display username in title

[Tofer]

there are a couple forums i am a member of that when you type some bb code in the thread title, i think its "(username)", it will display whoever reading the new posts as their name in the title... i've searched here and cant find anything on the hack.

example's would be:

hey (username) did you sign up for __________

Poll: should we ban (username)? (as a joke :D)

etc

Search for the /me modification.

[Tofer]

"The search term you specified (/me) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.

If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific."

any suggestions?

You can also search using Google: "site:vbulletin.org /me".

thats not the code i'm looking for.

"/me" looks like it will display MY username. i want to display YOUR username.

for example: I create a thread titled "hey (username) did you sign up for the event this weekend?

when user "Johnny" hits new posts he will see a thread "Hey Johnny did you sign up for the event this weekend?"
when user "Sally" hit new posts She will see a thread "hey Sally did you sign up for the event this weekend?"

and their username will show up in the body of the post whenever there is "(username)"

I've searched google for /you mod under several keywords and cant find anything... any suggestions?

[Brandon Sheley]

it was a mod by Bofo that's in the graveyard now
that's the only /you mod that I know of

Found the one by BoFo but as you said, it was dead. Simple mod or too complicated to remake?

[Tofer]

it doesn't seem that it would be that hard, i just cant code to save my life. i tied modifying the "/me" code but it didnt work.

ok found the boofo mod as well... this is exactly what i'm looking for. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=169166

anyway to make this live again?

[Goliath27]

I know the guy who made it, he has a auto forum that I first seen it on. I thought it was Halarious.

Wish he would check his new PM lol

I have the [you] mod on my forum.

If I'm allowed I could download it and attach here? I'll need the go-ahead from a staff member or Boofo before I'll upload it.

[Goliath27]

You need the go ahead from the original author. vB.org does not hold any copyright over any modifications released here.

if you make an xml file using the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<plugins>
<plugin active="1">
<title><![CDATA[[you]]]></title>
<hookname>global_complete</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[$output = str_replace('[you]', $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $output);]]></phpcode>
</plugin>
</plugins>


then upload as a plugin, it works perfectly.
