Staff Icon in Postbit

Fully tested on vb 3.0.4, should work on 3.0.5
Staff Icon in Postbit
--------------------------------------
by AnhTuanCool

What this hack does? Basically, this hack adds a small icon in postbit below the avatar for staff(selected usergroup) with alt as their usergroup title. See attachment for detail.

NOTE: If you want a different icon for your forum then just request it right here, otherwise you can use your own staff icon. When requesting please remember to leave your forum url and text you want to be on the icon. I'm not very free so just request and if I could then I will design it for ya as soon as I can. Thanks,

Update:
I've attached the source file and the font of the staff icon so you guys can make your own easier than from scratch. Have fun ;)

Click INSTALL if you find this hack userful, thanks ;)

I'm fairly sure that this can be achieved with just a template mod, but thanks for sharing your work.. :)

Indeed, I have Staff members with a title, using the built-in Usergroup Titles function...tho I suppose with this hack you could have two icons...

I have change one line, now the image is a link to the showgroups page.

HTML Code:

<div><a href="showgroups.php?"><img src="images/ranks/iconstaff.jpg" alt="$post[usergrouptitle]" border="0"><a></div>

Why not just use "User Ranks"? No need to hack or does this do something I'm not aware of?

You know what would be cool, if it'd change the post's background. Like, say the normal scheme is grey, staff posts would have blue as background. Or maybe a background image. But thanks for the hack, appreciated! :)

Thanks.

It cannot be the right font tho. I installed it, and Photoshop complains about the font used in the layer is missing. I've also tried to use the one you attached, and it doesn't seem to be the right one.

01-20-2005 08:50 PM

Did you put the font in the right place (\WINDOWS\Fonts\)? Or is it me zipped the wrong one? :D

Yes sir, I did. I even tried it out in Photoshop, and it did not look like the one you used. ;)

Actually you cannot. If you have a current ranks system in place or titles then you would have to modify those in order to designate staff. Also, the VB system of titles will not allow images.

Please could you make an image:

Game-realms Staff

thankyou.

You can use conditionals tho.

I found a small problem or just something to confuse n00bs

Add New Template
Title: postbit_iconstaff
Template:
==================================
<div><img src="images/ranks/iconstaff.jpg" alt="$post[usergrouptitle]" border="0"></div>
==================================

the template calls for "iconstaff.jpg" but the .psd file is named "stafficon.psd" so anyone making there own icon would prob name it "stafficon.jpg" and upload it. that would make the template display alt="$post[usergrouptitle]"

i hope this proves useful for someone

The PSD file is dedicated designed for Photoshop use, not a web graphic or something like that. You would have to use Photoshop to open then PSD file, modify as your need and then Export OR Save As it with JPG file type, then the outcome file will be iconstaff.jpg. ;) Although I don't think psd will be shown as a webgraphic :P. So what I'm saying is using the source code which is psd type to export your own one using photoshop or other graphic software can read psd. ;)

Would it be difficult to give the users an option whether to show this icon or not. I am planning to define a set of user groups as pro level members, even thogh the members aren't necessarily staff memebrs.

While some of these people would probably love to show off a tad, some others might not. So... A chkbox in usercp possible... or as anything is possible with vB :D... Dfficult?

Cheers,

Make a new custom profile field with Single-Selection Radio Buttons as field type.
It will display an option in Edit Option section in UserCP(take a look at the attachment) and $post[field5](5 as your field id) with contain the user's value...if you want it more detail, just ask ;)

All I did was added user ranks. As stated above with a simple template mod you can just add a single line text, use HTML, put the phrase in your template and viola!

Not hard to do - create separate icons, and separate templates for each group - here, we'll have admins, mods, and other staff:

In functions_showthread.php, add the following instead of just what's in the instructions:

PHP Code:


		
			
// Icon Staff Hack by AnhTuanCool
        // modified by bkaul for multiple icons
        // get icon staff represent img and titles
        $adminusergroupids = array('6');
        $modusergroupids = array('5','7');
        $staffusergroupids = array('30'); // your array of staff usergroupid
        if (in_array($post['usergroupid'], $adminusergroupids))
        {
           eval('$post[\'iconstaff\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_iconadmin'). '";');
        }
        else
        {
            if (in_array($post['usergroupid'], $modusergroupids))
            {
               eval('$post[\'iconstaff\'] .= "' .fetch_template('postbit_iconmod') . '";');
            }
            else
            {
               if (in_array($post['usergroupid'],$staffusergroupids))
                {
                   eval('$post[\'iconstaff\'] .= "'. fetch_template('postbit_iconstaff') . '";');
                }
            }
        }

Template postbit_iconadmin:

Code:

<div><img src="images/ranks/iconadmin.jpg" alt="$post[usergrouptitle]" border="0"></div>

Template postbit_iconmod:

Code:

<div><img src="images/ranks/iconmod.jpg" alt="$post[usergrouptitle]" border="0"></div>

Template postbit_iconstaff:

Code:

<div><img src="images/ranks/iconstaff.jpg" alt="$post[usergrouptitle]" border="0"></div>

Where the files iconadmin.jpg iconmod.jpg and iconstaff.jpg are thedesired icons for those groups, and are in the images/ranks directory.

Replace '30' with whatever number (or numbers) identify the usergroupsyou want as "staff" - obviously, this is a scalable change: create asmany or as few icon/template pairs as you'd like, and set up the ifstatement in the php file to match.

The icons I'm using in that modification, for reference:

http://boards.briankaul.com/boards/b.../iconstaff.jpg (Actually this one's currently not assigned to any real groups right now)
