/you, /me, /youid, /myid Hack

[Deaths]

1.4.2 has been released! Upgrade if /youid and /meid arent working!

To upgrade, just cut (not copy) the youid part above the /you part, and it'll work

This is a hack adds the following BB codes:


"/you" is replaced by the Username viewing the thread*
"/me" is replaced by the thread/post creator*
"/youid" is replaced by the UserID of the user viewing the thread.
"/myid" is replaced by the UserID of the poster of the post.

"/you is great!" Turns into:

Username is great!

"/me" is great!" Turns into:

"Deaths is great!"

"http://www.vbulletin.org/user.php?u=/youid" Turns into:

"http://www.vbulletin.org/user.php?u=123".

"http://www.vbulletin.org/register.php?refferer=/myid" Turns into:

"http://www.vbulletin.org/register.php?refferer=567".

Here are the instructions:
Optionally, you may follow the instructions in install.txt.
Both this post and the .txt file contain the exact same information.

Open includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:
$bbcode = str_replace(array('>|||)', '<|||)', '"|||)'), array('>)', '<)','")'), $bbcode);
} // end smilies

Below, add:

// /youid hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
global $bbuserinfo;
$bbcode = str_replace("/youid","" .$bbuserinfo['userid']. "",$bbcode);
// End /youid hack

Below that, add:


// /meid hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
global $post;
if ('' == $post[userid]) {
global $reputation;
if ('' == $reputation[userid]) {
global $pm;
if ('' == $pm[fromuserid]) {
$meUserid = $bbuserinfo[userid];
} else {
$meUserid = $pm[fromuserid];
}
} else {
$meUserid = $reputation[userid];
}
} else {
$meUserid = $post[userid];
}
$bbcode = str_replace('/meid',"$meUserid", $bbcode);
// End /meid hack


Below that, add:


// /you hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
global $bbuserinfo;
$bbcode = str_replace("/you","<font color=\"#2DA72E\"><i>" .$bbuserinfo['username']. "</i></font> ",$bbcode);
// End /you hack


Finally, below that, add:


// /me hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
// /me Hack
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', "<font color=\"red\">* $meUsername \\1 *</font>", $bbcode);

// End /me hack



Now, open newreply.php
Find:

$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext));
Below, add:

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

This is my first publicly released hack, so it might be posible that I made a little mistake somewhere in the code, even though, - and maybe because - it is a very simple hack. If so, please post here, heh.

Hope you like it!

*I'm almost positive these hacks have already been released before, even though I couldn't find them.
I did not copy any code from anyone.
However, if you released this hack before I did, and wish to have the /you and /me hacks removed, please contact me by PM.

[Guy G]

Wow thats kinda cool.
Might install it later..
Good job :)

[Deaths]

Heh, thanks :).

If you use it, don't forget to click the install button!

[buro9]

Heh, thanks :).

If you use it, don't forget to click the install button!
Bearing in mind that the bbcodeparse stuff is called from within reputation comments and private messaging as well as the posts and threads... and bearing in mind that you have globalised the $post array... am I correct in assuming that this doesn't work for private messages or reputation comments?

[Deaths]

I believe PM's use the $post array aswell, but I'm not sure about this.
I cannot check it from where am now, though I will look into this ASAP.

This hack was intended for forum post, not for PM's.

I will look into this though, thank you for the feedback.

[MissKalunji]

nice

/me clicks install

[yoyoyoyo]

very nice! I wish I could get this to work in a poll :D I just gave out "Member of the Month" award to /you and now they are all posting acceptance speeches LMAO

[Deaths]

Heh, I did that aswell a while back, on april fools :).

I'll look into the poll thing, but I don't think BB code is allowed in polls...

Take inspiration from this snippet I've made on my board:

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];
}


By the end of that $meUsername contains the correct name for a /me code.

[yoyoyoyo]

I'll look into the poll thing, but I don't think BB code is allowed in polls...well... I just found out some mods sure can't take a joke :rolleyes:

[Deaths]

Heh, yoyoyo, I know :)

[Deaths]

Thanks buro9, added it :)

[MicroLinux?]

hmm.. is there any reason why this would work when it wants? Like sometimes it works, other times it doesnt.. Sometimes it displays /me sometimes it displays that poster's id... sometimes it displays /you others it says the user's id whose looking at it.. Seems.... weird :/

[Deaths]

It should work like it should...

Your board is currently offline so I can't test it there, but it should work just fine...

If you can't find out if it works, send me a PM, and I'll look at it.

[MicroLinux?]

Its online now... go check it out.. plz

[Deaths]

It's still offline for me...

[kcadd]

/me installs...

// /meid hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org

// End /meid hack

Should be

// /meid hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
// /me Hack
global $post;
if ('' == $post[userid]) {
global $reputation;
if ('' == $reputation[userid]) {

if ('' == $pm[fromuserid]) {
$meUserid = $bbuserinfo[userid];
} else {
$meUserid = $pm[fromuserid];
}
} else {

}
} else {
$meUserid = $post[userid];
}
$bbcode = preg_replace('#^/meid (.*)$#im',"<font color=\"red\">* $meUserid \\1 *</font>", $bbcode);
// /me Hack

// End /meid hack

As the poster username and posters id both had /me as the bbcode

Hope this fixes the problems for people

after sorting it i noticed it wouldn't print the rest of the message so i sorted that aswell

[Deaths]

Thank you for pointing that out zell_11!

