[Request] Username Insert Mod

[bozonessinc]

Hello,

I had posted this over at Xenforo.com, and now I want to consult everyone here. Do you think there is a way for xenforo to insert the users name whenever, someone uses the bb code [you]. I'm sure there is a way to get it with PHP, but I'm not sure exactly how.

The reason I ask, is it will help bring my board more personal, when I can say, Hey [you], if you get much drift... .

Ideas? Even if you have a code idea, I might be able to take that and try to make it on my own.

$visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();
This is how you get the userinfo in PHP.
$visitor['username'] would be the way to access the username.

As far as the mod - you're just looking for a BB code?

I guess so, since I would need a way for it to insert into the post.

Thanks SNN, haven't gotten around to figuring that out yet. I started it in my next one, but I think you need to have [you][/you].
