/you, /me, /youid, /myid Hack

1.4.2 has been released! Upgrade if /youid and /meid arent working!

To upgrade, just cut (not copy) the youid part above the /you part, and it'll work

This is a hack adds the following BB codes:


"/you" is replaced by the Username viewing the thread*
"/me" is replaced by the thread/post creator*
"/youid" is replaced by the UserID of the user viewing the thread.
"/myid" is replaced by the UserID of the poster of the post.

"/you is great!" Turns into:

Username is great!

"/me" is great!" Turns into:

"Deaths is great!"

"http://www.vbulletin.org/user.php?u=/youid" Turns into:

"http://www.vbulletin.org/user.php?u=123".

"http://www.vbulletin.org/register.php?refferer=/myid" Turns into:

"http://www.vbulletin.org/register.php?refferer=567".

Here are the instructions:
Optionally, you may follow the instructions in install.txt.
Both this post and the .txt file contain the exact same information.

Open includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:

PHP Code:

$bbcode = str_replace(array('>|||)', '<|||)', '"|||)'), array('>)', '<)','")'), $bbcode); 
    } // end smilies 


Below, add:

PHP Code:

// /youid hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
global $bbuserinfo;
                $bbcode = str_replace("/youid","" .$bbuserinfo['userid']. "",$bbcode);
// End /youid hack 


Below that, add:

PHP Code:

// /meid hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org 
  global $post; 
  if ('' == $post[userid]) { 
    global $reputation; 
    if ('' == $reputation[userid]) { 
      global $pm; 
      if ('' == $pm[fromuserid]) { 
        $meUserid = $bbuserinfo[userid]; 
      } else { 
        $meUserid = $pm[fromuserid]; 
      } 
    } else { 
      $meUserid = $reputation[userid]; 
    } 
  } else { 
    $meUserid = $post[userid]; 
  } 
  $bbcode = str_replace('/meid',"$meUserid", $bbcode); 
// End /meid hack 


Below that, add:

PHP Code:

// /you hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
global $bbuserinfo; 
                $bbcode = str_replace("/you","<font color=\"#2DA72E\"><i>" .$bbuserinfo['username']. "</i></font> ",$bbcode);
// End /you hack 


Finally, below that, add:

PHP Code:

// /me hack by Deaths (Apprentice) | http://www.xgnews.org
// /me Hack
  global $post;
  if ('' == $post[username]) {
    global $reputation;
    if ('' == $reputation[username]) {
      global $pm;
      if ('' == $pm[fromusername]) {
        $meUsername = $bbuserinfo[username];
      } else {
        $meUsername = $pm[fromusername];
      }
    } else {
      $meUsername = $reputation[username];
    }
  } else {
    $meUsername = $post[username];
  }
  $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#im', "<font color=\"red\">* $meUsername \\1 *</font>", $bbcode);  

// End /me hack 


Now, open newreply.php
Find:

PHP Code:

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


Below, add:

PHP Code:

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


This is my first publicly released hack, so it might be posible that I made a little mistake somewhere in the code, even though, - and maybe because - it is a very simple hack. If so, please post here, heh.

Hope you like it!

*I'm almost positive these hacks have already been released before, even though I couldn't find them.
I did not copy any code from anyone.
However, if you released this hack before I did, and wish to have the /you and /me hacks removed, please contact me by PM.

I'll expand on what he's saying here.

The hack works just fine on my forums, but in vbChat, any time someone IN the chat uses /me, it shows the name of whoever's logged in.

So if I were do a:
[high]* Club3G wishes the chat would work
[/high]

I'd see:
Chris wishes the chat would work

Bob would see:
Bob wishes the chat would work

Bill would see:
Bill wishes the chat would work

etc. Is there a way to only enable this within posts? Or, alternatively, disable it in other places?

Thanks much!

Does anyone know how to make this work in v3.6.5? Please... I'm in a hurry. Just hours left....
