bbcode_table_tr\]/i', htmlspecialchars_decode( '</tr>'    ), $text);
	$text = preg_replace( '/\[bbcode_table_td\]/i',   htmlspecialchars_decode( '<td>'     ), $text);
	$text = preg_replace( '/\[\/bbcode_table_td\]/i', htmlspecialchars_decode( '</td>'    ), $text);
 
	return $text;
	}
 
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'ntwb_custom_bbcode_table_replace');

The problem is I have some BBcodes with multiple vars like this:
[table3]var1!var2!var3[table3]
transforming in something like this:
<table><tr><td>var1</td><td>var2</td><td>var3</td></tr></table>
I can’t seem to achieve the same thing even if using grouping in regexp with (.*?) and then using $1, $2, $3 to get the texts in between the “!”.

Is this possible Stephen?
