username strikethrough

[CarpCharacin]

I made it so it would strike through banned users usernames. How do i do this with their user title also?

[ozzy47]

In your postbit or postbit_legacy template find:

{vb:raw post.usertitle}And change it to this.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, X)">
<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">{vb:raw post.usertitle}</span></vb:if>
<vb:else />
{vb:raw post.usertitle}
</vb:if>

Where X is your banned usergroup id number.

where do i find the postbit and postbit legacy templates?

[ozzy47]

ACP --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager

[CarpCharacin]

ok i went into the style manager. How do i find the templates? Do i have to edit them on each individual style?

should i use find and replace in templates?

[ozzy47]

Yes each style. Unless of course you have it set up as parent and child styles, then you only have to change the parent.

In the dropdown next to each style, open it and select Edit Templates. From there scroll through the list until you find Postbit Templates. Click on that and then find either postbit, or postbit_legacy ( which ever one you are using ), then double click on that.

i clicked on it, how do i find the postbit and postbit_legacy templates?

UPDATE: i figured it out

[ozzy47]

Find what I told you to, and change it to what I said to change it to, then click on save.

[CarpCharacin]

i did that, and it still does not show up striked through.

[ozzy47]

Pm me a full admin account, and I can look into it for you.

thanks for helping

I am assuming you want this to show in posts correct?

yes. I want to show their user title strikes through on posts and on their profile.

[ozzy47]

Give me a bit, I am going to see if I can make it work with a plugin, instead of editing the templates.

[CarpCharacin]

thanks

[ozzy47]

OK I am going to have to work on it tomorrow. I think I am getting punch drunk. :p

If I can not end up making it work in a plugin, I will change it in the templates.

I may be off base here, but I am thinking it may be as easy as going to the Usergroup Manager and giving your Banned Users usergroup a title such as:

<s>Banned</s>

Then go to:

Maintenance -> General Update Tools -> Update User Titles and Ranks

[ozzy47]

I tried that once, but I will try it again. Maybe I did not update the Titles.

Well it worked, I don't have a clue why it did not earlier, unless I did not update the Titles and Ranks.

I have been burned by that more than once...hehehe. :D

[ozzy47]

I told ya I was getting punch drunk. :P

[ozzy47]

So to sum it up, @CarpCharacin you are all good to go now. :)

ok thanks

[ozzy47]

Not a problem, glad to help. Also thanks to @MarkFL for saving my sanity. :p

[CarpCharacin]

the regular user titles appear to be missing in the posts

[ozzy47]

Add the titles back to them in usergroup manager, then go to Maintenance -> General Update Tools -> Update User Titles and Ranks

[CarpCharacin]

the user titles show up on the profile, but not on the posts.

I think the first thing I would check is to disable the mod you have installed to strike through banned usernames and see if the problem persists...

ozzy47 was planning to make the mod tomorrow. The mod is not made. is it the template edits?

Your initial post:

left me under the impression that you have already installed a mod that will strike through the username of a banned user. It is this mod that I was suggesting you deactivate to see if the problem with the titles not showing persists. :D

[ozzy47]

I fixed it, had to undo the previous template edit. :)
