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".

That is an easy fix. You need to go it go all those products and set the Execution Order to something other than 1, which is what this mod is set at. They are all set at one and fighting one another. Not much else you can do.

As far as this being the same thing as the other mod, they are not even close in what they can do. This mod has many more locations available, for one thing.

Working

4.1.2

[China-Rising]

Installed and working perfectly.

One request though:

Is it possible to make the legend clickable? in other words I click on the Administrator and and it will take you to the member page of who belongs in that group? Or I click on Registered users and it takes you to the page listing all the members who belong in that group?

They have this on phpBB.

That would require adding a lot more to this mod than I'm willing to do as it is a free mod.

No problem Boofo, keep up the great work. I always find your mods very useful

[Coume]

Thanks.

I installed it on my forum ( http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/ ) but all the usergroups are written in the same color.
Any idea on what to do to fix it?

Thanks

You need to add the "Username HTML Markup" for each usergroup in the Usergroup settings.

[TR KRUPT]

I have a question does anyone know how to get the different names colored. Sorry just breaking into this whole website thing. Thanks, Also what is a HTML Markup. Sorry im very new to this. lol

[Mikevet1984]

Take a look at this short tutorial.

Enter Admin CP --> Usergroups --> Usergroup Manager

<Edit usergroup> for every usergroup you would like to edit. Click on the GO button.

When the permission page loads go to <Username HTML Markup > option. You will find there two empty boxes.

In the first one write:

<span style="font: 12px Tahoma; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;">

Change the font settings as you wish for the usergroup. #FF0000 is the html color, this is what you are looking for. For more color htmls take a look here and replace the #FF0000 with whatever you like.

In the second one write:

</span>

Take a look at the attached screenshot.

Hope I was useful and helped.

Regards!
