Important notice about PHP version
If you are using PHP4, you can download the product-usernamebolder-PHP4.xml file instead of the normal one, it is case sensitive, i can't do anything about that... the normal (PHP5) version is case insensitive
What does this hack do?
Whenever you post a new thread or reply it will bold (add tags) to any usernames it finds in the post. As from version 1.1 you can specify what you want to do with the username (bold, italic, etc. any bbcode works).
Example
If I post this message (X123 is a user on the board):
- - I'd like to thank X123 for his support.
It will be posted like this:
- - I'd like to thank X123 for his support.
Installation
Easy, download the product-usernamebolder.xml file, import the product and you're all done Note: if you are still using PHP4, download the product-usernamebolder-PHP4.xml file. For more info see above.
Upgrade from old version
Easy too, remove old product, download new xml file, import the new product and you're all set

Important
I moved this hack from beta to stable. It currently is stable. This hack could be a issue for the performance if you have a lot of users.
You will have to install it to see if it's not slowing your board.
I saw straight that this modification represents a small problem for me. If I write in the forum something, and coincidentally a word select, which as user name occurs, then this word also fat one represents. Can one get it not somehow that really only the user name fat is represented, and not any parts of words?
A small example, so that you know which I mean.
Ben is a Username. If I want to then quote a contribution, for example the word ?Benutzer? - Ben - is represented fat.
I´m searching for a quick and easy modification and I´m surprised about finding this one.
What I´m searching for is a hack, that puts links behind the usernames. This can be like [user]UserID[/user] or automatically with every word that´s a username. Bouth is okay for me, my goal is just to get more communication between the users.
Now there is the hack where every username is bold. Well ... isn´t it easy and much more usefull to make it also a link?
It was easy to combine this hack with wome own BB-Codes to have that functionality. But with more than 1.600 Users in my board this Hack is definitely too slow. :-(
