Usergroup Legend for ForumHome page

This little plugin shows a legend of what the various styles mean for the names on the who's online section of your forumhome page.

A big thank you to Link14716 for getting rid of the query.

Some people prefer different colors in the template changes. Their suggestions are posted below. I've posted what I am using on my board.

Installed on vb 3.5.3, but does not display anything, I can see just text legend ?

The plugin contains code that looks like this (partial):

PHP Code:

{
    if (!$group['opentag']) {
        continue;
    } 


but I changed it to

PHP Code:

{
    if (!$group['opentag'] && !$group['closetag']) {
        continue;
    } 


Because I use only the "closetag" area. I don't set a color to span the user name, I use the closetag to apply a small icon to the user.

I noticed some people here are quoting their installs, and they show code similar to what I have. Did the code orginally look at both open and closetags, and now only looks at opentag?

I also added a check for any "isbannedgroup" groups, as they'll never show as logged in anyhow.

Before

PHP Code:

    if (!$group['opentag'] && !$group['closetag']) {
        continue;
    } 


After:

PHP Code:

    if (!$group['opentag'] && !$group['closetag']) {
        continue;
    }
    if ($group['genericoptions']>=32) {
        continue;
    } 


I have a padlock icon on my banned users (grin), but I don't want the "Banned" item to show up on the legend.

Great mod Amy

Hey what colors are you all using?

For the ones that were like me and didnt know how to install this. Goto Plugin System => Download/Upload Plugins and upload it.

Youll need to edit the user groups and add the color html tags in the HTML fields...

maybe this question has been answered, but I'm unclear. I want to upgrade to vB 3.5.3 will the legend hack automatically upgrade with it?

Mine did this too until I went into the usergroups and actually added in the code for color if not sure how to do that click the lil help icon by Username HTML Markup once the code is added in this works perfect..

Thanks for the plugin nice work clicks install

There's no point in having a legend if you don't have custom colors or styles for the usergroups. So, it only shows the groups that have custom colors or styles.

Although, if you've done the code edit version, you could easily change it to show all of the groups with a display order higher than 0. But, I'll leave that little modification to you as a coding exercise

Amy,

I would like to make a request for this mod if I may.

I noticed that the legend is pulling its user group name information from the user group "Title" area located in the admin cp.

May we have this changed so that it pulls its user group name information from the "User Title" area located in the admin cp instead?

Or how about adding to the admin control panel where we can select which area it pulls the information from?

Thanks

Doug

Ok I asked this a few days ago and I don't know if it was just overlooked or ignore so excuse my ignorance as not all of us are experienced in html or modding VBulletin but Is there a way it can be bold on the forum display membership listings but not bold within the threads themselves?
