Glowing usernames based on postcount?

[dirgotronix]

Ok, I've got a working example up, so I guess I'll post instructions for any other interested people.

In admin/functions.php:

under ############## Start buildpostbit ############

Right after all the global defs for function getpostbit($post):

Insert:

PHP Code:

$post[specialusername] = $post[username];

if ( $post[posts] >= 0 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 500 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#000000, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 1000 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#111111, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 1500 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#222222, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 2000 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#333333, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 2500 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#444444, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 3000 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#555555, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 3500 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#666666, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 4000 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#777777, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 4500 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#888888, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 5000 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#999999, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; }
if ( $post[posts] > 5500 ) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=#aaaaaa, strength=2)\"><tr><td>$post[username]</td></tr></table>"; } 


Then, in your postbit template, change $post[username] to $post[specialusername]

The colors I used are just for example, since I'm not entirely creative at the moment.
