When you added the new action, you didn't point it to action.changetitle_bbcode.php , instructions fixed.

[NuclioN]

hm...yes it works but....the usertitle is replacing topic and reply's (???????)

My usertitle is 'matrixsurfer' and when i make a reply somewhere the whole reply is replaced with 'matrixsurfer'

[msimplay]

YESSSSS i was waiting for this :D

wheres the install button :ermm:

and this hack needs to show the bbcode in usertitle in the profile
and forumdisplay
and now i'm guessing anywhere thats not the showthread

Yeah, noticed that when looking at a PM I sent myself to store information in. :(


I'll post a version 2 later today.

[JaNa]

I find this a useful item! But i'll wait for V2 since the current version has some bugs. :)

If only more items were made :(

* JaNa tries to click install

[dstruct2k]

Thanks for clickin---- WAIT! Where's the install button!? Someone missed the Add-On Releases forum when they added the install button hack. :eek:

[JaNa]

:rolleyes: Yeeah...I wonder if they noticed yet.

Anywayss...do you think you'll make more Store Items :nervous:

[msimplay]

Yeah, noticed that when looking at a PM I sent myself to store information in. :(


I'll post a version 2 later today.
please do give update instructions :)

[JaNa]

It's working great! Thanks.

Just one question: How do you change the length of text you can put in the Custom Title :nervous:

[Giveit2u43]

Do you have cached posts switched on? if so that`s the problem. as the parse_bbcode tag takes the parsed bbcode and uses it as the cached posttext..

[dstruct2k]

It's working great! Thanks.

Just one question: How do you change the length of text you can put in the Custom Title :nervous:
vBulletin Options -> User Profile Options -> User Title Maximum Characters (default 25)

[Zachery]

psst release it at geeky designs too ;)

First post updated.

[msimplay]

i need something that stops user from using bbcode in user title when using the standard change user title
in the shop

and something that changes bbcode user titles for other users
and stops them when using the standard one

these are suggestions just to round the hack off

also the bbcode does not parse in the ustore history

VERSION 2 RELEASED!

First post updated.

* JaNa Thumbs Up :up:

How would I do this so that only BB codes will work, not the smilies?

I'm honestly not sure, as I just tap into the "bbcode_parse()" function, which by default includes smilies.

i solved my previos problem with my earlier request
it seems that only admins may bypass the custom bbcode in user titles using the normal custom user title store item because they have html enabled for user titles good job am the only admin

ps could u make the same hack to include changing other users names aswell
please

to the store history

and if possible to the v3 stats page :$

I personally would rather have the history unparsed, so that you can see exactly what code the user used. I could code an option into the php though, version 3 soon I guess. :rolleyes:

As for that "stats" page, it's part of the v3arcade... I really don't want to code hacks for hacks that integrate with other hacks, if you know what I mean. (Otherwise you'd be asking for code for every hack that shows the usertitle. ;)) I'll post a quick fix in a sec though, as I too have the arcade installed, and I modded it about 10 minutes ago. :)

[dstruct2k]

Arcade integration
(Editing arcade.php)

Find:$navbits[""] = "Arcade Statistics";

Add under: {
require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
$user['usertitle'] = parse_bbcode($user['usertitle']);
}

Find:// if this is the user's first visit to the arcade

Add above: if ($bbuserinfo['titleparse'])
{
require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
$bbuserinfo['usertitle'] = parse_bbcode($bbuserinfo['usertitle']);
}

ps thank you very much for the arcade intergration :D

that is very weird actually i don't have that problem with cached posts turned on

How do you turn cached posts off?

[msimplay]

um i need this modification for private messages now
:o

to snobbymom its under *Server Settings and Optimization Options* in admin cp options
and then set *Cached Posts Lifespan* to 0 days

[Zachery]

It doesnt work at all with post chacing turned on? or it just doesnt update the old posts?

If it just doesnt update the old posts, then its a matter of just clearing the post chache and renalbing it.

[dstruct2k]

Short instructions for profile.php because I'm busy right now:

Find a line with [musername]
add this a few lines above... {
require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
$user['usertitle'] = parse_bbcode($user['usertitle']);
}

I'll post full instructions later, right now I'm coding vbEvents. :)

i'm using vb3.00
i can't find [musername] in profile.php

please release the instructions to add this hack to the private messages as my pms look weird

[dstruct2k]

Well, I assumed it would be like the other pages. I guess it's not.

Give me a minute to find what needs changing.

[dstruct2k]

<poke> anwser me :P
Sorry. :p

I never used post caching, so if I turned it on, I wouldn't find out anyway. :p

[the Sandman]

I'm getting: Warning: main(uttstore/action.changetitle_bbcode.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/painfor/public_html/forums/ushop.php on line 247

Where did I mess up? :(

[the Sandman]

OK - found it. I had to rename action[1].changetitle_bbcode.php to action.changetitle_bbcode.php. I'm not sure why it downloads like that though...

[dstruct2k]

It doesn't in IE6...

Wait, yes it does... wierd...

[dstruct2k]

i'm using vb3.00
i can't find [musername] in profile.php

please release the instructions to add this hack to the private messages as my pms look weirdI must've been asleep when I coded that.


You're wanting to edit PRIVATE.php, not profile...

