Smilies in user titles

[Zzed]

This is a very simple, yet fun hack that I made on my site. It allows the user titles to have smilies in them.

Here is the thread view and the profile view of the hack:
http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=110647
http://www.ls1.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=4112

It is accomplished by adding one line of code to the following files:

forumdisplay.php
member.php
private.php
admin/functions.php

In forumdisplay.php:
Look for the following code:

if ($announcement[customtitle]==2) {
$announcement[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($announcement[usertitle]);
}

And replace it with the following:

if ($announcement[customtitle]==2) {
$announcement[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($announcement[usertitle]);
}
$announcement[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($announcement[usertitle]);


In member.php
Look for the following code:

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("getinfo")."\");");

And replace it with the following:

$userinfo[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($userinfo[usertitle]);
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("getinfo")."\");");


In private.php
Look for the following code:

if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
$post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
}

And replace it with the following:

if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
$post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
}
$post[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($post[usertitle]);


In admin/functions.php
Look for the following code:

if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
$post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
}

And replace it with the following:

if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
$post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
}
$post[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($post[usertitle]);


Enjoy... :)

Nice. I dunno if I'll use it right away (server problems), but nice indeed. ;)

[N9ne]

Is it possible to make it so we can use vBcode in usertitles too? And be able to, through the adminCP disable certain vBcodes from being used?

[Zzed]

Link14716, thank you. You are very kind. :)

Tha Rock, this hack will allow you to use VBcode in the title. ;) To disable certain VBcodes would require additional coding. :(

That's pretty cool. Too bad most admins on my board seem to have an angry attitiude towards smilies. I even had to completely remove them from posts :(.

You have harsh admins! :eek:

[Boofo]

I can't get them to show up. All I see is the code for the smile next to the name. Ok, Zzed, what am I doing wrong this time? :)

Hmm, which file is giving you problem?

Can you Email it/them to me at edwink@seebeyond.com? :)

[Boofo]

I guess I should learn the difference between usertitle and unsername, huh? :) My fault. Duhhh!!! (Sorry about that). But there is the user part that is the same. Does that count? :)

I have 2 additions for you, though. I have the usertitle in the memberlist and on the foumhome. So here is the code I added to those files.

In root/memberlist.php
Look for the following code:

$userinfo[datejoined]=vbdate($dateformat,$userinfo[joindate]);

And add the following AFTER it:

$userinfo[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($userinfo[usertitle]);
$userinfo[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($userinfo[usertitle]);


In root/index.php
Look for the following code:

// get total posts

And add the following ABOVE it:

$bbuserinfo[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($bbuserinfo[usertitle]);
$bbuserinfo[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($bbuserinfo[usertitle]);

Without sounding to stupid.... How do you add the smilies?

Nah, it's just that we've had our share of idiots that just outright abused the smilies.

bonnmac: I'm assuming this uses the same smilies you have installed for posts.

[Boofo]

Go to where you added your smiles in the Admin CP and look at whatever code you used for them and then just add that code wherever you want it to be in your usertitle (i.e. Admin). Most of them are probably generic.

Boofo, I'm glad you got it working. :)

[bonnmac]

Thanks but I must be dummer then I thought.....
I go to my user cp and under edit profile/custom user text/new title.... Then I put in Administrator :bkiss: and I don't get the smilie I just get the code.... What am I doing wrong?

[Zzed]

Please forgive my ignorance. Did you install the hack?

Does your title still show up as the code in thread view, or your profile?

[bonnmac]

You know what.... I'm having a bad day... I'm sorry I had missed one step in the hack.. It is working now... Thanks! It's a great hack!

[Zzed]

Very cool. I'm glad you got it working. :)

And thank you for the kind words. :)

[Neo]

LOL you did this the hard way :p
I can do it with one line of code added.

[Boofo]

And? Let's have it. Please? ;)

wait a min

[Boofo]

Ok, that will work if you only want it in the posts. What about the member.php? And I have the usertitle on my forumhome and use $bbuserinfo[usertitle]. :) And the announcements one was included in the hack, too. ;) Is there a way to include them all in one line of code? Globally? Buddy, friend, pal o' mine? :):)

sure..

in admin/functions.php find


if ($post['receivepm'] and $enablepms==1) {
eval("\$post[pmlink] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_sendpm")."\";");
} else {
$post[pmlink] = "";
}


and place this below it and it should work perfectly.


$post[usertitle] = bbcodeparse($post[usertitle],0,$allowsmilies);

[Neo]

yes yes.. I had it somewhere but since I my server went down I lost alot of code... he should really use the function this way...


$var[usertitle] = bbcodeparse($var[usertitle],0,$allowsmilies);

[Boofo]

Will that handle all of the different user titles and where should we put this, sir? :)

[Neo]

well I am saying hs used this

bbcodeparse($announcement[usertitle]);

I should be changed to the code I used.. it makes it more forum dynamic... but if I get it to work again I will post it

[Boofo]

So, then there really is no way to get all of the different user title variables in one piece of code and do it globally then? It was worth a shot. :)

[welsper]

It works in 2.2.8, if anyone is curious. (Installed!)
