/me code Version 3 · **Released**: 01-04-2004

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!

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!
[/high]

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!)

Code:

<?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

Code:

@include('hack_me.php');

in the following places:

Code:

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

/you ... what does this do?

the you tag sounds more interesting though..

think of users using.
Example i post a message like:

[you] is a nice member

When rest of members of board read that message it. it appears to them as
[Member Reasing the post name] is a nice member

what do u think ??

I'm putting the install file together for it now. I did this a while back for my site for vB3 but I needed to get the archive code set right so the [you] code wouldn't show up there. I have it up and working now at my site if you would like to check it out.

I need someone to make sure I got all the places it can show up at (in case I missed any).

ChuanSE · #86 03-12-2004, 05:44 AM

i didn't manage to get a answer for you boofo :/
I guess it doesn't work in my private forum...

But hey, you made some real cool mods on your board

That's because on my site I don't use [you]. I use a different word so I don't get it overused and abused on the board too soon.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad to have you aboard.

BBQ · #88 03-12-2004, 01:14 PM

Installed on RC4, works like a charm

Well that is, it works fine in a new thread and new reply.
Works fine in quoting a post with a /me in it.

Doesn't work when you edit the orig /me post, you loose the username then. But you can always add /me befor eit again. Plus editting is not done often.

[high]* BBQ is happy but he already installed this on beta 7 and pressed install a few pages in this thread back
