/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!

Can you make this color changeable with different styles. Cause I have more than 1 style, and yellow goes good with my dark style, but not my light style. Maybe add a place for it in the sytles/colors area of admin cp.

/me is surprised by Firefly's new avatar

it uses { timecolor} by default. You surely have ONE replacement-color that you can use in all your styles?

Thats odd, when I use { timecolor } it doesn't use the color I specified for my time color, it uses bright green (a default color usually assigned to a unassigned color value)

/me dances

/me likes toast

/me created a monster

Anyway, Velocd, use {timecolor} (i.e without the spaces around { and }).
