Show Thread Enhancements - [OzzModz] Postbit Background For Specific Users

Another mod brought to you by,


Here is a small modification you can do to have a different background in the postbit, set to specific users, in postbit legacy.

To get this to work, follow the instructions in the attached, Postbit Background For Specific Users.txt file.

I don't have any screenshots at the moment, I'll try to get some. Or if some of you use this mod, please share a screenshot of what you have done.

Ahh, I dunno I will see what I can come up with.

As far as what I had originally said, I think it is a bad idea, as the posts could get awful ugly looking if users were allowed to add the images.

Ok I found a way to do it, in your style open your CSS templates, then find editor.css.

Find this bit of code:

.texteditor.forum .cke_skin_kama textarea.cke_source,
.texteditor.forum textarea {
    color: {vb:stylevar editor_text_color};
    font: {vb:stylevar postbit_font};
    white-space:pre-wrap;
    background: {vb:stylevar editor_background};
}

Replace it with this:

.texteditor.forum .cke_skin_kama textarea.cke_source,
.texteditor.forum textarea {
    color: {vb:stylevar editor_text_color};
    font: {vb:stylevar postbit_font};
    white-space:pre-wrap;
    background-color: {vb:stylevar editor_background};
    background: url(images/chain_gradient.jpg); no-repeat;
}

Of course change chain_gradient.jpg to your image that you want to use. And load your image that you want to use to your images folder.

Actually not that I think about it, you can have a background image in the editor by editing the stylevar, editor_background by entering the following in the Background Image field:

url(images/chain_gradient.jpg)

Of course change chain_gradient.jpg to your image that you want to use. And load your image that you want to use to your images folder.

Rather than individual members, can usergroup (s) be employed? For example, I could see using this to watermark postbits with a 'Subscriber' logo for members with paid subscriptions. The idea would be that once someone subscribes, they are automatically put into a "subscriber" usergroup, and thus have their postbits denoted as such. Thereby encouraging others to also subscribe.

Sure I believe this will work for usergroups.

Change the following line, which is the fist bit in the code.

<vb:if condition="in_array($post['userid'], array(X,X,X))">

To this:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, X,X,X)">

X being the usergroupid, if that does not work let me know and I will test it out.

There is no real update, I just removed the code from the first post, and put it into a txt file.

I have edited in this way, to change from the userid of our bot, to the usergroup that contains the bot, and it works fine
