[you] vbcode

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38069&highlight=vbcode" target="_blank">Inspired by FireFly's /me vB Code</a>

When reading the /me hack thread I started laughing at the idea of a [you] tag. This isn't much of a hack, but it was fun. Put [you] in the thread and it is replaced by the person's name who is reading the thread. if it is a guest, [you] is simply replace by the word you.

I had to change this to a text file to avoid problems. Should be fine now

Heh...

Seems like a cool hack!

I'll be sure to install it and check it out when I get my machine back up and running!

I've got a partial fix for it where it will show you (or whatever word you change it to in the second preg-replace statement) instead of [you], but I can't get it to replace it with the username yet. I am working on it and will release the fix as soon as I come up with it.

Completed working code for the forum navbar (if you make a forum with the [you] in it (like "[you]'s Personal Forum"). Thanks to Xenon for pointing out something I missed, that was really, really stupid of me.

In admin/functions.php, find:

PHP Code:

function makenav($id,$idtype="forum",$highlightlast=1) {
  global $DB_site,$nav_url,$nav_title,$session,$threadcache; 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

function makenav($id,$idtype="forum",$highlightlast=1) {
  global $DB_site,$nav_url,$nav_title,$session,$threadcache,$bbuserinfo; 


then find:

PHP Code:

      $nav_url="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$id";
      $nav_title=$foruminfo[title]; 


and BELOW it add:

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0) {
        $nav_title = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $nav_title);
    } else {
        $nav_title = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "you", $nav_title);
    }

Is there anyway to make it so when the user quotes your post it doesn't show up as [you]?

I believe in FireFly's /me hack when you quoted a post it didn't come up as /me.

Simple fix.

In the newreply.php, find:

PHP Code:

    eval("\$message = \"".gettemplate("quotereply",1,0)."\";"); 


and ABOVE it add:

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6) {
        $pagetext = trim(preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $pagetext));
    } else if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6) {
        $pagetext = trim(preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "you", $pagetext));
    } 


I did it this way so the Admin could still see it as [you] in case there was ever any question about it.

Mutt, you were right, there are almost too many changes to make to make this not show up in all of the places it can show up. I just got through spending the last 2 hours finding all of the places it can show up. I think I have them all nailed now. The only place left is the forum navbar. Still working on that one. Here is a list of all the files that need to be edited.

functions.php - 4 edits
showthread.php - 3 edits
index.php - 2 edits
usercp.php - 1 edit
forumdisplay.php - 3 edits
newreply.php - 1 edit
search.php - 1 edit
member.php - 1 edit
private.php - 3 edits
private2.php - 1 edit
