How can I put colors in the names administrator and moderator?

[Waveside]

I want to color the names administrator and moderator! Administrator with blue and Moderator with orange. How can I do that? :confused:

[deezelpope]

HTML markup.:)

[vertigo jones]

Admincp - > Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit the appropriate group ->

There are two fields called:

Username HTML Markup
Specify an opening and closing HTML tag with which to display the names of users in this group. This applies to names that appear on Logged-in Users, Who's Online, Users Browsing Forum, Users Browsing Thread, Posts, Member List etc.

So you could do something like:
<span style="color: something;">

in the first

and then:

</span>

in the second.

I copied exacly the words you told me as you told me and there, that was saying something, i put blue, but nothing happend. What i've done wrong? I know nothing of html. There you say span is a member? In the place of span i put me "waveside style". The names i can put them like this <Waveside,oxide,diablo="font-color: orange;"> and in the second </waveside,oxide,diablo> Is that correct?

[dismas]

span isn't a member, it's part of the HTML markup that is used for that tag. Don't change the word "span" to anything else

[Waveside]

The administrators are Waveside and Oxide. I want to paint these names orange. Could you make the code for me? And then i will copy it! i'M :confused:

[HMBeaty]

The same way he told in you the first post....

<span style="font-color: orange;">

in the first

and then:

</span>

in the second

[Waveside]

Nothing happend. I dont have to put the names somewhere in this code?

[dismas]

No. The names don't go in the code.

Go to your AdminCP. Expand the Usergroups section. Click on Usergroup manager. That should list the usergroups in the main frame of the CP. Click on "Go" next to the Admin usergroup. In the fields for "Username HTML Markup" (it's the fourth field down from the top) put the following code in the first box:


<span style="color:blue;">


And in the second box put:

</span>


Go to the bottom of the page and click on "Update".

Go to the moderator usergroup next and do the same thing except change blue to orange.

Done.

The default color is blue (from what I recall) so you may not see a change with the Admins but you should with the moderators.

Now go to your forum, hit refresh on your browser. They should appear the way you want. If not, clear your browser's cache and refresh the page again.

edit: I just noticed that the previous codes that were provided used "font-color" whereas just the word "color" worked for me. I don't know if that makes a difference but it could.

I think the problem is that this is a "group" thing, not a member thing.

As is stated above. :D

[Waveside]

YEAH!!!!! That was the problem!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all very much and most thank you dismas!!!

I take if say a Member buys a coloured username from uShop but is promoted to another usergroup, they'll automatically keep their custom colour right?

[towermatt]

The colors are usergroup based only. So the answer would be no, it would take on whatever color was for the group they were promoted to.

Hopefully that is isn't confusing

[Jubei]

I've seen it done on other forums though.

If the coloring is applied through uShop, then the User should retain it regardless of what Usergroup he's in; although I personally have only used vBPlaza, so I can't speak 100% for uShop.

[towermatt]

I create a special member group for a person if I want them to have a color but I haven't used anything that automatically promotes.

I do know that the color options are based on groups, there may also be a mod out there somewhere that fixes it so you can retain the color at the user level. Or simply add it there.

Mmhm, thought as much, thanks!

How can you give an individual username a colour?

How can you give an individual username a colour?

They'd have to have their own usergroup.

For anyone trying to set the usergroup colors up for Admins, Super Moderators, & Moderators, here you go:

Administrator (Typically Red):

Username HTML Markup:
1st Space: <b><font color="red">2nd Space: </font></b>

Super Moderator (Typically Orange):

Username HTML Markup:
1st Space:<b><font color="orange">2nd Space:</font></b>

Moderator (Typically Blue):

Username HTML Markup:
1st Space: <b><font color="blue">2nd Space: </font></b>

[Kirk Y]

You should actually use:
<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">

And:
</span>

I see. I have seen some forums where some random users are given colours of their own? How is this done? A seperate usergroup is created and they're thrown into it then enable the markup code?
