:banana:

EDIT: Works great on vB3.5.0 RC1 as well. Only thing is that you can only have one line of /me code per line. Was this intentional or is it a bug?

* Chris_D is testing something

EDIT 2: It works on this version of it.

Great work though, so simple as well. I've seen these often have a few template changes :) Well done.

EDIT 3: It also makes the rest of the post's text bold...

[Corriewf]

Screen shot? I have no idea what this looks like and im afraid to install.

Looks ok - needs a few fixes.

Any way to get this to support /you also?

[Chris M]

Any way to get this to support /you also?

See Dean's [you] bbcode plugin...

Or, if you really want /you, upload this plugin again, and alter the /me references to /you and then see how the [you] bbcode obtains the necessary information:)

I have found a bug:

Quoting a post means that /me code quoted takes on the /me parameters of the person quoting, not the quotee, with or without using /me in their post :)

[Christine]

Dean,

This is converting everything that starts with /me

It is showing up on links to ./member.php as (for example) .* Christinember.php

Is that something that can be fixed with a regex to look for the space after it?

Time to change this to beta I think :) Thanks for the bug report, I need a few minutes to play around with the regex's, but a few minutes is something I don't have rigth now! :(

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Just put a space after the 'me' in the regex.

[Vizionz]

good job with this hack it works perfect

[Boofo]

Just put a space after the 'me' in the regex.

Like this?

$mepattern = '/\/me ([^\r\n]+)/is';

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Well try it and you'll know bob :D

[Boofo]

I posted that for the benefit of the newbies, sir. ;)

[Dean C]

$mepattern = '/\/me[\s]{1}([^\r\n]+)/is';


Should work

[Boofo]

Is this official? ;)

[Boofo]

It works, Dean. Great job! ;)

How do I get the whole line to be in red in this?

$this->post['message'] = preg_replace($mepattern, '<b><font color=red>* ' . $this->post['username'] . ' $1</font></b>', $this->post['message']);

Right now it makes everything from the /me part on in red but if you have something like:

The /me hack is working great now

The "The" at the beginning isn't bold or red.

[Chris M]

It is now replacing all instances of "/me text" with "* Chris Mtext" -.-

The other version ignored /me commands that were not at the start of the line :)

Fix :p

[FleaBag]

Nice to have this back in my vB. :)

I like it better this way myself. Sentences can make more sense now in some cases. ;)

[Chris M]

I like it better this way myself. Sentences can make more sense now in some cases. ;)

It's no good if you are trying to explain to someone how to use it though ;)

"Just type /me then your message on a new line" becomes "Just type * Chris Mthen your message on a new line" -.-

How does that explain how to use the code, for example?

Satan

Well, they should already know how to use it as much as it has been around, but I do see your point and think it should be the start of the line only. After experimenting with it, it just doesn't look right in the middle of a sentence.

Satan

[Dean C]

Chris is right. It should only work at the start of a new line IMO. That's how I'll develop it when I get some time this week. The main problem is evil nested quotes :p

[Boofo]

Here's what I came up with to work until Dean gets a chance to fix his:

$mepattern = '#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim';
if(preg_match($mepattern, $this->post['message']))
{
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace($mepattern, '<b><font color=red>* ' . $this->post['username'] . ' $3</font></b>', $this->post['message']);
}

I'm, sure his fix will be better than this, but this will get you through until then. ;)

Tested and working. ;)

[Boofo]

The only thing I found wrong with it is when you quote a message with it, /me shows up instead of the name of the person who wrote the original post. How do we fix that?

[Chris M]

Works perfectly Bob :)

Like you say, there is only the quote issue to work around now :)

Satan

[Chris M]

I believe there may be a way to solve it, but it will require a file edit to class_bbcode.php :(

function handle_bbcode_quote($message, $username = '')

I believe we could use the replacement code here, and set a variable, something like "isquotedme" to true, and then in the plugin check for if "isquotedme" is true...

Might work...

Satan

[Boofo]

The problem almost has to be with this line. The old vb3 version used pagetext.

