/me code Version 3

[Erwin]

Updated version 2.00 thanks to buro9!

Updated version 3.00 thanks to Edgewize!

New in version 3.00:
Correct parsing in quotes, private messages etc.

Okay, this is the famous /me code first created by Chen. All credits go to him. I'm just putting up instructions on how to do this in vB3. It's very easy.

Typing "/me is great!" gives you this:

* Erwin is great!


You make changes to THREE php files only.

1. Copy this piece of code:

Change "red" to whatever color you want.


// /me hack
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'newreply' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$postinfo['username'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (THIS_SCRIPT == 'private' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$pm['fromusername'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && is_array($GLOBALS['post']))
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['post']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && $GLOBALS['previewpost'])
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['bbuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && isset($GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']))
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
// /me hack


2. Open functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:


} // end smilies


PASTE code copied BELOW.

3. Open newreply.php

Find:

In 3.0.6 or less:

$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext));


In 3.0.7:

$pagetext = trim(htmlspecialchars_uni($pagetext));


PASTE code copied BELOW.

4. Lastly, open private.php

Find:


$pagetext = trim($pagetext);


PASTE code copied BELOW.

Done! ;)

LMAO.
One question, is this supposed to work with quoted post?


http://www.neocorteqz.com/images/metest.png

[Erwin]

Yes it should. Did you do step 2? This hack only has problems when you try to edit a post with /me in it - then it stuffs up.

[TheAnt]

/me bows to Erwin in reverence

[neocorteqz]

Yes it should. Did you do step 2? This hack only has problems when you try to edit a post with /me in it - then it stuffs up.


Yep, unless there is more than one spot that code is in..


$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext));
// /me Hack
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^/me(.*)$#im', "* $originalposter\\1", $pagetext);
// /me Hack
eval('$newpost[\'message\'] = "' . fetch_template('newpost_quote', 1, 0) . '";');

// fetch the quoted post title




edit: It works when the "/me" code is placed before the quote tags.

And to clarify, this is the only hack i am using. :)

[FleaBag]

A classic in my opinion - even though I seem to be the only person using it on my site. Thanks for the effort Erwin.

[xxskullxx]

I've heard of Erwin being nice but I know for sure he ain't easy! ;)

* xxskullxx thinks Boofo read too much into that comment

[BillaBongUSA]

$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext));
// /me Hack
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^/me(.*)$#im', "* $originalposter\\1", $pagetext);
// /me Hack
eval('$newpost[\'message\'] = "' . fetch_template('newpost_quote', 1, 0) . '";');

// fetch the quoted post title

Yeah, it only seems to work for me when /me is on the first line of my post.

[Cassidy]

/me clicked install to!

Great hack XD my members are all IRC addicts so they'll love this!

[Xanthine]

Yep works fine, just isnt quotable

[Koutaru]

* Koutaru testing before quote

* Koutaru testing if hack works in quotes
Just testing ;) ... :p I guess not!

* Koutaru testing after quote

never mind then! Actually, if you put /me in quotes when it hasn't already been said (already been converted in the original post) then it doesn't work. Then again.. I guess it's not supposed to anyway :p

Testing...

[shorty]

Did you fix it Erwin :D

[Boofo]

Erwin, will this work in pms now, too, sir?

[Link14716]

It works anywhere BBCode is used by the looks of it.

[Boofo]

It works anywhere BBCode is used by the looks of it.
The vB2 version didn't unless you put it in the private.php file, too. ;)

[Erwin]

Erwin, will this work in pms now, too, sir?
Yes, but when you reply with a quote, it does not work properly. :) This has been an issue since vB2.

[Repec]

* Repec clicks install

I just love this irc addition :D

[Boofo]

Yes, but when you reply with a quote, it does not work properly. :) This has been an issue since vB2.
They did come out with a fix for that in vB2. I have it here if it would help at all. And they also had to do some code in the private.php to get it to work in pms. ;)

[Convergys]

Yeah, it only seems to work for me when /me is on the first line of my post.
I am having the same problem....

