Must Have First Posters Username In Your reply form

[BigJohnson]

I was wondering if someone can help me with this. I am looking for a feature for my message board.

People post information about quads and other 4 wheel and 2 wheel vehicles on my forum.

I was wondering if only in these forums this feature can work

13, 17, 19, 20, 26, 27, 33, 34, 44, 45, 51, 52, 58, 59

For ever reply in these forum ids you need to have the FIRST POSTERS username somewhere in your reply box. If not then you are taken to a template that I will make as an error screen. I hope someone can help me out. Thanks.

This is just for the reason that no one notices the people that post information and just read the posts. This helps them understand that this person has posted this info to help you out. Thanks s much.

open newreply.php find this:

PHP Code:

  // check for subject and message
  $message=trim($message);
  if ($message=="") {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nosubject")."\");");
    exit;
  } 


after that add:

PHP Code:

if (in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], array(13, 17, 19, 20, 26, 27, 33, 34, 44, 45, 51, 52, 58, 59))) {
    $getfirst=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT postid,post.userid,dateline,user.username FROM post LEFT JOIN user USING(userid) WHERE threadid='$threadid' ORDER BY dateline LIMIT 1");
  if(!strstr($message,$getfirst['username'])) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nofirstusername")."\");");
}


} 


then create a template error_nofirstusername and write your message there

One more thing. How can I make this so it is not capitalization sensative. Like if someone name is UsErNaMe all i can type in the reply box is username instead of the other way. Please help thanks.

[Xenon]

instead of this

PHP Code:

if(!strstr($message,$getfirst['username'])) { 


use this

PHP Code:

if(!strstr(strtoupper($message),strtoupper($getfirst['username']))) {