$this->post['message'] = preg_replace($mepattern, '<b><font color=red>* ' . $this->post['username'] . ' $3</font></b>', $this->post['message']);

$this->post['message'] = preg_replace($mepattern, '<b><font color=red>* ' . $this->post['username'] . ' $3</font></b>', $this->post['message']);

$this->post['message'] is a result of this function in class_postbit.php:

function parse_bbcode()
{
$this->post['message'] = $this->bbcode_parser->parse($this->post['pagetext'], $this->forum['forumid'], $this->post['allowsmilie']);

You can see how I'm testing it and see if you can get anywhere:


$msg =
'

lala

* Dean C testss again

asdfadsf


* Dean C RAWRs
';
$mepattern = '#[\r\n\t]+(/me[\s]{1}([^\r\n]+))#i';
preg_match_all($mepattern, $msg, $matchess);
foreach($matchess[1] AS $mekey => $mematch)
{
$pattern = str_replace(' ', '[\s]{1}', $mematch);
$pattern = str_replace('/me', '\/me', $pattern);
if(preg_match('#\[quote=(.*?)\].*' . $pattern . '.*\[\/quote]#ims', $msg, $finalmatches))
{
$user = $finalmatches[1];
}
else
{
$user = 'User';
}
$msg = str_replace($mematch, '<b>* ' . $user . ' ' . $matchess[2]["$mekey"] . '</b>', $msg);
unset($pattern, $finalmatches);
}
echo nl2br($msg);

[Christine]

Thanks for working on this one, Dean. Was a favorite for our members. :)

Am ready to test as soon as you have something you want us to try!

[Roxie]

when my members post links that have http://me in it - such as http://members.com - it replaces with their name - http://usernamembers.com

[ThePimp]

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but, I found an issue using this plugin... When posting a link to http://www.yoursite.com/member.php?u=123455

The /me in the URL gets parsed as BBCode.

It was breaking some links on my site. Just a note for you to maybe look into.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

installed RC 1 :D thx!

[Boofo]

Dean, are you ever going to fix this, buddy? ;)

[Gizmo5h1t3]

[Boofo]

Try quoting it. ;)

[Andreas]

An idea for the Quote Issue:
Hook: bbcode_create

$this->tag_list['option']['quote']['callback'] = 'handle_external';
$this->tag_list['option']['quote']['external_callback'] = 'me_quote_handler';
$this->tag_list['no_option']['quote']['callback'] = 'handle_external';
$this->tag_list['no_option']['quote']['external_callback'] = 'me_quote_handler';

if (!function_exists('me_quote_handler'))
{
function me_quote_handler(&$parser, $message, $username)
{
if ($username)
{
$message = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '<b><font color=red>* ' . $username . ' $3</font></b>', $message);
}
else
{
$message = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '& #47;me $3', $message);
}
return $parser->handle_bbcode_quote($message, $username);
}
}

[Boofo]

Take the other code out or use this with it?

[Andreas]

It's an addition to fix the Quote-Issue; the other Code is still required to handle /me outside Quotes

[Boofo]

Ok, well, it doesn't work. It still shows /me in the quotes and well as editing. But I am using my code that I posted in this thread for hellsatan. Should I be using Dean's?

[Andreas]

It shows /me if the Quote does not have a Username.
In Quotes that have a Username it should show this (at least this it was it does for me ;)).

In the Code I posted abobe, the space between & and #47; must be removed.
Seems like I can't post it this way it it will come up as / ;)

[Boofo]

Here's what I get.

[Andreas]

Hmm ... if you want /me substituted with the Posters Name in the Editor this would require other changes.

[Boofo]

$this->tag_list['option']['quote']['external_callback'] = 'me_quote_handler';
$this->tag_list['no_option']['quote']['callback'] = 'handle_external';
$this->tag_list['no_option']['quote']['external_callback'] = 'me_quote_handler';

if (!function_exists('me_quote_handler'))
{
function me_quote_handler(&$parser, $message, $username)
{
if ($username)
{
$message = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '<b><font color=red>* ' . $username . ' $3</font></b>', $message);
}
else
{
$message = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '& #47;me $3', $message);
}
return $parser->handle_bbcode_quote($message, $username);
}
}


No wonder this doesn't work! This is using code from your quote callback mod. ;)


$this->tag_list['option']['quote']['callback'] = 'handle_external';
$this->tag_list['option']['quote']['external_callback'] = 'me_quote_handler';
$this->tag_list['no_option']['quote']['callback'] = 'handle_external';
$this->tag_list['no_option']['quote']['external_callback'] = 'me_quote_handler';

It is the 23rd already :D

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

found a kinda "bug"

if someone types a URL link to something that coincendently has a "/ me " in it...
it messes up the link.

for example: someone on my board tried to post:

http://media.putfile.com/Bike-Stunt43

and it keep producing this when the link was clicked:

http://www.mysite.com/<b>*%20Liz?dKingdia.putfile.com/Bike-Stunt43

where "<b>*%20Liz?dKing" was his forum name


it is possible to fix this so that the /me function is disabled when inside a link/url?

