/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!

It must be a conflict with another poorly written hack because all that my code does is insert code tags before and after the /me line, as if they were typed by the user himself. There is no way that vB tags can cause a post or a thread to just 'disappear' unless some custom change has been made to the bbcode parser.

For the record, the original hack_me version that I posted in this thread works fine for my vB 3.0 Gold sites.

I went back to using your code. I couldn't get any of the others to work everywhere.

Oops, right after I say that, I discover a problem New version fixes a very obscure bug with one-line quotes. Just a minor display bug, could accidentally change the color of text that came right before a /me. Check the original post:

What did you change in it? I see the s is gone and a t is added. Anything else?

And I wanted to ask. How come if I use highlight instead of color=, all the /me lines are in bold?

[Edgewize]

All the occurrances of \s were replaced with [ \t] (that's [(space)\t]). \s also matches newlines, so that could get into trouble and match too much in very particular situations. Also, the parenthesis groups were shifted around a bit, but I can't remember why

I have no idea why highlight would do that. As you can see, it just inserts a tag before any bbcode processing is done ... does your highlight normally make things bold?

Its still a nice hack. Thank you very much.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if the highlight tags does that also, or not. I never paid much attention to it until now. Where would that code be on vB3, do you know?

[TouchingVirus]

The highlight code appears in functions_bbcode.php at line 203..i think this is what you were looking for..

PHP Code:

// [HIGHLIGHT]
    $bbcodes['custom']['find']['[highlight]'] = '#\[highlight\](.*)\[/highlight\]#esiU';
    $bbcodes['custom']['replace']['[highlight]'] = "handle_bbcode_parameter('\\1', '" . str_replace("'", "\'", '<span class="highlight">\1</span>') . "')";
    $bbcodes['custom']['recurse']['highlight'][0] = array('replace_html' => "<span class=\"highlight\">\\7</span>"); 


[Boofo]

Why would it be in bold when I use it with this hack? Any idea?

[sabret00the]

ok i've enhanced this code for the benefit of sites with multiple stylesets (conflicting colours)

1. Open includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:

PHP Code:

         $bbcode = str_replace(array('>|||)', '<|||)', '"|||)'), array('>)', '<)','")'), $bbcode);
     } // end smilies 


UNDERNEATH, ADD:

PHP Code:

 // /me Hack
       global $post;
      $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<span class=\"highlight\">* $post[username] \\1</span>", $bbcode);
 // /me Hack 


2. Open newreply.php:

Find:

PHP Code:

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


UNDERNEATH, ADD:

PHP Code:

 // /me Hack
                 $pagetext = preg_replace('#^/me(.*)$#im', "* $originalposter\\1", $pagetext);
 // /me Hack 


Done and you also maintain XHTML compliancy
