Users Browsing Formatting

This may well of been done before, but I did look and couldn't find anything.

This small (ok, teeny) hack changes the way that usernames are displayed in [Users Browsing this Forum:]
on the forum display page.
I'd always wondered why vB had made Moderators names in bold, and Admininstrators names bold italic on the front page
(Who's Online) but no-where else where it applied, so I altered the forumdisplay.php file so that Mods and Admin were
always bold (and italic) for "Users Browsing" too.

To see a demo of this hack working, please visit
http://www.hwulex.co.uk/vB/forumdisplay.php?forumid=2

NB: If you do install this hack, please click on the INSTALL button. You will receive updates in your email whenever I add new features to it.
Also post a reply with your comments, they are appreciated.

Tested on: vBulletin 2.2.5
File to modify: forumdisplay.php (also showthread.php if using with FireFly's hack)
Estimated Install Time: 2 minutes

How can I make it so usergroup 8 on my board is in bold and italics too?

[Chris M]

Just a Question...

When I try and do it for "Users Browsing This Thread", I get a parse error...

Why?

[lifesourcerec]

heh.. how do you find out the usergroupid? Haven't messed with it in a while.

[Chris M]

Well...

Hover over the Usergroup in "Modify" section of "User Groups"...

The number at the end of the link is the usegroupid...

Usually :

Guest = 0
Not Logged in = 1
Registered = 2
Super Mod = 5
Mod = 7
Admin = 6

To use it with usergroup 8 as well, then use the following Replace Code instead of the one from the instructions file

Around line 697
Find the code:

PHP Code:

    if ((!$forumuser['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $forumuser['userid']) {
        $userid = $forumuser['userid'];
        $username = $forumuser['username']; 


Replace With:

PHP Code:

// -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bold Mods & Admin on Forum Display -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    if ($forumuser['usergroupid'] == 6) {
        $username = "<b><i>$forumuser[username]</i></b>";
    } elseif ($forumuser['usergroupid'] == 8) {
        $username = "<b><i>$forumuser[username]</i></b>";
    } elseif ($forumuser['usergroupid'] == 7) {
        $username = "<b>$forumuser[username]</b>";
    } elseif ($forumuser['usergroupid'] == 5) {
        $username = "<b><u>$forumuser[username]</u></b>";
    } else {
        $username = $forumuser[username];
    }
// -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bold Mods & Admin on Forum Display -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 


I've set the formatting of Usergroup 8 to Bold and Italic as requested, but can be changed to whatever you want

Use this for both replacement sets.

Don't honestly know mate, have you got any other hacks installed? And did you copy+paste all code exact from the instructions.txt file?
If you're still having problems with it you could send it over to me [Email Me] and I'll take a look at it for you

Regards.

I'll see if I can get it working again, but I replaced it with the pre-your hacked version...

If it doesnt work this time, I'll email it to you...

What do you mean by using it for both replacement sets? How can I do that?

Also, when I made the change in forumdisplay.php, I got the following Parse Error;

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /home/sdsym/public_html/forum/forumdisplay.php on line 759
