Mini Mods - Usergroup Legend with Links To FAQ

Overview:

This product allows you to display a legend of selected usergroups in your WGO block, directly below the list of users who have visited the site recently. You may link each usergroup name to an FAQ item if you have such items defined to describe certain usergroups. You may choose to strip the trailing "s" from the usergroup names in case the usergroup names are plural, but you want the singular to show in the legend. You may choose to simply delimit the list with commas, or choose one from 10 special characters, or enter you own custom character(s). You may choose the size of the delimiter as a percentage of the default font-size. You may assign any custom CSS to the legend's usergroup list.

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Added setting for the control of the delimiter CSS.

Version 1.2:

• Legend is only visible for users that can either see who is online or can see who has visited.

Version 1.2.1:

• Fixed bug with diamond delimiter.

Version 1.3:

• Added setting to allow for image as custom delimiter.

Compatibility:

Tested and working on VB 4.2.x and should work on all 4.x versions of vBulletin.

It's possible another mod could be in conflict with this one...I would be happy to come to your site and troubleshoot, if you want. If so, PM to me the credentials for an admin account.

Yes, I tried it and got the same thing...but was able to fix it. Once I know the issue at your site, I will post an update of the product.

I can relay to you things to try until your site owner can set me up with a temp. admin account.

coming soon admin just came online sory about this...

I fixed the diamond character issue, with the latest update.

For everyone's information, the issue at trollshroom's site was a missing template hook in the FORUMHOME template...so I edited the plugin to use another, and all is good now.

Any way to add the option to add a thread link rather than a FAQ link?

I don't plan to change that...it seems to me the best place to place information about staff is the FAQ.
