Mod/Admin Name Glow in Active Users

[Warlord]

This is my first "hack" and it is very simple, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone has done it and just not published it. (I didn't see anything like it when I searched the forums for it)

The name of the hack is pretty self explanitory, it changes the Moderators and Administrators names from bold and bold/italic to glowing blue and glowing red. It also updates the legend at the bottom of the active users page to reflect the changes made in online.php.

I installed this on my board and have encountered no problems with it.

Demo:http://www.superherochat.com/vb/online.php?s=
(You will only see glowing names if there is a moderator or Administrator online at the time of your viewing the page)

I set the variables to match my boards color scheme which you may want to change to match your own color scheme.

Let me know what you think. :D

Nice Hack! I installed it and it works great

[Warlord]

Thanks :D

[Psychdrone]

if you could get it to show up on the main page it would be even better ;)

If you don't know how, tell me and I will find some time to do it

[Warlord]

Well I tried that to see how it would look, but since the glow filters have to be inside tables it screws up the layout of the main page active users table.

It ends up putting each username that glows on it's own line, I tried swapping some things around, using the align attribute which helped a little (it put the glow usernames on the same line) but they still didn't end up where they belonged. They were still moved away from the comma's that are supposed to seperate them. So far it just looks funny... if I find a way to do it, I'll let you know...

It worked here also

I had to uninstall this since the links for mod's and admin's disappears with it.
If there is any way that you can keep the mod's and admin's with their link I will reapply this. :)

[Warlord]

Dammit.. I didn't notice that.. I'll see what I can do about it...

(It still appears as a link to me, but they just aren't clickable for some reason. When i hover my mouse over it, it shows the url, but isn't clickable.)

I thought all the bugs were worked out, but maybe someone should move this into beta testing. Unless you just want to take the glow in exchange for the profile link...

[Lucky]

"Not clickable"

That's what I meant.

If this can be fixed I would install.

I wouldn't go so far as to say to put this in the beta though.

Bugs are immenent and this should be an easy fix.

[Warlord]

Well, I looked at it and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it so that you can have both the glow and the profile link. The html needed for the glow filter has to be inside a table which screws some stuff up in php for some reason.
