whoview

Does anyone know of a whoview mod for the yabbse board?

You will want to look for the Who's Online mod.

I was actually looking for a mod that will put the viewing member's name in a post/msg in place of something like [whoview]

[Shadow's Pawn]

You should post this in Mod Ideas or in Other Help.  You should only start a new topic in Completed Mods if you are posting a new mod.  If you post in one of those other boards, someone should be able to help you get this figured out.

oops?  Sorry, will do.  That, or I guess I will write one myself for it, and give a link to it.

Okay, I thought I had whoview working, but for some reason after it worked the first few times, it started giving me BoardIndex errors.  Back to the drawing board again, to see what I messed up.  What I really need is a map of the code for the board.  I think I may have left something out, since I am coding it all by hand.

I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to get it to do, but have you looked at the User Browsering addon for the Who's Online mod?  It can show who is browsing each board and each thread from inside the thread, if that is what you mean.

Shadow, the mod I am working on adds a tag, [whoview], to the post which will display the name of the user viewing the post.  Thus:

Welcome [whoview] to the board.

becomes:

Welcome Shadow to the board.

Why don't you just create a new yabb tag in subs?  It is really easy to do.  I.e. <yabb whoview>

I'll post an example in a little while.  I have to go eat dinner and take care of a few things first.

Okay, I probably won't have time to do much to help you tonight.  Maybe tomorrow if I get time.

Anyway, look at Subs.php where various tags are defined... such as <yabb menu> which you can find if you look for "yymenu" in Subs.php and you should be able to get a good idea of what to do.

Sorry it took me so long to understand what you meant.  Sometimes it is hard to describe things on this medium...

That's what I did the first time, and it worked fine at first, then the board started giving me boardindex error in line 147.  I didn't see anything that could have remotely caused the problem, but I restored the original subs.php file anyway.
I'll dig up my first try and post it here for you tonight, so maybe somebody can tell me what the cause is.  Thanks.

I thought of an easy way of doing it, but not the prefered method by far.  Just making a simple change to the word censor in the Load.php file, adding in the $realname global and the statement:

Code Select Expand

$Text = preg_replace("/whoview/i", $realname, $Text);

right after the statement:

Code Select Expand

/* Replace all vulgar word with respective proper words
      Substring or whole words */
function CensorTxt(&$Text)
{
   global $censored, $modSettings, $realname;

   $Text = preg_replace("/$whoview/i", $realname, $Text);
   if (!isset($censored))
      LoadCensorList();

   foreach ($censored as $vulgar => $proper)
   {
