How do I change a username color?

[Senzuri]

How can I do that without making a custom usergroup for the user?

Do you mean in a post or everywhere? For just one user or for all users?

Thanks for replying.

I'm looking for a possible hack that has already been made, or a way to change the color for a specific user. (not for a whole usergroup)

Hmm I'm not sure if there is a mod about. If no-one else posts then you can try this.

1. Create a new Plugin (AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Add New Plugin)
2. Set Hook Location to 'fetch_musername'
3. Use the following Plugin code:

PHP Code:

if($user['userid'] == 1)
{
    $user['musername'] = '<b>'. $user['username'] .'</b>';
} 


4. Change '1' to the userid of the person who's name you want to style.
5. Change the HTML in the single quotes to the markup you want.
6. Set "Plugin is Active" to Yes and hit Save.

Thank you... Worked like a charm!

How would I change this code so I could specify a usergroup instead of a particular user?

If you want to change the name color of a usergroup, go into usergroups, edit usergroups, and use the username HTML mark up. Click the question mark beside the box for details.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work for me, as the users I want to change are specified in secondary groups and not primaries. I posted about it here -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=196510
