Hello [username]!
 
Wherever I put this tag in my title, post or sig your logged in username will appear. If you're not logged in then something else pre-defined will show up.

I have seen this in action on a live board. How can I do it? I searched this forum but I haven't had a lot of luck :(

Thank you.

Andreas 07-29-2005 05:17 PM
Hookname: global_complete
PHP Code:
$output = str_replace('[username]', $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $output); 
Please note that this replace takes place EVERYWHERE.

i-Xp 07-29-2005 05:23 PM
Ok, couple of questions.

So, I can start a topic that says "Hi [username], how are you today?" and it will output for instance, "Hi KirbyDE, how are you today?"

What file does this go in to?

Andreas 07-29-2005 05:40 PM
1) Yes
2) No File - Hook global_complete

i-Xp 07-29-2005 05:43 PM
Thank you :)

What would it display to a user who is not logged in?

How can it be : "Guest" ?

Andreas 07-29-2005 05:56 PM
Unregistered User or smth. like that.

How do we make the plug-in for this?

Shy 07-31-2005 08:24 AM
It doesn't work with 3.5.0 RC 1 for me.
Any idea why?

Andreas 07-31-2005 10:03 AM
Just tested, works fine for me on RC 1

Boofo 07-31-2005 10:31 AM
Any way to get it to work with editpost?

Andreas 07-31-2005 10:32 AM
It works everywhere, just like replacement Variables.

LOL You're right. I guess I didn't test editing a post. Great job, sir! ;)

Blows the one I did for vb3 all to you-know-what. One less I have to mess with. ;)

Boofo 08-01-2005 12:06 PM
But it doesn't work in the archive. Any way to fix that?

Andreas 08-01-2005 12:14 PM
Not without a File edit ...

Boofo 08-01-2005 12:54 PM
And what would that be?

Andreas 08-01-2005 12:58 PM
Easiest way:
At start of index.php put
PHP Code:
ob_start(); 
At the end put
PHP Code:
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo str_replace('[username'], $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $output); 

Boofo 08-01-2005 01:02 PM
Then that should cover it for the whole site, right?

Andreas 08-01-2005 01:04 PM
For the whole archive, yes.

Boofo 08-01-2005 01:09 PM
For some reason, that didn't work. :(

Andreas 08-01-2005 01:10 PM
Hmm .. it should.
You edited the correct index.php (rember there are three of them), right?

Boofo 08-01-2005 01:13 PM
The archive index.php, right?

Andreas 08-01-2005 01:16 PM
Yes. Just tested, does work for me.

Boofo 08-01-2005 01:24 PM
Ok, where exactly did you put it? I did it right after the opening php tag and right before the ending one.

Andreas 08-01-2005 01:26 PM
Above
PHP Code:
// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ####################################################################### 
And above the closing Tag.

Boofo 08-01-2005 01:31 PM
Damn! It still shows the actual [you] tag and not the username in the archive post. I did the edit exactly as you said, too. :(

Boofo 08-01-2005 01:34 PM
Scratch that last post. It works. ;)

I'm too embarrassed to admit what I did so that will be MY secret (like the thread creationtime?) ;)

Boofo 08-01-2005 01:40 PM
This line is giving me fits:

PHP Code:
 echo str_replace('[username'], $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $output); 
I am getting an error with it.

EDIT:

I changed it to this and I no longer get any errors.

PHP Code:
 echo str_replace('[username]', $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $output); 
But it's just not working. I can still see the tag in the past in the archive. :(

Andreas 08-01-2005 02:11 PM
Yeah, that was a typo :)
Hmm, don't know why it isn't working for you - works for me.

Boofo 08-01-2005 02:14 PM
Is there another way to do it then? It's got me stumped.

Andreas 08-01-2005 02:18 PM
Think so. But IMHO the way I posted is the easiest.

PM me FTP details and i'll take a look.

Boofo 08-02-2005 12:22 PM
I found the problem. I was using [username] in the first variable where I should have been using [you]. DUH on me! ;)

It works like a charm now. ;)

Thank you, sir. ;)

Brandon Sheley 08-17-2005 06:48 AM
hm, i can't seem to get it. i just put the php code in the arcive.index and it shoudl show the userid when [username] is typed ? in the title and in the body ? cuz it doesn't show for me. do i have to activate something ?

havefun 10-14-2005 01:02 PM
working fine, THX kirby :)

Extreme John 10-25-2005 04:34 AM
Wow first time working with code like this and it was a charm, you rock Andreas thank you, I have been looking for this forever for both versions.

Nutz 10-27-2005 11:54 PM
Quick question; how come when you use quick edit and enter [username] it is displayed as "[username]" not "KerbyDE"?

Thanks,
Mat

WiBu 01-31-2006 02:44 PM
Very nice. Could be very useful in a lot of situations.

TheMusicMan 02-05-2006 07:35 PM
When I edit the post, then save, it shows [username] and not themusicman or whatever???

Borgs8472 02-05-2006 09:20 PM
^ ^
yeah.

If you 'go advanced' it gets fixed, however it's no longer dynamic...

TheMusicMan 02-16-2006 02:12 PM
^ Thanks.

Is there any way this can be enhanced so as only Admins/Smods/Mods can use it? Is there a conditional I can wrap around the php code to effect this?

Cheers.
