Usergroup Badge in memberinfo

[RichieBoy67]

I am looking for a simple plug that will add a usergroup badge in the member info template that is separate from the avatar and profile, etc.

For example, giving all VIP users a big badge that shows up in the memberinfo template using postbit_legacy.

Thanks,
Rich

PS - I am sure I can write the conditionals and image code but I need help with the plug in part.

i know I can probably use the ranks system but I am looking for something I can customize a bit more.

Is the plugin/mod for only 1 usergroup?

[RichieBoy67]

Good question, It would be good to be able to add more but I think I have to think on this a little more.

Thanks for reply

Richie, why not just add something like this to your template.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, X)"><img src="PATH/TO/IMAGE.EXT" alt="$post[username] is VIP member" /></vb:if>

X is the usergroup and PATH/TO/IMAGE.EXT is where you would set the image

Would it not be:
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X)"><img src="PATH/TO/IMAGE.EXT" alt="$post[username] is VIP member" /></vb:if>
As "$post" is to find out if the poster is in a certain usergroup.

But, if you use either of them, will it not only be the person browsing the forum that will see/not see the badge because if someone is in the VIP group, and someone not VIP is browsing their page, they will not see the badge....

No, the way I wrote it, it will show up in the posters postbit if they are a member of X.

And any user looking at a post from anyone in X will see the image. :)

So if I am a member of Y, and you are a member of X, when I look at one of your posts, I will see the image, as will you or anyone else.

Sorry, Have been busy.

Yeah, I already use the conditionals but was looking to do a plug in to make it easier for clients.

I have a couple things intended that do not really work in the standard system such as placement and perhaps more variable for ranking badges but for now I am looking for mainly the plug in that will place the badges in the memberinfo template but for now just the plug in.

I am trying to learn better how to do this with the plug in system. I really need to learn how to write these plug ins. I have a very hard time with getting them to work with custom themes.

Thanks guys for the help and everything,
Rich

By memberinfo you mean in the postbit correct?

[Black Snow]

By memberinfo you mean in the postbit correct?

I think he means in the members profile in the "About me" section. Hence why I mentioned about using a different conditional the $post.

[ozzy47]

Well in the op, he also mentions postbit_legacy, so that is why I asked for clarification. :)

[RichieBoy67]

I meant member info when displayed vertically with postbit legacy.

Thanks guys

[ozzy47]

That's what I thought. :)

If there happens to be a template hook where you want the badge, then it's pretty simple to move what you have from the template to a plugin that sets that hook. If there's no hook then it's a little more complicated because you'd need to do a replacement on the template cache. Edit: No one mentioned that they were working on it. If someone is, then you can ignore my comments :).

[ozzy47]

I might do something for him once I finish my current mod. :)

[RichieBoy67]

I can always count on my good friends here at Vbulletin. You guys are the best!

Isn't this hook available there?
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]

Sorry posted that accidentally, it was meant to have added:
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts].= "<br /><tr><td>YOUR PIC CODE or condition</td></tr>";Of course you'll need to add any class to that containers but i'm guessing that should do the trick :)

[ozzy47]

Right, so it would be something like this, using the hook, postbit_display_complete.

$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts].= "<br /><tr><td><vb:if condition=\"is_member_of($post, X)\"><img src=\"PATH/TO/IMAGE.EXT\" alt=\"$post[username] is VIP member\" /></vb:if></td></tr>";
