Trying to color everything, LOL · **Released**: 08-20-2002

Okay, well im trying to colorize the thread starter in forumdisplay based on the usergroup that member is in. The original code in forumdisplay.php is this:

PHP Code:


			
#    if ($thread['postuserid']) {

#      $thread['postedby'] = "<a href=\"member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]\">$thread[postusername]</a>";

#    } else {

#      $thread['postedby'] = $thread[postusername];

#    }

I commented that out, and using the utmost BASIC of my php knoleadge replaced it with this code:

PHP Code:


			
if ($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '6') {

    $thread['postedby'] .= "<a href='member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]'><font color='#cc0000'><b><i>$thread[postusername]</i></b></font></a>";

}

else if ($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '7') {

    $thread['postedby'] .= "<a href='member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]'><font color='green'><b>$thread[postusername]</b></font></a>";

}

else if ($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '5') {

    $thread['postedby'] .= "<a href='member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]'><font color='green'><b>$thread[postusername]</b></font></a>";

}

else {

    $thread['postedby'] .= "<a href='member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]'><font color='blue'>$thread[postusername]</font></a>";

}

but this only makes all the usernames blue, no matter what group they are in.. what am I doing wrong, a little kick in the right direction would be steller, thanks

TRY THIS.......i dont know ++++ so back it up....

PHP Code:


			
      if ($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 6 and $highlightadmin) {

          $username = "<b><i><font color=red>$loggedin[username]</font></i></b>"; // Color for Admin

      } else if (($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 7) and $highlightadmin) {

          $username = "<b><font color=darkred>$loggedin[username]</font></b>"; // Color for Supermod

      } else if (($mod["$userid"]) and $highlightadmin) {

          $username = "<b><font color=green>$loggedin[username]</font></b>"; // Color for Mod

      } else {

        $username = "<font color=blue>$loggedin[username]</font>"; // Color for normal Member or "Highlight Admin" is turned of

      }

and change the values...usergroup ids, colors and ++++

grrrrrr no that didnt work.. huh
is there anyway I could establish the usercolor some other way.. and call it into the code.. like..

PHP Code:


			
#    if ($thread['postuserid']) {

#      $thread['postedby'] = "<a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]">$thread[SPECIALpostusername]</a>";

#    } else {

#      $thread['postedby'] = $thread[SPECIALpostusername];

#    }

why dont you install the colored ONLINE USERS Hack?

is that what your trying to do? or in the postbit too?

snyx · #5 08-20-2002, 06:02 PM

in forumdisplay.. so were talkin somthing completely different!
I tried all the whos online hacks, and users browsing format

Xenon · #6 08-20-2002, 07:56 PM

it can't show another color than blue, becaue your variable $userinfo isn't defined in forumdisplay, so the script allways runs the else condition.

you have to add a query to get $userinfo, or it would be impossible:

PHP Code:


			
    if ($thread['postuserid']) {

$userinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username,usergroupid FROM user WHERE userid=".$thread['postuserid']);      

if($userinfo['usergroupid']==6) $color="red";

elseif ($userinfo['usergroupid']==5) $color="green";

else $color="blue";



$thread['postedby'] = "<font color=".$color."><a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]">$userinfo[username]</a></font>";

    



} else {

      $thread['postedby'] = $thread[postusername];

    }

i know the code is optimizable, because it added a lot of queries, but it should work..

snyx · #7 08-20-2002, 10:14 PM

EEP! 57 queries..
but yeah thx for the shot, but im still not getting any colorednames.. huh they just look normal as if the color wasnt working at all.

uhhhhh, damn.

snyx · #8 08-20-2002, 10:30 PM

Xenon I was wrong, your code was right, you html just off, to colorize links you need to include the font next to the actaully text inside the hyperlink... I tweaked the code to get what I like, thx man, and thx for ur guys help

PHP Code:


			
if ($thread['postuserid']) {

$userinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username,usergroupid FROM user WHERE userid=".$thread['postuserid']);

if($userinfo['usergroupid']==6) $special="<font color=#cc0000><b><i>";

elseif ($userinfo['usergroupid']==5) $special="<font color=green><b>";

elseif ($userinfo['usergroupid']==7) $special="<font color=green><b>";

else $special="<font color=blue>";



$thread['postedby'] = "<a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]">$special $userinfo[username]</a></font>";

you can decreasing the ammount of queries by adding some sort of hashing:

instead of

PHP Code:


			
$userinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username,usergroupid FROM user WHERE userid=".$thread['postuserid']);

if($userinfo['usergroupid']==6) $special="<font color=#cc0000><b><i>";

elseif ($userinfo['usergroupid']==5) $special="<font color=green><b>";

elseif ($userinfo['usergroupid']==7) $special="<font color=green><b>";

try to use this:

PHP Code:


			
if(!isset($userinfo[$thread[postuserid]])) $userinfo[$thread[postuserid]]=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username,usergroupid FROM user WHERE userid=".$thread['postuserid']);

if($userinfo[$thread[postuserid]]['usergroupid']==6) $special="<font color=#cc0000><b><i>";

elseif ($userinfo[$thread[postuserid]]['usergroupid']==5) $special="<font color=green><b>";

elseif ($userinfo[$thread[postuserid]]['usergroupid']==7) $special="<font color=green><b>";

should work, but not tested

Xenon · #10 08-21-2002, 04:25 PM

ignore that, why not just using a JOIN query

just find:

PHP Code:


			
$threads=$DB_site->query("

SELECT $dotuserid $votequery ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."

    thread.threadid,thread.title,lastpost, forumid,pollid,open,replycount,postusername,postuserid,

    lastposter,thread.dateline,views,thread.iconid,notes,thread.visible,sticky,votetotal,attach

    FROM thread

    ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'LEFT JOIN icon ON (icon.iconid = thread.iconid)','')."

    $dotjoin

    WHERE $threadids

    ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder

    ");

and replace it with:

PHP Code:


			
$threads=$DB_site->query("

SELECT $dotuserid $votequery ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."

    thread.threadid,thread.title,thread.lastpost, forumid,pollid,open,replycount,postusername,postuserid,

    lastposter,user.usergroupid,thread.dateline,views,thread.iconid,notes,thread.visible,sticky,votetotal,attach

    FROM thread

    ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'LEFT JOIN icon ON (icon.iconid = thread.iconid)','')."

    $dotjoin

    LEFT JOIN user ON (thread.postuserid = user.userid)

    WHERE $threadids

    ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder

    ");

then you could use $thread[usergroupid] in your if construction and save a lot of extra queries