I'm suprised no-one noticed it before(including me ^^), and I apoligise for the late update (was on holliday).

[shungo]

If i use the hack, the text color is not like the rest of the post... how to resolve this pls ? :)

[shungo]

no needed, i changed it myself :)

[Deaths]

Glad you could figure it out :).

[Boofo]

Can you please post a text file with the instructions so others can download it and have a backup if they ever need to re-install the hack? ;)

[Deaths]

Done.

[Boofo]

Done.

Thank you, sir. ;)

[Deaths]

Heh, no problem :D

[influence]

how come this dont work for thread title?

[leeman]

Installed and works great ....
Users love it in the shoutbox....

*/me clicks install* ;)

[Deaths]

Great to hear you like that hack :).

[FightRice.com]

Is there any way when an unregistered person is viewing the forum to make this automatically just say a name?

Instead of showing up "unregistered"

[Deaths]

That would be quite hard, as "Unregistered" isn't defined by my hack, but by vB itself...

[Dontom]

Hi ,
i added

// /you hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
global $post;
$bbcode = str_replace("/you ","<font color=\"#2DA72E\"><i>" .$bbuserinfo['username']. "</i></font> ",$bbcode);
// End /you hack

to functions_bbcodeparse but it always shows my name (posters) - any idea?

[Dontom]

solved - postcache needs to be disabled

[Deaths]

Hehe, it's April's fool today, have fun with it :D

[Deaths]

it said the validation number i gave it was incorrect after pasting it 2 times :(

[Deaths]

Yes, sorry about that, I forgot about the [url] tags.

Try again now.

EDIT: You must also follow the URL from viewing the single post, click the #36 in the top right corner of the post, then follow it ;)

[TyleR]

ah just noticed your edit..worked this time :)

[Deaths]

Hmm, very strange.

I'll take a look at it, hold on.

[Deaths]

One of our members just validated his license, so it should work.
Could you please try again?

[zetetic]

I've been using Erwin's /me code (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59698) for the last year or so, with this modification (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=484334#post484334) which supports private messages, message preview, and bbcode-disabled flags.

I'd like to switch to your hack for the "you" options but I don't want to lose all that. :)

[Deaths]

Thats why I added each bit of code seporately ;).

You can skip step 2, 4 and 5 to only add the /you codes.

[KTBleeding]

"/youid" doesn't work for me.

It will display the /you part (the users name) and have id after it in normal text.

[Deaths]

Sorry about that, some PHP versions parse it differently.
The instructions have been updated, to upgrade, just cut (not copy) the youid part above the /you part, and it'll work.

[KTBleeding]

Thanks. Seems to be working now. :)

[Deaths]

No problem ;)

[Kaishi]

the /me part doesn't work for me :(

[KTBleeding]

You need to type "/me" and then some sort of a phrase afterwards.

[Kaishi]

You need to type "/me" and then some sort of a phrase afterwards.
with the quotation marks? and how do i stop the phrase? or am i forced to do a line break?

[Deaths]

If you only type
/me
it won't work.

You need to type this for example:

/me: pwnz you

Without the :, I just typed that because it wouldnt show up correctly ;)
You can also just type "/me ". (without the quota's)

[akanevsky]

Cool, esspecially the /meid /youid thingy. Should be part of vbulletin core. *Clicks install.

[Deaths]

Glad you like it :D

[Jamie-UK]

Hi, I'm running version 3.0.3

The /you only works when you reply to a thread and see the posts at the bottom of the screen. If you view the thread, it doesn't show *your* ID, it shows mine.

Is there a way I can fix this, without installing a newer version of vBB ? (we have a fair amount of custom code in our current version).

Kind regards,

Jamie.

[Deaths]

/you is supposed to show your name, not your id.

I don't quite get your error, could you post a link?

[csidlernet]

thanks man.

[paul41598]

any way to make this mod available to admins/mods only?!?

[akanevsky]

Hey... These conditionals of yours... Could be written in a much shorter way. If you do that, I will install it :)

[Deaths]

Do you mean only for admins to see, or only for admins to use?

[Deaths]

Hey... These conditionals of yours... Could be written in a much shorter way. If you do that, I will install it :)
As far as I know this is the most effective way, else they will not show up in PMs/rep. comments/etc..

[sonic3d]

this conflicts with vBChat hack.

later

[Club3G]

sonic

I'll expand on what he's saying here.

The hack works just fine on my forums, but in vbChat, any time someone IN the chat uses /me, it shows the name of whoever's logged in.

So if I were do a:
* Club3G wishes the chat would work

I'd see:
Chris wishes the chat would work

Bob would see:
Bob wishes the chat would work

Bill would see:
Bill wishes the chat would work

etc. Is there a way to only enable this within posts? Or, alternatively, disable it in other places?

Thanks much!

[rungok]

Does anyone know how to make this work in v3.6.5? Please... I'm in a hurry. Just hours left.... :)
