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.

I have been working on this and have added the ability to change the word to use from the Admin CP, in case this hack gets overused. I am still in search of the e-mail notification fix and will post the update when I have that figured out.

The usergroup setting would be a great addition please.

Once our members work out how to use it there will be even more mayhem on our forums than there already is

Thanks again Boofo:up:

The usergroup or forum ID settings wouldn't really work on this, I have come to see. As anyone can use this, those settings would only make for a lot of empty replacement variables throughout the site. You can't stop anyone from actually typing the code in a post. All you can do is stop certain forums or usergroups from seeing the parsed variable, hence the code will show. What I do is use it only for staff and use a word that only I and the staff know. It saves for a lot of headaches and empty code tags throughout the site. I have added the option to change the word form the Admin CP settings in case someone decides to get annoying with this. Although I haven't found the way to stop the code from showing in the notification e-mails yet. I am working on that in between my site crashes.

You will find that this is a lot of fun to play with in the beginning but can get overused and really annoying if you let the wrong people use it.

It will be once I get the e-mail notification figured out and update the first post.

You can change the word now as well.

Just go to plugins and change the [you] in three of this hacks plugins.

[Boofo]

Sure, but it's not as convenient as a setting.

[vietdjclub]

if you want show username with legend color then just

find Product : You Replacement

then open and replace userinfo['username'] with userinfo['musername']

any updates on the upgrade Boofo. those forumid settings would be a good addition
