/you, /me, /youid, /myid Hack

1.4.2 has been released! Upgrade if /youid and /meid arent working!

To upgrade, just cut (not copy) the youid part above the /you part, and it'll work

This is a hack adds the following BB codes:


"/you" is replaced by the Username viewing the thread*
"/me" is replaced by the thread/post creator*
"/youid" is replaced by the UserID of the user viewing the thread.
"/myid" is replaced by the UserID of the poster of the post.

"/you is great!" Turns into:

Username is great!

"/me" is great!" Turns into:

"Deaths is great!"

"http://www.vbulletin.org/user.php?u=/youid" Turns into:

"http://www.vbulletin.org/user.php?u=123".

"http://www.vbulletin.org/register.php?refferer=/myid" Turns into:

"http://www.vbulletin.org/register.php?refferer=567".

Here are the instructions:
Optionally, you may follow the instructions in install.txt.
Both this post and the .txt file contain the exact same information.

Open includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:

PHP Code:

$bbcode = str_replace(array('>|||)', '<|||)', '"|||)'), array('>)', '<)','")'), $bbcode); 
    } // end smilies 


Below, add:

PHP Code:

// /youid hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
global $bbuserinfo;
                $bbcode = str_replace("/youid","" .$bbuserinfo['userid']. "",$bbcode);
// End /youid hack 


Below that, add:

PHP Code:

// /meid hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org 
  global $post; 
  if ('' == $post[userid]) { 
    global $reputation; 
    if ('' == $reputation[userid]) { 
      global $pm; 
      if ('' == $pm[fromuserid]) { 
        $meUserid = $bbuserinfo[userid]; 
      } else { 
        $meUserid = $pm[fromuserid]; 
      } 
    } else { 
      $meUserid = $reputation[userid]; 
    } 
  } else { 
    $meUserid = $post[userid]; 
  } 
  $bbcode = str_replace('/meid',"$meUserid", $bbcode); 
// End /meid hack 


Below that, add:

PHP Code:

// /you hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
global $bbuserinfo; 
                $bbcode = str_replace("/you","<font color=\"#2DA72E\"><i>" .$bbuserinfo['username']. "</i></font> ",$bbcode);
// End /you hack 


Finally, below that, add:

PHP Code:

// /me hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
// /me Hack
  global $post;
  if ('' == $post[username]) {
    global $reputation;
    if ('' == $reputation[username]) {
      global $pm;
      if ('' == $pm[fromusername]) {
        $meUsername = $bbuserinfo[username];
      } else {
        $meUsername = $pm[fromusername];
      }
    } else {
      $meUsername = $reputation[username];
    }
  } else {
    $meUsername = $post[username];
  }
  $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"red\">* $meUsername \\1 *</font>", $bbcode);  

// End /me hack 


Now, open newreply.php
Find:

PHP Code:

$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext)); 


Below, add:

PHP Code:

// /me Hack
$pagetext = preg_replace('#^/me(.*)$#im', "[color=\"red\"]* $originalposter\\1[/color]", $pagetext);
// /me Hack 


This is my first publicly released hack, so it might be posible that I made a little mistake somewhere in the code, even though, - and maybe because - it is a very simple hack. If so, please post here, heh.

Hope you like it!

*I'm almost positive these hacks have already been released before, even though I couldn't find them.
I did not copy any code from anyone.
However, if you released this hack before I did, and wish to have the /you and /me hacks removed, please contact me by PM.

Is there any way when an unregistered person is viewing the forum to make this automatically just say a name?
