Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why are all the groups / users are the same color?

A. For those of you not familiar with, or have issue with html markup, here is a quick guide.

Username HTML Markup. ACP --> Usergroups --> Usergroup Manager edit each usergroup, you will need to add the html to the two input fields found in the setting, Username HTML Markup.

NOTE: Your field boxes won't be as wide as the ones in the image, I over-sized them for illustration purposes.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/12/30.png

The first field is the opening tag. The second field is the closing tag. These tags will be inserted around the user's username like this:

Code:

[opening tag]username[closing tag]

Some HTML tags you might want to use here include:

Code:

<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span> 

<span style="text-decoration: line-through; font-weight:bold;">  </span>

<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span> 

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>

<span style="color: red;"> </span>

Example 1

First field

Code:

Second field

Code:

Example 2

First field

Code:

Second field

Code:

You can also do combinations by using more than one attribute in the style property.

Q. Wait, I have different colored styles, it is very difficult to choose a color to work on them all, what can I do?

A. Well then you should use this solution. It will take time to set up for each usergroup, but it's worth it.

First off add this code to your additional.css templates for all your styles.
In each style you can define a different color for each group.
You can add more groups or change the names as you wish.

Code:

.admin 

{

        color: #FF0000;

        font-weight: bold;

}



.moderator 

{

        color: #0000ff;

        font-weight: bold; 

}



.supermod 

{

        color: #32CD32;

        font-weight: bold; 

}



.registered 

{

        color: #802A2A;

        font-weight: bold; 

}



.banned

{

        color: #000000;

        text-decoration: line-through;

        font-weight: bold; 

}



.group1 

{

        color: #FF8000;

        font-weight: bold;  

}



.group2 

{

        color: #A020F0;

        font-weight: bold; 

}



.group3 

{

        color: #FFC0CB;

        font-weight: bold; 

}

Then for each usergroups html markup do like this.

Example 1

First field

Code:

Second field

Code:

Example 2

First field

Code:

Second field

Code:

Remember to change the class to the usergroup you are working with.

You can get a good list of colors here, Color Codes

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vBulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Spiders display has nothing to do with a usergroup color legend.

I know this has been done before, I was using the following mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...group+Color+Ba

But I really like this version the best because it has many user friendly adjustable options and you have provided EXCELLENT instructions for changing the user color/styles.

Well done and thank you for making this!

Nominated as well.

Thanks, glad ya like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

Installed it, set the usergroups that allows to see it and used multiple Location Of Legend options, yet regardless what option I use, I don't see it on any style I use. And yes, product is active as I've set it to yes as well.

That does not make any sense, if yo want me to look into it, pm me a admin account for your site and I will see what I can do.

Glad ya like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

Thanks, don't forget to mark as installed if you are using the mod.:)

One thing I've wanted to see on one of these mods is how a similar mod for IP.Board (2.3.6) had setup. You had a bit more of a graphical display of which groups were displayed and could also sort them. Here's how it looked:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/10/6.png

Also, perhaps add the option to link to the usergroup if you have leadership over it (via memberlist.php?usergroupid=<usergroup id>)?

Is that how the list would look on the forumhome?

It would be in that order, if that's what you mean. The image itself is from that mod I was talking about for IP.Board 2.3.6 (been about 6-7 years). I was thinking if you wanted to conform to how vB normally handles sortable items, list each group and then allow Admins to input the sort number it'd be (ie: 10, 20, 30, etc.) and then let 0 mean the group isn't listed, but that method can be a PITA if you have many usergroups to go through.

Yeah that would require quite a bit of coding, and probably some info added to the DB, IMO it is just to much for something that is not seen by the public, and is only for admin control.

I wouldn't think it would require as much work as you're giving it off as. I mean, you already have ways of displaying all of the usergroups and then throwing in some text fields to input the sort order has also been done (ie: forum sort). I just find the current method to be an even bigger PITA because I have to go back and forth between the usergroups and the mod settings to figure out where each group should go.

True, but how many times do you change the settings once they are set up?

For my community personally, we add and remove usergroups (staff and public) fairly often, so I wouldn't say it's necessarily uncommon.

Thank you ;)
How can i hide de default one, as you can see in the picture:

I don't believe that is from vB default, there has to be a mod that is adding that. What mods do you have installed?

I'm new it's a bit difficult to say , i need time to look :o

I am at work right now so I can't look, but maybe it is fr the fake visitors mod.

Ok, it was the: VSa - Visitors in Last X Hours but i need to show last visitor, any idea?
Thank you ;)

Ok, I'll check it out when I get home from work.

Is it possible to change the order, for example Admin first , moderator second , visitor third...
Thank you :)

Did you read the setting?

Usergroups To Show In The Legend

Select which usergroups to show in the legend.

Put the usergroups in the order you wish to see them appear in the legend.

Thank you it's ok now ;)

Not a problem, glad it's sorted. :)

Hi, i install this plugin but it doesn`t work. Can you help me?

Describe doesn't work.

The plugin its active, but he didn`t show me any legend color, not even the "supermoderator" , "administrator" usergroups.

Have you set up all the settings in, OzzModz: Usergroup Legend Settings

Yes, I do all the settings...

Ok PM me a link to your site, and a full admin account, and I can try and figure what is going on for you.

One more thing: I can`t select any usergroup separator because I have only "none"... why ?

New Version Available!

v1.1.0 Fixed a issue where on some installs the product would fail, due to non ASCII character format.

[S]Getting this error when trying to save settings:

Code:

Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_options.php on line 1032

When the error appears (which for me is about 90% of the time when trying to save new settings), the "Usergroups Allowed To See The Legend" options don't save.
[/S]

Edit: After reimporting (twice) I am no longer seeing this issue.
----------------
Also could use an option for padding underneath the legend to match the look of other WGO sections.

Glad it finally installed right for you.

I'll look into the padding when I get a chance.
