Color username in post
 

Wonderinf if there is a mod/option so that if someone were to post and include a username it will colorize it based on the usergroup html markup.

IE:

Would auto change based on my usergroup too

That is available by going to Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > select the usergroup to Edit > Username HTML Markup (Specify an opening and closing HTML tag with which to display the names of users in this group. This applies to names that appear on Logged-in Users, Who's Online, Users Browsing Forum, Users Browsing Thread, Posts, Member List etc.)

You misunderstood Lynne, I know how to accomplish this for the postbit etc..

I want this to work for a new thread or a new reply. As in if someone posts text that includes a username it will colorize the username in their post.

Something like that would likely require quite a few edits in the SHOWTHREAD templates.

Ahhh, sorry about misunderstanding. As Quillz said, that would require quite a bit of modification. You would be wanting to check every word in a post to see if it's a username. That would be quite server intensive I would think. I suppose if it's just for a new post and if you have a small userbase, it would be doable, but I know I couldn't do something like that on my site!

How about if the names where placed inside a bbcode. Think that would be more server friendly?

Yes, that sounds much more server friendly. Unfortunately, I'm not the one to write the bbcode for that. I know I've seen bbcode that is actual code, not just css, but I've never written it.
