Note: This hack will only work on PHP 4.0.5 and higher. Sorry for all the others (anyone still using these old versions?!).

Anyhow, this is a great little hack, and most importantly very very fun for the masses.
It gives your users the ability to use {bbusername} in their post, and it will mysteriously be changed into the viewer's username when he reads the page.

Demo:
FireFly <!-- auto name hack -->

You can detect this hack is in action by viewing the HTML source of the page. You will see <!-- auto name hack --> next to the name in the source.

You can this hack used in action here as well:

This hack also contains a small optimization to vBulletin, which removes a lot of calls to str_replace() and replaces that with only one (which is why this hack only works with PHP 4.0.5 and up).

Have fun, I know you will.

It's possible to limit this hack to admins, yes.
Replace this:

  $replacewords=array(0 => "$bbuserinfo[username]<!-- auto name hack -->");

with this:

  $replacewords=array(0 => iif($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6,"$bbuserinfo[username]<!-- auto name hack -->",'{bbusername}'));

i tried this, but now the joke works only for admins, they see their username instead of {bbusername }.

all other users now see the variable instead of their usernames?

is there a possibility to limit the posting of replacements only to special usergroups?

For some reason i couldnt fin the first line in the txt file in my functions.php ?
im using 2.24 and i think thats why, would it be possible to update this hack? thanks

Its not working by me...
I am on 2.2.5... I did remove the line according to Smachol... and I did try the =bbusername= in functions.php and when posting.

I do not get the unsername displayed... just {bbusername}

Is it to send an email too?

[zeedy2k]

ok, I added this and it works ok except for one thing, when I add the {bbusername} to the subject it works, but in the actual post it doesnt work.

Help Please

[Admin]

Have you installed the "Fix" from smachol?

[zeedy2k]

call me dumb of whatever, but I can seem to find smachol's fix,

Anyone got the Direct URL to it?

[zeedy2k]

found it

I tried to install this but I have the midrostats hack installed so I couldn't find the code I needed to change like it is in the text file. Also, what is the $fullpm part of the code it needs to replace? That wasn't in there at all. Does anyone know how I can do this with microstats installed on 2.2.5?

global $DB_site,$replacementsetid,$gzipoutput,$gziplevel,$newpmmsg,$fullpm;

Did anyone fix this so only an admin can have the ability to post using it but everyone can view it?
