Usergroup mark-up based off of userfield

[James Birkett]

Hi guys,

Basically, I have a VIP usergroup (who all have the same permissions) and I want to be able to allow them to change their username colour by specifying a hex value (from a drop-down list) in their profile.

The only way I can think of doing this is by grabbing the field, then sending it to the fetch_musername hook and setting a custom $user['musername'] style.

I don't think the fetch_musername hook allows me to use the $post['fieldX'] variable globally across the forum, so I'm going to have to grab the field value (probably from fetch_userinfo) and send it to that hook.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can accomplish this?


Thanks in advance.
