That doesn't work everywhere, though. ;)

It also sounds like it will add a query for every time it is called, which can be many times per page.

That....is a good point. I didn't look at the code for the fetch_musername function and assumed it was magically optimized for being called a million times.

I'll have to look into this one more. The easier solution would probably be to keep most of this mod's code & modify the memberaction dropdown template.

Edit: Actually, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the fetch_musername function makes use of the vBulletin cache. Also doesn't look like it's causing any undue load.

And hey, Boofo! I use your mods! (not on this account)

It can use the cache but my thinking is most of those values would not be cached- it would be a simple enough check- it should report the number of queried on the bottom of the page - see if there is any difference on a page like forumhome or forumdisplay with the plugin enabled or disabled.

I'm not sure there would be a difference- just something to consider.

No, in that hook you are okay. I did the fetch_musername for a mod in that hook and it added no queries.

On which account?

It works in many places, but it doesn't work in SHOWTHREAD, showing thread starter's name in markup.

Anyway, your plugin is really good quick fix for those that don't need it there. :up:

I love this.
But, is it possible to deselect some user groups currently using it?
I only want Administrator accounts using it.

Many thanks for this mod! I have been searching for it for two days, and finally asked in the general questions! Works great on 4.2!

Having an issue with this mod on VB 4.2.0 see attached image

The HTML Markup I have is as follows
also tried it without the image in the markup same issue

any advice ?

Fixed thanks again Boofo, however when using an image with it still dont look right disabled for now :)

have the same problem
any fix for this problem for 4.2.0 ?

I've read through the whole thread now and this will fix on 4.2.0

Example
you will notice I've used ' instead of " and added title='Mod'

I have the same problem with vb 4.2
The mod does not work because it duplicates the nickname

I'm waiting
very nice mod
thanks

not working on my forum
if i installed put </a> front of html code ... user cannot click on username

see below my HTML Markup to use

Example

Morea clearly for all who see is online and is offline mesasge next to the name,in the markup dont use " and use this '

Is there a way to make it display a users DISPLAYGROUP not PRIMARY usergroup?

any fix for this problem for 4.2.0 ?

I installed this mod today. If you're using the LAST POST AVATAR DISPLAY on FORUM HOME mod in conjunction with this mod? Be warned. It will delete your LAST POST avatar from the forum home. I also tried reinstalling it. And it didn't delete the avatar that time, but it did show html code from the color markup when hovering over the avatar picture.

Here's the specific problem I am having with this mod...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/6.jpg

The html code for the usergroup colors? Shows up in the yellow highlight box whenever you mouse over the avatar on forum home. I need the mod designer to show me how to hide this from showing up in the yellow box.

2 time Name showing in 4.2.0
Can u fix it ?
Thanks

I have a similar (if not the same) issue...

Its been broken since day 1, developer isn't going to be fixing it. Someone else needs to delve into the code either to rewrite how its done so it shows up properly or just ignore it.

Removed, need to get permission :(

Subscribed, waiting for a fix.

I don't think that there will be a fix. I don't want to remove the mod, because it makes the forum look nice, but I would like to figure out a fix for the hover showing the details, like ssoc showed above. I would think that it would be alright for someone to tell us what changes we would need to make in the XML file to accomplish this, since the designer has left it untouched!

If you look at the HTML source the Title tag has the Span info stuck into it for some reason. Someone would need to edit the original code to not inject the custom tags into the title tag.

Is it as simple as removing that line of code, or would you need to replace that line with another conditional tag for mouse over?

I don't want it to say "Administrator" or "Moderator" for the title tag in all places and for all users. I'd like the title tag to behave like the default install but with the edited colors.

I looked at the code and it's confusing. I haven't done any real coding since C 12 years ago.

The first part of your question I can answer I think. I only have the colors and the fonts show. You will only know that I'm an Admin because of the color, but it does not say "Administrator" or "Moderator" because I removed the condition in vB.

AdminCP >> Settings > Options > Forum Listings Display Option
At the bottom of the list you will see: "Show Moderators" set that to "No"

I'll take a look at the code. I'm not much of a coder either, but maybe I might find something to change, or speak to another coder, and maybe they can tell me what to change. In fact I know the exact person to ask. Maybe we can figure out how to fix this little problem, and just post a fix in the thread.

I still want to show mods, I just don't want a bunch of the <span> text to be displayed in front of the username, or for it to show the <span> code in the Title attribute when I hover over it. Basically, I want it to be like default with the pretty colors/formatting.

I'm going to look at it and see if I can get that fixed. That is the only problem I have with the mod.

Thanks for looking into this :)

I'm already a little confused. This HTML mouse over event is not logged in the XML file. I'm having a friend Sartech look at it. We may be able to add a disable event in the XML file, or we may have to make a slight modification in the vB code.

Not sure yet, I'm gonna wait until I receive a PM on this. In the meantime I'm going to try to track down where the event is taking place in vB.

Wow, we just removed title="{vb:raw thread.preview}" and it still showed the HTML markup. I have a thread open about it, maybe someone will give me a solution.

I've noticed before that I've wanted to edit a variable like thread.preview, but I can't find where it lives if it's not in the phrase manager. Any ideas?

One area is called "threadbit", and the other is called "search_threadbit" You will find them in the Styles & Templates area. However, I already removed them and it did not solve the problem.

I made code changes to several areas of threadbit and search_threadbit, and have not been successful with removing the mouse over effect. So you are left to disable the mod, if it annoys you and hope that there will be an update for it, or continue to use it despite the mouse over effect.

I worked with another on trying to change the effect the mod was having but we have not been successful. :(

Hi Syxguns, I am very interested in getting this working properly and admire your efforts.

However I have not installed this version of the mod, only the [FIXED] one and it didn't work (as expected).

I am most keen to see this work in the search_threadbit.

Am I correct in understanding that your current version of the mod works properly across most of the areas where the usernames are displayed (including search) but the mouseover shows the markup rather than the group name?

Maybe I can work with you to get to the bottom of it - I have pretty limited skills but have modified a few hacks in the past.

Regards
W

ps where can I get the latest version of the code you have got to. I have the fixed one and this one and when I diff the files I can see the only changes are to do with what sections it applies the markup to - is that right?
