Hey "users name", any where u put [#username]

[rodesigner]

ok not i am not advanced code person i just copy/paste what brillent minds have figured out>>> i need to know how to get several things that are used on several different clan forum's v4.5 switched to v5 to work (where/how would i put it?) or have made into a plugin? need many things ready befor i go switching all them to v5 because it gets used alot on like i said, several different clan pbforums. and these people get fussy if a color changes lol.

i dont need a tag icon, just ability to type [#username] when writting in a thread , title or everywhere its used and it shows up replaced name for whom ever is reading .

below is the information and code , everything i have used on v4.5 was put into Advanced Hack Manager v1.2 , which i think is kinda like but not really like a plugin program? i liked it because all i had to do was follow simple directions, put definition , then copy code into its place, pick header/footer as directed, pick -skins it showed in.  all done.

ok heres really big question as an after thought can Advanced Hack Manager v1.2  still be used? or is it i have to use plugins?

Hey "username", check this out!

This is a special code that allows you to put a tag like \\#username\\ in a post (or in the subject... he he), which will automatically change to a user's name when they read it. That is, you'd type the code into the post, and whenever someone reads it, the code automatically changes to their display name (which is grabbed from the "Hey X you have..." welcome message). So for me, the subject of this post reads "Hey california, check this out". For you, the subject reads "Hey [#username] , check this out". But this message is not directed at you, [#username] . It was written and posted long before you joined this forum, so how could it have been?

warning   below is ver 4.5proboard not v5

document.title=document.title.replace(re, pb_displayname);
}

if(td[i].innerHTML.match(re)){
td[i].innerHTML = td[i].innerHTML.replace(re, pb_displayname);

you use @ and the username of the member. its already built in

@username


tbserialkillers becomes Wormopolis

[rodesigner]

no not username of just one user.. but... "Hey [#username] every member on forum thier name fills in where the [#username] so if you were reading this you name would be that spot.. if i was reading this my name would be there and 50 other people would see only thier user name in that spot. i tested on my v5 testing forum
(conected no space but trying to show my attemps)and @ foxfire shows as foxfire underlined and blue.. i tested [@username] @username what am i doing wrong?
i want each person reading to read /see it come up as thier own username like the old code did.automatically changes to their display name (which is grabbed from the "Hey X you have..." welcome message).

[Shorty]

Are you wanting this ability in posts?

[M³]

Shorty Not to hi-jack .. but, I'd like something like this as well. Used it in v4.5 ... and If I may take a guess, Shorty, I'd say Rodesigner wants the ability in posts. That was the big thing with that code back then.

[Wormopolis]

I assumed it was for posts, but my next question is do you WANT it to look like someone tagged them? or just have it replace with standard text?

[M³]

Wormopolis Either way, for me. IE, when I post ..... whatever method you give, so long as it notifies them as being tagged ... OR, like the old version where you put the [#username] in the subject title .. it shows as each individual member's name .. -- 'Hey, 'username', Check this out!

Again, either way.

[Wormopolis]

there is NO way using a code like this could send anyone a notification that they were tagged in a post.

[M³]

Wormopolis So, then .. the [#username] way?

[rodesigner]

correct dont want it to tag or redirect, just want each persons display name to show in that spot to each individual.
to show as if [personalized] written just for them,yes it showed in posts! and even on thread titles. basicly any where you placed [#username] on or in a code even or any where on whole forum.

i would try contacting cali but he is no longer of this world. he wrote wonderful things that i use on many forums. this one i enjoyed and used alot. it was great in catching the eye of members when they saw own name. and it helped new members feel personally welcomed when they joined the forum by having name show in auto private messages.

and i sorta want to keep something somehow working that for me reminds me of a wonderful person the world lost.

[M³]

+1 Rodesigner. Hopefully, someone will take this one on. Missin' Cali.

[Maiden]

I'd be interested in something like this but for the nav-menu. I'd like to replace the 'Profile' (while keeping the notifications for tagging/quoting intact) with the users name.

do you care if I take this on?  Im going to give Cali credit for it in the development notes.

Wormopolis *Rubs hands together* Hopefully, this can be done.
