Smilies in user titles

This is a very simple, yet fun hack that I made on my site. It allows the user titles to have smilies in them.

Here is the thread view and the profile view of the hack:

It is accomplished by adding one line of code to the following files:

forumdisplay.php
member.php
private.php
admin/functions.php

In forumdisplay.php:
Look for the following code:

PHP Code:

     if ($announcement[customtitle]==2) {
       $announcement[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($announcement[usertitle]);
                 } 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

     if ($announcement[customtitle]==2) {
       $announcement[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($announcement[usertitle]);
                 }
     $announcement[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($announcement[usertitle]); 


In member.php
Look for the following code:

PHP Code:

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("getinfo")."\");"); 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

  $userinfo[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($userinfo[usertitle]);
  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("getinfo")."\");"); 


In private.php
Look for the following code:

PHP Code:

    if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
      $post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
    } 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

    if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
      $post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
    }
    $post[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($post[usertitle]); 


In admin/functions.php
Look for the following code:

PHP Code:

                if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
                        $post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
                } 


And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

                if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
                        $post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
                }
                $post[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($post[usertitle]); 


Enjoy...

Nah, it's just that we've had our share of idiots that just outright abused the smilies.

bonnmac: I'm assuming this uses the same smilies you have installed for posts.

Go to where you added your smiles in the Admin CP and look at whatever code you used for them and then just add that code wherever you want it to be in your usertitle (i.e. Admin). Most of them are probably generic.

Thank you. You are very kind.

[bonnmac]

Thanks but I must be dummer then I thought.....
I go to my user cp and under edit profile/custom user text/new title.... Then I put in Administrator :bkiss: and I don't get the smilie I just get the code.... What am I doing wrong?

[Zzed]

Please forgive my ignorance. Did you install the hack?

Does your title still show up as the code in thread view, or your profile?

[bonnmac]

You know what.... I'm having a bad day... I'm sorry I had missed one step in the hack.. It is working now... Thanks! It's a great hack!

[Zzed]

Very cool. I'm glad you got it working.

And thank you for the kind words.
