Colored Online Users Hack

[Afterburner]

With this hack you have colored usernames of: - Administratoren (ID:6)
- Supermoderatoren (ID:5)
- Moderatoren (ID:7) und
- registred Members (ID:2)
in your Onlinelist on the mainpage.
You have to enable "Highlight Admin" in your CP, if not all is shown like the registrated members (blue)

Orginal settings of this hack:

Administrator: "red"
Supermoderator: "darkred"
Moderator: "green"
Member: "blue"

You can change the color in the Index.php(3) (there is a remark)

[The Realist]

I dont know if there is an error somewere, but when I install this hack all my users, mods all dissapear from the online list, all thats showing and working is admin, all in red?

Whats happening and how can I fix this.

:)

[Afterburner]

to fix it use the backup of the index.php follow the instructions in the readme correctly, remember this hack is only for version 2.2.0

[rlculver]

Great hack - Thanks

[The Realist]

look in your CP to the place where you can edit the membergroups, if you go over the gals-link you can see the ID in the status bar of your browser

[Barret]

Thanks man it worked.....great job!

[NYI Fan]

This worked great! I modified it a bit to include the bold and italics that 2.20 incororated, and it looks great!

Thank you!

[squawell]

how to add another usergroup??

like unregistered and wait email confirmation grouds??

[NYI Fan]

squawell;
Since these groups won't show up in who's online, I'm not sure that you need to...
But since I am far from the expert, i'll let Afterburner or one of the more experienced folks confirm that

Another hack I installed in mins :)

Thanks

Bimma Boy

[VolsReport]

Thanx afterburner...Installed it and works great...

[netman]

I have a question. I installed this hack and it works great but my problem is this:

I aslo installed the welcome text at the top of my board. I modified the fourmhome template. It says Welcome back, $username. The text is the correct color unitl I add you hack and then the username become the color of the group it is in. I only want the usernames to be the different colors in the users online at the bottom. Is this even possible. From what I can see with the hack installed it looks at the $username variable.

Thanks,
Netman

[The Realist]

This hack works 99% but I have a little problem that stops it working the other 1%.

I've just upped the status of one of my members to moderator but his name has not turned green but stays blue regardless what I do.

I later Increased the status of another member to moderator and this one worked 100% no problems.

The only thing I can think of is the first members name is is in caps and 9 letters, were the second member is only 4 letters and in lower case............. but what throws out this theorie is that all other mods, super mods and us admins and all mixed caps and lower case and all works fine.

Its just this one members Im having problems with?

So is it........... strange or what?

:confused: confused!

[Afterburner]

are this 2 moderators in the same (orginal) member group ?

[The Realist]

Yes

[Afterburner]

mmmm, dont know the reason, maybe try "update counters" --> member titles

[The Realist]

I have.

Strange because I upgraded another member to moderator and it happened to him as well, staying blue?

[Afterburner]

sure the same orginal moderator usergroup ?
does it work with other moderators correctly ?

[The Realist]

Yes works fine with all other colured groups, its just moderator that I have the problem with.

The way Im increasing there status is by going into there info via admin panel and upgrading them from registered to moderator.

I have done this loads of times but I have found that now I have 2 moderators who were registered that I cannot get there colour to change at all.

Strange!

[Bop2Bop]

thank you, i know this is well appriciated :rolleyes:

[DelusionalMind]

Ummm......I installed it on my beta forums and it worked perfectly, but then I installed here:

http://www.tribesplaying.com/forums/

I changed the color code to this:


$username = "<font color=#00FFCC>$loggedin[username]</font>"; // Color for normal Member or "Highlight Admin" is turned of


For some reaon it shows up as blue......while one or two of the people on show up with that color....I don't get it...it should be working...but I don't get why it won't

Anyone??? Thanks :)

On my board it works perfectly...nice hack :)

[Afterburner]

Is "Highlight Admin" is turned off in your board ?

[DelusionalMind]

on the board posted it it says "yes" for highlight admin

but why would it give the mesed-up color to members?

[Lucky]

Great work.

[69-FLy-gUy]

Can anyone help me to get this to work when there are other user groups? i tried but it doesn't workj

thanks

Ciao

[Lucky]

.

[Lucky]

up

[69-FLy-gUy]

What is the error that they are getting??

I don't know that this could cause mods not to login... as this has nothing to do with the mod index.php.....

Ciao

[Lucky]

Great hack!

[certify]

[Lucky]

[mondaynightmike]

I am also experiancing the problem of one of my moderators staying blue. I changed them to moderator, and it stays blue yet my other mods go to the correct colour. I could not find an answer in ther previous posts and wondered if anyone knew how to fix it???

