Little help

[cshellworld]

How can i color only the name Started By name but name to be colored

look at picture , just the black marked username depending by usergroup

Thanks in advance

That whole line "Started by xxxx, date" is under the class of label. So, if you use CSS to change the class label to another color, that whole like will get changed. Therefore, you would need to edit the template to add a class only around those two words.

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

Here's what you can do:

1.) Create a new phrase:

Language: MASTER LANGUAGE

Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Product: vBulletin

Varname: m_started_by_x_y_z_a

Text:

<span class="label">Started by&nbsp;<a href="{1}" class="username understate" title="Started by {2} on {4} {5}">{3}</a>{6},&nbsp;{4}&nbsp;{5}</span>

Click "Save"

2.) Create new plugins:

First plugin:

Product: vBulletin

Hook Location: threadbit_display

Title: Username Markup In Threadbit (threadbit)

Execution Order: 5

Plugin PHP Code:

global $db, $vbulletin;

$authors = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT user.*
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
WHERE userid = " . $thread['postuserid']
);

$author = $db->fetch_array($authors);

if ($author['displaygroupid'])
{
$groupid = $author['displaygroupid'];
}
else
{
$groupid = $author['usergroupid'];
}

$open_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['opentag'];
$close_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['closetag'];

$thread['postmusername'] = ($open_tag . $thread['postusername'] . $close_tag);

Plugin is Active: Yes

Click "Save"

Second Plugin:

Product: vBulletin

Hook Location: search_results_threadbit

Title: Username Markup In Threadbit (search_results)

Execution Order: 5

Plugin PHP Code:

global $db, $vbulletin;

$authors = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT user.*
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
WHERE userid = " . $thread['postuserid']
);

$author = $db->fetch_array($authors);

if ($author['displaygroupid'])
{
$groupid = $author['displaygroupid'];
}
else
{
$groupid = $author['usergroupid'];
}

$open_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['opentag'];
$close_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['closetag'];

$thread['postmusername'] = ($open_tag . $thread['postusername'] . $close_tag);

Plugin is Active: Yes

Click "Save"

3.) Edit templates (for each style you want to change): threadbit, threadbit_deleted, search_threadbit

Find each instance of:

{vb:rawphrase started_by_x_y_z_a, {vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}, {vb:raw thread.postusername}, {vb:raw thread.startdate}, {vb:raw thread.starttime}, {vb:stylevar dirmark}}

and change it to:

{vb:rawphrase m_started_by_x_y_z_a, {vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}, {vb:raw thread.postusername}, {vb:raw thread.postmusername}, {vb:raw thread.startdate}, {vb:raw thread.starttime}, {vb:stylevar dirmark}}

Did you edit the templates for the style you are using to view your forum? (I don't mean to come off like I am asking you if you plugged in the appliance...:))

I need to work this into a product, so it works in all styles with no template edits. As it is now, those db queries are being run no matter which style you are using. I will do this soon. :)

Good stuff !!!! thank you Mark !!!

[MarkFL]

I have attached a product file that will add the phrase for you, and then modify the 3 templates to use the new phrase. :)

edit: I added a plugin that will add username HTML markup to the "Last Post By" Information and anywhere else it does not already exist for the "memberaction_dropdown".

So we can install this product and it will overwrite the previous changes?

I would undo the template changes, and delete the phrases and plugins first then install the product. :)

Why just not use this mod, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=290368&highlight=Markup then the markup shows everywhere. Or am I missing something?

Does that work for 4.1.x?

[ozzy47]

AFAIK it does.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Ok good stuff Ozzy ty !!!

[cshellworld]

Good , that is the thing what i'm looking. thanks mark

[CAG CheechDogg]

Mark My Man check this out, after I added those 2 plugins to do the markup for the threadbit, threadbit_deleted, search_threadbit I get the following...notice the username's are displayed twice?


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2016/01/18.jpg

[MarkFL]

All I can figure is that the threadbit template for 4.1.x is slightly different than that for 4.2.x, and the str_replace() function I use to modify the templates isn't working as planned. :)

[CAG CheechDogg]

I got this to work with the manual template edit to the threadbit template, disabled Modify Templates For New Phrase, Username Markup In Threadbit (forumdisplay) and Username Markup In Threadbit (Last Post By) from the plugins and activated Username Markup In Threadbit (search_results) and Username Markup In Threadbit (threadbit) from the manual plugins created ....maybe this will help out ...
