[you] vbcode

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38069&highlight=vbcode" target="_blank">Inspired by FireFly's /me vB Code</a>

When reading the /me hack thread I started laughing at the idea of a [you] tag. This isn't much of a hack, but it was fun. Put [you] in the thread and it is replaced by the person's name who is reading the thread. if it is a guest, [you] is simply replace by the word you.

I had to change this to a text file to avoid problems. Should be fine now

Man o Man i didn;t know such a little hack could cause so much trouble. In one day my site is in a uproar for this. I had to remove it LOL

Awesome hack though.

Why can't someone make a complete files a txt file and upload it. Instead of reading 5 pages on codes.

Hey Boofo, I think dnd means that in a thread, at the top, it doesn't display the username but instead [you], look at the picture below to see what I mean. Ignore the big title part of it

You have to add it to the navbar and the thread title in the showthread.php. Try the following and let me know if that takes care of it.

For the forum navbar replacement:

Still in functions.php, find:
-------------------

function makenav($id,$idtype="forum",$highlightlast=1) {
  global $DB_site,$nav_url,$nav_title,$session,$threadcache;


-------------------
REPLACE it with:
--------------------

function makenav($id,$idtype="forum",$highlightlast=1) {
  global $DB_site,$nav_url,$nav_title,$session,$threadcache,$bbuserinfo;

-------------------
Find:
-------------------

      $nav_url="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$id";
      $nav_title=$foruminfo[title];

-------------------
AFTER it add:
--------------------

	if ($bbuserinfo['userid']>0) {
		$nav_title = trim(preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $nav_title));
	} else {
		$nav_title = trim(preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "you", $nav_title));
	}

-------------------
For the forumjump replacement:

Still in functions.php, find:
-------------------

      if (!$hideprivateforums) {
        $forumperms['canview']=1;
      }

--------------------
ABOVE it add:
--------------------

	if ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0) {
		$forum[title] = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $forum[title]);
	} else {
		$forum[title] = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "you", $forum[title]);
	}

--------------------
In showthread.php (for <title>):

Find:
--------------------

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("showthread")."\");");

--------------------
ABOVE it add:
--------------------

	if ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0) {
		$thread[title] = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $thread[title]);
	} else {
		$thread[title] = preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "you", $thread[title]);
	}

Well, you got the big title part fixed, but not the actual navigation..... see picture

It's in the navbar section of the functions.php somewhere. the code I gave you should work for that.

[lasto]

for such a small hack its certainly turned into a monster

does they put any server load on the site or additional queries as theres a lot of files to edit so want to know before i do.

cheers

[Dataforce]

is it possible to limit this to only admins?

the Lamers on the baord have started using it to scare the n00bs
