Username Decorations

Username Decorations!

As requested by myself and JohnWarwick.

What does this hack do?
It allows you to change your username's font color, background color, border, and make it italicized or underlined.
It uses profile fields (discussed in the readme), so you can allow the users to do it themselves, or leave it to the admins.

What is needed for this hack?
1 File Edit
8 New Templates

How long does it take?
About 10-15 minutes, 3-8 with the Template Importer by FireFly.

Everything else is in the readme attached.

ADDITIONAL TEMPLATE EDIT NOT IN README:
Template edit - postbit template
REPLACE: $post[username]
WITH: $post[namecolor]

If you're using a store hack that replaces the $post[username] with $storeextraglow, simply edit the postbit_namecolor templates, and replace $post[username] with $storeextraglow.

It doesn't work?

Make sure you change the field values correctly in the Functions.php AND all the templates. The defaults are listed in the readme. It should work fine if all of that's done.

I haven't noticed that it slows down the browser at all, mine still works fine.

[AnkisethGallant]

In fact, if you really want, PM me with the field IDs you want to use. I can change everything for you and then see if it works.

[John]

I triple checked it, with each of the field ids two higher than in functions.php and in the templates (my IDs started at 8)

[AnkisethGallant]

And you're still having a problem? Check to make sure your fields match the ones that were the defaults (i.e., the text color field is field8, et cetera). If you're still getting a problem, show me your functions.php section.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM PEOPLE

I knew I'd screw something up in my first hack.

Template edit - postbit template
REPLACE: $post[username]
WITH: $post[namecolor]

That should solve everything.

Just spent hours removing this hack, now I've got to install it again

[John]

But thanks for the fix

[Dakota]

Nice hack. I like it.

[bonnmac]

I like the looks of it but... when applied the user name doesn't show up at all? I've used the default profile fields and edited the additional file you posted. Here's what my "functions.php" looks like. Maybe you can tell me what's wrong? I hope cause this is a really cool hack. Thanks

I just put up to the point of the edit I'm supposed to do for this hack. Thanks a bunch.

That functions.php section looks right from what I remember (I'm not at my comp). When you say you edited the file, you mean the postbit template, right?

MAKE SURE ALL your profile fields match the correct FIELD NUMBERS from what I specified in the readme. Also, make sure ALL the templates are done correctly. If you're still having problems I'll try and figure it out.
