Username in posts and microstats

[Boofo]

Can anyone plaese help me with the following code? I had microstats installed and working and when I installed the username in posts hack, microstats quit working. I know the problem in the code, just not how to fix it so both of them will work. I know it can be done because they both work here.

$findwords=array(0 => '{getmicrostats}');
  $replacewords=array(0 => $microstats);
  $i=1;

  $findwords=array(0 => '{bbusername}');
  $replacewords=array(0 => "$bbuserinfo[username]<!-- auto name hack -->");
  $i=1;
  while ($var=$DB_site->fetch_array($vars) and $i++) {
    if ($var['findword']!='') {
      $findwords[$i]=$var['findword'];
      $replacewords[$i]=$var['replaceword'];
    }
  }
  $newtext=str_replace($findwords,$replacewords,$newtext);

  $findwords=array(0 => '{getmicrostats}', 1 => '{bbusername}');
  $replacewords=array(0 => $microstats, 1 => "$bbuserinfo[username]<!-- auto name hack -->");
  $i=1;
  while ($var=$DB_site->fetch_array($vars) and $i++) {
    if ($var['findword']!='') {
      $findwords[$i]=$var['findword'];
      $replacewords[$i]=$var['replaceword'];
    }
  }
  $newtext=str_replace($findwords,$replacewords,$newtext);

Might work.

That did the trick, Chen. Works great! Thank you very much!

Could you just add more arrays to it as you need to then? This could come in handy. Gives me a few ideas.

Yes you can, but make sure you increment $i every time you add a new variable.

[Boofo]

You mean the $i=1;, right? Ok, I can do that. Just for learning sake here, why didn't you increment it when you put both of them together then? Or does the 0 and 1 basically mean the same?

It could have been $i=0; before, don't know why it was set to 1.

You could use something like this for an Easter Egg sort of thing, couldn't you? Like if you do the word {Boofo} it could put almost anything in the message post (from the postbit variables). For instance you could do {location} and have it bring up their location variable. Am I going in the right direction on this or am I way off track again?

I think that might have been from the microstats code and when I added the user name in post hack, it also had the 1 in it. At least I got to the point I knew what piece of code was messing up. Maybe I am learning something (although not significant), huh?

I just noticed something that I'm not sure has anything to do with the code you gave me, but if I delete a message with the username in post hack in it, it gives me the errorid message. It goes ahead and deletes it, I just get the error after it says the message was successfully deleted. Any idea what might be causing that? Or how I can fix it?

[Admin]

I don't think my hack is causing that.
