For Postbit Legacy (vertical) Users:

Open Template:

postbit_legacy

Find:

<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>

Replace with:

<if condition="is_member_of($post, 5) OR is_member_of($post, 6)"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a></td><td valign="middle"><img src="images/icons/shield.png" alt="User is a ##YOUR FORUM## Moderator" border="0" /></td></tr></table><else /><a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a></if>

For Postbit (horizontal) Users:

Open Template:

postbit

Find:

<if condition="$show['infractionlink']"><a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/infraction.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_infraction_for_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a> &nbsp;</if>

Add BEFORE:

            <if condition="is_member_of($post, 5) OR is_member_of($post, 6)"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/icons/shield.png" alt="User is a ##YOUR FORUM## Moderator" border="0" /> &nbsp;</if>

Additional Instructions:

• Upload the "shield.png" icon to your images/icons folder
• Change ##YOUR FORUM## to your forum's name. (only one instance per postbit)

FAQ's:

• How can I add/remove groups that this gets assigned to?
  • In:

    <if condition="is_member_of($post, 5) OR is_member_of($post, 6)">

    add or remove the

    OR is_member_of($post, X)

    where X is the usergroup number.

Things to Note:

The current usergroups this is assigned to are 5 and 6 which are Super Moderators and Administrators. You can add or remove usergroups with the instructions above.

You just don't have this part added, which is why it is not showing up.

sorry, not understanding this.... you know i want (for now) a shield for admin/mod (which works) and a different shield for VIP's (which are in usergroup 19)

thanks.

For a shield for VIPs, upload the image to the same directory that you did it for the "staff" shield, and edit the code to point to the VIP shield. However, I am not that gread with coding to say exactly how to do it, but I know that is the general process.

Well that isnt the code I used. I just took your code and modified it to include what you were missing. Unfortunately I am not good with coding (still learning) so I wouldnt begin to know the code to point to your vip shield.

My webmaster should know. I sent him a link to this thread.
