[you] Replacement

[Boofo]

Here it is! The [you] hack ported over to vB 3.7 beta 4.

I have ported this over to vBulletin 3.7 beta 4, but it should work on all 3.7 versions. It now works board-wide (posts and thread titles), in the archive, and also in the quick post in the profile. If there are any areas you find that this doesn't work in, let me know and I will add the code for that area.

Thanks goes out to KirbyDE for making the first version for 3.5 possible. Without him, I'd STILL be trying to figure out the best way to do this for vB 3.5. Thanks, buddy!

Description:
This will replace the [you] variable (board-wide) with the viewing user's username.

Installation:
1 product xml
(No file edits)

Upload the product xml and you're all set!

Enjoy!

NOTE: If you do not click install, you do not need support.

[SwollenCranium]

Say what ?

Where does the [you] variable usual appear and in what context ? I don't think I've encountered it before.

Or if I have , I did not know what I was seeing.

[Boofo]

If you use it in a post is will replace the code with the viewing user's name.

Example:

Boofo says hi to [you].

This would translate to:

Boofo says hi to SwollenCranium. (if you were reading it)
Boofo says hi to Boofo. (if I was reading it)

and so on...

top man and thanks to Bofo big time too.

running on 3.6.8 perfect with that change

[Boofo]

Don?t work in E-Mail notifikation?

I will look into that.

[bazzup]

Thanks for this, could have a right laugh with this lol

[cheat-master30]

I'm probably going to try this.

[bazzup]

I just linked someone to a thread using it and he says it shows my username not his?

[Zelda-King]

Works for me. Does not affect Quick Reply though so if someone who knows the code quick-edits the code shows.

[projectego]

* projectego clicks install :)

[Boofo]

Works for me. Does not affect Quick Reply though so if someone who knows the code quick-edits the code shows.

I purposely left the code show on edit mode so that if you edit a post for another reason, the code doesn't pick up the name of the person who edits if different from the orginal poster. I hope that made sense. ;)

[Zelda-King]

Ah yes. Hadn't thought of that one. :cool:

[cheat-master30]

Well, I tried and it works great. Needs to work in quick reply.

Oh, and at least one person thought it was aimed specifically at them. Which means this could mean a lot of chaotic humour when posting...

[Boofo]

It does work in quick-reply, but with ajax enabled you need to refresh the page to see the translation.

[Boofo]

I just linked someone to a thread using it and he says it shows my username not his?

You must have edited the post and saved it with your username in it. Redo it with the tag and that should fix your problem. ;)

[Audentio]

Thattts nice :D. What about just userid? If you have it so whoevers userid is viewable, this can be used to show peoples avatars, information, anything wherever asked for.

[pxd]

Boofo,

How does [you] translate to guests?

[valdet]

great mod, thanks, installed and working as expected.

The only little bug is that if you edit your post via quick edit, you will see [you] again after saving instead of username. If you refresh the page your username will come back

Tested on vB 3.6.8
Val.

[Boofo]

This is normal as that is how ajax works. But anyone viewing the post will never see the [you]. Trust me, I got that all worked out. ;)

That would only be a bug if ajax was a bug. ;)

[BatMNet]

Thanks for this. It's great and adds a very personalised feel.

[Boofo]

Plus, its a blast to use on April 1st. ;)

And you're very welcome. ;)

[valdet]

in one of my forums i made a thread like
[you], where are you?
and members are posting/reporting like crazy.. :D

In which hook should we add the code so it parses correctly on Chatbox too

Hillarious

[bazzup]

You must have edited the post and saved it with your username in it. Redo it with the tag and that should fix your problem. ;)

Ahh cheers, this is fun my april fool will go something like this


We have been having a lot of complaints lately about a certain member causing trouble for a lot of others I am affraid that this member will have to be removed from our boards and the member in question is [you]

lol prob get myself shot but it will be funny

[valdet]

Hi there,

I would like to know if it is possible to insert some type of conditional in a plugin, so I restrict the [you] plugins only to one thread
Like this
<if condition="$thread[threadid] == xx">
Use my trick
<else />
dont use it
</if>

maybe this needs a PHP conditional in the shape of
if (!$vbulletin->thread['threadid'] AND $vbulletin->thread['xx']) {
plugin code;
}

Any quick help is appreciated.

