/me vB Code · **Released**: 04-29-2002

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:

Code:

	  $bbcode = preg_replace('#^/me (.*)$#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:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35894
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:

Code:

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

With this:

Code:

    $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!

/me is pleased and clicks install!

GREAT JOB FIREFLY!

How would I get this to work on my new vb-integrated shoutbox from TWTCommish?

It is still not working for me, but it is for one of my users?!

I installed and couldn't get it to work and forgot about it. Today, I noticed one of my users using it and it worked! Guess he is an irc guy. Weird thing tho, it still doesn't work for me. Any ideas?

Erwin · #79 05-29-2002, 07:04 AM

Works like a charm!

Had to figure out a way around another hack, but it works now.

It's not working on my hacked 2.2.3b even after triple-checking functions.php

Seby · #81 06-01-2002, 01:56 PM

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