[BBQ]

* BBQ clicks install :D
i don't care if it works in quotes, peepz quote too much anyway, mostly useless

and it's supposed to be used when you start a new line! it's the goold old IRC action command simulated in vbb.

[Erwin]

The /me has to be at the start of a separate line. Is this what you mean?

/me tests...

[gmarik]

simple, yet good.
any changes from vb2?

[eXtremeTim]

This hack does not work when you edit a post you lose the username when using the wysiwyg message editor. You end up with * your text here.

[BillaBongUSA]

Let's see...

/me enjoys Pinnacle, whatever the hell that is

[BillaBongUSA]

Ah, I think it only doesn't work when using the WYSIWYG editor unless it's on the very first line of your post. It works fine when used on the standard editors, though.

[Erwin]

Let me try...

/me testing...

[Erwin]

Weird...

[eXtremeTim]

No edit a post with the wysiwyg message mode and it will lose the username

watch.

Hmm it works here. :-/

But on my site is i edit a post thats using /me text here you end up with * text here on the edit page not * eXtremeTim text here or * Username text here

* eXtremeTim is testing the editing on vb.org of /me

[Convergys]

Lets see if this does the same thing here as test forum...

/me is cool

[Gio Takahashi]

I installed this. works like a charm. goodjob.

Hmmm it seems kinda buggy...

The vB2 version did work when quoted after a while - Someone fixed it, but I can't remember who...

Thank you sir.

Btw. How do i go about customizing the color of this for each sty;e? it doesn't look too good in one of my styles.

[SnowBot]

Thank you sir.

Btw. How do i go about customizing the color of this for each sty;e? it doesn't look too good in one of my styles.ok to change the colors do

1. Open includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php:
FIND
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"red\">* $post[username] \\1</font (file:///1</font)>", $bbcode);

Part Where You Change The colour
"<font color=\"color_YOU_WANT\">*

EXAMPLE change to yellow
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"yellow\">* $post[username] \\1</font (file:///1</font)>", $bbcode);

2. Open newreply.php:
FIND
// CF Hack
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^/me(.*)$#im', "* $originalposter\\1", $pagetext);
// CF Hack

Part Where You Change The colour
"*

EXAMPLE change to yellow
// CF Hack
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^/me(.*)$#im', "[color=\"yellow\"]* $originalposter\\1", $pagetext);
// CF Hack

Hope this helps

[FlyingDutchman]

if you want custom color for each style you could do this:

these are alternate instructions, use these INSTEAD of erwin's, NOT BOTH :)


1. Open includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:
$bbcode = str_replace(array('&gt;|||)', '&lt;|||)', '&quot;|||)'), array('&gt;)', '&lt;)','&quot;)'), $bbcode);
} // end smilies

UNDERNEATH, ADD:

// /me Hack
global $post;
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "* $post[username] \\1", $bbcode);
// /me Hack



2. Open newreply.php:

Find:

$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext));


UNDERNEATH, ADD:

// /me Hack
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^/me(.*)$#im', "* $originalposter\\1", $pagetext);
// /me Hack

3. Go to your admin CP and add 2 new replacement variables use [ instead of ( and ] instead of ):

Search for Text: (high)
Replace with Text: <font color="red">
(change the 'red' to some other color if it doesn't fit with your style)

Search for Text: (/high)
Replace with Text: </font>

You'll have to do step 3 for every style you have...

[FlyingDutchman]

oh, and

* FlyingDutchman clicks install :)

nice hack, too bad quoting and editing doesn't work properly :|

[Natch]

Thanks for this - I was just wondering if there's any reason why it doesn't translate properly across to the shoutbox from vBIndex RC3build7 ... I know that isn't your hack, but I thought it used the same functions ...

regardless ...

/me clicks install gratefully

[fly]

Hmmmm....

Either I'm an idiot or this doesn't work w/ RC3. I can't even find the respective lines in functions_bbcodeparse.php to edit.