[Boofo]

Well, yes you can but it really would be better to exclude it from a forum or forums. I was thinking of adding a setting to exclude it for certain forums. Would that work?

[Derek Chai]

Works nice! Works good with atkin marquee.

[futureye]

can we just give it to one group
like admin or mod

[Boofo]

I suppose I could add a setting for usergroups. But what I did is replace the word you with my own special word that only I know. I might do a setting for that, now that you mention it, so you can chose which word you want it to be. That would make this a lot more configurable. Watch for an update soon. ;)

[valdet]

Well, yes you can but it really would be better to exclude it from a forum or forums. I was thinking of adding a setting to exclude it for certain forums. Would that work?

Any of those setting would be good, but personally I prefer an include rather than exclude option if possible. Better have an option to include the forumids where it can be used. Some may have well over 100 forums and its a pain to type each forumid where they dont want it, whiel they could just add their "Off Topic" or "Jokes" forumid and its all good.

Its still your call though

Val.

[Boofo]

I'm not sure how to handle that as most people would use it forum-wide. I have the usergroups and you replacement word settings done for it. I had the exclude forums almost done but now I see I'm going to need to find out which way everyone prefers it. I will wait and see what everyone else wants as far as the forum ids and then we'll go with the majority. How does that sound?

[valdet]

How does that sound? Cool friend, as much as you bring it here i dont mind.

My personal preference was to have an option to limit it within a single thread, but since that seems not possible at the moment, then i guess forumids will work.

Also do you know in which vB hooks connected to this Chatbox product i can insert your plugins so the you hack works here

Does the chatbox use an external file or vbulletin stock files?

[hilfe-forum]

My Users (and i) love your Hack and hate me :D

[valdet]

Does the chatbox use an external file or vbulletin stock files?

Yes it uses some files of its own files: chatbox.php goes to root forum folder and chatbox_admin.php to admin folder

I hope you can make it through. Thanks for your dedication friend.

[Jimandbob]

Causing absolute mayhem :D Thanks for this :up:

[asj]

Thanks for this

[Boofo]

LOL You forgot the install button in here, too. ;)

[Ryan Ashbrook]

Thanks for this Boofo, a lot.

You see, I'm too lazy to do it myself, so I'll just use this. :D

[Boofo]

I know how you feel. I'd rather use someone elses' code than my own. I've seen how I code and it scares me.

[Caddyman]

you all should try and sign up a fake username [you]

you can make some funny replies like "sure at the next meeting im buying the beers" and anyone who views it will show thier name as the poster......funny stuff

i am having slight issue. some people who use it, it just shows their name, to everyone....

That is because they have edited their post and not replaced their name with [you].

[Caddyman]

Dually noted

and very cool it works with the username....lmao

[Boofo]

I have been working on this and have added the ability to change the word to use from the Admin CP, in case this hack gets overused. I am still in search of the e-mail notification fix and will post the update when I have that figured out. ;)

[Jimandbob]

I might do a setting for that, now that you mention it, so you can chose which word you want it to be. That would make this a lot more configurable. Watch for an update soon. ;)

The usergroup setting would be a great addition please.

Once our members work out how to use it there will be even more mayhem on our forums than there already is :p

Thanks again Boofo:up:

[Boofo]

The usergroup or forum ID settings wouldn't really work on this, I have come to see. As anyone can use this, those settings would only make for a lot of empty replacement variables throughout the site. You can't stop anyone from actually typing the code in a post. All you can do is stop certain forums or usergroups from seeing the parsed variable, hence the code will show. What I do is use it only for staff and use a word that only I and the staff know. It saves for a lot of headaches and empty code tags throughout the site. I have added the option to change the word form the Admin CP settings in case someone decides to get annoying with this. Although I haven't found the way to stop the code from showing in the notification e-mails yet. I am working on that in between my site crashes. ;)

You will find that this is a lot of fun to play with in the beginning but can get overused and really annoying if you let the wrong people use it.

