Converting username text to url

I created a function I was wondering if I could have someone look it over. It pretty much takes the text in a post and looks for a username, and if there is one, it will mark it up as url and usergroup color. Anyway heres the code.

PHP Code:


		
			
function convert_username_to_url($text1)

{

    global $vbulletin;



    if ($vbulletin->$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0)

    {

        $userSearchQuery = $vbulletin->db->query_read("

        SELECT userid, usergroupid, displaygroupid, username

        FROM' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'user

        ");

        

        While ($customuser = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($userSearchQuery))

        {

            fetch_musername($customuser);

            $userSearch = array($customuser[username]);

            $userReplace =     '<a href="member.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "u=$customuser[userid]\">$customuser[musername]</a>";

        }

        

    }

    $text = str_replace($userSearch, $userReplace, $text1);

                    

    return $text;

}

Again if you could take a look that would be awesome. I know html, I'm trying to learn php. Thanks

That will potentially fail miserably on a forum with a lot of users. There is really no practical way to do this on a large scale.

Is there anyway to do this by using a bbcode?

You could create bbcode for your users to use:

HTML Code:

<a href="/forums/member.php?username={param}">{param}</a>

Also any chance that would be able to mark it up to the usergroup color? :)

What I wrote is just a simple bbcode to do the username. If you want the usergroup color, you'd have to write some actual code to get it.

just one more question.... to do the color, the code I would create, would I put the code in the replacement box or would I have to create a function or hook? I know you can only use html in the replacement box so I guess I couldn't use any variables correct?

Sorry im a noob. I just don't know how the whole bbcode replacement box works for vbulletin.

You would have to write a plugin, I believe. I've never done anything with the bbcode, so I'm not exactly sure how you would go about it. I've seen threads here about it though, so just do a search and you should find some info.

Please tell me I'm close:

PHP Code:


		
			
$custom_bbcode = 'user';

$this->tag_list['no_option'][$user_bbcode] = array ();
$this->tag_list['no_option'][$user_bbcode]['callback'] = 'handle_external';
$this->tag_list['no_option'][$user_bbcode]['external_callback'] = 'handle_my_user_bbcode';

if (!function_exists ('handle_my_user_bbcode')) {
    function handle_my_user_bbcode (&$theobj, &$value, &$option) {

        $fetchuser = $db->query("
        SELECT userid, usergroupid, displaygroupid
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
            WHERE username = $value
        ");
        $name = array();
        while ($user = $db->fetch_array($fetchuser))
        {
            fetch_musername($user);
            $name = '<a href="member.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "u=$user[userid]\">$user[musername]</a>";

        return $name;
    }
}

Keep getting this in my shoutbox:

Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in W:\Forums\includes\class_bbcode.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 33

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in W:\Forums\includes\class_bbcode.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 33

line 360 and down

PHP Code:


		
			
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('bbcode_parse_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

        if (!empty($parsedtext))
        {
            if ($parsedhasimages)
            {
                return $this->handle_bbcode_img($parsedtext, $dobbimagecode, $parsedhasimages);
            }
            else
            {
                return $parsedtext;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            return $this->do_parse($text, $dohtml, $dosmilies, $dobbcode, $dobbimagecode, $donl2br, $cachable);
        }

I don't know if it's correct or not, but I do see that you have three beginning and two end parenthesis in the first code box you posted and that will cause an error (they don't add up correctly).
