Better Notice for Invisible Users

[Amaury]

I don't think the asterisks for invisible users (see Pyrrha Nikos) stand out enough.

Would it be possible to add a text notice of sorts with a hyperlink that will lead them to the Invisible Mode section of the options in the User CP?

I'm not on invisible, but something like this.

Bump.

Am sure a plugin could be made

Wait, no one will be able to see the text or hyperlink, since the user is hidden.

Only invisible users would see the text and hyperlink.

Ok then why would they need such a thing? Just trying to see what the thought is behind it.

Read my OP again.

Currently, the only way to tell if a user is invisible is via the postbit status or the asterisk next to their name.

Having the text in my image appear globally for users that are invisible stands out more than the asterisks and statuses. It would prevent invisible users from forgetting to go visible again if the reason they were invisible is no longer valid, such as no longer being busy.

I tried doing this via a plugin, but I don't think the required hook is there. So you can do the following.

Open the file, includes/functions_bigthree.php and find the following:

$user['invisiblemark'] = '*';

Change it to this:

$user['invisiblemark'] = '<a href="profile.php?do=editoptions" rel="nofollow"> Invisible</a>';

You can change the word to anything you wish.
