colored usernames in postbit

[snyx]

okay I used to use one of the 5 colored username hacks out there, but now on 2.2.6 I get some werid unexpected T error. anyone know how I can make my users names a color just based on their usergroup, I KNOW this isnt hard here ppl!

this is what I was using, but im getting errors with it, anyone see the problem? this is in functions, just under the buildpostbit.

does anyone know how so code it so it shows my 6,5,7 user groups their color, and ANY other usergroup no matter the number is one way? cuz its annoying to have to add a new blue usergroup everytime I make a new usergroup. here is the code...

PHP Code:

    $post[coloredname] = $post[username];
    $userid=$post[userid];
    if ($userid == 6) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="#cc0000"><b><i>$post[username]</b></i></font>"; }
    if ($userid == 5) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="green"><b>$post[username]</b></font>"; }
    if ($userid == 7) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="green"><b>$post[username]</b></font>"; }
    if ($userid == 10) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; }
    if ($userid == 1) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; }
    if ($userid == 3) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; }
    if ($userid == 4) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; }
    if ($userid == 2) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; } 


here is the error im getting:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/form-kao/public_html/board/admin/functions.php on line 72

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getuserinfo() in /home/form-kao/public_html/board/admin/sessions.php on line 324

not related to vb version..Code syntax is wrong. You need to escape some "s inside your code. You should use this one:

PHP Code:

$post[coloredname] = $post[username];
    $userid=$post[userid];
    if ($userid == 6) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="#cc0000"><b><i>$post[username]</b></i></font>"; }
    if ($userid == 5) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="green"><b>$post[username]</b></font>"; }
    if ($userid == 7) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="green"><b>$post[username]</b></font>"; }
    if ($userid == 10) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; }
    if ($userid == 1) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; }
    if ($userid == 3) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; }
    if ($userid == 4) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; }
    if ($userid == 2) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue">$post[username]</font>"; } 


And as for optimising your code use this:

PHP Code:

$post[coloredname] = $post[username];
    $userid=$post[userid];
    if ($userid == 6 OR $userid == 5 OR $userid == 7) { $post[coloredname] = "<font color="green"><b><i>$post[username]</b></i></font>"; }
else 
{ $post[coloredname] = "<font color="blue"><b><i>$post[username]</b></i></font>"; } 


Enjoy..
