/me vB Code

Here's a another not-very-useful-yet-fun hack.

It's very simple, it just mimics IRC's /me action. So if you type this:
/me runs fast
(note: it must be on its own line!)
It will become:
[high]* FireFly runs fast
[/high]
It parses this code in showthread.php and private.php, only.

After you install the hack, find this line in functions.php:

	  $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"{timecolor}\">* $post[username] \\1</font>", $bbcode);

And change {timecolor} to whatever color you want the line to be.

Forgot to mention, you must install this fix by smachol:

For this hack to work! (thanks Kura for reminding me)

READ:
To fix the bug where users who quote other people get the /me tag messed up, replace this code in newreply.php:

    $pagetext = preg_replace("/(\[quote])(.*)(\[\/quote])/siU", "", $pagetext);

With this:

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

Attached is the vbHacker install file, and a plain text file is in the next post.

Enjoy!

Ok, fixed the bug, see post #1 for the fix.
It invloves editing newreply.php, BTW. Nakkid, I'd love to tell you what's wrong but I really don't know what you tried to do with your code... what's that $bbcodeid variable?

every bbcode have an ID, right? for quote is ID 6. so I used the if argument to show a different value. what would be the proper usage of the variable chen? look at the bbcode table... i still want to learn...

[Admin]

I still don't understand why you would want to use the bbcode ID for this task...

[TECK]

because i'm roumanian........
so illogical things are allowed there.. hehe.

seriously talking, i thought i could call the variable this way.

[Admin]

First, I don't think it's even available in that place. And besides, I still can't see why it would help... at all. :/

[TECK]

thank chen. just wanted to understand.

Waah! This hack doesn't work if you have the Automatic Post Coloring hack installed... Don't suppose anyone fancies fixing this? <sniffle>