[xxskullxx]

It works fine with RC3, the code you hunt for has changed a little. Instead of looking for $bbcode = str_replace(array('&gt;|||)', '&lt;|||)', '"|||)'), array('&gt;)', '&lt;)','")'), $bbcode);
} // end smilies in functions_bbcodeparse.php, look for $bbcode = str_replace(array('&gt;|||)', '&lt;|||)', '&quot;|||)'), array('&gt;)', '&lt;)','&quot;)'), $bbcode);
} // end smilies instead. The php code function on here chops it up a bit.

[Erwin]

I haven't had time to upgrade to RC3 yet. :) When I do so, I will update this hack. Thanks for the heads up!

[Cloudrunner]

I haven't had time to upgrade to RC3 yet. :) When I do so, I will update this hack. Thanks for the heads up!
hmm...it ported to VB3 perfectly fine for me.

[fly]

FYI...

If you go to preview a reply, it doesn't add the username. It just shows '* likes'.

im using RC4 btw...

[Reeve of shinra]

Installed it

[S@NL - Pascal]

Hi,

The /me solution shown in this thread doesn't work that good.
For vB3.0.0 RC4 make the following modifications:

In your AdminCP add the following Custom BB code:
Title : Me
Tag : me
Replacement : <font color="red">* {option} {param}</font>
Example : write this
Description : --What you like--
Use {option} : Yes
Button image : -- Leave blank --


In editpost find:

$postusername = $bbuserinfo['username'];


After it add:

// Hack : /me like in IRC channels
$edit['message'] = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', " . "]\\1", $edit['message']);
// End Hack


In newreply.php find:

$newpost['openclose'] = $_POST['openclose'];


After it add:

// Hack : /me like in IRC channels
$newpost['message'] = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', " . "]\\1", $newpost['message']);
// End Hack


Have fun with it.

[Boofo]

How about private messages?

[Boofo]

I found an interesting tidbit with this hack. If you use other than the default font in your message, the /me code doesn't work. Try it with the Comic Sans font and you will see what I mean. I did it in the test forum on here and the /me code wouldn't parse.

[Edgewize]

Great hack; I customized it pretty heavily to add support for private messages, message preview, and to respect bbcode-disabled flags. I also think that this will work no matter what font is currently in use, and it will never generate non-XHTML-compliant output (even when tags are badly overlapped).

* Edgewize clicks install because without Erwin, I'd never have started!


I put the following a file called hack_me.php:

(NOTE: had to mangle the color tags to get it to post right. replace Xcolor with color in six places!)

<?php
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'newreply' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$postinfo['username'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (THIS_SCRIPT == 'private' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$pm['fromusername'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && is_array($GLOBALS['post']))
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['post']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && $GLOBALS['previewpost'])
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['bbuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && isset($GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']))
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
?>

Then added the line

@include('hack_me.php');


in the following places:


includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php around line 323, immediately after:
global $DB_site, $vboptions, $bbuserinfo, $templatecache, $smiliecache;
global $html_allowed;

newreply.php around line 96, immediately after
$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext));

private.php around line 1156, immediately after
$pagetext = trim($pagetext);



(Note: to change the color, change the three color tags in hack_me.php)

Well that is, it works fine in a new thread and new reply.
Works fine in quoting a post with a /me in it.

Doesn't work when you edit the orig /me post, you loose the username then. But you can always add /me befor eit again. Plus editting is not done often.

Same here. Thank you very much, sir. ;)

I still can't get the different fonts to work right though with or without your code. :(

[Edgewize]

Oh... for a while, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem Boofo, but now I think I got it!

I re-edited my post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=484334#post484334) and changed some of the lines in hack_me.php, give that a shot...

