[B]Live Demo: (Retired)

An all new version of my "Advanced [YOU] BBCode" mod, now completely compatible with the blogs, cms, and all other parts of the forum.

This mod creates the [YOU] BB-like-code. When someone types [YOU] in a post or thread or virtually anywhere else on the forum (if enabled) it gets changed to the username of the user currently viewing the page.


The mod allows you to specify a replacement to use for guests and users not logged in. The default is simply "you."

There are setting to allow the admin to enable and disable in the following areas:

• Specific Forums (or all forums)
• PMs
• Visitor Messages
• (Social) Groups
• Picture Comments
• Blogs
• CMS
• Widgets
• Sidebar
• Breadcrumbs
• Signatures (when viewed in posts or PMs)
• User Titles (when viewed in the postbit)

You can also specify "Immune" usergroups who will always see [you] so as not to get confused, if you wish..

If you need the older version for some reason it is still available as the VB 3.8 mod:

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.
Donations Always Appreciated. :up:

That's not how it's programmed. It only recognizes the primary usergroup. Are you sure the account you are testing it with isn't in the "immune" usergroups? They'll always see the "[you]" code, not their username.

I just tested this on my test forum, an admin (usegroup 6) had a secondary usergroup (9) made active... In the mod options usergroup 9 was blocked from using the code. Posts made by the admin still showed the username as I expected they would.

You are right. I set myself on my forum as (primary usergroup) registered user, and secondary as admin. I wanted to look to outsiders as regular user. Now I reversed that and when my primary usergroup is admin, I can see and write you code with no problem. Thank you, just my messed up setup of myself.

Everything's fine. Sorry.

[BirdOPrey5]

Not a problem. Enjoy. :up:

Also when previewing your signature in your User CP you will see the [YOU] code in the signature, however it WILL work correctly in posts with the signature attached.

This can be fixed by adding another plugin in the profile_editsignature_start hook with the following:

$previewmessage = str_ireplace("[you]", $vbulletin->userinfo[username], $previewmessage);

Thanks Boofo. :up:

Is there a way of making this work with the widgets in the CMS?

[BirdOPrey5]

Probably with custom programming but since I don't have the 4.0 suite I can't help you.

[hugh_]

Thanks for replying BoP. Anyone else want to have a go at making this work in the CMS?

[BirdOPrey5]

No problem- just a reminder I marked this as "re-usable" so I would welcome anyone who wants to pick up where I left off and keep developing this mod.

I love little personal touches like this for my members...thank you!
