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.

Sorry mate.

Reason I am replying to this constantly is your mods/hacks are superb. Hence I want to see what this one does.

If it does something, surely a screenpic is possible.

Perhaps, we have other products that conflict with this.. i really dont know.

this is my original hack from back in the v2 days. over the years I had added to it. one of the features I had added was to be able to limit it to specific forums via the forum manager.

Enable / Disable Features
Allow HTML
Allow BB Code
Allow [IMG] Code
Allow [YOU] Code

any plans on doing this for your 3.7 version?

also I had added the ability to use things like [YOU-EMAIL], [YOU-ID], & [YOU-IP]. I'd want to re-implement them but I was recently emailed by a user who pointed out that someone could post a scripted image to return the readers you code info. any suggestions on how I could avoid that? i certainly don't want someone lifting my users email address & ip.

thanks

This is based on that but uses plug-ins now and all new code.

PM me when you have time and we will see what we can come up with. Some of your additions
sound good.

yeah, I'm looking at your code now. it's tiny. very simple. nice

looking at how to do what I want. added the forum option. just gotta make it work with your code. pretty sure i should be able to handle it with a if this script = showthread deal.

thanks

I don't have it working with the email notification yet. Haven't found the right hook to get it work there. PM me when you get the changes made as I would like to look at it, if possible.

tweaked it to check my foruminfo setting but I had to add

global $foruminfo;

to your global_complete plugin. how bad is that? do you think it would effect anything negatively?

the way i have it setup not it does your output replacement if the script is showthread or forumdisplay & enable_youcode is on for that forum. I know you have it on all over the place but for me, I want to limit it down to just the 1 joke forum. having it on everywhere would cause complete chaos on my site.

[Boofo]

Can you send me what you have when you are finished with it? I want to see how you did it. Did you figure out the email notification?

Is it possible to only allow this for some usegroups?