[Boofo]

Thank you, sir, that made a big difference. ;)

There is still one small problem. The link below is how it looks now. The first post still has a problem if there is a line of text before it for some reason. Otherwise, it works great!

http://www.bearfacts2.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1296#post1296

Also, you need to add color to the second line in the hack_php.file for quoting the pms. If there is no color in there, the quoted pms don't show color (as you are replying to the message). ;)

[Edgewize]

I think that in your second line, the font is changing between the / and the "me". Not sure if I can really support that. Just don't do it! *grin*

As for the color, I actually like it better when the quoted lines don't have color, because in my postbit it looks confusing (at a glance, its hard to tell if the /me belongs to the quoted post or the reply). You can always change the preg_replace line to put the [color] back in, as you've done :D

[Boofo]

Is there a way to parse the line if it has the /me code in it anywhere? They had that for vb2 and it was great. ;)

[Boofo]

I think that in your second line, the font is changing between the / and the "me". Not sure if I can really support that. Just don't do it! *grin*



You were right. That's what it was doing. I fixed it and all is well now. Thank you again, sir. This is by far the greatest addition to this hack there ever has been. Excellent job! ;)

EDIT I did notice that when you go to edit the post, it parses the default font line but not the rest. Like this:

Let's see if this works

/ me is testing with the Comic Sans Font

/ me is testing with the Centurt Gothic Font

* Boofo is testing the default font

/ me is testing with the Garamond Font (size 3)

Shouldn't it work the same way for all of them? (I had to add a space between the / and the me here to show you what it looks like in edit mode on my site or it would parse it here. It looks just like that but without the spaces I added here.)

[Edgewize]

Shouldn't it work the same way for all of them? (I had to add a space between the / and the me here to show you what it looks like in edit mode on my site or it would parse it here. It looks just like that but without the spaces I added here.)

Yeah. This is a weird one, I can't reproduce it; working fine on my board. Maybe you left in one of the lines from the original hack by Erwin? As you said, there's no reason that it should detect it properly for display but not on the quote page. It's the same preg_match expression :/

It works great for me, I'm not sure what could be happening on your site. Wish I could give you some sort of an answer. :(

Where does the hack_me.php go? Is it the forum root, or the includes dir? I'm guessing the problem is in this file somewhere as the other 3 files each only need one minor edit which I have checked to be correct.

Well good and bad, discovered a nasty bug with that version of the hack, several threads became unviewable, obviously something in them that the hack was trying to parse. I've had to remove this hack and go back to Erwins version.

Frugal

[Boofo]

Sounds to me like you have something else going on somewhere interfering with this hack then. I have never run into that anywhere on my forum. All threads view fine. There's really no way that it can cause any threads not to view. All he is parsing in the hack is the /me code. :surprised:

[Frugal]

Dunno, it's probably clashing with another hack, but either way it causes problems for me. With Erwins version all threads open fine, with Edgewizes about 4 threads showed as blank pages.

Thanks for this great little hack. Below is what I used to get it working on 3.0 Gold (replaces the original post). This code works with PMs as well, and uses the same formatting as the "highlight" tag so it can be used on a per-style basis.

The major difference is the editing of private.php in two spots. I know using $post in private.php probably isn't the best way to go about it, but it is quick and only takes two lines.

code is updated, bug in WYSIWYG mode when editing posts is fixed.
code is updated, bug in pm previews is fixed see the funcitons_newpost changes.

I don't know. I use the hack_me.php file, but I thought when editing posts there might be a problem so I just thought I would mention it. ;)

Is there a way to make the whole line parse if there is bbcode BEFORE the /me code? They had that with an addon for the vB2 /me code.

i figured out where people where having the problem. the code i posted is updated to fix it.

Is there a way to make the whole line parse if there is bbcode BEFORE the /me code? They had that with an addon for the vB2 /me code.

changing '#^/me(.*)$#im' to '#/me(.*)$#im' in all the preg_replace() calls should let it start anywhere inside the line and end at the end of the line.

[Boofo]

Is there a way to have it parse the whole line in the hightlight color when there is the /me code in it no matter where the /me code is in the line? Does that make any sense?