[Alien]

I was trying to read through that post and haven't figured out how to install it on RC2 and IF this is working or now ...

Any suggestions / clues ?

For me, everything with this hack works perfectly (including quoting) *except* attempting to post a message with URL's such as: http://media.putfile.com/Bike-Stunt43

The moment I do that, and try to submit a post (with or without wrapping it with (url) tags (yes i know they should be square ones lol) it renders the thread completely broken and I cannot read it again.. So I'm deactivating for now...

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

installed and working on 3.5.0

url thing, Alien, is what I posted above....

solutoin:
---"/me" function is disabled when inside a link/url
---or just avoid url with "/me" in them. ;)

[Mike Gaidin]

Works for me so far on 3.5.0 Gold. Nice work. :)

[weaver]

$mepattern = '/\/me[\s]{1}([^\r\n]+)/is';


Should work

That didn't work for me. Now a space is missing between the username and the next word... and it's still mucking up the username on the quote to whoever is quoting instead of who's being quoted.

Had to disabled / uninstall for now because of the URL problem :(
^Same :( i have lots of members with links like http://members.site.com/whatever.html

[El_Muerte]

use:
$mepattern = '/(^|\s)\/me([^\r\n]+)/is';
if(preg_match($mepattern, $this->post['message']))
{
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace($mepattern, '$1<b>* ' . $this->post['username'] . '$2</b>', $this->post['message']);
}

this requires either nothing (begin of the post) or a whitespace character before the /me

also note the changed preg_replace

[utw-Mephisto]

You are A HERO :D :D Works !!!

[-mk-]

YAY that worked great!
Thank you very much :D

[El_Muerte]

You might also want to add the following plugin
global $vbulletin;
$mepattern = '/(^|\s)\/me([^\r\n]+)/is';
if(preg_match($mepattern, $previewmessage))
{
$previewmessage = preg_replace($mepattern, '$1<b>* ' . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . '$2</b>', $previewmessage);
}
under the hook: newpost_preview

and

$mepattern = '/(^|\s)\/me([^\r\n]+)/is';
if(preg_match($mepattern, $reviewmessage))
{
$reviewmessage = preg_replace($mepattern, '$1<b>* ' . $username . '$2</b>', $reviewmessage);
}
under the hook: newreply_form_reviewbit

with this the preview of a post will also get the right update

or simply download the attached xml file (note: I made it a product because of the 3 linked hooks)

[Moparx]

thanks El_Muerte :)

Now all we need is a fix so that when quoting a post with /me in it, the quoted /me uses the quoted persons name instead of taking on the name of the person replying

[El_Muerte]

I've been working to revamp this plugin, so far so good except for the quoting issue.
The problem with quoting is that it's not use who posted it, so I've been going through a couple of ideas:

1) rewrite the /me in the quote to reflect the original user
2) use the username from the quote param to replace the /me

the problem with 1) is that it needs to be rewritten to a vbcode, so I could change the rewriting to use something like description

with 2) you have the issue that not always a username is provided in the quote

I think I'm going for the rewriting as a whole base, just like with the automatic URL detection. Ofcourse this has the issue that current /me's won't be replaced correctly.

Maybe Kirby has an idea of how to handle the quote part. ;)

[El_Muerte]

Ok here's a major overhaul of the /me command, this version rewrite the /me line to [action=username]text[/username]. This solution provides better cusomization and easier usage. Plus it also work in other plugins that parse bb code.

By default it forces a definition for [action] but you can simply override is by specifing it in the custom bbcode.
The default replacement is: <span style="font-weight: bold;">* {option} {param}</span>

This product also contains a few plugins postfixed with "(legacy support)" (disabled by default). This adds backwards compatibility for posts that only have the old "/me ..." stuff. However, the legacy code has a minor bug where "/me" is used inside a quote.

