/me function as in IRC

Hi all,

I have some IRC users on my board, so they would like a /me function with is translated to * <username>

It works fine, except if someone is quoting the message. The wrong username is shown.

Anybody an idea how to solve this ?

this hack is originally by FireFly as i know, but i think he got the same problem didn't he?

you have to edit newreply.php:

find this:

PHP Code:

    $pagetext=$postinfo[pagetext];
    $pagetext = trim(preg_replace("/(\[quote])(.*)(\[\/quote])/siU", "", $pagetext));
    if ($postinfo[visible]) {
      eval("\$message = \"".gettemplate("quotereply",1,0)."\";");
    } 


before that add your code a bit modified:

PHP Code:

$s = $postinfo[pagetext];
$i = strpos(" " . $s, "/me ");
if ($i > 0)
{
    $j = strpos(" " . $s, "<br", $i + 1);
    $j = ($j == 0) ? strpos(" " . $s, "<", $i + 1) : $j;
    if ($j != 0)
        $s = substr($s, 0, $i - 1) . "[color=red]* " . $postinfo[username] . substr($s, $i + 2, $j - $i - 3) . "[/color]" . substr($s, $j - 1, strlen($s));
    else
        $s = substr($s, 0, $i - 1) . "[color=red]* " . $postinfo[username] . substr($s, $i + 2, strlen($s)) . "[/color]";
}
$postinfo[pagetext] = $s;

Thanks! I didn't find his hack but he did many already

np, you're welcome

also be sure you quote my post here to get the sourcecode correct, it has vb-code in it which is parsed in showthread

[DrkFusion]

I hate parsed vBcode.

Xenon would you know the quoting of /me was an original problem? I may have to apply your little fix ther

[Xenon]

not only you Arunan

hmm i don't know if it was an original problem, i have never used the hack, but i thought it could have been a problem
