Global use of $post[usertitle]

[Chris Gwynne]

Hey

I need a hack that will allow the global use of $post[usertitle] which means it'll show up on any page where a username is shown, rather than just postbit and member info.

Any hack exist for this, or is it possible?

Anybody have any ideas?

You want someone's user title on any page? Use $vbulletin->userinfo[usertitle], not $post[usertitle]. Or, I think $bbuserinfo[usertitle] works also for the same thing, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Make a plugin for it:
*Hook Location: Global Complete*

$output = str_replace('[usertitle]', $vbulletin->userinfo['usertitle'], $output);

Then call it in your templates with [usertitle].

(I believe this is correct)

[Krofh]

ThePimp's method works, but you'll have to be careful because then it'll replace [usertitle] anywhere in the page, including if someone puts that in their post.

If you wish to display the viewer's usertitle in templates you'll have to use the $bbuserinfo[usertitle] variable.

Does that also work within phrases, as a lot of the usernames are within phrases as well. What'd be a way to integrate and bypass that?