[Caddyman]

^^ what he said....lol

thats good i can change the word!!

[Boofo]

^^ what he said....lol

thats good i can change the word!!

It will be once I get the e-mail notification figured out and update the first post. ;)

[valdet]

^^ what he said....lol

thats good i can change the word!!

You can change the word now as well.

Just go to plugins and change the [you] in three of this hacks plugins.

[Boofo]

Sure, but it's not as convenient as a setting.

[vietdjclub]

if you want show username with legend color then just

find Product : You Replacement

then open and replace userinfo['username'] with userinfo['musername']

[valdet]

any updates on the upgrade Boofo. those forumid settings would be a good addition

[Boofo]

The forumid settings won't work for this hack as users will still be able to enter the code. You would just end up with a lot of posts with the [you] showing it in instead of being parsed. That is why I added the vBulletin setting to change the word you choose to use. Just choose a word that only you and the staff would know. Once the user tries to use it and it doesn't work, that will have the same affect as any forumid settings would. There is no way to stop them from using the code in their posts. Changing the word at the Admin level stops any words from being parsed but what you have chosen. Does that make any sense? ;)

Can't wait for April Fools day. :D

[thincom2000]

Does this work correctly with the NOPARSE BB-Code?

I read a few pages back about this... Have you fixed the parsing after the AJAX responses (quick-edit & quick-reply)? Moving the plugins to more specific hooks will fix this (i.e. postbit_display_complete for showthread / archive / external / announcements / PMs, visitor_message_display_complete for Visitor Messages, among others). While moving the locations can result in more plugins, the code will only be executed when it is needed rather than on every page.

[Boofo]

Havew you tested any of that or is that a theory?

[thincom2000]

I have my own mods that had similar issues and were fixed by using a different hook location. Specifically the bug was not parsing after AJAX. I would have listed all the locations you need to include events and such, but I'm sleepy right now.

Your replacement would have to be made on the $var['message'] rather than $output (where $var is the correct name - $post, $message, etc - it would be $eventinfo['event'] for calendars I think)

[Boofo]

Well, get some sleep and please PM me when you are rested as I would like to hear more of your ideas for this. It is in a bad need of updating, anyway. ;)

[malag]

It's possible to run this bbcode in shoutbox?

[cheat-master30]

^Doesn't seem to be, and I've tried it a lot.

Thanks again Boofo:up:

I already have that :D, everyone's using it, so I disabled it.

They saw the code in the RSS.

Is it possible to limit the use to a certain usergroup?

[JackThomson120]

How do you hide the code from the vB Code list?

[ArnyVee]

Does anyone use this for personalized greetings (welcome posts, etc) or standard e-mail responses?

In other words, is it being used for something other than for jokes?

(I'll be using it for jokes as well, but want to use it to my advantage for the good of the forum) :)

I'd like to use this in a PM that can be sent automatically to any new members. How would I do that?

[Boofo]

I use it for welcome posts all the time. Makes them more personalized.

Actually, that is the main reason I wrote this hack. It just started getting used as a jokes hack somewhere along the line.

[oly51]

I use it for a photo voting contest: "[you], have you voted yet?" The number of votes almost doubled in the past week.

[Boofo]

That is a smart idea. Using it like that doesn't bring a lot of attention to it so it doesn't get overused by everyone. That is basically what is was designed for. ;)

[mawby]

This doesn't work if you press the preview button before posting. Your post ends up with the [tag] being changed for your name, then you press post and it looks like it's working but everyone else sees your name not theirs.

[Boofo]

I will look into it.

[Koroku]

I use it to get people's attention - Hey, [you], you need to read this thread... viewing rates skyrocket

[cheat-master30]

I have found a major problem with this... it works in usernames...

So now, I have a member (now banned) who's a mirror of whoever views their posts, profile, PMs, etc.

They also always display last on who's online, and just look weird. Seriously, he has the username of the viewer. I think you need to make the next version not parse usernames, and anyone using this needs to ban the [you] code in usernames...

[Boofo]

First, you need to click install. Second, I have no idea what you just said. Please explain it further.

