Clan Tag In Post Bit

[iDHKHCM]

this edit just adds a clan tag next to your username or wherever you decide to put it

first you will need to make a profile field

Go to AdminCP --> User Profile Fields --> Add New User Profile Field

for profile field type select Single-Line Text Box

Title= Clan Tag
Profile Field Category= (Uncategorized)
Max length of allowed user input= 4
Field Required= Yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User= Yes
Private Field= No
Field Searchable on Members List= Yes
Show on Members List= Yes

should look like this:

Now Go To postbit_legacy And Find:
<vb:else />


{vb:raw post.musername}




right above it add: (Replace Red XX with the profile feild number)

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldXX']">
<font color="red" size="4"><B>{vb:rawphrase fieldXX}[{vb:raw post.fieldXX}]</B></font></vb:if>


after its done it will look like this

[MrBeastlymfe]

You add the code above <vb:if condition="$post['userid']">
And under <div class="username_container">

Thank you for the great edit. Is there anyway to link the color to the usergroups color?

i wouldnt know how to do it....im sure its possible though

[SnaKe |WiH|]

Hmmm......okay....we will have to look into it.

[Dogma21cw]

GREAT WORK! Love it. Is there a way for it to read the contents of the field and set the color dependent on that?

[Dogma21cw]

See below.

YAY! I figgered it out. I had to create a custom phrase in the phrase mananger.

Went AdminCP>Phrase Manager.
Phrase type: GLOBAL, then add new phrase.
Product: vBulletin
Varname: oppdiv//this was the name of the team
Text: [TEAM1]
Translations: [TEAM1]

Then used the following code when editing the postbit template:
EDIT: See my next post

Works great, automatically assigns team tags & colors based on the usergroup.

[Dogma21cw]

Ok, I fixed it. Had to use $post instead of $bbuserinfo. $post made it look at the poster's usergroup, not the viewers.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 779)">
<font color=#FF0000 size="2"><B><I>{vb:rawphrase oppdiv}</I></B></font></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 780)">
<font color=#FF0000 size="2"><B>{vb:rawphrase oppdiv}</B></font></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 778)">
<font color=#FF0000 size="2">{vb:rawphrase oppdiv}</font></vb:if>

That's for 1/2 of our tournament. oppdiv is the phrase I created for their team. 779 is the top ranks in BOLD & ITALICS. 780 is the mid ranks in BOLD. And 778 is the lowest with nothing special about it.

Thanks for your hard work in showing me the way, I hope this post of mine helps others.

[Dogma21cw]

Ok, that all works for the postbit. But does anyone know where I'd do to add this to the user profile page, and the currently active users sections?

[MG Zebra]

How could I get text next to it so it would say Clan Tag: {[DM]} or something different than the question for the box.

[Checkmate MK8]

How can I set this field to accept ALT characters? Currently, when a user enters an ALT character, it defaults to the numerical reference to the character.

In other words, what should be showing as ★ is showing as "&9733" in the profile field upon clicking "save".

Thanks,

You done it like this
<vb:if condition="$post['field5']">
<font color="red" size="4"><B>{vb:rawphrase field5}[{vb:raw post.field5}]</B></font></vb:if>
5 being profile field number

[Checkmate MK8]

Yes

[ForceHSS]

can you post a ss of the template you edited

Sorry for the delay, here you go @ForceHSS

[ForceHSS]

You put it to far up it needs to be above


<vb:else />
<span class="username guest">{vb:raw post.musername}</span>

So it looks like

<vb:if condition="$post['field5']">
<font color="red" size="4"><B>{vb:rawphrase field5}[{vb:raw post.field5}]</B></font></vb:if>
<vb:else />
<span class="username guest">{vb:raw post.musername}</span>

also you said you used profile field 5 but in that ss you have it as 4

That method only puts the clan tag to the right of the username. My original coding puts it to the left of the username, which is where I want it. It also does not change the fact that the clan tag doesn't display ALT characters correctly and that is what I am looking to correct..

[blind-eddie]

I am having no issues with ATL characters displaying correctly.
Only issue I see is when you use to many ALT characters.

Also, I edited your code, see below

<vb:if condition="$post['field11']">
<font color="red" size="4"><B>{vb:rawphrase field5}<br />[{vb:raw post.field11}]</B></font></vb:if>

Adding the <br /> will add clan tag on new line, looks better.

Strange, alt9733 shows a club symbol for me in IE11 FF.