[draculanowaday]

thanks, work well with Vb 3.0 Gold :)

[Aleksey]

Ok, just to clearfy, if I put "/me" it will say username of a person who is looking at my post?

[Boofo]

No it will say:

/me like this hack

[masahiko]

Is there a way to have it parse the whole line in the hightlight color when there is the /me code in it no matter where the /me code is in the line? Does that make any sense?

change:
'#^/me(.*)$#im'

'#^(.*)/me(.*)$#im'

change:
$post[username] \\1

to:
\\1 $post[username] \\2

change:
$originalposter \\1

to:
\\1 $originalposter \\2

in all the preg_replace() calls and it should do what you want.

this text that /me typed

would come out as:

* this text that masahiko typed

make sense? of course, i haven't used the hack_me.php version so all my example chages are based of the original/my own.

Ok, we had a major issue now with the file-version of this hack (where the file is included). Some threads where no longer readable, especially some with an URL in it. We took the hack out and everything went fine again.

This doesn't seem to working when previewing a PM and doesn't work in the show_pm. It works great in the quote pm, though. Also, if I use other fonts for this, it doesn't seem to work. The link below will show you the testing thread for this.

http://www.bearfacts2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=437

Any idea how to fix the pm stuff and the different font stuff?

[Frugal]

I can't say i have these probs at my board tho

the hack works fine, the url's are fine

sure you guyz didn't messed up some code somewhere?Unlikely, I am pretty experienced at this and have been installing hacks since UBB v1 (so about 4 years experience and countless hacks installed during those years), also this hack is one of the simpler hacks, 1 line pasted into 3 files and one php page created by copying and pasting, not much to mess up and very easy to check.

As far as I can tell the problem is related to url's with /me in them (could just be coincidence though, also all the problem posts on my site had urls using vB code rather than just being parsed ie HERE (http://www.redfoxdk.com/falcon/falcon_downloads/Rattys_missileFix%20_BMSdatav1.61.zip) as opposed to http://www.redfoxdk.com/falcon/falcon_downloads/Rattys_missileFix%20_BMSdatav1.61.zip (http://www.redfoxdk.com/falcon/falcon_downloads/Rattys_missileFix%20_BMSdatav1.61.zip)), although I suspect it could also be caused by a conflict between 2 hacks. Chances are Bernd Glasstett and myself both have the conflicting hack.

Mind you it is also possible that the problem is just hard to notice because it only affects a small number of posts. I have 1500 posts per day on my forum and only found 4 recent posts that wouldn't open. I notice that both Bernd and myself have very busy forums whilst those who have stated they are not experiencing the problem have fairly quiet forums.

This could simply be a timebomb waiting to happen on your forum.

i updated my post with a fix for the pm previews.

i'm assuming that you're using font tags around the /me text. if you're using my code then it'll never work because the /me part isn't the first thing on the line. you'll have to use one of the preg changes i gave you erlier. i'm using my own hack verbatum so i'm not going to test that. if you do change it you'll have to watch for conflicts in the code thats being replaced. if you have one tag that changes the font inside another font tag, the inside one will take over.

[Boofo]

Using that preg_replace you posted didn't fix it. It still doesn't work with other fonts for me. And it STILL doesn't work in the show_pm. When viewing a pm with the /me code, you see the /me code. It works great in preview mode and quoting a private message, but not viewing a private message from someone who has the /me code in it. Does that make any sense?

[kanezfan]

If anyone is having trouble with my original hack_me.php version posted a few pages back, then I'm at a loss. It must be a conflict with another poorly written hack because all that my code does is insert code tags before and after the /me line, as if they were typed by the user himself. There is no way that vB tags can cause a post or a thread to just 'disappear' unless some custom change has been made to the bbcode parser.

For the record, the original hack_me version that I posted in this thread works fine for my vB 3.0 Gold sites.

What did you change in it? I see the s is gone and a t is added. Anything else? ;)

And I wanted to ask. How come if I use highlight instead of color=, all the /me lines are in bold?

