/me support?

Back on my MyBB board I had support for /me. For instance...

[high]* Outlaw Mantis is eating a sandwich
[/high]
Becomes...
Outlaw Mantis is eating a sandwich

Kind of pointless but fun feature. I can't find such a plugin. Is it possible on vBulletin? I know it probably is with BBcode but that's a bit cumbersome for a lot of users. :p

That would be easy to do with a plugin...do you want the string /me to be changed to the username of the author of the post, or to the name of the user viewing the post?

To have "/me" replaced with the username of the post author and "/you" replaced with the username of the user viewing the post, create a plugin hooked at "postbit_display_complete" with the PHP code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$post['message'] = str_replace(array('/me', '/you'), array($post['username'], $vbulletin->userinfo['username']), $post['message']);

[high]* Outlaw Mantis works great. I'm just waiting on another member to test /you. One thing is that the /you text appears blank to the poster, but that's no big deal if it works with other members.[/high]

Thanks, you're a genius. :D

The string "/you" should show your username, even if you are the author of the post. That's what it does on my local dev site at least. :)

Could it be to do with the execution order?

Knowing me I've done something stupid. :p

I used the default of 5. :)

This plugin code is more robust:

PHP Code:


		
			
$post['message'] .= ' ';

$post['message'] = preg_replace('/\/you([^A-Za-z_])/i', $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . "$1", $post['message']);

$post['message'] = preg_replace('/\/me([^A-Za-z_])/i', $post['username'] . "$1", $post['message']);

It will ignore strings like "/meat" and "/yourname" for example. :)

I updated the code, but the problem persists. I'll PM you a link so perhaps you can inspect the source. Thanks.