Know that the 8 stands for the new user group that you want. You can change this to whatever usergroup the Newbie falls into.
You can add the same thing below your additions for any other additions, just change the usergroup #.

You would add this:
} else if (($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 8) and $highlightadmin) {
$username = "<font color=darkred>$loggedin[username]</font>"; // Color for Newbie

Right before this:
} else if (($mod["$userid"]) and $highlightadmin) {
$username = "<b><font color=green>$loggedin[username]</font></b>"; // Color for Mod

Then you would add this:
} else if (($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 8) and $highlightadmin) {
$username = "<font color=darkred>$loggedin[username]</font>"; // Color for Newbie

Right before this:
} else if (($mod["$userid"]) and $highlightadmin) {
$username = "<b><font color=green>$loggedin[username]</font></b>"; // Color for Mod

Yes,

After you change your member to a Moderator you must add them to a particular forum as a moderator for the color to change.

Example:

Find the user in the admin cp. Change them to Moderator.
Then go to Forums & Moderators->Modify->add a moderator.

Then it will bring up the correct color.

Hope this helps you.

[datatec]

Hey thanks Lucky lol

I will try it.... hehe

Can I say, as a newbie, i am finding this very rewarding to learn something new.....

Thanks again....

[datatec]

Hi Lucky

Sorry bud, tried it, probs ......

I have attached a pic showing my usergroups

Could you please tell me how I can put these in order eg:
admin
sup mod
mod
etc etc...

How did/do you get these respective number for thus "8 stands for the new user group"

Maybe if i sort that first then try color hack again, hopefully it will work.......lol

Many thanks in advance

[Lucky]

If you go to online users you will be able to see what usergroup number the usergroup is as it will display in your status bar when you hover over the who's online per usergroup. Then just use that number.

[datatec]

:confused: :surprised: :tired: :confused: :ogre:

Sorry Lucky I am now confused :classic:

Just hovered over online users and could not see numbers

:disappointed: :cross-eyed: :ermm:

[datatec]

Please be patient with me - still a newbie, but enjoying every moment lol

I have attached 3 pics: forum view, admin view and index view

I have one problem now: The colors do not work to the user group.

I have tested with new members and put them under the right user group, but they do not show in color....

Can some kind sole help please.....

Thanks in advance

[datatec]

here is my user groups

[datatec]

Here is my index

Thanks

[N00BIE]

hmmm this would be good know how to enter other groups ??

[Sven]

Would it be possible to change this hack to show the buddies of a member viewing "who's online" in a different color?

[Floris]

I was already using this, but never got around to thank you and pressing install. I just did that.

I had this installed from 2.2.1 to 2.2.6 without any problems.

Thank you, nice hack.

[ForKmaN]

Works a charm on 2.2.6 :)

thanks

VERY easy to install

[ForKmaN]

Thought I'd attach an image of what I did with it ..

:)

[tester94]

If I create a new user group, How do I add the new color setting in this hack for this group. I think among other things, I need to know the group id. How do I know the group id?

[Afterburner]

CP--> usergroups --> modify and go with your mouse over the link and you can see the ID in the statusline of your browser

[P45.net]

Sexy!!!!!!
Works lovely! :cool:

[Dynamic One]

Thanks for this m8. Now I can easyly seperate my members.

[Mithan]

Afterburner:

Is this hack only going to work with the Browse list on the main page?

How would I edit it to color the people actually browsing individual forums?

Thanks.

[Afterburner]

only on the main page

[Mithan]

Would you by chance know which hack lets people edit the in-forum Browsers? I spent all night trying to find it, but I couldn't :(

[iori_gerzo]

with the version 2.2.9 no run :( why?

[350Chevy]

It works fine with 2.2.9...

[N9ne]

Originally posted by Mithan

Look in forumdisplay.php, the code in there is almost the same (if not exactly the same) as index.php's code (for online users' text decoration).

[Zalbard]

When more than one person is on, the following happense:

Dark Lord
• Administrator • Supermoderator • Moderator • Member
, kamikaziboy
• Administrator • Supermoderator • Moderator • Member

First off, why is their a , before kamikazyboy? I'm dark lord, and I don't have that! Whats the matter with it? Please help!

[Zalbard]

Edit: I put a brea kin on accident, sorry! Never mind this post please!

[digitalJE5U5]

Its a nice idea man. I really appreciate the effort, but I just wish there was an easier way to change the colors. Sucks having to edit index.php and reup it every time you try and tweak the colors to match skin.

/DJ

[Blue Moose Aaron]

I have different styles on my board and on one the active users looks good but the other it's really hard to read. How can I modify it for both styles?

