/me vB Code

Here's a another not-very-useful-yet-fun hack.

It's very simple, it just mimics IRC's /me action. So if you type this:
/me runs fast
(note: it must be on its own line!)
It will become:
[high]* FireFly runs fast
[/high]
It parses this code in showthread.php and private.php, only.

After you install the hack, find this line in functions.php:

	  $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"{timecolor}\">* $post[username] \\1</font>", $bbcode);

And change {timecolor} to whatever color you want the line to be.

Forgot to mention, you must install this fix by smachol:

For this hack to work! (thanks Kura for reminding me)

READ:
To fix the bug where users who quote other people get the /me tag messed up, replace this code in newreply.php:

    $pagetext = preg_replace("/(\[quote])(.*)(\[\/quote])/siU", "", $pagetext);

With this:

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

Attached is the vbHacker install file, and a plain text file is in the next post.

Enjoy!

This is what I ahve in newrepy:

$postdate=vbdate($dateformat,$postinfo[dateline]);
    $posttime=vbdate($timeformat,$postinfo[dateline]);
    $pagetext=$postinfo[pagetext];
    $pagetext = trim(preg_replace("/(\[quote])(.*)(\[\/quote])/siU", "", $pagetext));
    eval("\$message = \"".gettemplate("quotereply",1,0)."\";");
    	
  }
}

How do I add the code fix? Also, how do I fix the preview view?

[ogden2k]

Actually, I got it fixed. Thanks anyways!

When making a new reply if you scroll down and read the past posts, it still shows

/me

and does not convert those phrases... Would it be possible to do this?
