/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!

I saw a few other people mention this problem, but I have no clue why it's only affecting a handful of us (and have less of a clue how no one identified why their /me codes were showing up as bright green)

As stated above, the /me code shows up as bright green. That's because it's outputting this into the html:

PHP Code:

<font color="{timecolor}"> 


Any clue why it's doing that? I'm sure that's what's preventing the { timecolor } (without the spaces) to show up..

This hack does'nt work with the "Admins and mods can post HTML" from Entourage:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...lways+use+HTML

Altough he suggests a code replacement i can't see wich lines must be replaced to let them work together.

For some odd reason I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/videogam/public_html/testsexy/admin/functions.php on line 816

and this one

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vbsetcookie() in /home/videogam/public_html/testsexy/admin/sessions.php on line 204

This is what is on line 817 (I dont see why this would be effecting anything :/)

		$buffer = str_replace(""", "\"", $buffer);

For the colour, I want it to show that style's body text colour, however putting {bodytextcolor} in place of {timecolor} doesn't work! How can I make it so it reads the bodytextcolor?

[kill yourself]

how would you make it bold..

so it would say

/me blah blah blah
but in bold.
