<!-- IF --> BBcode

[Candyman]

Hey crew, here's a puzzle for ya that's doing my brain in, please help me understand.

I thought I could make a BBcode that relates to the PHPbb3 forum <!-- IF --> statements so i could make an effective private message system for the mChat.

However it seems the IF statements are ignored by the BBcode output for some reason?

Here's what I have tried:
BBcode usage

Code: Select all

[pm]{SIMPLETEXT1},{SIMPLETEXT2}[/pm]

HTML replacement:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_USERNAME eq "{SIMPLETEXT1}" -->
{SIMPLETEXT2}
<!-- ENDIF -->

Now, when using the pm tags the username is not displayed but the message is and everyone can see it?
1/ Why does this not work?
2/ Is there a way to make this work?
3/ If there is no way to make this work, is there some other way to do this?

Thanks in advance crew
