BB Code Enhancements - [BB Code] /me

This mod replaces '/me was here' with '* {poster's username} was here'.

Requires PHP 5 or above.

Example:

/me is here

* Bananalive is here

The replacement occurs in the following places:

• EDITPOST preview
• NEWTHREAD preview
• SHOWPOST
• SHOWTHREAD

Remember to click INSTALLED.

v1.1 allows /me in mid-sentence

Go to plugin list and see which use the hook postbit_display_complete

Note: /me is also case-sensitive so, /ME won't work and /me must be right at the beginning of the line.

@Bananalive: I got an automatic update notification. What has been updated?

Nothing, I edited the text of the first post. It shouldn't have sent update notification.

I'm going to add /you code to next version of [BB Code] You

Hmmz... is there no way to make this so it works everywhere in a post instead of only at the beginning of a line?

Because now it works only in the beginning of a sentence and that's no real bbcode imho because bbcodes work everywhere.

Sorry guys, I recall asking Boofo about this last year.

What is this "me" thing people talk about.

I dont get it.

[Black Tiger]

@TimberFloorAu: Well.... the example says it all.
It's something which is blown over from IRC chats. The /me statement was kind of invented there.
It's another way (and much shorter) to put in your own name to a comment.
But like I already said.... the example says exactly what it does.

[TimberFloorAu]

Ok thanks.

Its not something I have ever used, and so wish all the people using it, lots of fun lol

Appreciate your reply :up:

Just in case Black Tiger as many members are not coders

See the example ^ i.e.

Example:

YOU type this in...

[high] * TheLastSuperman is here
[/high]

IT turns it into this after you hit post

* Bananalive is here

That is all, there are other mods that do other words or functions, use the search above to find them or start browsing if your interested.

okies thanks, so merely typing /me or in the other mods case /you adds your name automatically.

So the bbcode is parsed on the fly? or you have to type ?

PHP Code:

[me][/me] 


Apologies for not getting the entire ghist of this

[Black Tiger]

The BBcode is parsed when pushing the "post reply" or "post new thread" button so it's parsed on the fly if I understand correctly.
It is not a bbcode which should be used with the [ and ] signs.

In the other mods case, the /you code adds your name automatically, the /me code my name. That's indeed how it works.
