Replacing a string with userid

[Metho]

Hi there,
I looked around for this but didn't see it anywhere. Basically what I'm looking for is if a user types a string such as /emote it will replace it with the user's id in the post, and preferably color the entire sentence a different color. Much like the mIRC command /me.
Like /emote wonders if this can be done would result in:
Metho wonders if this can be done

Anyone done something like this, or have any ideas how?

Thanks,

Metho

Ummm, it already supports /me
looks like this:

Missed the documention on that feature. I'll shut up now. The YabbSE team has thought of everything.

Oks, any idea why the "/me" command in my forums will work, but the text is just default black? Where would I modify this at?

I think it's the "meaction" class in the CSS.

Yep. That's the property that controls it!

i'm guessing its because you're using templates from boardmod.org?
if thats true, you'll need to add this to the template:

Code Select Expand

.meaction {
   color: red; background-color: transparent;
}