Also an entry for "/me" is added to the vbCode overview page.

[Moparx]

with legacy mode active im seeing stuff like this:

has a return after it:
* Moparx waves<br />

has a smilie next to it:
* Moparx starts up a fire pit. <img src="images/smilies/evil.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Evil" class="inlineimg" />

[El_Muerte]

ah... figures.. ok here's a fix. Replace the content of the "/me main" plugin with:
if (!function_exists("bbcode_irc_me"))
{
$bbcode_irc_me_parser = null;

function bbcode_irc_me($username, $text)
{
global $bbcode_irc_me_parser, $vbulletin;
if ($bbcode_irc_me_parser == null)
$bbcode_irc_me_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$mask = $bbcode_irc_me_parser->tag_list["option"]["action"]["html"];
$res = str_replace(array("%2\$s", "%1\$s"), array($username, $text), $mask);
return $res;
}
}

$ircme_pattern = "/(^|\s)\/me ([^\r\n]+)/is";

the produced HTML however isn't validator valid, but shouldn't produce rendering issues.

or install the newer product .xml (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=35252)

[Boofo]

Wouldn't this reg ex work just as well?

#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim

[Boofo]

ah... figures.. ok here's a fix. Replace the content of the "/me main" plugin with:
if (!function_exists("bbcode_irc_me"))
{
$bbcode_irc_me_parser = null;

function bbcode_irc_me($username, $text)
{
global $bbcode_irc_me_parser, $vbulletin;
if ($bbcode_irc_me_parser == null)
$bbcode_irc_me_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$mask = $bbcode_irc_me_parser->tag_list["option"]["action"]["html"];
$res = str_replace(array("%2\$s", "%1\$s"), array($username, $text), $mask);
return $res;
}
}

$ircme_pattern = "/(^|\s)\/me ([^\r\n]+)/is";

the produced HTML however isn't validator valid, but shouldn't produce rendering issues.

or install the newer product .xml (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=35252)

How do we get it to show up in highlight or a certain color? ;)

Also, how do we avoid this?

The * Boofo hack is working now.

If /me comes after the first word, it shouldn't be parsed. ;)

[El_Muerte]

to change the way the /me is displayed simply add the [action] vbcode tag.

for example the replacement:
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: red;">* {option} {param}</span>
will make "/me does this" be displayed as:
* El_Muerte does this

in order for /me to only be replaced at the beginning of a line edit the "/me main" plugin to use the regex:
$ircme_pattern = "/(^|\n|\r)\/me ([^\r\n]+)/is";

or you could simply add to something like "the [noprase]/me[/noparse] doesn't work now"

wth, why does [ color=red]text[/color] make the text green?!

[Moparx]

thanks again El_Muerte.
Your product is working perfectly :)

[Salazar]

doesn't work for me in 3.5.0

I uploaded the plugin but it doesn't do anything me text is still displayed as "/ me does something" (without space of course)

Any ideas? And yes, I activated the plugin.

EDIT: Nevermind, it works now :rolleyes:

[Christine]

@Salazar -- You need to upload this as a product. Use the link from El_Muerte's post. I can confirm this is working on 3.5 Gold.

@ El_Muerte -- thanks, working like a charm in big, bold red. :D Question -- what are the disabled legacy support plugins for? Can those just be deleted?

[Moparx]

if you used previous /me hacks (say on 3.0.x) the legacy mode will allow them to be shown correctly

[Christine]

Ah -- gotcha. Thanks Moparx. :)

[KimmiKat]

Where would I add the "action" tag at?

Edit: My co-admin helped me figure it out. Need coffee.

to change the way the /me is displayed simply add the [action] vbcode tag.

for example the replacement:
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: red;">* {option} {param}</span>
will make "/me does this" be displayed as:

So if i want the "/me does this and that" to be displayed in red...how and WHERE would i have to edit the XML file?

You simply add the [action] vbCode tag to your custom vbcode list like you quoted. You don't have to edit the plugin's code.
The [action] tag isn't added by default (but it is forced in the background).

