Username Decorations
Username Decorations!
As requested by myself and JohnWarwick. What does this hack do? It allows you to change your username's font color, background color, border, and make it italicized or underlined. It uses profile fields (discussed in the readme), so you can allow the users to do it themselves, or leave it to the admins. What is needed for this hack? 1 File Edit 8 New Templates How long does it take? About 10-15 minutes, 3-8 with the Template Importer by FireFly. Everything else is in the readme attached. ADDITIONAL TEMPLATE EDIT NOT IN README: Template edit - postbit template REPLACE: $post[username] WITH: $post[namecolor] If you're using a store hack that replaces the $post[username] with $storeextraglow, simply edit the postbit_namecolor templates, and replace $post[username] with $storeextraglow. |
Screenshot of a username with font color, background color, and matching border color, plus italicized.
|
It would be nice to see these features integrated into the Store Hack. :)
|
I second that
|
So do I, but I don't know too much about the Store Hack or PHP.
All you would have to do is find out how to make a user profile field editable when they buy it. |
hehe pretty much any new hack that comes out is nominated to be placed in the store hack :D
|
Seriously. I can't think of any hack out there that can't be put into the store some way.
|
i don't know, how to do that user can change username's font color .. by himself
can you tell me ?? :p |
It says it in the readme.
It uses profile fields, so just let that field be editable by the user. |
I can work in a way for it to work with Lesane's Store Hack.. His doesn't look to hard to customize.
|
Afterlab, you are a machine.
No, it isn't that hard to customize. It did take me a while to figure out how to do it without 120 templates though. |
sorry !!
i just to view "README" :p |
does this hack for with 2.2.4? thanks
|
Couldnt get it to work at all... Im gonna pass on this one.. Nice hack though.
After installing and setting up the options in USERCP would not change to the settings I had set. Still showed up as normal Username. Hmmm, no clue.. Thanks though Using 2.2.5 |
Be careful when predefining custom profile fields - other people might have more than 6 (like me for example), so the ending of the variables will be different (e.g. [fieldx])
|
2.2.2 coldent get it to work either. nothing showed up :(
|
I have noticed this Hack Slows down the Browser.

It doesn't work?
Make sure you change the field values correctly in the Functions.php AND all the templates. The defaults are listed in the readme. It should work fine if all of that's done. I haven't noticed that it slows down the browser at all, mine still works fine. |
In fact, if you really want, PM me with the field IDs you want to use. I can change everything for you and then see if it works.
|
I triple checked it, with each of the field ids two higher than in functions.php and in the templates (my IDs started at 8)
|
And you're still having a problem? Check to make sure your fields match the ones that were the defaults (i.e., the text color field is field8, et cetera). If you're still getting a problem, show me your functions.php section.
|
HERE'S THE PROBLEM PEOPLE
I knew I'd screw something up in my first hack. Template edit - postbit template REPLACE: $post[username] WITH: $post[namecolor] That should solve everything. |
:( Just spent hours removing this hack, now I've got to install it again
|
But thanks for the fix ;)
|
Nice hack. I like it.
|
I like the looks of it but... when applied the user name doesn't show up at all? I've used the default profile fields and edited the additional file you posted. Here's what my "functions.php" looks like. Maybe you can tell me what's wrong? I hope cause this is a really cool hack. Thanks
Code:
<?php |
That functions.php section looks right from what I remember (I'm not at my comp). When you say you edited the file, you mean the postbit template, right?
MAKE SURE ALL your profile fields match the correct FIELD NUMBERS from what I specified in the readme. Also, make sure ALL the templates are done correctly. If you're still having problems I'll try and figure it out. |
It's after I add this:
Template edit - postbit template REPLACE: $post[username] WITH: $post[namecolor] that it takes away the user name. Then I don't see any username at all. |
Make sure you have your templates in correctly then. If your profile fields match right, the functions .php should notice that the user doesn't have anything in the field, and it should do the normal name. Double-check the profile fields and the templates.
|
Well I give up. I've triple and quadruple checked and everything is exactly the way you say and I still can't get it to work. But it's a nice hack. :) Hope some others are able to get it to work. Thanks a bunch for your efforts.
|
You're welcome. I still have no idea why it isn't working though if you've checked everything. Maybe next time.
|
yep same here also, added the fix and the user name went bye bye :( soory it dont work on my board. its a nice hack
|
how do you find out what your profile fields are numbered???
|
ooh this is cool Thank you! :cool:
|
Has anyone gotten this to work yet?
|
Nice, I will try this hack! :D
|
Tried it; names disappear. Anything that could cause this?
