[you] vbcode

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38069&highlight=vbcode" target="_blank">Inspired by FireFly's /me vB Code</a>

When reading the /me hack thread I started laughing at the idea of a [you] tag. This isn't much of a hack, but it was fun. Put [you] in the thread and it is replaced by the person's name who is reading the thread. if it is a guest, [you] is simply replace by the word you.

I had to change this to a text file to avoid problems. Should be fine now

thats why I didn't want to touch the subject. just way to many places to miss something and with little payback.

as for fixing the quote, yeah it's do-able and might be funny but quoting the message is sortof how people figure out it's not about them. I think I like it though and will do it. I made this forum controlable (on in some of in others like the IMG tag) and when I finish the cp I'll re-post. (right now, I just set the var via phpmyadmin so I could turn it off everywhere except our prank forum.)

I have about every base covered for this in vbulletin. If you want to check the file out, let me know, It's about 20K.

Being able to turn it off and on per forum would be great!

Is there a way to have this set up so only certain usergroups can use it? I can edit the code in functions.php, I suppose.

[chr@nox]

first of all, great hack! thanx alot

second..

isn't it easy to make it so to use the forum stuff?

so $forum[useyou] for example?

if you want i can post the changes for it

Greetings,

u can use if ($bbusergroup == 6 or $bbusergroup == 5) right?

If you mean if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]== 5), I thought about doing that but the idea to allow it in certain forums sounds better though.

hey people, I finished the cp so you can turn it on/off but it is working and I'll get directions written asap.

just wanted to throw out a couple other ideas/mods to you

these also work if you wanted to get real crazy

PHP Code:

            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youemail)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[email], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youhome)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[homepage], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youtitle)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[usertitle], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youbday)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[birthday], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youarea)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field2], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(yousex)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field7], $bbcode);
            $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youint)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field3], $bbcode); 


you'd have to modify the custom fields to fit your site, but this should give you the basic idea. All profile fields including custom fields can be used!!

if you'd like to give your staff a little help

you can change this line

PHP Code:

$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $bbcode); 


to this

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7) {
                $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "<b><i><a title=\"[you] code\">".$bbuserinfo[username]."</a></i></b>", $bbcode);
            } else {
                $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $bbcode);
            } 


that way mods and admins will see the name in bold and mousing over gives you notice that it's the [you] code

PS - if you wanted to restrict usage to certain usergroups, bbuserinfo wouldn't do it. you'd need to check the usergroupid of the person who posted. bbuserinfo is for the person reading the post

[Boofo]

Be looking forward to the update.

If you use all of these, wouldn't you have to go through all of the places to parse it out like with the first code? And I take it this goes in the functions.php with the first code, right?

$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youemail)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[email], $bbcode);
$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youhome)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[homepage], $bbcode);
$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youtitle)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[usertitle], $bbcode);
$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youbday)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[birthday], $bbcode);
$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youarea)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field2], $bbcode);
$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(yousex)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field7], $bbcode);
$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(youint)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[field3], $bbcode);

[Mutt]

just add those line right after

$bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $bbcode);

thats it

now for you it might be a ton more because you added it to subjects as well.
