Miscellaneous Hacks - Clan Tag In Post Bit

this edit just adds a clan tag next to your username or wherever you decide to put it

first you will need to make a profile field

Go to AdminCP --> User Profile Fields --> Add New User Profile Field

for profile field type select Single-Line Text Box

Title= Clan Tag
Profile Field Category= (Uncategorized)
Max length of allowed user input= 4
Field Required= Yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User= Yes
Private Field= No
Field Searchable on Members List= Yes
Show on Members List= Yes

should look like this:




Now Go To postbit_legacy And Find:

<vb:else />


{vb:raw post.musername}

right above it add: (Replace Red XX with the profile feild number)

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldXX']"> 
<font color="red" size="4"><B>{vb:rawphrase fieldXX}[{vb:raw post.fieldXX}]</B></font></vb:if>

after its done it will look like this

YAY! I figgered it out. I had to create a custom phrase in the phrase mananger.

Went AdminCP>Phrase Manager.
Phrase type: GLOBAL, then add new phrase.
Product: vBulletin
Varname: oppdiv//this was the name of the team
Text: [TEAM1]
Translations: [TEAM1]

Then used the following code when editing the postbit template:

EDIT: See my next post

Works great, automatically assigns team tags & colors based on the usergroup.

Ok, I fixed it. Had to use $post instead of $bbuserinfo. $post made it look at the poster's usergroup, not the viewers.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 779)">
  <font color=#FF0000 size="2"><B><I>{vb:rawphrase oppdiv}</I></B></font></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 780)">
  <font color=#FF0000 size="2"><B>{vb:rawphrase oppdiv}</B></font></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 778)">
  <font color=#FF0000 size="2">{vb:rawphrase oppdiv}</font></vb:if>

That's for 1/2 of our tournament. oppdiv is the phrase I created for their team. 779 is the top ranks in BOLD & ITALICS. 780 is the mid ranks in BOLD. And 778 is the lowest with nothing special about it.

Thanks for your hard work in showing me the way, I hope this post of mine helps others.

Ok, that all works for the postbit. But does anyone know where I'd do to add this to the user profile page, and the currently active users sections?

How could I get text next to it so it would say Clan Tag: {[DM]} or something different than the question for the box.

[Checkmate MK8]

How can I set this field to accept ALT characters? Currently, when a user enters an ALT character, it defaults to the numerical reference to the character.

In other words, what should be showing as ★ is showing as "&9733" in the profile field upon clicking "save".

Thanks,

You done it like this

<vb:if condition="$post['field5']"> 
<font color="red" size="4"><B>{vb:rawphrase field5}[{vb:raw post.field5}]</B></font></vb:if>

5 being profile field number

[Checkmate MK8]

Yes
