[Edgewize]

Great hack; I customized it pretty heavily to add support for private messages, message preview, and to respect bbcode-disabled flags. I also think that this will work no matter what font is currently in use, and it will never generate non-XHTML-compliant output (even when tags are badly overlapped).

[high]* Edgewize clicks install because without Erwin, I'd never have started!

I put the following a file called hack_me.php:

(NOTE: had to mangle the color tags to get it to post right. replace Xcolor with color in six places!)

<?php
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'newreply' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
        $pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$postinfo['username'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (THIS_SCRIPT == 'private' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
        $pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$pm['fromusername'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && is_array($GLOBALS['post']))
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '[Xcolor=#008811]$1* '.$GLOBALS['post']['username'].' $3[/Xcolor]', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && $GLOBALS['previewpost'])
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '[Xcolor=#008811]$1* '.$GLOBALS['bbuserinfo']['username'].' $3[/Xcolor]', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && isset($GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']))
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '[Xcolor=#008811]$1* '.$GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']['username'].' $3[/Xcolor]', $bbcode);
?>

Then added the line

@include('hack_me.php');

in the following places:

includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php  around line 323, immediately after:
        global $DB_site, $vboptions, $bbuserinfo, $templatecache, $smiliecache;
        global $html_allowed;

newreply.php  around line 96, immediately after
        $pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext));

private.php  around line 1156, immediately after
        $pagetext = trim($pagetext);

(Note: to change the color, change the three color tags in hack_me.php)

First post, baby! And hello Erwin, I totally forgot that you post here as well as at EV1servers
