/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!

Here's what I got this time when I quoted (and still no color to it)

Well yeah, it will show up colored when you view it.

[Boofo]

The color shows up right but only if you quote the message. When do a regular private message with it, there is no color. Here's how it shows up.

Also, the message title is all weird now. The following is what the title of the message is in the listing.

* Boofo likes this [/color] ">* Boofo wants this to work [/quote...">Re: testing me code color [deny receipt]

We're almost there though.

You need vbhacker to run the php install file.

Sorry to bother you, Chen, but did you get a chance to look at the code again for the color and the message title yet?
