Miscellaneous Hacks - [you] Replacement

Here it is! The [you] hack ported over to vB 3.7 beta 4.

I have ported this over to vBulletin 3.7 beta 4, but it should work on all 3.7 versions. It now works board-wide (posts and thread titles), in the archive, and also in the quick post in the profile. If there are any areas you find that this doesn't work in, let me know and I will add the code for that area.

Thanks goes out to KirbyDE for making the first version for 3.5 possible. Without him, I'd STILL be trying to figure out the best way to do this for vB 3.5. Thanks, buddy!

Description:
This will replace the [you] variable (board-wide) with the viewing user's username.

Installation:
1 product xml
(No file edits)

Upload the product xml and you're all set!

Enjoy!

NOTE: If you do not click install, you do not need support.

Hi there,

I would like to know if it is possible to insert some type of conditional in a plugin, so I restrict the [you] plugins only to one thread
Like this

<if condition="$thread[threadid] == xx">
Use my trick
<else />
dont use it
</if>

maybe this needs a PHP conditional in the shape of

if (!$vbulletin->thread['threadid'] AND $vbulletin->thread['xx']) {
plugin code;
}

Any quick help is appreciated.

Well, yes you can but it really would be better to exclude it from a forum or forums. I was thinking of adding a setting to exclude it for certain forums. Would that work?

Works nice! Works good with atkin marquee.

can we just give it to one group
like admin or mod

I suppose I could add a setting for usergroups. But what I did is replace the word you with my own special word that only I know. I might do a setting for that, now that you mention it, so you can chose which word you want it to be. That would make this a lot more configurable. Watch for an update soon.

Any of those setting would be good, but personally I prefer an include rather than exclude option if possible. Better have an option to include the forumids where it can be used. Some may have well over 100 forums and its a pain to type each forumid where they dont want it, whiel they could just add their "Off Topic" or "Jokes" forumid and its all good.

Its still your call though

I'm not sure how to handle that as most people would use it forum-wide. I have the usergroups and you replacement word settings done for it. I had the exclude forums almost done but now I see I'm going to need to find out which way everyone prefers it. I will wait and see what everyone else wants as far as the forum ids and then we'll go with the majority. How does that sound?

Cool friend, as much as you bring it here i dont mind.

My personal preference was to have an option to limit it within a single thread, but since that seems not possible at the moment, then i guess forumids will work.

Also do you know in which vB hooks connected to this Chatbox product i can insert your plugins so the you hack works here

Thank you and I'm glad you like it. Now, if I could only read what was posted and understand it, I would be all set. LOL
