vb.org Archive - Show Thread Enhancements - Reduce font size on Long Username to fit Postbit (legacy)

I found that when I switched to the "legacy" postbit, some of the usernames wrapped (if they were particularly long:

So I made a mod for this which contains 2 steps: a new plugin and template edit. Less than 5 minutes!

1. Create a plugin for hook location memberaction_dropdown. This puts the length of the username into a variable the template can use.

Code:

$memberinfo['unlength']= $memberinfo['musername']? strlen($memberinfo['musername']): strlen($memberinfo['username']);

2. Modify template memberaction_dropdown
Font size will be determined by you--what will fit in your postbit.

Find:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if>

and replace with:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">

    <vb:if condition="$memberinfo['unlength']>25"><span style="font-size:13pt;">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}</span>

      <vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}</vb:if>

<vb:else />

    <vb:if condition="$memberinfo['unlength']>15"><span style="font-size:13pt;">{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</span>

      <vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if>

</vb:if>

Result:

Note: If the username has an html wrap ($memberinfo['musername']) I account for the html by adding 10 characters to the threshold. You'll have to play with this variable depending on your HTML wraps. HTML wraps are found in Usergroup Settings.
