Custom User Status by Usergroup [Final] · **Released**: 07-15-2002

I could not find a way to add an additional user status field based on usergroup other than setting a override, which got rid of the normal usertitle based on post count and I didn't want that. This is my solution.

This hack adds an additional field to the usergroup table and allows you to display that custom group status field in addition to the normal usertitle that is defined either custom for the user or normally by number of posts without overriding the usertitle variable.

The end result gives you something like this (depending on how you edit your postbit template) for the output:

Jen
Tyro Hacker
[Custom Group Status Here]
[Users Avatar]
[Users other details]

The custom group status is set within the cp from the user group modify function for each group you want to add this additional status field to.

Questions, Problems, etc.. ask here as I am unable to provide support via email. This hack has been tested on vB 2.2.6.

I've read the explanation of what this hack does, and although both our hacks involve custom titles, I believe that how the custom titles are assigned, and the purposes behind the custom titles, are different enough that there is no reason for any concern. Thanks for thinking of me, Velocd, and thanks for the PM, Jen.

JJR512's hacks can actually be used in the same way as this - All you have to do is set it editable by user to no, and bingo!

I know its not Usergroup based, but still similar...

is it possible to let it show an image instead of text???

While I haven't tested this, you should be able to just add standard html IMG tags to the custom status field to show an image for every user of a particular usergroup.

and how would i do that?

Jen · #17 08-26-2002, 04:20 PM

PHP Code:


			
<IMG SRC="http://www.yourhost.com/yourimage.gif">

Using the standard HTML syntax for adding images. Just use an IMG tag inside the field and you'll be adding that image as the custom group title to each user within that usergroup.

hmmm, i tried that, but it only showed the code, not the image

Regarding custom user titles by user group...

Why not add a second field to the usertitle table for usergroupid? Then, in member.php, newreply.php, and newthread.php change the select statement for user title from "...WHERE minposts <= $bbuserinfo[posts]..." to ""...WHERE minposts <= $bbuserinfo[posts] AND usergroupid=$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]..."

There will also have to be some updates select statements in admin programs, leaving the bulk of the work in usertitle.php

Just an idea if someone is filling to run with it...

This isnt working for me .. I have stars installed could that be causing a problem?

Jen · #21 09-04-2002, 02:31 AM

Elly: I'll install Stars on this end and see if there's something that isn't working between the two. Right now I'm not sure if there are any conflicts.

Allstar: I found the problem and will post code tomorrow for you.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
