in vb3 you do not need to hack the functions_showthread.php

use conditions directly in the templates postbit

eg:

<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 6">
<table style="filter:glow(color=red, strength=6)"><tr><td><font class="bigusername" color="white"><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>
<else />
$post[musername]
</if>


and after it create two new custum-userfields and give the users an option to selelct the two colors ;)

eg:

<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 6">
<table style="filter:glow(color=$bbuserinfo['field29'], strength=6)"><tr><td><font class="bigusername" color="$bbuserinfo['field30']"><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>
<else />
$post[musername]
</if>

$bbuserinfo['field29'] and $bbuserinfo['field30'] are my fieldnumbers

[Dataforce]

as I said it was adapted from the VB2 version which i had used, so i had just taken it directly from my VB2 board, and changed it to work.

atm I'm just doing quick conversion for my old VB2 hacks to VB3 for my members so i'm pretty much following the origonal VB2 instructions but changing the code for VB3

ye your way is more efficient, but my way works - when i come to upgrade my board again I will convert it to use your method.

I would do it now, but i got some other hacks that i need to finish converting

[Schorsch]

do you have a screenshot of the glowing?

[Dataforce]

Attatched Screenshot showing Blue Glow, it shows the same apart from colour for all the other glows.

[rinkrat]

Is there a way that I can only have people with a reputation over 50,000 have the glow?

[Sonic625]

Or perhaps a way to limit it to a certain group?
Thanks,
S

[Dataforce]

Sonic625 it is limited per group, you choose which groups have what coloured glow.

rinkrat sure, just change teh if statement to check the reputation rather than the usergroupid - I don't ahve reputation enabled on my forum so i dunno what the reputation variable is.

[Allan]

i take, thank ;)

[Spacey]

Souli,

Could you post EXACTLY what to do there please!!! im a Hack noob and have no idea where to put those lines of code on my postbit template...

Thank man :)

[Dataforce]

look for the bit with

$post[musername]

in it, and replace that word with whats above

[2k zq8]

Can this be adapted such that the users listed in the 'Currently Active Users' box be identified by color as well... according to user group.

What template would I change for this? What would I need to add?

Thanks :)

[Gizmo]

It gives a good effect :)
Thanx for your work :)

[NameWolf]

Thank you. Nice Hack. *Installed*

[Cyricx]

I'll help a bit :)

My users seems to love playing Title Wars with each other.

So, I took this code and adapted it a bit with some help from peeps.

If you want to give them a secondary title (not the one under the Username).

<if condition="is_member_of($post, 31)"><div style="width:100%; color:white; filter:Glow(color=white, strength=4)">Insert your Title</div></if>

You want to replace the 31 with the usergroup of your choice. And replace the color and strength inside the glow's ().

You can insert those in the postbit_legacy or postbit.

If you have multiple usergroups that you want to have the secondary titles, just do multiple lines of the same code above. :) It'll work. :)

Just thought, I'll help a bit. :) Since it is an adaption of the code given. :)

Where exactly do you post these two new additions in the postbit?

[Raptor]

you dont need to hack anything

admin panel > usergroups > usergroup manager

edit the usergroup you want to change

username html markup there are two boxes

this is what I add....

1st box

<b><table style="filter:glow(color=orange, strength=6)">

2nd box

</table></b>

erm thats it guys ;) (using vb 3.03)

[Carnage]

can't you just use the usergroup html markup options?
