/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:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35894
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!

there is a little bug firefly, you can see it for yourself... the original / me code is replaced by my own name...
[/high]
however is easy to fix it... do this:
find:

PHP Code:

if ($dome) {
  global $post;
  $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"#FF9C58\">* $post[username] \\1</font>", $bbcode);
} 


replace it with:

PHP Code:

if ($dome) {
  global $post,$originalposter;
  $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"#FF9C58\">* $post[username] \\1</font>", $bbcode);
  if ($bbcodeid==6) {
    $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"#FF9C58\">* $originalposter \\1</font>", $bbcode);
  }
} 


ouuuupss i forgot a dollar.. fixed.

But it comes up like this on my forum:

* DWZ

When I edit the post, you know, see whats there, i see:

/me tests new hack

Link: http://www.consoleradar.com/forums/s...id=385#post385

Any ideas?

[TECK]

if ($dome) {
  global $post,$originalposter;
  $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"#FF9C58\">* $post[username] \1</font>", $bbcode);
  if ($bbcodeid==6) {
    $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"#FF9C58\">* $originalposter \1</font>", $bbcode);
  }
}

it helps if i add a $.. lol. try it and let me know.

hmm... i didnt try it, i went with the logic...
[high]* nakkid waits for firefly to hit him with the illogic bat... [/high]

[Chris M]

[high]* Chris M thinks that nakkid has a point, and awaits FireFly's repsonse...
[/high]

/me's alter-ego agrees wholeheartedly...



I would say it would not, but if you do try it, make sure you backup the files you edit!

Ok, fixed the bug, see post #1 for the fix.
It invloves editing newreply.php, BTW. Nakkid, I'd love to tell you what's wrong but I really don't know what you tried to do with your code... what's that $bbcodeid variable?

great, that worked

thanks

EDIT: been having a look, and im finding that when someone replies, it will say the person who original said, did that thing, but all the color is gone... you follow? this is what i mean: http://www.consoleradar.com/forums/s...id=399#post399 the post above that is what i said to start off with...

Now, I also just tested PMs, its basically the reverse, I have the original problem with it saying the person who wrote the reply is doing the action, yet it is in color.
