Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why are all the groups / users are the same color?

A. For those of you not familiar with, or have issue with html markup, here is a quick guide.


Username HTML Markup. ACP --> Usergroups --> Usergroup Manager edit each usergroup, you will need to add the html to the two input fields found in the setting, Username HTML Markup.

NOTE: Your field boxes won't be as wide as the ones in the image, I over-sized them for illustration purposes.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/12/30.png

The first field is the opening tag. The second field is the closing tag. These tags will be inserted around the user's username like this:

[opening tag]username[closing tag] Some HTML tags you might want to use here include:

<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>
<span style="text-decoration: line-through; font-weight:bold;"> </span>
<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>
<span style="color: red;"> </span>
Example 1

First field
<span style="color: Red;"> Second field

</span> Example 2

First field

<span style="color: Blue; font-weight: bold;"> Second field

</span>You can also do combinations by using more than one attribute in the style property.

Q. Wait, I have different colored styles, it is very difficult to choose a color to work on them all, what can I do?

A. Well then you should use this solution. It will take time to set up for each usergroup, but it's worth it.

First off add this code to your additional.css templates for all your styles.
In each style you can define a different color for each group.
You can add more groups or change the names as you wish.

.admin
{
color: #FF0000;
font-weight: bold;
}

.moderator
{
color: #0000ff;
font-weight: bold;
}

.supermod
{
color: #32CD32;
font-weight: bold;
}

.registered
{
color: #802A2A;
font-weight: bold;
}

.banned
{
color: #000000;
text-decoration: line-through;
font-weight: bold;
}

.group1
{
color: #FF8000;
font-weight: bold;
}

.group2
{
color: #A020F0;
font-weight: bold;
}

.group3
{
color: #FFC0CB;
font-weight: bold;
}Then for each usergroups html markup do like this.

Example 1

First field
<span class="admin"> Second field

</span> Example 2

First field

<span class="moderator"> Second field

</span>Remember to change the class to the usergroup you are working with.

You can get a good list of colors here, Color Codes (http://www.december.com/html/spec/colorcodes.html)

The first screenshot is of the settings in the acp.
The second screenshot is of the legend in the What's Going On area.
The third screenshot is of the legend, when it is displayed in the locations, Forumhome Above Forums, Forumhome Below Forums, and Forumhome Below NavBar.

Please can you add option Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243460)

I am use this one : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=259806

[ozzy47]

Spiders display has nothing to do with a usergroup color legend.

[UncleGrundle]

I know this has been done before, I was using the following mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228607&page=26&highlight=Usergroup+Color+Ba

But I really like this version the best because it has many user friendly adjustable options and you have provided EXCELLENT instructions for changing the user color/styles.

Well done and thank you for making this!

Nominated as well.

[ozzy47]

Thanks, glad ya like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[Skyrider]

Installed it, set the usergroups that allows to see it and used multiple Location Of Legend options, yet regardless what option I use, I don't see it on any style I use. And yes, product is active as I've set it to yes as well.

[ozzy47]

That does not make any sense, if yo want me to look into it, pm me a admin account for your site and I will see what I can do.

One thing I've wanted to see on one of these mods is how a similar mod for IP.Board (2.3.6) had setup. You had a bit more of a graphical display of which groups were displayed and could also sort them. Here's how it looked:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/10/6.png



Also, perhaps add the option to link to the usergroup if you have leadership over it (via memberlist.php?usergroupid=<usergroup id>)?

[ozzy47]

Is that how the list would look on the forumhome?

[Faskis]

Is that how the list would look on the forumhome?

It would be in that order, if that's what you mean. The image itself is from that mod I was talking about for IP.Board 2.3.6 (been about 6-7 years). I was thinking if you wanted to conform to how vB normally handles sortable items, list each group and then allow Admins to input the sort number it'd be (ie: 10, 20, 30, etc.) and then let 0 mean the group isn't listed, but that method can be a PITA if you have many usergroups to go through.

[ozzy47]

Yeah that would require quite a bit of coding, and probably some info added to the DB, IMO it is just to much for something that is not seen by the public, and is only for admin control.

[Faskis]

Yeah that would require quite a bit of coding, and probably some info added to the DB, IMO it is just to much for something that is not seen by the public, and is only for admin control.

I wouldn't think it would require as much work as you're giving it off as. I mean, you already have ways of displaying all of the usergroups and then throwing in some text fields to input the sort order has also been done (ie: forum sort). I just find the current method to be an even bigger PITA because I have to go back and forth between the usergroups and the mod settings to figure out where each group should go.