[cheat-master30]

Just warning that someone found out you can use it in usernames and it'll parse as the viewers username. For example, if someone used it here, you'd see their name as Boofo, while everyone else would see their name as their own name.

[Koroku]

Easy fix - just disallow [you] for usernames. >_>

[Boofo]

Yes, exactly. Problem solved. Thank you, Koroku. ;)

[ramsayeg]

I am trying to use it in SmnLikQuick v2.0 - Advanced Announcements Block (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=172773) mod, in order to welcome my members, but it doesn't seems to work and only shows 'Welcome, [you]!' (It does supports BB tags).

Any chance for a solution?

[Boofo]

The [you] is not an actual bbcode tag. It is a replacement variable. 2 different things. Apparently, that hack uses a different hook than I have set for the replacements.

I have no idea what it does. If someone quotes me in a post, it always says my username anyway. As it is a Quote

Am i looking at this from the wrong angle?

[Boofo]

Have you clicked the install button?

[TimberFloorAu]

Apologies ( Installed )

Still bewildered lol

[Boofo]

Dear Bewildered,

I don't know how else to explain to you what it does. Have you tried using the hack to see what it does?

Abby

[TimberFloorAu]

The only thing I can think is that VBSEO doesnt allow it to display.

Or perhaps you must be in threaded mode.... still dont see what it does.

Can you do a screenie to demonstrate ( someone anyone plz )

[Boofo]

VBSEO doesn't affect it whatsoever. There is no way to do a screen shot as all it does is replace the [you] with the username of whoever is viewing it at the time.

[TimberFloorAu]

viewing?

now you have my inquisitivness aroused..

[Boofo]

Viewing as in the person looking at it.

[TimberFloorAu]

Viewing as in the person looking at it.

Sorry mate.

Reason I am replying to this constantly is your mods/hacks are superb. Hence I want to see what this one does.

If it does something, surely a screenpic is possible.

Perhaps, we have other products that conflict with this.. i really dont know.

[Mutt]

this is my original hack from back in the v2 days. over the years I had added to it. one of the features I had added was to be able to limit it to specific forums via the forum manager.

Enable / Disable Features
Allow HTML
Allow BB Code
Allow [IMG] Code
Allow [YOU] Code

any plans on doing this for your 3.7 version?

also I had added the ability to use things like [YOU-EMAIL], [YOU-ID], & [YOU-IP]. I'd want to re-implement them but I was recently emailed by a user who pointed out that someone could post a scripted image to return the readers you code info. any suggestions on how I could avoid that? i certainly don't want someone lifting my users email address & ip.

thanks

[Boofo]

This is based on that but uses plug-ins now and all new code. ;)

PM me when you have time and we will see what we can come up with. Some of your additions
sound good.

yeah, I'm looking at your code now. it's tiny. very simple. nice

looking at how to do what I want. added the forum option. just gotta make it work with your code. pretty sure i should be able to handle it with a if this script = showthread deal.

thanks

[Boofo]

I don't have it working with the email notification yet. Haven't found the right hook to get it work there. PM me when you get the changes made as I would like to look at it, if possible.

[Mutt]

tweaked it to check my foruminfo setting but I had to add

global $foruminfo;

to your global_complete plugin. how bad is that? do you think it would effect anything negatively?

the way i have it setup not it does your output replacement if the script is showthread or forumdisplay & enable_youcode is on for that forum. I know you have it on all over the place but for me, I want to limit it down to just the 1 joke forum. having it on everywhere would cause complete chaos on my site. :)

[Boofo]

Can you send me what you have when you are finished with it? I want to see how you did it. Did you figure out the email notification?

[M-Tuning]

Is it possible to only allow this for some usegroups?

[saviola8x]

Thanks add on. Nice

[YLP1]

I just wanted to share with you guys on what happened when I installed this on my community forums at about 4pm yesterday.

I started a topic using the variable and as of right now that topic has close to 1200 views and 129 replies. There are members posting in it that rarely post. It's a kick!!

Thank you.

yes members love it at my forum, i made a subforum for its use :P
