Usergroup Legend on Forumhome for vB 4
Version 1.1.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will show the user groups you have available on your site in a legend on the forumhome. It will also check to see if the 'Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online' product is installed and enabled. If found, "Spiders" will be added to the end of the Legend.

Credits:
Thanks to LifesGreatestGift for the CSS and style variable help.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vBulletin 4.1.2
Version 1.0.1 --Fixed issue with there not being enough space between the legend and activeusers when the legend was placed above activeusers. Also switched from p tags to spans tags to make it 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant. The centered legends are now centered on the full width of the wgo box, sans the left margin.
Version 1.0.2 --Spider Display Font Color is now set by the style variable setting for the spider color in the 'Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online' v1.0.6 mod, if it is installed.
Version 1.0.3 --Removed Enable/Disable setting and added "Do not show Usergroup Legend" as the first option in the "Usergroup Legend on Forumhome Location" setting.
Version 1.0.4 --Fixed full line break spacing.
Version 1.0.5 --Changed the hook to avoid conflicting with Paul M's mods.
Version 1.0.6 --Added 3 more location settings (Above activeusers centered with 1/2 and full line breaks).
Version 1.0.7 --Added Usergroup Separator setting. You can now choose from 10 different separators to show between the usergroups.
Version 1.0.8 --Added 2 more separators to the separator setting, for a total of 12. (vertical bar and horizontal ellipsis = three dot leader)
Version 1.0.9 --Fixed legend from being pushed too far left if the line was too long. Added setting for usergroups allowed to view the legend. Removed "Do not show Usergroup Legend" as the first option in the "Usergroup Legend on Forumhome Location" setting. Added setting to show "Spiders" at the end of the legend. Added setting to show Spider Image as a separator before "Spiders" in the legend.
Version 1.1.0 --Added style variable to change the color of the legend separator. Rewrote code to add CSS instead of coding it all inline.
Version 1.1.1 --Fixed CSS as it was showing the usergroups stacked in IE. Also added a phrase for the word "Spiders".

There was another update after 1.0.7 that added 2 more separators. You might want to grab version 1.0.8.

Love this mod! Thank you so much. Is it perhaps possible to hide this for guests? I don't show members online for guests, but this still shows.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Just do a conditional for it around the code.

Thank you!

I have recently used a few of this developers mods. I have gone through the process of marking as downloaded,marked as installed,as well as rated. And with this being a new update I would think that either you want the mod for what it states its purpose as well as functions are. If you need additional options such as I needed message him and offer him something for his time as I did. I think what gets overlooked here by a lot of us vbulletin license owners is when it comes to using these mods for our own personal sites we are not accounting for the time the developer put in to making them.

Yes, thank you, but which code should I look for?


EDIT: I figured it out thanks. And I donated to support the developer too. As I have done for many many other developers as well. So please, in future, RSNF, don't generalize OK!

Thanks.

I want to thank the 3 kind people who have donated for this mod. It is nice seeing some respect shown for all the hard work and energy put into coding free mods here on the org. The rest of you members can learn something from these 3.

A good idea would be to add the nicks of the donators in the first post...as thankfulness to their donations. This would be a reward for their good action.
