Custom User Status by Usergroup [Final]

I could not find a way to add an additional user status field based on usergroup other than setting a override, which got rid of the normal usertitle based on post count and I didn't want that. This is my solution.

This hack adds an additional field to the usergroup table and allows you to display that custom group status field in addition to the normal usertitle that is defined either custom for the user or normally by number of posts without overriding the usertitle variable.

The end result gives you something like this (depending on how you edit your postbit template) for the output:

Jen
Tyro Hacker
[Custom Group Status Here]
[Users Avatar]
[Users other details]

The custom group status is set within the cp from the user group modify function for each group you want to add this additional status field to.

Questions, Problems, etc.. ask here as I am unable to provide support via email. This hack has been tested on vB 2.2.6.

Question: what would I put in the template of privmsg in order to get the custom user status show up?

I've tried $fromuserinfo[groupcustomstatus], $post[groupcustomstatus], and many other things in hopes of finding something, but truthfully I have no idea what I am doing

That's something I haven't gotten around to doing yet but will likely involve a change to some SQL to get the user status field accessable on the privmsg pages.

Okay Well it isn't that important, but I would be sooo grateful if you got the chance to do it.

will this hack work in vB3.0.02?

I wouldn't know because I haven't tried, but I seriously doubt it. The file edits wouldn't be the same... You'd REALLY have to know what you were doing to try it.
