colored staff names in whos online
 

Hi can someone make a modification that will give the staff members colored names in who's online and in who was online today?

Admin: red
Super moderator: royalblue
Moderator: green

Thanks :)

This is already possible using the HTML Markup field(s) in the User Group settings. Unless you only wanted it for the Who's Online box...

Yes I only want it in who's online box.....

I would also like to see a hack like this, perhpas with selectable colors for different user groups?

This was made for vb2x....Can we use it for vb3 or no??

Its default in vB3.. If you go to the usergroup settings and for the usergroup you want to change put in the html markup fields <font color=thecolouryouwant> </font>

Where exactly are you supposed to add this? I added it to the name of the group, the color changed in the CP, but not in the Who's Online Section. :ermm:

Usergroups-->Usergroup Manager

Then hit edit on the usergroup you want, i.e., admin. After that you'll see a field that says "html markup" Add the open and close codes in the appropriate fields.

I'm not sure, it's working just fine in the Who's online and who's been online sections for me. Maybe try deleting your cookies and refreshing?

MadCatz, this can be done using vB3 conditionals in the WIW template.

ive seen teh boxes for the code there but what code to we put in if we wanted red etc as i aint got a clue either.

Span is a better tag to use here

Prefix: <span style="color:yellow;">
Suffix: </span>

change the color to what you like :)

cheers m8 gonna try that now as before i just used the color command and obviously it never worked :)

Edit

works perfect

Side note - u notice when u do a post etc none of the smilies on vb.org look happy for some reason (well none of the first 12 do anyway)

]Mind explaining to me how to do it? I don't know how to write PHP but I can understand what you're talking about and how to do it. I just know HTML.

By the way, I'm looking to do it only for Whose Online and Who Was Online Today, I don't want it to show up in my posts.
