Description: This makes a usergroup legend that you can see what group belongs to whom by hovering over the color.

This mod is ported from this one here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=140019

All credits go to Digitalus since he came up with this design.

Note: This mod does work with vBulletin 4.1.8.

It is easy to add more colors for usergroups. I will post that below.

Installation time: About 2 minutes (2 Phrases, 1 Manual Template Change)

Note: If you are using this mod, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=254239, it will conflict with my mod. Make sure if you use my mod, to delete the other one.

Also note: Make sure your style is updated to the newest version or there may be issues.

Also Note: This mod may contain a few glitches and/or bugs until I get them worked out. If someone wants to make this into an XML product, knock yourself out.

Installation:

Step 1: Go to admincp > Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager > Add New Phrase:

Phrase Type: Global
Product: vBulletin
Varname: legend_title
Text: Usergroup Legend

Save!

Step 2: Go to Admincp > Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager > Ass New Phrase:

Phrase Type: Global
Product: vBulletin
Varname: legend_alt_title
Text: User Group Legend

Save!

Step 3: Go to your AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager

Step 4: Choose your style

Step 5: Click on "Forum Home Templates", then click on "Forum Home"

Step 6: Look for:

<!-- what's going on box -->

Add Below:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

setup_memberlegend = function(tobj)
{
	prefix = ''
	suffix = ''

	if (tobj.getAttribute('ital'))
	{
		prefix += '<em>'
		suffix += '</em>'
	}

	if (tobj.getAttribute('undr'))
	{
		prefix += '<u>'
		suffix += '</u>'
	}

	if (tobj.getAttribute('bold'))
	{
		prefix += '<b>'
		suffix += '</b>'
	}

	if (tobj.getAttribute('line'))
	{
		prefix += '<s>'
		suffix += '</s>'
	}

	if (tobj.getAttribute('clr'))
	{
		prefix += '<span style="color:' + tobj.getAttribute('clr') + ';">'
		suffix += '</span>'
	}



	fetch_object('memberlegend').innerHTML = prefix + tobj.getAttribute('group') + suffix
}

-->
</script>

Step 7: Also in the "Forum Home" template, look for:

<!-- end logged-in users -->

Add below:

<!-- Usergroup Legend --> 
<div id="wgo_legend" class="wgo_subblock section collapse"><h3 class="blocksubhead"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/forum_stats.png" alt="{vb:phrase legend_alt_title}"/>{vb:phrase legend_title}</h3> <a class="collapse" id="collapse_legend_list" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" alt="Collapse/Expand" /></a>

                </div>
                <div style="float:left;">&nbsp;</div>

                <div style="float:left;">&nbsp;</div>

		</div>
		<div style="float:left;width:10px;height:1px;">&nbsp;</div>
		<div style="float:left;" id="memberlegend"></div>
         </div>
<br><br>
<!-- End Usergroup Legend -->

Click on Save and Reload!

You can adjust the usergroup names and colors to your liking.

If you want to add another usergroup, find the spot you want in the code above, and add this code:

<div style="float:left;">&nbsp;</div>
		<div class="alt2" style="float:left;height:12px;width:12px;padding:0px;" group="Member" bold="y" 

clr="#000000" onmouseover="setup_memberlegend(this)" onmouseout="fetch_object('memberlegend').innerHTML = ''">
			<div style="height:12px;width:12px;background:#000000;"></div>
		</div>

The blue highlighted area is the name you can change
The red highlighted area is the html color code you can change.

Hey, I was wondering if there's any way to make this into just an html code for a Forum Block. I already use a different legend for Out of Character accounts which is about eight usergroups, but I have a lot of other usergroups that's color coded depending on the character job and I would really like it to just be in a forum block on the side bar. I actually tried to put the code there and it works, except for the mouseover part.

I used:

<div style="height:15px;width:15px;background:#FF0000;"></div>

But I need something to make that have the mouseover effect and tell the usergroup in just plain HTML, under the box or to the right, would be great.
