Glowing usernames based on postcount?

[Baratator]

// begin glowing admin attempt
$post[specialusername] = $post[username];


if ($userinfo[usergroupid] == 5) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=orange, strength=4)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; };

// end attempt


so this is what i added

but always the same thing :

PHP Code:

// begin glowing admin attempt
    $post[specialusername] = $post[username];


      if ($userinfo[usergroupid] == 5) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=orange, strength=4)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; };

// end attempt 


does nothing and

PHP Code:

// begin glowing admin attempt
    $post[specialusername] = $post[username];


      { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=orange, strength=4)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; };

// end attempt 


Makes all user titles glow in orange...

This is the code I got working about a month ago

In admin/functions.php
FIND:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start getpostbit #######################
function getpostbit($post) {
// sorts through all the stuff to return the postbit template

    // user
    global $bbuserinfo,$ignore;
    // showthread
    global $counter,$firstnew,$sigcache,$highlight,$postid,$forum;
    // global options
    global $showdeficon,$showonline,$displayemails,$enablepms,$allowsignatures,$wordwrap,$dateformat,$timeformat,$logip,$replacewords,$postsperday,$avatarenabled,$registereddateformat,$viewattachedimages;
    // database
    global $DB_site; 


UNDER IT ADD

PHP Code:

// begin glowing admin 
    $post[specialusername] = $post[username];

    $usergroupid=$post[usergroupid];
    if ($usergroupid == 6) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=blue, strength=6)\"><tr><td><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>"; }

    if ($usergroupid == 5) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=blue, strength=4)\"><tr><td><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>"; }
// end glowing admins 


This works for supermods and admins... Supermod usergroupid is 5, admin is 6.

okay so if i find the id of the other groups i cant make it all glows differently

To figure out usergroupids

In the Admin CP, click Modify under User Groups and Permissions.

Next to each usergroup, RIGHT click on the word EDIT and choose "Copy Shortcut" or whatever your system says to copy the link URL.

Then paste it into notepad... it'll look something like this

http://your.site.com/board/admin/use...&usergroupid=5

Notice the last number... 5. That's the usergroupid number.
In this case, this is for Super Mods.

With help from Palmer of Shinra, we have adapted this to work on 2.2.1...

Find this:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start buildpostbit #######################
function getpostbit($post) {
// sorts through all the stuff to return the postbit template

    // user
    global $bbuserinfo,$session,$ignore,$cookietimeout;
    // showthread
    global $counter,$firstnew,$sigcache,$highlight,$postid,$forum;
    // global options
    global $showdeficon,$displayemails,$enablepms,$allowsignatures,$wordwrap,$dateformat,$timeformat,$logip,$replacewords,$postsperday,$avatarenabled,$registereddateformat,$viewattachedimages; 


And add this below it:

PHP Code:

// begin glowing admin 
    $post[specialusername] = $post[username];

    $usergroupid=$post[usergroupid];
    if ($usergroupid == 6) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=red, strength=6)\"><tr><td><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>"; }

    if ($usergroupid == 5) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=orange, strength=8)\"><tr><td><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>"; }

    if ($usergroupid == 7) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=blue, strength=8)\"><tr><td><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>"; }
// end glowing admins 


Then go edit your postbit template and change this:

[username]

to this:

[specialusername]

________________________________________________


This makes your usernames glow as follows:

Mods glow in blue
Super Mods in orange
Admins in red.


(I'm going to post this in Finshed hacks with credits due to Palmer of Shinra and everyone else who has put input into this hack)

Is there anyway to have it so members can choose their own colors in their profile?
