End-User Options - Username Font Selection Per User (Light) By BOP5 VB4

Version 1.0 - Initial Release
Version 1.1 - Bugfix for vB 4.1.4 and above
Version 1.7.7 - Critical Security Update
Version 1.8.0 - Added post count setting / Added existing Markup setting

Live Demo: Qapla.com Forums Demo (Gold Version).

The purpose of this mod is to let users pick a custom font (either from a list you specify or optionally, a custom font they choose) to show up wherever username markup is allowed. (The postbit, profiles, who's online, blogs, CMS, etc...)

This is the free version, you can let users choose a font.

The GOLD version allows users to to choose a font, a font size, and/or a font color- each permission with independent usergroup control.
Gold version available at: Qapla.com Forums - Username Color, Size, & Font Selection.

Both versions include a "Live Preview" option allowing users to instantly see the effect of their changes before saving.

Both versions automatically add the options in Settings -> General Settings page, at the bottom, for users with permission.

In both versions all options font (and color/ size in gold) are independently controllable by usergroup permissions, so for example you could let registered users pick a font, mods pick a font AND color, and VIP users pick a font, color, and size.

You can add or remove available fonts from the list in Admin CP.

In the Gold version you can add/remove available colors and you can set a range of allowable font sizes.

See Screenshots for more details.
Screenshots are of free version only. See the GOLD thread, above, for screenshots of GOLD version.

Anyone running VB 4.1.4 to 4.1.8 please see the bug notice in the next post.

Edit plugin Username Markup Override at hook fetch_musername and change

$bop_username .= '">'.$user['username'].'</span>';

to

$bop_username .= '">'.$user['musername'].'</span>';

You can add as many fonts you want from the Mod Settings, but if users dont have the fonts installed in their PC is useless to have them listed unless you force them to install the custom fonts

[BirdOPrey5]

To expand a bit on what FReeSTER said- Available fonts aren't stored by this mod or on your server. You literally just add or remove the Names of fonts from the list. The included list is basically the same as the standard vBulletin font list which are very common fonts.

If the person viewing your site had "Arial Black" installed, and the font chosen is "Arial Black" then the user will see the font in "Arial Black." If they don't have Arial Black installed they will see a default font instead.

You do not need to download any fonts.

You can use Google Web Font to get more fonts but user don't have to install any font on there computers. I tested and it works fine .
But Using many font styles can slow down your webpage, so only select the font styles that you actually need on your webpage.

**Template issue at General Settings
Edit modifyoptions_bop5usernamefont (Modify User Option Templates > modifyoptions_bop5usernamefont) and then delete </div> at the top of the template will fix it.
