Evolutions and improvements

Don't hesitate to share your ideas of improvements for this hack.

PS: Thanks Sofia for traduction :up:

sorry i dont get what this does. does it allow users to choose their own color?

No this hack display usernames with color everywhere on your forum. Now, usernames appear with color in your forums (forumdisplay), on your index (in last reply column), etc

so its like posting $post[musername] everywhere?

Take out the file edit.
Make a new plugin to "forumhome_complete" and add your own hook location in the 'code' box.

the file who generate forum and foruminfo on forumhome is function_forumlist.php and not index.php .
The hook "forumhome_complete" can't use consequetly

Thanks ... works fine :)

Installed

I installed it, but i though the usernames were already coloured ?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another idea would be a mod where you can set a colour for each user group

I had it on my old forum

Can set a color for each usergroup? a sort of legend on your index?

you can already do that through usergroups ? then just set up a member legend and your done.

oops - now i noticed that Subforums doesnt shows up in some of the sections . i removed that code from functions_forumlist.php and now everything is ok ...

any idea ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the release. I've been waiting for this.

Alright, now this is weird. Whenever the plugin is enabled, the sub-forums on the forum's homepage are gone completely but whenever I disable the hack, it works just fine. Any idea?

Can't you achieve this by changing the colors in the HTML markup?

The forum where there are problems have specific parameters compared to the others ?

yes you can...just set your usergroup Username HTML markup with an html color command (span style or font color) and you can accomplish this same feature on every section of your board...of course for those who aren't familiar with the html commands this could be a useful mod

it's don't work on vb 3.6.7 pl1

I think BBF's right. Well at least, it doesn't work fine to me.

I am going to provide an update soon

This makes it show up on FORUMLIST, there is no previous option for that.

Oh and also, this executes 60 queries on forumhome. You might want to do something about it...

I had down loaded this hack earlier and was just uploading it when I discovered it wasn't working for me. Then I noticed others are having the same issues so I assume it's being worked on? Anyhow will wait patiently since I've been looking for this hack...ty ty :-)

Please do so. I'm looking forward to it.

it does bring color to the forum home listing, but puts some weird coding when you go into the forums and see the list of topics if that makes sense.. UNINSTALLED for right now.

This worked perfect on my board running 3.6.7 pl1 no problems at all.
One thing i see that has been missed is if i do a "new posts since last visit" or "Unread Posts" search this mod does not show up. Not sure if it was intended or not but might be something to consider looking into for the next version

After looking at my board this does indeed make some of the subforums not appear on the main forums index. this does not affect all of them only some. had to disable this mod till the issue is found and a fix is given

Wow, i been looking for this mod forever. Thank you for releasing it. I will install when you provide a stable version for 3.6.7

I tried to upload this hack and nothing happened no color change I am pretty sure I installed it correctly. Any idea what I could have done wrong or forgot.
VB version 3.6.7PL

Can't see the sub-forums on my forumhome.
Any suggestions?

took ty requested this like a yr ago for my 3.5.x board tyvm

Any idea when an update will be available for this mod?

holy cowzers this added 120+ queries to my forumhome.... :((

SAY WHAT?!?!
Omg, and i didn't even checked to see that...
It disables LOTS of plug-ins too.

Glad I read all the complaints, why not remove this thread till u fix all these problems...
Sometimes we do not read all replies, here...

i Can't see the sub-forums but after i removed
from functions_forumlist.php
every thing worked fine but the username color doesn't show in the last reply after i removed the code ;( help plz
