\*================================================ ======================*/

What does this modification do?
This modification allows users to specify their 'own' HTMLwhich surrounds their username. It is similar to that which is used for the Usergroup HTML Markup, however this modification is more restrictive. (Note: Markup is only applied in cases where the Usergroup Markup is typically applied).

Features:

• Users can choose:
  • Italics
  • Bold
  • SmallCaps
  • Text Decoration
    • Underline
    • Overline
    • StrikeThrough
  • Font Color
  • Background Color
  • Font Family/Face
• Admins can choose to:
  • Global Enable/Disable
  • Ban Certain Users
  • Ban Certain Font Colors
  • Enable/Disable each Option globally
  • Enable/Disable each Option Per Usergroup
  • Choose whether User HTML Markup overrides Usergroup HTML Markup

To install:

1. Upload Files
   • Upload functions_op_user_html_markup.php to the '/includes/' directory of your forum
   • Upload bitfield_op_user_html_markup.xml to the '/includes/xml/' directory of your forum
2. Import Product
   • Import the product as normal through the AdminCP. AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products
3. Accessing Product
   • To use this product the user can find the options listed on the UserCP > Edit Options page.

Troubleshooting & Common Problems

• If you forget to upload the files before importing the product, simply upload the files and then visit the AdminCP > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager page. (This is required to rebuild the bitfield cache after uploading a file). This only needs to be done if you do not upload the files before the import.

Yes, please fix this.

If the user was saving the form without any changes he did, the user have no chance to return to the default vbulletin option for his username. If saved without any setting the look for this username was nevertheless changed. Please fix this.

Although the hack has been disabled, all options the user has done are viewable by other users. Please fix this.

We are also missing a global (backend) and per user (frontend) reset option.

Now THAT would be great.

But nice hack, I might use it in the near future, so I'll mark it as installed in case I forget later.

Does this work for all browsers?

[Thelonius Beck]

Cool hack. I've been looking for this for a while.

The strikethrough also doesn't work for me, and a 'Reset Default' option would be a wonderful addition.

[Opserty]

Yes I have been busy lately, as such the next update may be a bit of a wait.

I'll post a quick-fix for the strikethrough bug when I get a chance.

Just wondering. Any plans to make this work on the online list when people other than yourself view your name?

You mean when you're viewing online.php? Where it shows what everyone is doing?

Yeah that's a great idea! Get that in the next version also Op!

[Lady Azriel]

Well not just online.php, but on the forum index too, where the online list is included. It shows for you on these things, but only when you're logged in. Anybody else can only see the markup on your profile or your posts. Also, perhaps also using the markup on the last poster areas too.

[DarkGizmo]

I believe he fixed that in the update Lady. I see my staff member's mark-ups on the forum index just fine....

Where it doesn't show their markup is and i'd like to see fixed are:
- Online.php (viewing online.php)
- Forumdisplay.php (Who's viewing forum/thread
-Thread starter & last poster in forum display
- Last poster on forum index.

Everywhere else is fine.

also the border option of course.
