Note: This hack will only work on PHP 4.0.5 and higher. Sorry for all the others (anyone still using these old versions?!).

Anyhow, this is a great little hack, and most importantly very very fun for the masses.

It gives your users the ability to use {bbusername} in their post, and it will mysteriously be changed into the viewer's username when he reads the page.

Demo:
FireFly 

You can detect this hack is in action by viewing the HTML source of the page. You will see  next to the name in the source.

You can this hack used in action here as well:

This hack also contains a small optimization to vBulletin, which removes a lot of calls to str_replace() and replaces that with only one (which is why this hack only works with PHP 4.0.5 and up).

Have fun, I know you will.

FireFly its my "you have a full pm box please empty me" hack to pester people with full pm boxes to remove some. So the $fullpm is from that.

Will it work on 2.0.3 forum?

Thanks,

Daniel.

One of our forum guides says... "I think you could have more fun if you had a random generator version!! That could really confuse people!!"

bwhaha great! I've posted my joke thread

.

But I do actually have a serious use for this. For putting the forum name inside a post. (As I use cobranding on my forums)

The info I need is contained within the $bbuserinfo array. How can I alter the code so that it supports two replacements?

I assume if you aren't using .php3 (and you are using the default .php ext.) then that is the right version?

I've looked around a bit and I still can't see why it's not coming up right. I don't have any errors, just no cool hack. *lol*

Counts steps - Make two changes to functions.php & Upload.

Is that it?

Unless it has something to do with the fullpm hack, which I don't have, so I removed that bit of text from the coding. Would that effect it?

Anyone have a suggestion? I've edited the two places in my functions.php, uploaded, and tried it out. I see the actual string { bbusername } (without spaces, of course). I logged in as a regular member to see if it was my status, but the same thing. :s

Tried that and had it fail in 2.2.2. It displays other member's usernames for me when I go into the forum when just using that variable.

$bbuserinfo[username], SWFans.net.

this could become a bit of fun

I installed the hack on the board but the problem is it seems to muckup the postbit template.

The user title on any posts I use it in comes out as "-" and it goes to display the away image instead of my edited online/offline postbit templates. The rest looks the same.

Any idea what causes this?

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