Personal User Badges
1 Attachment(s)
This is something I came up with for a site I help manage. It gives users the option to set a custom badge that is displayed in the postbit_legacy. Sorry if I got the prefix wrong, I couldn't think which one this best belonged in.
Anyway, this is going to take advantage of template modification and profile field creation. So, for starters, we're going to make the profile field that will be used for the badges. Open up your ACP and click on 'Add New User Profile Field'. Select 'Single-Line Text Box'. Title 'Personal User Badge'. Description can be whatever. Put it in the appropriate Profile Field Category. Leave the default value blank. Make sure the field length is high, I use 100. That's for long image links. Set field length to 50. Don't mess with display order. Make sure field required is set to no. Field editable by user should be set to yes. Private field should be set to yes. This makes it so users can't see each others links. It makes the profile page look bad. Staff will still be able to see the links. Field searchable on members list and show on members list should both be set to no. That's it, now click save. You should be redirected to the profile field manager. When finished, it should look something like this when you click on edit: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/07/8.png Take note in the field manager of the 'name' column. This is important and will be needed later on. Find the 'name' for the newly created profile field. Next your going to want to open your master style so this template edit will inherit. If it will not inherit you will have to add this manually to each individual style. Find and open the template: postbit_legacy Find this code: Code:
<dl class="userinfo_extra">Code:
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldxx']"><p style="text-align:center; margin-top:3px;"><img src="{vb:raw post.fieldxx}" alt="Badge" width="180" height="26"></p></vb:if>Code:
<dl class="userinfo_extra">If this receives enough attention I'll update with the personal links option. This allows users to set a link for their badges so that when users click on the image they'll be redirected. EDIT: Here's a demo site. I've directed you to a post by me. As you can see there are two badges. I used this feature to make one for staff only. That's how it will appear though. EDIT2: Here's a screen capture of what it would look like for those of you who don't or can't view the demo site. |

Demo or images?

Demo's tend to go down in the future though (like the demo is down now), would be nice to show images in the main post uploaded on vbulletin.

Once again, I have updated the OP. This time with a screen of how the modification would appear. Note, there are two in this screen because I used it twice. If you only want one, that's what this modification will give you. Lest you have the ingenuity to figure out how to place two within the postbit.
The link is not solely a demo site. It is an actual live forum. The site is currently working, I see no issues. As Amaury said, check to make sure that it's not something wrong on your end. I uploaded the image anyway for ease of access. If you have any more issues viewing what this modification would look like, you'll have to try it out and see because I don't have any more options. I'm afraid anything short of a youtube video will not do any better. Any further questions, please do not be afraid to PM me instead of flooding the thread with questions about what it looks like. If you do run into a problem using the modification, however, feel free to post in the thread. Thank you. |
I know this may not be about this mod but can you tell me what size your avatars are for the unicorn? also can you tell me what mod you used for the online on that posts its pink and all that information, and what award system do you use?

And Amaury was right on all accounts. The avatar was 200x200 in size. Simple template edits for the Online status. We use YAAS for our awards. |
Ok I must be a little thick :

I can't see a "name" column ? The other thing I can't understand is why you would want to duplicate a "badge" that is already there, I noticed in the thread I landed on in your forum that hardly any of your members are actually using this feature. Surely if someone wants a "custom badge" they can use their avatar to display it, isn't that what it is ? |
The name column is in the User Profile Field Manager, third one from the left

As for your second one, avatars are used to display most commonly images that are perfectly square or sometimes rectangular. The point of this modification is for users to be able to add a custom badge, which is smaller than an avatar by far, and even a custom link. Could you make a profile field to just display a link, yes, but it's not as fun. Hardly any of the users use it because they aren't as active as I'd like. Most just pop in for sip of tea and then leave. And I'd also like to say that, no an avatar is not a badge. An avatar is an avatar. A badge is a badge. This is simply a fun modification for whomever would like to use it. If you think it's pointless or redundant then simply don't use it. I'm not forcing anyone's hand here. I discovered a neat little feature and decided to share it out of the kindness of my heart. |
My daughter might have fun with this. Thanks for sharing.

This looks awesome! Thank you for sharing. I'm not quite ready for my forum to have a full blown achievements system yet, so this sounds like it will work. I'll install and let you know how it works out.
|
Can you tell me if and how to add an option where I can set it so only certain usergroups can use this?

Before finding this mod we created custom user-groups when member paid with vbcredits for requesting a custom user-title/badge....currently we have 110+ user-groups on one forum, using vb3.8.7, that only contain 1 member in order to show these custom ranks/badges/usertitles under avatar in posts....and it's becoming very convoluted. We now use this mod(personal user badge) but set the "field editable by user" to "no" and set the "Display Page" to "Options: other" and then insert the url link into the field via the ACP when viewing the member's profile via "search for users". Have set up 4 custom user-titles profile fields this way. And now mods can accomplish this without admin intervention of creating specific usergroup. But its beyond me on how to display it on "MEMBERINFO" template where the ranks/usertitle's show up across from member name currently. |

I'll update this post later when I have the time to work out the code. I might also try and update with how to make the option usergroup specific. I'm currently at university right now and have finals today. I apologize for the inconvenient wait. A vb condition should take care of this. Try this: Code:
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, x,x,x)">Wrap these around the userbadge code.</vb:if> |

I adapted this for a 3.8.7 forum I help admin & finally figured out how to show it on the MEMBERINFO template by using:
Code:
<if condition="$userinfo[field19]"><img src="$userinfo[field19]"<p style="float:right; margin-top:0px;"></if> |