[ozzy47]

True, but how many times do you change the settings once they are set up?

[Faskis]

True, but how many times do you change the settings once they are set up?

For my community personally, we add and remove usergroups (staff and public) fairly often, so I wouldn't say it's necessarily uncommon.

[john7911]

How can i hide de default one, as you can see in the picture:

Hi, i install this plugin but it doesn`t work. Can you help me?

[ozzy47]

Describe doesn't work.

[tenizmenu]

The plugin its active, but he didn`t show me any legend color, not even the "supermoderator" , "administrator" usergroups.

[ozzy47]

Have you set up all the settings in, OzzModz: Usergroup Legend Settings

[tenizmenu]

Yes, I do all the settings...

[ozzy47]

Ok PM me a link to your site, and a full admin account, and I can try and figure what is going on for you.

[tenizmenu]

One more thing: I can`t select any usergroup separator because I have only "none"... why ?

[ozzy47]

New Version Available!

v1.1.0 Fixed a issue where on some installs the product would fail, due to non ASCII character format.

[bzcomputers]

Getting this error when trying to save settings:

Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_options.php on line 1032

When the error appears (which for me is about 90% of the time when trying to save new settings), the "Usergroups Allowed To See The Legend" options don't save.


Edit: After reimporting (twice) I am no longer seeing this issue.
----------------
Also could use an option for padding underneath the legend to match the look of other WGO sections.

[ozzy47]

Glad it finally installed right for you.

I'll look into the padding when I get a chance.

[bzcomputers]

Glad it finally installed right for you.

I'll look into the padding when I get a chance.

It was interesting though. When reimporting I actually ended up with 2 instances of of two of the three plugins associated with the mod. I deleted the duplicates and all seems to be running fine now.

As for the padding I just edited the template and added a margin-bottom:

style="margin-left:20px; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:8px;"
<vb:else />
style="margin-left:-25px; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:8px;"

It appears to look fine for all the options it is associated with.

[ozzy47]

That's a strange one, the latest XML, should have fixed issues like that. :confused:

Is this mod only for vb.org members or it it allowed to post this in another website (keeping credits and a link to the original post). There are a couple of spanish vbulletin sites and I would like to translate it and share:)

I've installed this, and it shows the correct styling for the staff of the site, but any other group is the wrong colour and style.

Any idea how to fix this?

[ozzy47]

Then you have not set the info correctly for the usergroups. This just reads from what is entered in the Username HTML Markup fields.

This works great thanks again..

v1.1.2 Is Available!

Fixed a issue with the collapse not working, and added some padding.

Note: Remember to revert any template changes you may have made, in order to take advantage of the update.

I also made the necessary adjustments to the Arabic and Spanish versions, and added them to the original post.

As for the padding I just edited the template and added a margin-bottom:

style="margin-left:20px; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:8px;"

just away to pm you

You need to edit the settings for the mod, and add the usergroup ID's that you want to show. Also need to put them in the order you want to appear.

ACP --> Settings --> Options --> OzzModz: Usergroup Legend Settings, the setting is Usergroups To Show In The Legend

1. And you can add the word "LEGEND" before the list of user groups?

Not by default, that would require a edit to the template.

Edit the template, ozzmodz_usergroup_legend_legend and find this bit of code ( it is in the template twice, change the second one, not the first one ):

{vb:raw group_legend}

And change it to this:

Legend: {vb:raw group_legend}

Hello.
If I installed a translation to spanish not works, in the field of Option to show which usergroups to show in the legend, every time I indicate the usergroups, when click in save, this field is blank and not appears any in forum page.
With the product in english,any probolem.

Regards.

[ozzy47]

If there is a issue with the Spanish translation of the mod, there is nothing I can do about that. I would suggest, using the original version, and translate the product yourself.

I would do the translation if I could, but I do not speak Spanish.

[gnrx]

No problem, only indicate for if not know this issue, but with the original version I works fine fine.

After, I do a translation, if my translation its fine, I posted here.

Regards.

[ozzy47]

Thanks for the heads up. :)

[gnrx]

Hello.
I made the translation to spanish and works fine, without the issue, but I have other "issue"...

When a some word contain tilde: "á or ó" (for example), appears this:
"módulo"
This word is: "módulo" but appears "módulo".

I don't have how to resolve.

Could remove the tilde but would mispelled.

Regards.

[ozzy47]

Where is this happening, on the forum home, or in the ACP pages?