[mfizzel]

I still don't know what you mean, lol

[Christine]

In El_Muerte's plugin called enforce default [action] bbcode hooked to bbcode_create , replace the <span></span> tag with:
<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: red;\">* %2\$s %1\$s</span>

Problem with this hack. Consider this:

http://Members.aol.com.. Took me forever to figure out what was mucking my links..

For now, uninstall clicked..

[JohnBee]

Same here, it was affecting many links on my forum, I was also forced to uninstall it :(

It is too bad.. I haven't looked over the code, I am sure it is an easy fix, I just do not have the time.

Good idea anyway..

It probably took you longer to post this message than it would take to fix it, if it is an easy fix. ;)

[StarBuG]

Thank you

/me clicks install

[Erox]

No offense, but I have to uninstall as well. "/me" was a good idea but something more unique like [me] would work better on a board, so I simply edited and uploaded a modified version of the "[you] hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93500)" instead (given my EXTEMELY limited coding skills).

Appreciate all the hard work you guys all did though.

-=e=-

Edited Later: One second thought, I re-installed this after changing "/me" to "[me]", and it works like a charm! I take back my "uninstall"! :)

[makemedie]

* makemedie just tested it out on 3.5.1! Works great thanks! :)

[Teslasparker]

Nice one. Only one thing that is a bit of a problem: the string searched for seems to be "/me" and not "/me ", causing certain URL's to be changed too! I.e:

http://server.contry/me_hack.jpg results in: http://server.contry* ~_hack.jpg

(where "~" is the user (me) in question that has been replaced).

Could you please fix this in future versions?

[Bernd Glasstett]

I would rather recommend, to look if in the string there is a "http://". If so: Don't apply the hack. Just for the case, someone has been using a blind space in his URL ;)

[Club3G]

Nice, but nested quotes kills .. /me.. (har har)

[Daniel]

I know this will sound stupid but... how would I uninstall this via admincp? It's not showing up in my plugin manager, but it's showing up when I click "Upload/download plugins"

/me is a confused duckling

[wolfyman]

sounds like there are a few things missing before this hack is safe to use... will watch the thread, though :)

[Guest210212002]

Working on 3.5.3 with the above mentioned issues, but they're minor in light of this being such a fun add-on in general.

/me clicks install.

I've attached my product XML, edited just to make the font 10px non-bold green if anyone would like it.

Uninstall in the Product Manager, not the plugin manager. ;)

[Daniel]

Uninstall in the Product Manager, not the plugin manager. ;)
I believe this is a plugin... anyway, doesn't appear in either of them. :(

[Guest210212002]

It's in Product manager for me.

:scratches head:

Perhaps reinstall it, allow overwrite, then see if it shows up?

4 days of pulling out hair because of mucked links and image links.. and finially figured out it was the hack.. had to disable it and may remove it soon unless the url issuse are fixed.

well, it was fun while it lasted..

Hmm. I don't have an issue with that at all, see screenshot:

[Erwin]

Use this code instead:


$mepattern = '/(^|\s)\/me ([^\r\n]+)/is';
if(preg_match($mepattern, $this->post['message']))
{
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace($mepattern, '$1<b>* ' . $this->post['username'] . ' $2</b>', $this->post['message']);
}


Should fix the URL and other unintentional change problems.

[Desihunk]

Thanks Erwin.

I had to disable the hack due to the same reason!!

This might help :)

Thanks

[theArchitect]

Many thanks Erwin. Worked like a charm on 3.5.4. :)

[zetetic]

It's in Product manager for me.

:scratches head:
That's El_Muerte's modification, posted earlier in the thread and released independently here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102899). The mod in the OP of this thread is a plugin, not a product.

[shaynehammy]

Does this work on 3.6.4?

[brvheart]

will this work on 3.6.8??

[brvheart]

bump please

[MTGDarkness]

This keeps breaking links to certain forums with url rewrite (www.site.com/forums/metaboard-f86) and member.php, and I'm not sure of a fix.

EDIT: Fix made.

$mepattern2 = '/\/me ([^\r\n]+)/';
if(preg_match($mepattern2, $this->post['message']))
{
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace($mepattern2, '<b><font color="DarkOrchid">* ' . $this->post['username'] . ' $1 </font></b>', $this->post['message']);
}

Notice: space before the parentheses. Not after (I'm quite stupid with Regex)
