/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!

Just testing ... I guess not!

never mind then! Actually, if you put /me in quotes when it hasn't already been said (already been converted in the original post) then it doesn't work. Then again.. I guess it's not supposed to anyway

Did you fix it Erwin

[Boofo]

Erwin, will this work in pms now, too, sir?

It works anywhere BBCode is used by the looks of it.

The vB2 version didn't unless you put it in the private.php file, too.

Yes, but when you reply with a quote, it does not work properly. This has been an issue since vB2.

They did come out with a fix for that in vB2. I have it here if it would help at all. And they also had to do some code in the private.php to get it to work in pms.