[gnrx]

In the ACP pages, in forum home not appears any word with tilde, only in ACP pages, in configuration of mod in ACP.

Thanks!

[ozzy47]

Then I don't think it is a issue with the mod, as this uses standard vB phrases. I am not sure what the issue would be.

[ozzy47]

I just tried it on my site, and it shows the letters á or ó fine with the tilde, so I am not sure what is wrong, but it might be some setting in the language settings.

[gnrx]

I search in xml original translation to spanish (made by zucco) for view if contain any configuration or similar, in her xml not success this issue with tildes and not have any specific config for this.
I made translation using the original xml in english, only the phrases, its very strange.

If I go to admincp, search phrases, product this, and insert any phrase with tilde, and then, save the phrase in spanish (correct the character with tilde), then, appears well in admincp, but I need save the phrase.

Regards.

[gnrx]

If you want, sent to you the translation and try if show letters fine with the tilde, if in your forum shows fine, the problem is in my forum.

[ozzy47]

Where did you get your Spanish language pack from?

[gnrx]

I don't remember (I think vbhispano), but this other forum in spanish not exist today.

[ozzy47]

Yeah I would really not rather install anything I don't know where it came from. But you could attach the language xml here and I will take a look.

[gnrx]

I would like to attach the xml corrected, so that any user could confuse.

I think, I can download only the translation (languages and phrases and download the translation into spanish of this product) but the users need 2 xml, 1 of product and other of translation...I think its a bad idea.

[ozzy47]

If you go to ACP --> Languages & Phrases --> Language Manager, next to the Spanish language you will see three links, Edit Settings Delete Download.

Click on Download, in the next screen do not change any settings, then click on Download again.

[gnrx]

I view how solved this issue :)

In the xml of product, not type (for example): "m?dulo", I need type m & # 2 4 3 ; d u l o and appears fine :)

But now, I need know the codes for differents letters with tilde.

[ozzy47]

Well that is certainly strange. :confused:

[gnrx]

In my last reply, not appears the code because the forum transform to character, I edit my last reply, I post the code with spaces.

When I finish the edit the xml with this codes, posted the translation.

PD: Yes, its very strange...

[ozzy47]

I think it is a issue with the character set, attach the language pack here so I can look into it.

[gnrx]

I think the same.

I finished, now shows fine with de code html for tildes.

I attach.

Regards.

Edit: I view the others translations and need insert code html (for example, translation RO).

[ozzy47]

No, not the translation of the product, I want the Spanish language pack. :)

[gnrx]

Ok ok, jejee.

I attach Spanish language pack.

Regards.

[ozzy47]

It must be something in your DB, perhaps the coalition, Because I am able to translate phrases to Spanish such as something like this, módulos el presente capítulo está
And it shows up just fine.

[gnrx]

Its possible.

You translation how it made, in the xml file of product or in Phrases and Languages?

If I made in Phrases and Languages, no problem, all ok, only when I installed the xml of product and the translation are in this xml, but now, if in the xml file I type with the code html, any problem.

[ozzy47]

I translated it in Languages & Phrases. As far as the XML goes, I do not know, as it is something I did not write.

[gnrx]

If I translate it in Language & Phrases, also, all ok, all fine.

Is only with install the xml with the translation in this xml, but like I indicate above, now, works fine because in the xml file I type the word in code html and shows fine.

The translation to Spanish is finished and posted above, works fine fine :)

Its a pleasure speak and work with you :)

[ozzy47]

Thanks for the translation, I am sure some people can use it. :)

[E.P.G]

Is there a list of colours that work with this mod

Question (s) :

Using vBa CMPS here and would like to see this display on the Forum Home Page of the CMPS. Perhaps as a block onthe side, or listing on the top of the page. Which is "cmps_index.php" rather than the default.

Second, and this is more of a whatever really, but it would be nice of there were a way to "Link" a thread to the Usergroup Display, so if someone clicks on it they would be brought to a Thread explaining what each Usergroup is, or does. So For Example...

Administrator : God mode user
Moderator : Someone you ask about this or that
Site Supporter : Someone who gave us Money :P
Weasel : Someone who if you PM them will annoy you for weeks

Or similar if you get what I am saying here, it's one thing to have the different Usergroups displayed, but for some New(er) users having an explination of what each group is and or does may prove useful?

Just a thought.

Otherwise an Excellent MOD indeed! One small note, the MOD does not seem to interpret HTML Colour codes, so FF0000 will appear white rather than Red, where as it does understand "Red"in the html markup of the Usergroup....

Thanks...
