User Color Legend

[bigcurt]

Well, I go by and see ALOT of forums that have the HTML markup in there usergroup settings but noone can really tell what they mean cause it doesnt show it anywhere. So I was looking through the templates and was just trying different places to put a Color Legend. There are a BUNCH of ways to do this modification, if you want to get fancy with it, you please do so and post your results :). Hope you have fun.

I also tried to follow the forum home modification rules to the "T" so all the instructions, ect are in the zip file to the left :) file. This modification is nothing, it is just html in the template, nothing big whatsoever.

This modofication should support all 3.0.X versions. I have not tested on the new betas, the only version I have tested on is 3.0.3.

Here is a LIVE DEMO of the hack down at the bottom by the Who is online box.

Srry about that !

Works great ,Thanks

[bigcurt]

haha, thanks for interested bud. Take care

[cheech4487]

I cannot seem to get the usergroups members to show up in the color of the usergroup. Any suggestions?

[bigcurt]

well to make the members a specific html color that has nothing to do with my hack that is a admincp setting in usergroup settings..click on the usegroup and around the name of it, it should say something like HTML markup...in that space you put the html hex code of what colro you want for that usergroup..if ya need more help just ask bud ;).

[Dead End Society]

Installed, I love it.

[bigcurt]

Nice, 11 installs and counting :-D lol

[boo.3]

/me clicks install ! i've wanted a easyer way to do this! thanks

[bigcurt]

once again, thanks for install :). Have fun!

[cheech4487]

Done! Thanx bigcurt!

[bigcurt]

Np man, have fun!

[bigcurt]

K, answered your PM man, tell me if you need anymore help

[cmiller1014]

It seems like there should be an easier way to automatically generate this key since all the data is stored in the admin cp. I am constantly changing / adding user groups and cant possibly keep up with adding the html myself :(

[akanevsky]

* Dark Visor installs =) lol
What the hell?

EDIT:
Let's see:
/you blablabla

EDIT:
Doesn't work. The question above remains...

[bigcurt]

yes, I am sure there is a way but that would be php more than likely and I am not quite ready for that :( sorry. I will develop it soon though, sorry for the late responce.

[Dark Riku]

cool, i was just about to have and do this myself... but nice job

[bigcurt]

Thanks Riku

[Dark Riku]

hey, if you want, ive got a nice idea for this, look at what i did to it on my site, if you want to make it like that, ill give you the code, its pretty simple...

www.gfxwiz.net/forums/

[bigcurt]

Yep, post the code here so other users can look at it..if you want I will also add your version into my modification above, and I will add you as coauthor. Just whatever ya wanna do ;). Good job.

[SlipNslide281]

Maybe there should be a button that says downloaded but to dumb to install. I would click that button all day. :nervous:

[Gunshot]

I just added these at the bottom of the Stats table

in forumhome

find:

u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div> <br align="center">

add after:

(<font color="#hex color"><b>Administrator</b></font>)

then add as many as you like

[Sleepyk]

* Sleepyk installs =) lol I DONT GET IT!

[Sleepyk]

if i put in Open Template in Admin CP: FORUMHOME


-----------------Locate--------------

<div>$activeusers</div>

----------------Place ABOVE----------


<i>Legend:</i><font color="HTML MARKUP CODE OF USERGROUP HERE">[<b>USERGROUP</b>]</font>
Continue until all your colored usergroups are listed.......


As an option that I like, after listing all your usergroups and color codes, place a
<br>
<br>

After the code, that way it gives space between the currently active users :).

EXAMPLE:

CODE HERE...blah blah
<br>
<br> it will just have text everywhere, whats the actual code?

[Sleepyk]

ok so should it be

Open Template in Admin CP: FORUMHOME


-----------------Locate--------------

<div>$activeusers</div>

----------------Place ABOVE----------


<i>Legend:</i><font color="ff0000">[<b>Admins
</b>]</font>
<font color="ffffff">[<b>Super Mods
</b>]</font>
<font color="333333">[<b>Mods
</b>]</font>
<font color="ff0660">[<b>members
</b>]</font>
<font color="ffff00">[<b>Noob
</b>]</font>
<br>
<br>


----------Finished-------------------------

????

[bigcurt]

Yea, I mean you can choose any color you want..just using the color codes..it doesnt matter.

~Curt

[Sleepyk]

yeah that was jus default stuff

ok hoping u still on
how i have color go everywhere else like users past 24 hrs, b-day, last 10 posts, etc?

[bigcurt]

Just move it around in that template FORUMHOME..and look for that, ect..its just simple HTML, hard to mess up just as long as you MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR TEMPLATE :).


~Curt

[Sleepyk]

i mean to make them actually color

[bigcurt]

I am still not quite getting what you are trying to ask me bud...

Anyway I updated the instructions thanks to princeton for the VALID XHTML code.

Sorry for posting this a little later, i was waiting for a PM, then i just forgot about it. Heres my code, for the legend to be in a collapseable table style.

Find:
------------------------
$todayloggedinusers
------------------------
Below Add:
------------------------
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onClick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_legend')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_legend" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_legend].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>Legend
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_legend" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_legend]">

<tr>

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/user_today.gif" alt=" Legend" border="0" /></td>

<td class="alt1" colspan="0"><div class="smallfont">
<i>Legend:</i><font color="COLOR">[<b>Administrator</b>]</font>, <font color="Orange">[<b>Moderators</b>]</font>, <font color="COLOR">[<b>Super Mods</b>]</font>
</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>

**Note: Replace COLOR with the color that you want the name to be in.

To add more ranks, add
, <font color="COLOR">[<b>GROUP NAME</b>]</font>
after the others.

