/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!

Scrooge make sure its on its own line for example, /me testing wont work cause its on this line with the rest of this text but

/me testing

will

It's weird, I post the /me posts and they looks like /me something, but to others they look right. Also other's /me posts look right to me.

what can I do about this ?

[firewars]

Although having "fixed" the newreply.php it shows /me x in the post-view under the reply field

[firewars]

Woops nevermind.
But could this be included?
I mean showing previous posts with the /me-hack included?

[[D]Vincent]

I installed it into my forums and did everything listed but still doesn't work, anyone know why?

/me cant isnatall it on vbb 2.2.6 :S

[Boofo]

When I quote someone who has used the /me code in a private message, it changes the /me code to my name on the reply quote. I did the fix you stated for it (there were 2 instances of it in the newreply.php so i replaced both of them) and it still changes it to my name. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
