Postbit Icon change and thread color

[SwalyAaron]

Found this hook for the thread color change but honestly don't know where it would go

This is for changing the color of thread title
if ($thread['postuserid'] == 1) {$thread['threadtitle'] = '<span style="color: #8B0000;">' . $thread['threadtitle'] . '</span>';}
Vb3.8


And now I'm trying to make it so when ever user 1 posts in a thread, or usergroup doesn't matter. The postbit icon changes to one that I chose. I know this is possible and would like a solution =].


Lastly (related to the thread title change) how do I change the "latest post by "username"" color if posted by an admin, a userid, or a specific usergroup.

Anyone figure this out? =]

What hook are you using for the code you posted?

[exel]

Try threadbit_display, that should do it.

I would recommend you do it via templates, though.
It's easy.

Trying to figure out which hook to use, I found this in a thread but did not mention a hook :s

Awesome the hook worked, even manged to change username.


Now I'm trying to make it display the color in forum homepage :S and trying to get the Postbit icon to change automatically when user id = 1 posts in a thread

What exactly are you trying to do?

[SwalyAaron]

I made a postbit icon that says "DEV", I want it to be used automatically when I post a thread so it stands out from other threads, I also want it to be changed to that when ever I post on a thread so it stands out as a "DEV" posted on it. Also trying to get this recolored:

I want "Scorch" and "Hello" to be recolored to BLUE ONLY if its a Dev post, I used the plugin above to do it for sections like here:

And this is the postbit icon that I want changed automatically:

For the dev icon, you can probably do something like..

threadbit_display again.

if ($thread['postuserid'] == 1) {

$thread[threadiconpath] = "images/misc/DEVICON.PNG";

}

^ Confirmed it works just fine.

As for your forumhome edit request, there's no hook before the calling of lastpostby

So you might look into: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=148653&highlight=color

As that adds a hook before it, all you'd have to do is edit the php code.

The thread icon:
It's working perfectly when I make a thread, thank you so much for that. But I also want it to change on ANY thread that I post on (really just to notify that I have posted on said thread)

The forumhome recoloring:
Now that I have a hook, what would my code be? I tried running this:

if ($thread['postuserid'] == 1) {$thread['lastposter'] = '<span style="color: #0099FF;">' . $thread['lastposter'] . '</span>';}


The product itself works its adding HTML mark up but I want it to be a blue color not my HTML mark up and I only want it to work for USER ID = 1, I'm trying to mess with the PHP I will try and reply before you do if I find anything that will work.

[exel]

For the thread icon, try doing..

if ($thread['postuserid'] == 1 || $thread[lastposter] == 1) {

$thread[threadiconpath] = "images/misc/DEVICON.PNG";

}

As for the other mod, find the plugin colorname

And replace all with:

if($lastpostinfo['lastposter'] == YOURUSERNAME) {

$lastpostinfo['lastposter'] = '<span style="color:#8B0000;">".$lastpostinfo['lastposter']."</span>';

}

[SwalyAaron]

It still doesn't change, its not showing any errors but I don't see what its doing

Color username plugin error when enabled :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/vanquish/public_html/forums/includes/functions_forumlist.php(268) : eval()'d code on line 3

Erm, if you want to PM me an admin account on your site with settings, template and plugin permissions, I can have a look. Kind of working blinded here. :p

[SwalyAaron]

Sure will work it out with you tomorrow, will give you an account to work on
