/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!

Originally posted by kill yourself
how would you make it bold..

so it would say

* kill yourself blah blah blah
but in bold.

In functions.php, find:

PHP Code:

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


Replace with:

PHP Code:

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


As simple as that.

I got the problem with the green as well, I just edited the time color posted above to the actual color I wanted.

$bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"#2D3851\">* $post[username] \\1</font>", $bbcode);

Did anybody see that "/me" is not translated in any way if I look at the topic review when I do a post reply ?

I solved this by adding this code in newreply.php :
(I use the vBcode style [me=user] [/me] solution)

find in newreply.php :

PHP Code:

  $threadreviewbits = '';
  while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts)) {
    if ($postcounter++ < $maxposts) { 


after this add :

PHP Code:

$post[pagetext] = preg_replace('#^/me(.*)$#im', "[me=$post[username]]\\1[/me]", $post[pagetext]); 


One other thing : I have a user with a ' in his name : B'Ram. The vBcode parser failes when [me=B'Ram] is used. How can this be solved ?
