/me code Version 3 · **Released**: 01-04-2004

Updated version 2.00 thanks to buro9!

Updated version 3.00 thanks to Edgewize!

New in version 3.00:
Correct parsing in quotes, private messages etc.

Okay, this is the famous /me code first created by Chen. All credits go to him. I'm just putting up instructions on how to do this in vB3. It's very easy.

Typing "/me is great!" gives you this:

* Erwin is great!

You make changes to THREE php files only.

1. Copy this piece of code:

Change "red" to whatever color you want.

PHP Code:


			
// /me hack
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'newreply' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
        $pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$postinfo['username'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (THIS_SCRIPT == 'private' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
        $pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$pm['fromusername'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && is_array($GLOBALS['post']))
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['post']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && $GLOBALS['previewpost'])
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['bbuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && isset($GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']))
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
// /me hack

2. Open functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:

PHP Code:


			
} // end smilies

PASTE code copied BELOW.

3. Open newreply.php

Find:

In 3.0.6 or less:

PHP Code:


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

In 3.0.7:

PHP Code:


			
$pagetext = trim(htmlspecialchars_uni($pagetext));

PASTE code copied BELOW.

4. Lastly, open private.php

ok to change the colors do

1. Open includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php:
FIND

Code:

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

Part Where You Change The colour

Code:

 "<font color=\"color_YOU_WANT\">*

EXAMPLE change to yellow

Code:

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

2. Open newreply.php:
FIND

Code:

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

Part Where You Change The colour

Code:

 "[color=\"color_YOU_WANT\"]*

EXAMPLE change to yellow

Code:

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

Hope this helps

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
