hey people, I finished the cp so you can turn it on/off but it is working and I'll get directions written asap.

just wanted to throw out a couple other ideas/mods to you

these also work if you wanted to get real crazy

PHP Code:

            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youemail)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[email], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youhome)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[homepage], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youtitle)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[usertitle], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youbday)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[birthday], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youarea)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field2], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(yousex)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field7], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youint)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field3], $bbcode); 


you'd have to modify the custom fields to fit your site, but this should give you the basic idea. All profile fields including custom fields can be used!!

if you'd like to give your staff a little help

you can change this line

PHP Code:

$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $bbcode); 


to this

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7) {
                $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "<b><i><a title=\"[you] code\">".$bbuserinfo[username]."</a></i></b>", $bbcode);
            } else {
                $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $bbcode);
            } 


that way mods and admins will see the name in bold and mousing over gives you notice that it's the [you] code

PS - if you wanted to restrict usage to certain usergroups, bbuserinfo wouldn't do it. you'd need to check the usergroupid of the person who posted. bbuserinfo is for the person reading the post
