Military Branches v1.01

[SVTCobraLTD]

Military Branches v1.01
Created by SVTCobraLTD for 3.6.x - 4.1.x


This will add a small Military Banner to your postbit templates. I found this useful for my forums so I hope you do. See the screen shots for more information. Right now it only contains Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force. Currently the images are made with a white background and a dark gray background. I am willing to help make the images match the background on your board for members who donate (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=HY8BSGD2NT9Z2).

Update: If you want to add a the Military Branches as a secondary group for the user, you need to add this coding:
<if condition="in_array($post[usergroupid], array(X,X,X,X,X)) && is_member_of($post, X)"><img src="images/misc/XXXX.gif" border="0" alt="" /></if>

Change the 'X' to the usergroup you want and change the 'XXXX' to the name of the file. If anyone needs any help, let me know.

Will this work for 3.7?

[SVTCobraLTD]

I do not see why it would not. Coding is the same.

[SVTCobraLTD]

Did you test on 3.7.x? Did it work ok?

[Lovinmysailor]

Very nice! The next time I redo our ranks I am going to use these! thanks!! I have 3.7 so I will let you know if it works. I see no problem why it shouldnt.

[SVTCobraLTD]

Same here. I will be testing on 3.8.4 soon as well.

I tried to find bigusername in v4.XX and couldn't find it as the directions state. Any chance I'm doing something wrong? Is there a difference for this in 4.XX?

[SVTCobraLTD]

I am not using 4.x so I am unsure.

For VB4 look for the following code in postbit_legacy:

<div class="username_container">
<vb:if condition="$post['userid']">
{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}
{vb:raw post.onlinestatus}
<vb:else />
<span class="username guest">{vb:raw post.musername}</span>
</vb:if>
</div>
<span class="usertitle">
{vb:raw post.usertitle}
</span>

And put the following below it:

<vb:if condition="$post[usergroupid] == XX"><img src="images/misc/xxxxxxx.gif"></vb:if>

Otherwise follow the original instructions...

In general IF statements remain the same between VB3 and VB4 except add "vb:" in front of the "if".

Hi BOP5, I was able to do the first part of the instructions, but couldn't find the <div class="bugusername"... in the Templates>memberinfo edit.

to add:
<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == xx"><img src="images/misc/XXXXXX.giof"></if>

Thanks again for your help

[BirdOPrey5]

Hey, sorry I didn't see the second edit in the instructions... for the MEMBERINFO template in VB4 look for:

<span id="userinfo">
<span class="member_username">{vb:raw prepared.musername}</span>
<span class="member_status">{vb:raw prepared.onlinestatus}</span>
<vb:if condition="$prepared['usertitle']">
<br />
<span class="usertitle">{vb:raw prepared.usertitle}</span>
</vb:if>

And put the "IF" beneath it.

However looking at the <IF> code I seriously doubt the code given in the instructions will work in MEMBERINFO...

The code given is:
<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == XX"><img src="images/misc/xxxxxxx.gif"></if>
And translated to VB4 is:
<vb:if condition="$post[usergroupid] == XX"><img src="images/misc/xxxxxxx.gif"></vb:if>
HOWEVER... $post is only available in the postbit template, it has no value in MEMBERINFO so I can't see how this would have ever worked...

I believe the correct code should be:
<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid] == XX"><img src="images/misc/xxxxxxx.gif"></vb:if>

[printedgear]

Hi BOP, I think I did what you said. I tried both codes and neither worked. The second update is in memberinfo, correct? Any other thoughts? Thanks again for your time!

[BirdOPrey5]

Yeah, looks like I was a little off on where to place it, sorry about that.

I have tested this exact code and it's working for me:

Find:
<span id="userinfo">
<span class="member_username">{vb:raw prepared.musername}</span>
<span class="member_status">{vb:raw prepared.onlinestatus}</span>
<vb:if condition="$prepared['usertitle']">
<br />
<span class="usertitle">{vb:raw prepared.usertitle}</span>
</vb:if>
</span>
</h1>


And right below </h1> add:
<vb:if condition="$userinfo[usergroupid] == 6"><img src="http://www.qapla.com/ju/jump.gif" /><br /></vb:if>

Change the number 6 to the usergroup id you want, and change the src to your image, but like I said this exact code works for me.

Thank you to BirdsOPrey for updating instructions for vb4!! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=256558

[printedgear]

I just figured it out!!!! You're awesome!!!! Thanks!

[BirdOPrey5]

I had a mistake in my code... The text to add to member info SHOULD BE:

<vb:if condition="$userinfo[usergroupid] == 6"><img src="http://www.qapla.com/ju/jump.gif" /><br /></vb:if>


The code I previously posted would have displayed the rank of the person viewing the profile, not the rank of the person's profile they were viewing.

Sorry for the confusion. I will edit my original post.
