This is a hack to show a small icon next to usernames on a post, when you mouse over you will also get told what rank they are, Admin, Super Mod or Moderator.

Add the following template
postbit_moderator_icon
<img src="{imagesfolder}/mod.gif" alt="$rank">

save the template

Edit the postbit template and place $mod_logo somewhere on it, i chose next to the username.

open up functions.php

look for

// do posts from ignored users
if (!$ignore[$post[userid]]) {

ABOVE it put

switch($post['usergroupid']) {
case "6";
$rank = "Administrator";
eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
break;

case "5";
$rank = "Super Moderator";
eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
break;

case "7";
$rank = "Moderator";
eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
break;

default:
$mod_logo = "";
break;
}

save and upload functions.php

The hack will now work, but if you want to save on the extra query to the database to get the template.

Open showthread.php and add

,postbit_moderator_icon to the end of $templatesused you will have to do this twice.

attached is the mod logo i used

If you plan to do it for all staff usergroups it means doing some queries on the database. I'll lookin into it though.

for usergroups, do this:
in functions.php add:$post[usergroupicon]='<img border="0" src="{ imagesfolder }/usergroup'.$post[usergroupid].'.gif">'then add usergroup1.gif to usergroup7.gif in your images folder.
in your postbit, place $post[usergroupicon] where you want.

As requsted by me a long time ago. ;) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37559

Edit: Wow, this version seems to be much nicer on the database. The other one had about 60-80 queries on the showthread. Now they're way back down.

Scott MacVicar

05-01-2002, 10:05 PM

doesn't have any queries :P

Did the other one have a lot? Because it went down from the 60-80 to 30-40.

it will be better, if admin can set in admin cp icons for each usergroup!

Scott MacVicar

the whole point of the hack was to give this feature without adding on all the extra queries, the only solution is to add the extra query for each usergroup, so if you have 9 usergroups thats 9 queries.

ok, i know it! it's easy!

Add a column called usergroupicon to your usergroup table.

in your showthread.php add

$icon = $DB_site->query("SELECT usergroupid,usergroupicon FROM usergroup ORDER by usergroupid");
while($icons = $DB_site->fetch_array($icon)) {
$icon_cache["$icons[usergroupid]"] = $icons[usergroupicon];
}
unset($icons);
$DB_site->free_result($icon);

You then add global $icon_cache; in the getpostbit function in /admin/functions.php and then just add $icon_cache["$post[usergroupid]"] in the postbit template. I think, not tested this is all off the top of my head.

Is there anyway to modify this to make it do something like this:

Username
User Title
Rank (User Group)

But I only want the user title bold and the rank displayed if they are Mod, Super Mod, or Admin. Can this be converted to do this cleanly, and if so how?

Scott MacVicar

em yeah just change the postbit_moderator_icon template to

$rank

Wow... Dynamic :p

That's not exactly what I want. I want the user title to be bold, not the rank.

Neo

in post bit find

$post[username]

and replace with

$post[username]

Umm, usertitle not username, and I only want the title to be bold if they are a moderator, super moderator, or administrator. I could do all the other suggestions myself. :)

switch($post['usergroupid']) {
case "6";
$rank = "Administrator";
$post[usertitle] = "$post[usertitle]";
break;

case "5";
$rank = "Super Moderator";
$post[usertitle] = "$post[usertitle]";
break;

case "7";
$rank = "Moderator";
$post[usertitle] = "$post[usertitle]";
break;

default:
$rank = "";
break;
}

use that code in your getpostbit function in /admin/functions.php

Where exactly would you add this in the getpostbit function? :)

Great hack! (5 Stars)

I have modified this to add 3 different .gif files for each user group.

Mod, SuperMod, and Admin.

You can use your own .gif files or use the ones included.

All credit goes out to PPN! ;)
