Glowing username hack...

[Elessar]

Ok, first I'm not sure if this is a hack since there's only some template editing to be done, but I was asked to enable every user set up his own glowing username color, so I did the following...

I added a new User Profile Field and named it "Custom glow color" , then I went to phpMyAdmin and checked what is the ID of that field.

After that I went to the postbit template and replaced this:


-------------------

<normalfont><b>$post[username]</b></normalfont><br>

-------------------

with this:

-------------------

<normalfont><b><table style="filter:glow(color=$post[field10], strength=7">$post[username]</table></b></normalfont>

-------------------


where in place of "$post[field10]" comes the number of the "Custom glow color" field.

And my members are happy now. :D

only hack to files not templates should be placed in this room Elessar

its cool and all, but i wish there was a way to do it so it wouldnt be on by default, so only if field 10 is filled, does it go into effect.

any ideas?
