/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:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35894
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!

Chen,

I got part of the /me code fixed. The attachment shows that as long as you are quoting the code, it will show up in color. But when you first enter it in a message, it isn't in color. This is in private messaging. Is there another place we need to put the color statement?

i installed it

Strange enough, it doesn't work for me

I've done ALL the changes, and yet it doesn't work (the text acts as though there isn't any changes)

I.E. : /me wonders why this doesn't work <-- it shows like that

[chr@nox]

installed on 2.2.6
works like a charm

[high]* chr@nox bows for FireFly

not very usefull...but SUPERCOOL
hehe
thanx!

/me gets it and installs it as well

[Boofo]

Try having the [disable]/me[/disable] the first thing on the line and each line with it in it has to be on a separate line.

[high]* Boofo had this trouble at the beginning, too.
