The only problem with mine is that I never finished it for forumdisplay & WOL (I should really get that done)


Good job nonetheless:)

Storm rarely ever releases hacks, when he told me he was releasing this one, I was pretty surprised...everyone cherish the moment because it probably won't happen again lol

I've installed your hack and now usergroup.php(3) isn't working in my admin folder.

I'm running vB 2.3.2 with .php3 extensions(I wanted to try somethign new :p).

All I get is a blank page.

Yeah I saw that but yours doesn't work for any usergroups, just 5,6,7, I figured I'd release this one so users can easily add tags for any group from the edit page. Yours is a nice hack nonetheless though.
About the images, they won't work because when its parsed it will be converted into something like <font color=red>Username</font>.. also for images to work, you'd have to have a seperate image for each user you have, then specify the userid of who can use it, I know its possible because I use it on my forum ^^ only a little modifcation to the function is required.

To get the hack to work with postbits, I'd have to figure out the best way to go about that since it can interfere with the Lesane store hack (italic and glowing usernames)...

If anyone wants it to get it to work with the memberlist, just let me know :)

Thats very wierd.. probably check your edits again, if you can't get it to work you can PM your file to me and I'll take a look.
Oh, lol, I guess I'll have to take a look at that then ^^
You're quite welcome :) Actually I was putting together the install file and after I posted it, I saw your post requesting it, but yeah, the hack itself didn't take me very long to make :)

It works in 2.3.2 just fine
corsacrazy: Yes it'll work... just put
[openingtag]<img src="imagename.gif">[/openingtag]

If you want to do what I do (make the username an image all together so I can make a hell of a cool username) then do:
[openingtag]<img src="[/openingtag]
[closingtag].ext">[/closingtag]
and name the images usename.ext

Hi There,

I couldn't get what this ment:
TIP:

If you know a little about PHP, you can apply formatting to usernames in other areas of your board by simply querying for the userid, username, and usergroupid:

$somearray=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid, usergroupid, username FROM user WHERE userid=1");

etc... then doing this:

$username=formatusername($somearray);

its quite simple if you know what you are doing and know a little about PHP, just make sure that the $somearray contains the userid, usergroupid, and username.

where to use this:

$somearray=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid, usergroupid, username FROM user WHERE userid=1");

and this:

$username=formatusername($somearray);

and vb db, or where

Thanks a lot
