That whole line "Started by xxxx, date" is under the class of label. So, if you use CSS to change the class label to another color, that whole like will get changed. Therefore, you would need to edit the template to add a class only around those two words.

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

Here's what you can do:

1.) Create a new phrase:

Language: MASTER LANGUAGE

Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Product: vBulletin

Varname: m_started_by_x_y_z_a

Text:

HTML Code:

<span class="label">Started by&nbsp;<a href="{1}" class="username understate" title="Started by {2} on {4} {5}">{3}</a>{6},&nbsp;{4}&nbsp;{5}</span>

Click "Save"

2.) Create new plugins:

First plugin:

Product: vBulletin

Hook Location: threadbit_display

Title: Username Markup In Threadbit (threadbit)

Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:


			
global $db, $vbulletin;



$authors = $vbulletin->db->query_read("

    SELECT user.*

    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user

    WHERE userid = " . $thread['postuserid']

);



$author = $db->fetch_array($authors);



if ($author['displaygroupid'])

{

    $groupid = $author['displaygroupid'];

}

else

{

    $groupid = $author['usergroupid'];

}



$open_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['opentag'];

$close_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['closetag'];



$thread['postmusername'] = ($open_tag . $thread['postusername'] . $close_tag);

Plugin is Active: Yes

Click "Save"

Second Plugin:

Product: vBulletin

Hook Location: search_results_threadbit

Title: Username Markup In Threadbit (search_results)

    SELECT user.*

    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user

    WHERE userid = " . $thread['postuserid']

);



$author = $db->fetch_array($authors);



if ($author['displaygroupid'])

{

    $groupid = $author['displaygroupid'];

}

else

{

    $groupid = $author['usergroupid'];

}



$open_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['opentag'];

$close_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['closetag'];



$thread['postmusername'] = ($open_tag . $thread['postusername'] . $close_tag);

Plugin is Active: Yes

3.) Edit templates (for each style you want to change): threadbit, threadbit_deleted, search_threadbit

Find each instance of:

HTML Code:

{vb:rawphrase started_by_x_y_z_a, {vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}, {vb:raw thread.postusername}, {vb:raw thread.startdate}, {vb:raw thread.starttime}, {vb:stylevar dirmark}}

and change it to:

HTML Code:

{vb:rawphrase m_started_by_x_y_z_a, {vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}, {vb:raw thread.postusername}, {vb:raw thread.postmusername}, {vb:raw thread.startdate}, {vb:raw thread.starttime}, {vb:stylevar dirmark}}

I need to work this into a product, so it works in all styles with no template edits. As it is now, those db queries are being run no matter which style you are using. I will do this soon.
