[OzzModz] Postbit Background For Specific Users

[ozzy47]

Another mod brought to you by,
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2015/01/1.png

Here is a small modification you can do to have a different background in the postbit, set to specific users, in postbit legacy.

To get this to work, follow the instructions in the attached, Postbit Background For Specific Users.txt file.

I don't have any screenshots at the moment, I'll try to get some. Or if some of you use this mod, please share a screenshot of what you have done.

Reserved.

I see four people have marked as installed, any issues with the mod, or screenshots of how it looks on your style?

Looks great Ozzy :up:

I noticed that you specify postbit legacy. Will the same code work in postbit or will something blow up? :D

[ozzy47]

It should, but I did not try it, so all I can say is see what happens, if it don't let me know and I will look into it.

[Vick98]

Demo or image on what it looks like?

[ozzy47]

As I stated in the first post:

I don't have any screenshots at the moment, I'll try to get some. Or if some of you use this mod, please share a screenshot of what you have done.

I would suggest installing it and then find a image you want and give it a try.

[Bubble #5]

Ozzy, do you know of a way to have a background image appear where members type in (create) their post? Years ago there used to be a hack for this but I can't locate it.

[ozzy47]

So you are saying, that when a member would make a post, they could add their own background to the post they made?

[Bubble #5]

No, nothing that fancy (but good idea) :D

Where you type in the post, that area would have a image.

[ozzy47]

Ahh, I dunno I will see what I can come up with.

As far as what I had originally said, I think it is a bad idea, as the posts could get awful ugly looking if users were allowed to add the images.

[ozzy47]

Ok I found a way to do it, in your style open your CSS templates, then find editor.css.

Find this bit of code:
.texteditor.forum .cke_skin_kama textarea.cke_source,
.texteditor.forum textarea {
color: {vb:stylevar editor_text_color};
font: {vb:stylevar postbit_font};
white-space:pre-wrap;
background: {vb:stylevar editor_background};
}
Replace it with this:
.texteditor.forum .cke_skin_kama textarea.cke_source,
.texteditor.forum textarea {
color: {vb:stylevar editor_text_color};
font: {vb:stylevar postbit_font};
white-space:pre-wrap;
background-color: {vb:stylevar editor_background};
background: url(images/chain_gradient.jpg); no-repeat;
}Of course change chain_gradient.jpg to your image that you want to use. And load your image that you want to use to your images folder.

[ozzy47]

Actually not that I think about it, you can have a background image in the editor by editing the stylevar, editor_background by entering the following in the Background Image field:

url(images/chain_gradient.jpg)

Of course change chain_gradient.jpg to your image that you want to use. And load your image that you want to use to your images folder.

Rather than individual members, can usergroup (s) be employed? For example, I could see using this to watermark postbits with a 'Subscriber' logo for members with paid subscriptions. The idea would be that once someone subscribes, they are automatically put into a "subscriber" usergroup, and thus have their postbits denoted as such. Thereby encouraging others to also subscribe.

Sure I believe this will work for usergroups.

Change the following line, which is the fist bit in the code.

<vb:if condition="in_array($post['userid'], array(X,X,X))">

To this:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, X,X,X)">

X being the usergroupid, if that does not work let me know and I will test it out.

[ozzy47]

There is no real update, I just removed the code from the first post, and put it into a txt file.

Very good thanks :)

Very good thanks :)

Thanks, don't forget to mark as installed if you are using it. :)

I have edited in this way, to change from the userid of our bot, to the usergroup that contains the bot, and it works fine

[ozzy47]

Good deal, thanks for reporting back. :)

If you want to use Usergroup ID's instead of User ID's, use this code:



<vb:if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(X,X,X))">




It has worked for me.

What about what I posted on post 15, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2444487&postcount=15

This is a great mod and many thanks

I'm using this and changed it so that it is based on usergroup not user id.

But, is it possible to have it change image based on usergroup? Right now i have background for admin, but all the other usergroups have nothing but i want them to have different ones.

[dolus]

Ok, it tried to change it myself. I added an additional bit to additional.css "postbit_specific_user2".

Then I added the second IF condition to the postbit_legacy template.

<div class="postdetails">
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 6)">
<div class="postbit_specific_user">

<vb:else if condition="is_member_of($post, 2)" />
<div class="postbit_specific_user2">

<vb:else />

It partially works. It does show the correct background for the Usergroup ID 2, but it is not in the same position. It puts it further down the postbit legacy. I think this is because they are in seperate DIVs. Any ideas what I would need to do to fix this?