And Upload this image, you dont have to use it, but make sure you have a image to replace it with with same name if you dont want to use it.

I'd swear I saw this mod for vB3 already, but I can't seem to find it. So, thanks for sharing. :)

[italks]

One thing i cant understand is i have included the colour legend on forumhome page.

But will it change colours in users online i dont think so.

How to do that.Since i applied on my forums i gave red colour to administrator i.e. Myself but in user online it shows in deafualt colour for everyone.

Nope :), your probably talking about amy's hack for vB 3.5.

[puertoblack2003]

just curious next to the lengend colors how can you add the members icon i've seen it on another site tried searching but no luck

example:http://img278.imageshack.us/img278/4622/green1qw.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[PJSkiboy]

anyone know why firefox wouldn't display the text color changes?

[Rickie3]

clicks install,thankyou,all colours showing fine for me on firefox.

[PJSkiboy]

clicks install,thankyou,all colours showing fine for me on firefox.

I use both I.E. and Firefox and it works in IE no problems, but not Firefox. And I'm having Firefox users on my site saying some can view it and others can not.

I thought maybe it was a setting in Firefox somewhere, but I've yet to discover it if it is. I'll keep trying some different things, but if anyone encountered this and knows something, please pass along some information if possible.

Thanks.

[Rickie3]

version of firefox?? if you follow link in my signature using firefox you will see the colours are showing fine in my forum

[PJSkiboy]

yeah, i actually opened your site in firefox and it did work fine in yours. i don't know what setting i could have that's keeping others from seeing it on my site.

open up http://www.xboxliveleagues.com/forums/index.php in firefox and see if you see the user legend colored along with the hyperlink user names color coded. it works perfectly in IE, but no go in firefox for me and several members.... i'm lost.

you're also using version 3.0.9 of vbulletin whereas i'm using 3.0.7 , although, i don't know that it's a vb version issue.

[Dark Riku]

it looks fine to me in firefox... clear your cookies maybe.

To nievesidenshop
I no that they have this on phpNUKE. you might be able to do this from the usergroup editor. And you would have to add it in the legend code again if you did figure it out.

To italks
You have to edit the html markup in adminCP in the usergroup editor page. you type in the same thing that you typed in on the legend almost, you type in [*font color=red] without the * in the first block and [*/font] in the other block. That is how you make the usergroup a different color. If that was what you were looking for.

[bigcurt]

Yes, it should work fine in ALL web browsers :).



~Curt

[PJSkiboy]

with firefox, you must can't specify the actual hex code for the colors you must enter the colors as such: <font color="red"> </font>

I changed over from the hex code to just the quoted names and it worked like a charm.

[bmroyer]

I can't view color in firefox nor IE. I can't get it to display on my portal, but I thought for sure I could in forums. All it shows is the legend colors.
Here is my code in forumhome
<em>Legend:</em><strong style="color:blue">[Administrator]</strong>
<strong style="color:cyan">[Moderator]</strong>
<strong style="color:yellow">[Super Moderator]</strong>
<strong style="color:black">[Member]</strong>
<div>$activeusers</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>

The code you have in the Forumhome template is simply for the legend. To change the colors of the usernames logged in on your site, you'll have to go into usergroup settings from within the admin cp.

Go into usergroups. Then go into usergroup manager. Then do an edit usergroup for each usergroup.

Choose Username HTML Markup.

Insert something like <font color="black"> in the first box, then close it off with </font> in the second box. (Obviously replace "black" with whatever color you want for that usergroup, etc...)

That should do the trick for you.

[bmroyer]

it worked, thanks!

[bigcurt]

Yes, this is just a legend of the HTML markup you have, just like he said, sorry you didnt understand.

[oldfan]

I was wandering how do you arrange how the grups are displayed? because its all mixed up in the legend at the moment.

I have a question for you.. I have several index.php's.. which one do I edit? The one in the main folder doesn't have that text, and I don't want to put it somewhere it isn't supposed to be. help? thanks. :)

I have a question for you.. I have several index.php's.. which one do I edit? The one in the main folder doesn't have that text, and I don't want to put it somewhere it isn't supposed to be. help? thanks. :)

You you are supposed to edit it through the admincp. Find the FORUMHOME template and you can use the 'find' feature to find the code you need to locate to edit the template.

To find the template, you click,

Admincp>Style manager>Edit templates>forum display templates> FORUMHOME.

thats the template you need.

[j1mmy]

Great plug-in, but how can i edit this to work on secondary usergroups?

[buidoi]

y can't i find the code on my post lengend skin

[FRANKTHETANK 2]

I love it good stuff bro.

[bullboykennels]

Yes this does work perfectly in VB 3.6.4

Great work on it by the way.

[bigcurt]

[bigcurt]

To update everyone - this does work with 3.6 and all versions below.

Yep - sure is. Make sure to click install as well if you use it :).

[oldfan]

[Warion]

[shotkey]

The colors work fine but when I enable this it adds a second set of legends (the ones with the [] brackets) on top of the ones that are supposed to be shown - see below. Disabled everything is normal - anybody have any ideas on whats wrong?
