Ok here's a major overhaul of the /me command, this version rewrite the /me line to [action=username]text[/username]. This solution provides better cusomization and easier usage. Plus it also work in other plugins that parse bb code.

By default it forces a definition for [action] but you can simply override is by specifing it in the custom bbcode.
The default replacement is: <span style="font-weight: bold;">* {option} {param}</span>

This product also contains a few plugins postfixed with "(legacy support)" (disabled by default). This adds backwards compatibility for posts that only have the old "/me ..." stuff. However, the legacy code has a minor bug where "/me" is used inside a quote.

Also an entry for "/me" is added to the vbCode overview page.

with legacy mode active im seeing stuff like this:

has a return after it:
* Moparx waves<br />

has a smilie next to it:
* Moparx starts up a fire pit. <img src="images/smilies/evil.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Evil" class="inlineimg" />

[El_Muerte]

ah... figures.. ok here's a fix. Replace the content of the "/me main" plugin with:

if (!function_exists("bbcode_irc_me"))
{
  $bbcode_irc_me_parser = null;

  function bbcode_irc_me($username, $text)
  {
    global $bbcode_irc_me_parser, $vbulletin;
    if ($bbcode_irc_me_parser == null)
      $bbcode_irc_me_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

    $mask = $bbcode_irc_me_parser->tag_list["option"]["action"]["html"];
    $res = str_replace(array("%2\$s", "%1\$s"), array($username, $text), $mask);
    return $res;
  }
}

$ircme_pattern = "/(^|\s)\/me ([^\r\n]+)/is";

the produced HTML however isn't validator valid, but shouldn't produce rendering issues.

or install the newer product .xml

[Boofo]

Wouldn't this reg ex work just as well?

PHP Code:

 #^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim

How do we get it to show up in highlight or a certain color?

Also, how do we avoid this?

The * Boofo hack is working now.

If /me comes after the first word, it shouldn't be parsed.

[El_Muerte]

to change the way the /me is displayed simply add the [action] vbcode tag.

for example the replacement:

<span style="font-weight: bold; color: red;">* {option} {param}</span>

will make "/me does this" be displayed as:
* El_Muerte does this

in order for /me to only be replaced at the beginning of a line edit the "/me main" plugin to use the regex:

PHP Code:

$ircme_pattern = "/(^|\n|\r)\/me ([^\r\n]+)/is"; 


or you could simply add to something like "the [noprase]/me[/noparse] doesn't work now"

wth, why does [ color=red]text[/color] make the text green?!

[Moparx]

thanks again El_Muerte.
Your product is working perfectly

[Salazar]

doesn't work for me in 3.5.0

I uploaded the plugin but it doesn't do anything me text is still displayed as "/ me does something" (without space of course)

Any ideas? And yes, I activated the plugin.

EDIT: Nevermind, it works now

@Salazar -- You need to upload this as a product. Use the link from El_Muerte's post. I can confirm this is working on 3.5 Gold.

@ El_Muerte -- thanks, working like a charm in big, bold red. Question -- what are the disabled legacy support plugins for? Can those just be deleted?

[Moparx]

if you used previous /me hacks (say on 3.0.x) the legacy mode will allow them to be shown correctly