Find: // parse the message
$pm['message'] = parse_pm_bbcode($pm['message'], $pm['allowsmilie']);

After add: if ($pm['titleparse'])
{
require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
$pm['usertitle'] = parse_bbcode($pm['usertitle']);
}

don't know if the attachment hack is affecting it but that doesnt work for me :(

[dstruct2k]

Oh... my... god...

I need caffene. Badly.

I've edited my last post. :)

thank you very much been waiting for it quite a while now but am really happy its done :D

[msimplay]

another request for the bbcode in user titles
for the arcade screen for vs games :o

[dstruct2k]

** starts crying **

In arcade.php find: $activitycount = $DB_site->query("SELECT COUNT(valid=1) AS played,userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions GROUP BY userid");
Add before: if (($bbuserinfo['titleparse']) || ($user['titleparse']))
{
require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
if ($bbuserinfo['titleparse'])
{
$bbuserinfo['usertitle'] = parse_bbcode($bbuserinfo['usertitle']);
}
if ($user['titleparse'])
{
$user['usertitle'] = parse_bbcode($user['usertitle']);
}
}


Untested, should work.

[the Sandman]

Untested, should work.Tested... works. :D

[msimplay]

** starts crying **


hehe am sorry but thank you very much i really appreciate it :D

[68 Z-28]

I haven't looked at the instructions yet, so maybe I'm getting a head of myself in asking, but is there a way that this can be limited to specific usergroups? When we were running vb2.x I had it installed so that mods and admins would stand out and people knew who they were. I'd like to do that again.

[Link14716]

This is now a part of uCash & uShop 0.95, only not. It allows BBCode and Smilies, needs no file edits, works with post caching, etc, works everywhere custom titles are shown, and doesn't need it's own action file - it just uses the standard Change Custom Title and Change Other User's Custom Title action files, controlled by an action specific variable. ;)

[Link14716]

No, but the action file from this hack will not work, and of course those who already bought BBCode titles will have the BBCode visable unless you keep the file edits from this hack.

[the Sandman]

If we choose to remove this hack what query or queries are needed to reverse the query run during installation: ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `titleparse` SMALLINT( 6 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL

[the Sandman]

Anyone? :ermm:

[Reeve of shinra]

Sandman: use this


ALTER TABLE `user`
DROP `titleparse`;


Alternately, go into phpmyadmin, go to the user table, check off the field 'titleparse' and click on the little garbage can icon at the bottom. (be sure NOT to hit drop at the top)

[the Sandman]

Thanks man - that's what I was looking for!

[EVJ7665]

I'd like to see a version of this hack that isn't in ushop. We used to have bbcode allowed in titles on our vb2 trying to get it working again on vb3.

i upgraded to version 0.95 and now the custom user titles don't parse the bbcode what did i do wrong

i also ran the query

ALTER TABLE `user`
DROP `titleparse`;

[shadesvn]

Hi, Im new to this mod, i need a Fresh installation so pls show me how to install this mod !

THanks mates !

[jsnakej13]

This mod is now included in UShop. So Shadesvn you wasted time uploading this.

[Tigga]

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE CACHED POSTS AND THIS HACK WORK TOGETHER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN RELEASE A VERSION 3

$parsed_postcache['skip'] = true;
$post['usertitle'] = parse_bbcode2($post['usertitle'], 0, 0, 0, 1);
$parsed_postcache['skip'] = false;


(You can also enable/disable smilies, images, HTML, and etc with the parse_bbcode2() function instead of the parse_bbcode() function. ;))

[Zachery]

$parsed_postcache['skip'] = true;
$post['usertitle'] = parse_bbcode2($post['usertitle'], 0, 0, 0, 1);
$parsed_postcache['skip'] = false;


(You can also enable/disable smilies, images, HTML, and etc with the parse_bbcode2() function instead of the parse_bbcode() function. ;))
Its a default feature in .95 now ;)

[Tigga]

Yup, noticed that... This method is parsing the title after it's inserted into the database, while uShop is parsing the title before it's inserted into the database, which could create a problem if you still wanted to allow some users to use HTML. I was working on this for a client and noticed the post caching problem, came here to search real quick and see if anyone had posted about it (and found this post obviously), and decided to post the fix after I figured it out incase it would help anyone else. ;)

[Wifey]

I just wanted to tell you dstruct2k that you're awesome! Thanks for such wonderful support - my questions were answered before I even finished reading the thread.

Two thumbs way up!

[SeNdEr2005]

is there a way to add bbcode to username?

[Wordplay]

i installed the latest version of ucash yesterday, but it bbcodes and smilies dont work in the user titles. so i found this hack, and installed it. but this hack doesn't quite work, when you click on the action it gives you the confirm button but no fields to enter anything in. i just read the last 2 pages here.

so i guess my problem is something with the ucash settings, or maybe i missed something when doing the hack. anybody know what the problem could be?

i had to use the install script to first uninstall the old ucash database settings

then reinstall the new ones using the new version of ucash's install script and mine worked then however i lost my old settings

ps this hack is for the older version of ucash

[Wordplay]

the old ucash settings? i never had an older version of this hack on vbulletin. just this one. first time install.

[Wifey]

Just for the record, if this is standard in the new uCash it's sure as hell not working on my board. I had it working great then upgraded and this won't work. AND the bbcode in the new usertitle as you say it works doesn't.

Any ideas Zachery? I didn't see anything on Geeky Designs.

I didn't touch any of the files after upgrading