[Edgewize]

All the occurrances of \s were replaced with [ \t] (that's [(space)\t]). \s also matches newlines, so that could get into trouble and match too much in very particular situations. Also, the parenthesis groups were shifted around a bit, but I can't remember why ;)

I have no idea why highlight would do that. As you can see, it just inserts a tag before any bbcode processing is done ... does your highlight normally make things bold?

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if the highlight tags does that also, or not. I never paid much attention to it until now. Where would that code be on vB3, do you know?

[TouchingVirus]

The highlight code appears in functions_bbcode.php at line 203..i think this is what you were looking for..


// [HIGHLIGHT]
$bbcodes['custom']['find']['[highlight]'] = '#\[highlight\](.*)\[/highlight\]#esiU';
$bbcodes['custom']['replace']['[highlight]'] = "handle_bbcode_parameter('\\1', '" . str_replace("'", "\'", '<span class="highlight">\1</span>') . "')";
$bbcodes['custom']['recurse']['highlight'][0] = array('replace_html' => "<span class=\"highlight\">\\7</span>");

Ms Kalunji how did you install this? When I searched for the code strips. I found nothing.

Any help?

[Morgalis]

The code in includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php has changed in 3.06 and breaks it

using /me tests this hack comes out as

I've edited the first post so that you can find the code to change in vB 3.0.6.

still no answer bout /you??

Because that's a different hack - post that in the mod request forum. This is a support thread for this hack - and I haven't even ticked the support checkbox so this hack is not formally supported.

It was doing weird things when a user edits a post... so I've created this work around for the bit of text that goes into functions_bbcode.php

// HACK : START : ME
global $post;
if ('' == $post[username]) {
$meUsername = $bbuserinfo[username];
} else {
$meUsername = $post[username];
}
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"red\">* $meUsername \\1</font>", $bbcode);
// HACK : END : ME


Essentially if you are editing a post the $post array does not exist, as another context is used instead. So you lose the username.

I've added a switch that tests for this, and if $post doesn't exist, it uses the name of the current poster... fine for my forum as I only allow post owners to edit their messages... but this is a crude hack and it will break when an admin or mod edits their post... so not good.

Does anyone know a better context that I can use? How to find out the equivalent of an $editpost array or the post id so that I can get the proper name.

Good idea. :) I've been essentially too lazy to fix this as this hack is basically not that important on my site.

Whats that fix for?

[buro9]

Whats that fix for?
As I said: Essentially if you are editing a post the $post array does not exist, as another context is used instead. So you lose the username

So... when posts with /me in are being edited... the edited version no longer contains the username... so /me might have been "* buro9" in the original, but after edit it was "* " and no username... the fix above presumes the person editing is the person who performs the action and inserts their username.

It's a minor thing, but one that was noticed immediately on my board... so I put this hack to this hack in there.

Though a better solution is desirable.

[sensimilla]

and whats the use for it ? retrieving forgiven nickname? :p

Look... if you haven't seen the bug, or experienced it... cool :)

But if you've seen it, and it nags you... then a workaround is above.

You don't have to use it.

Erwin! I've got it!

Could you update your hack?


// HACK : START : ME
global $post;
if ('' == $post[username]) {
global $reputation;
if ('' == $reputation[username]) {
global $pm;
if ('' == $pm[fromusername]) {
$meUsername = $bbuserinfo[username];
} else {
$meUsername = $pm[fromusername];
}
} else {
$meUsername = $reputation[username];
}
} else {
$meUsername = $post[username];
}
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<span class=\"postAction\">* $meUsername \\1 *</span>", $bbcode);
// HACK : END : ME


Note I've changed one thing regards the formatting that you might not want to change... I use a stylesheet for it so that I can use different colours according to style in use.

But it's the nested if's that is important... solves /me for PM's and reputation bits :)

Awesome! :) I sure will...

Looking at your code, I still need the newreply.php bit... I'll try this out tonight...

It doesn't fix the edit bug!

It's just the lack of username in reputation comments and private messages.

I'll look at the edit one now though :)