[digitalJE5U5]

You can't. If the coding was done in templates, yes. But the colors are hard-coded into the php.
:(

[Blue Moose Aaron]

Son of a...there has to be a way to use CSS

[Graphics]

This hack works on 2.2.9 ;)
Thnx for the great hack :)

[Mr. Brian]

It works fine with all other colured groups, but just encountered problems with my S.Mod as it shown in green instead of darkred.

Hope someone can help.

Thanx

i do it in 2.30
all work good but Moderator its show blue names?????? :( :(
what errer ??in it

[BlackDeath]

i don't know if this has been said yet, but the color you have for mods is only when that person is a local mod and not part of the user group mod. below is a change i made to it so both mods of specific forums and user group mods show the same color. this will also explain how to add different user groups if you look at the original code and compare it to mine.

if ($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 6 and $highlightadmin) {
$username = "<b><i><font color=red>$loggedin[username]</font></i></b>"; // Color for Admin
} else if (($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 5) and $highlightadmin) {
$username = "<b><font color=lightblue>$loggedin[username]</font></b>"; // Color for Supermod
} else if (($mod["$userid"]) and $highlightadmin) {
$username = "<b><font color=yellow>$loggedin[username]</font></b>"; // Color for Mod Local
} else if (($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 7) and $highlightadmin) {
$username = "<b><font color=purple>$loggedin[username]</font></b>"; // Color for Mod Group
} else {
$username = "<font color=lightgrey>$loggedin[username]</font>"; // Color for normal Member or "Highlight Admin" is turned of
}
// Afterburners Colored OnlineUserHack End

[timo_copts]

thank u.... i fixed it

[magna]

Nice Job

Can this be modified to be used with "Number of Active users today" It would be very nice there because there are usually many more names to decifer.

Thanks

[magna]

Also can we make the "Currently active users" visable to admins only?

Thanks

[bgray]

I'd love to get this hack working but for some reason when I install it ONlY the 1st and last member on my online users list show up.

It doesn't matter how many are online only the 1st and last are visible when I have this installed.

Anyone know why?

[xs1]

[Killa2002]

[iCE[F]EVER]

[Pyromate]

[FlyBoy73]

Has a new version been made available for vb3 gold+?

Can you convert this to work with 3.01?

thank you!

[Capt. GannA]

to fix it use the backup of the index.php follow the instructions in the readme correctly, remember this hack is only for version 2.2.0

you mean it wont work on vb 3.0.1? :(

[Sylvus]

Obviously not, considering you're in the 2.x hack forum :)

Syl...

[Logan70]

So, is there sometihng that will work for v.3?

[Behrooz_Ice]

hello all
i want this hack code < Colored Online Users Hack > for vbulletin 3.0.x like 3.0.7
please give me this hack for this version of vbulletin. thank you.

[The Realist]

3.0.7 already has this facility and does not need a hack at all. Go into the admin panel then usergroups and choose a usergroup you want coloured.

Then where it says Username HTML Markup enter the following:

1st box: <span style="color: xxxxxxx;">
2nd box: </span>

The xxxxxxx are hex codes for what ever colour you want and thats all it is, no hack needed.

Laters


hello all
i want this hack code < Colored Online Users Hack > for vbulletin 3.0.x like 3.0.7
please give me this hack for this version of vbulletin. thank you.

[delilah429]

I did this and it isn't working - do i take out the semi-colon ? quotes?

[The Realist]

Try in Username HTML Markup boxes:

1st box: <span style="color: #FF0000;">
2nd box: </span>

Or

1st box: <font style="color: #FF0000;">
2nd box: </font>

#FF0000 is red can use any colour you want.

Laters

[delilah429]

this is exactly what i typed in the User HTML Markup box:

<span style="color: FF3399";>

second box: </span>

didnt change

i tried

<font="color:FF3399;">

second box: </font>

didn't change

???

[delilah429]

figured it out - i was missing the # in front of the code for the color.... oops!

[The Realist]

The # is in my post :)

But glad its working.

[womensden]

hmm... I did this by simply going into the usercp --> usergroups --> and adding a color in the Username HTML markup. Simple as that.

Does this hack do something that doing this wouldn't?

ETA: I see someone else did the same. However, I didn't use "span" code. I just used font code, italics, bold, etc...

[T_Montana]

How would i make usernames bold with color.What would i type in he first box if say i wanted the username bold and red?

[The Realist]

Simple HTML

Sample in bold, italic using arial font (do it in Frontpage):

<font style="color: FF3399; font-weight:700; font-style:italic" face="Arial"> admin </font>

1st box: <font style="color: FF3399; font-weight:700; font-style:italic" face="Arial">

2nd box: </font>

How would i make usernames bold with color.What would i type in he first box if say i wanted the username bold and red?

[womensden]

you dont have to put all of that. Why not just put <font color="red"><b> and the closing tags in the second box (of course). It's that easy.
