Forum Display Enhancements - Colors For Usergroup In Forum Last Post

You like colored usergroups? Looking for mods which add it in different paces? Like to have last post author colored in forum display?

So came and get it!
This mod shows usergroups HTML markup in forum last post author

Simple and Easy! Just install last release of product (see number at the end of filename)
No template modifications
And... please click Mark as Installed - thanks

Enjoy!

Version history:
1.0.1 Fixed issue for phrases (you don't need to update - it is for new installations only)
1.0.0 Mod released

Known Issues:
- When you change usergroup for user who made last post, or change usergroup markup, then it is not updated in view till new post arrives in forum. It means, that in case of such changes style visible in last post will be the old one. It is because it is cached, but only till new post arrives (then will be cached new value). I have it in TODO list, but because of performance issues probably I will leave it this way. Even when somebody notice it, it will disappear fast (assuming that people are writing on your forum )

It is not a good solution - but still it works Mod is cleaning DB changes during uninstall. Usage of this column is added by mod plugin (Update cache) so if mod is uninstalled then vB should delete all plugins for it and what you are describing shouldn't ever happen. If it does - for me it means some vB bug.

Hello,

I've installed this modification and it has been running great for a while, and it still does but I would like to report a problem.

If I change the color of an usergroup or change someone's usergroup if that person was in any of the last posts his name color wont change.. I had to unistall and re-install the mod so the changes I made to my usergroups could be shown.

Thats all, I hope you can fix this.

Yes - I'm aware of this issue. It stays in old way since it is cached. And when you change usergroup for someone, or color of usergroup it doesn't affect the cache. I didn't care about it before because it is usually short termed - when someone writes anything new then cache will be populated with actual data - even it it is same guy who previously stays in old fashion style.

I put it in my TODO list, but it has low priority for me - will be fixed when I find time for it.

Till then you can just relax - you don't have to uninstall and install it again - all what is needed it is wait till new post occurs for specific forum Mostly people don't have enough time to see it. And even if do - it is harmless
