Usergroup Legend for ForumHome page

This little plugin shows a legend of what the various styles mean for the names on the who's online section of your forumhome page.

A big thank you to Link14716 for getting rid of the query.

Some people prefer different colors in the template changes. Their suggestions are posted below. I've posted what I am using on my board.

Good job amy

Simple? With yours, you have to insert the style information for each and every Usergroup you want to display.

This one appears to be a lot more automated.

Nice one amy. :)

Looks good

/me hits install

kall	07-14-2005 08:06 AM

Umm...

HTML Code:

<td class="alt1" colspan="2" class="smallfont">

You can't do that...can you? (Declare class attribute twice).

don't think so myself
move smallfont to a span tag after the td

kall	07-14-2005 10:25 AM

Indeed. And changing the upper td attribute to thead makes it fit in nicely (IMO).

I have it running on my forumhome if anyone wants to take a peek.

lol I just meant simple as in html wise, I am not smart enough yet to be fancy :P.

Template stuff is always just a "starter" to get you going. ;) Tweak to your heart's desire.

Nice idea amy :)

Edit: I was just thinking - Is there any way you can create a "spacer" element for the usergroup titles? :)

What I mean is that "Administrator Super Moderator Moderator" etc looks a bit odd - I know how to add commas or dashes or other ascii characters to space the names out, but the problem is the last one listed will always have that character on the end of the name :ermm:

I added a "legendorder" field and ordered the groups by it, and tried calling $usergroups['legendorder'] and making it so that if the number was greater than or equal to 9, there was no "spacer" but it didn't work :ermm:

OK. I just released 2.0. It has the span tag for the smallfont and it has the separator to separate the usergroups.

I'll grab a new screenshot and post it in a second.

Thanks for this... Will be installing this in my test installation today. Definately makes it much easier than editing templates directly.

I did a few changes. First, in the template, I used

HTML Code:

<td class="thead" colspan="2">

instead of

HTML Code:

<td class="tcat" colspan="2">

It looks a lot better that way. Also, I changed to plugin code to save the query. (Feel free to use this, Amy.)

PHP Code:


		
			
// Get all usergroups that have style changes.



foreach ($vbulletin->usergroupcache AS $group)

{

    if (!$group['opentag'] AND !$group['closetag']) {

        continue;

    }



    if (!isset($legend))

    {

        $legend = $group['opentag'] . $group['title'] . $group['closetag'];

    }

    else

    {

        $legend .= " | " . $group['opentag'] . $group['title'] . $group['closetag'];

    }

}

I would attach the plugin file, but xml attachments aren't allowed anymore.

Good job, Amy. :)

Is there any way of making that display it based on a usergroup field? :p

Because I want it to display it by "legendorder" the field I created :p

I'm stuck using the query because I can't figure out how I can make it order it how I want :p

Thinking out loud. I would add each group and tag and legend order field to an array. I would sort the array based on the legendorder and then I would explode the whole thing out to the legend string.

Has the download been updated with these changes or are those still coming?

Yes. The download is updated to use the cache Wayne.

You have

Awsome job Amy :D I'll certaintly use this!

Just a small optimization:

Replace

PHP Code:


		
			
    if (!isset($legend))

    {

        $legend = $group['opentag'] . $group['title'] . $group['closetag'];

    }

    else

    {

        $legend .= " | " . $group['opentag'] . $group['title'] . $group['closetag'];

    }

With

PHP Code:


		
			
    $legend .= " | " . $group['opentag'] . $group['title'] . $group['closetag'];

This is safe to do because vBulletin unsets all the globals in init.php...

Other than that - nice job :)

Dark, doesn't your version end up with a | before the first group? I did it the way I did to put the | between the group names.

Installing on rc1, hope it works, excellent hack

akanevsky

08-01-2005 08:39 PM

Yes, it does sorry. But here is a fix:

PHP Code:


		
			
$legend .= (!empty($legend) ? " | " : "") . $group['opentag'] . $group['title'] . $group['closetag'];

;)

amykhar

08-01-2005 11:44 PM

OK. I 'm going to stick with mine then, simply for clarity for newer coders. People who understand optimization will probably grab your code. But, people who want to tinker with my base hack will do better working with more readable code.

If it's all they are required to do, then how come you have installed vBulletin 3.0? Why didn't you stay on vB2? Why are you writing hacks at all? vBulletin "works and it's all it is required to do."... Now, why did you install vBulletin at all? Your computer works without it. It does not to need no vBulletin sh*t loaded in a browser full of viruses. I am sure you do not have an antivirus because your computer works without it and "it's all it's required to do". On the second thought, you don't even need a computer. Your brain can live and work without it and "it's all it is required to do".
