/me code Version 3

Updated version 2.00 thanks to buro9!

Updated version 3.00 thanks to Edgewize!

New in version 3.00:
Correct parsing in quotes, private messages etc.

Okay, this is the famous /me code first created by Chen. All credits go to him. I'm just putting up instructions on how to do this in vB3. It's very easy.

Typing "/me is great!" gives you this:

* Erwin is great!


You make changes to THREE php files only.

1. Copy this piece of code:

Change "red" to whatever color you want.

PHP Code:

// /me hack
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', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['post']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && $GLOBALS['previewpost'])
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['bbuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && isset($GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']))
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
// /me hack 


2. Open functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:

PHP Code:

} // end smilies 


PASTE code copied BELOW.

3. Open newreply.php

Find:

In 3.0.6 or less:

PHP Code:

$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext)); 


In 3.0.7:

PHP Code:

$pagetext = trim(htmlspecialchars_uni($pagetext)); 


PASTE code copied BELOW.

4. Lastly, open private.php

Find:

PHP Code:

$pagetext = trim($pagetext); 


PASTE code copied BELOW.

Done!

Well good and bad, discovered a nasty bug with that version of the hack, several threads became unviewable, obviously something in them that the hack was trying to parse. I've had to remove this hack and go back to Erwins version.

Sounds to me like you have something else going on somewhere interfering with this hack then. I have never run into that anywhere on my forum. All threads view fine. There's really no way that it can cause any threads not to view. All he is parsing in the hack is the /me code. :surprised:

[Frugal]

Dunno, it's probably clashing with another hack, but either way it causes problems for me. With Erwins version all threads open fine, with Edgewizes about 4 threads showed as blank pages.

Is that what you were testing on my site? You said it didn't work. What did you try to do?

I tried to paste in one of the problem posts from my board but unfortunately it was too long for your forum.

This is one of the posts it didn't like

*you need to copy and paste the url into a browser and change vB to v b b (without the spaces)

Funny enough I think all of the problem posts had a url with /me in it somewhere in the post, coincidence?
