Miscellaneous Hacks - [you] Replacement

Here it is! The [you] hack ported over to vB 3.7 beta 4.

I have ported this over to vBulletin 3.7 beta 4, but it should work on all 3.7 versions. It now works board-wide (posts and thread titles), in the archive, and also in the quick post in the profile. If there are any areas you find that this doesn't work in, let me know and I will add the code for that area.

Thanks goes out to KirbyDE for making the first version for 3.5 possible. Without him, I'd STILL be trying to figure out the best way to do this for vB 3.5. Thanks, buddy!

Description:
This will replace the [you] variable (board-wide) with the viewing user's username.

Installation:
1 product xml
(No file edits)

Upload the product xml and you're all set!

Enjoy!

NOTE: If you do not click install, you do not need support.

You must have edited the post and saved it with your username in it. Redo it with the tag and that should fix your problem.

Thattts nice . What about just userid? If you have it so whoevers userid is viewable, this can be used to show peoples avatars, information, anything wherever asked for.

How does [you] translate to guests?

great mod, thanks, installed and working as expected.

The only little bug is that if you edit your post via quick edit, you will see [you] again after saving instead of username. If you refresh the page your username will come back

Tested on vB 3.6.8

This is normal as that is how ajax works. But anyone viewing the post will never see the [you]. Trust me, I got that all worked out.

That would only be a bug if ajax was a bug.

Thanks for this. It's great and adds a very personalised feel.

Plus, its a blast to use on April 1st.

And you're very welcome.

in one of my forums i made a thread like
[you], where are you?
and members are posting/reporting like crazy..

In which hook should we add the code so it parses correctly on Chatbox too
