Anyone know if there are any Mods that add the ability to whisper? To whisper you would use something like...

[whisper=username]WHISPER TEXT[/whisper]

and then only the person you listed in Username would be able to see the whisper text.

If not, I think this would be a useful mod, especially for RPG boards!

---

This mod is now made, the latest version which is practically bugridden can be found here

guess who sat down and is making it -.-

guess who is releasing a beta now -.-

	if($message =~ [highlight size=2 color=red background=]/[/highlight]\[whisper\=$username](.+?)\[\/whisper\][highlight size=3 color=red background=]~[/highlight] || $musername eq $username || $moderators{$username} || $settings[7] eq 'Administrator' ) {
 

(These should both be ~ or /, not one of each!)

There were another couple of problems which prevented the whispered text from showing (and it got very confused if you whispered to more than one person in the same message!) Try the following instead:

<edit file>
Sources/YaBBC.pl
</edit file>

<search for>
sub quotemsg {
</search for>

<add before>
sub whisper {
      my ($whisper_name, $whisper_msg) = @_;
      if ($whisper_name eq $username) {
            return qq~Whisper: $whisper_msg~;
      } elsif ($username eq $musername || $moderators{$username} || $settings[7] eq 'Administrator') {
            return qq~Whispers to $whisper_name: $whisper_msg~;
      } else {
            return qq~~;
      }
}

</add before>

<search for>
      $message =~ s~\/me\s+(.*)~<font color="#FF0000">* $displayname $1</font>~ig;
</search for>

<add after>
      $message =~ s~\[whisper\=(.+?)\](.+?)\[\/whisper\]~&whisper($1,$2)~eisg;
</add after> 

There are still some things that may need to be addressed:
1...When you quote a whispered message, it is visible in the message textarea on the post page.
2...The author of the message cannot see whispered text (the $musername variable isn't normally available in the YaBBC.pl file.)
3...The code above has two different messages depending on who is viewing the whispered message and who it was intended for. I think I prefer the one that admins/moderators see that includes the name of the intended recipient. This may have to be altered so that it shows the screen name instead of the username.
4...Some formatting will probably have to be added to whispered text to make it stand out from the rest.

I think I've done most of what you listed, please check the mod file again

Whisper is hidden when quoted.

Goody!

Working nicely Christer
