Smilies in user titles

This is a very simple, yet fun hack that I made on my site. It allows the user titles to have smilies in them.

Here is the thread view and the profile view of the hack:

It is accomplished by adding one line of code to the following files:

forumdisplay.php
member.php
private.php
admin/functions.php

In forumdisplay.php:
Look for the following code:

PHP Code:

     if ($announcement[customtitle]==2) {
       $announcement[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($announcement[usertitle]);
                 } 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

     if ($announcement[customtitle]==2) {
       $announcement[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($announcement[usertitle]);
                 }
     $announcement[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($announcement[usertitle]); 


In member.php
Look for the following code:

PHP Code:

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("getinfo")."\");"); 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

  $userinfo[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($userinfo[usertitle]);
  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("getinfo")."\");"); 


In private.php
Look for the following code:

PHP Code:

    if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
      $post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
    } 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

    if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
      $post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
    }
    $post[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($post[usertitle]); 


In admin/functions.php
Look for the following code:

PHP Code:

                if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
                        $post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
                } 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

                if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
                        $post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
                }
                $post[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($post[usertitle]);

Nice. I dunno if I'll use it right away (server problems), but nice indeed.

Is it possible to make it so we can use vBcode in usertitles too? And be able to, through the adminCP disable certain vBcodes from being used?

[Zzed]

Link14716, thank you. You are very kind.

Tha Rock, this hack will allow you to use VBcode in the title. To disable certain VBcodes would require additional coding.

That's pretty cool. Too bad most admins on my board seem to have an angry attitiude towards smilies. I even had to completely remove them from posts .

You have harsh admins!

I can't get them to show up. All I see is the code for the smile next to the name. Ok, Zzed, what am I doing wrong this time?

Hmm, which file is giving you problem?

Can you Email it/them to me at edwink@seebeyond.com?

I guess I should learn the difference between usertitle and unsername, huh? My fault. Duhhh!!! (Sorry about that). But there is the user part that is the same. Does that count?

I have 2 additions for you, though. I have the usertitle in the memberlist and on the foumhome. So here is the code I added to those files.

In root/memberlist.php
Look for the following code:

$userinfo[datejoined]=vbdate($dateformat,$userinfo[joindate]);

And add the following AFTER it:

$userinfo[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($userinfo[usertitle]);
$userinfo[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($userinfo[usertitle]);

In root/index.php
Look for the following code:

// get total posts

And add the following ABOVE it:

$bbuserinfo[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($bbuserinfo[usertitle]);
$bbuserinfo[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($bbuserinfo[usertitle]);

Without sounding to stupid.... How do you add the smilies?
