Images displayed before Username for certain Usergroups

[Brexen]

Hi Guys,

I need to know if there is a plugin out there, that allows me to set an option to display an image before the username; if a user is in a certain usergroup. If not, how would I go about creating one, so it displays everywhere on my forum?

I know this can be done with HTML Mark-up, but I want it done my way, so that the HTML Mark-up of this group, don't interfere with other Usergroups.

Example: A user can be Premium and apart of this group with the image still displayed left of their username, without affecting the username colour.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm not sure if this exists already, but you could create a plugin using hook fetch_musername and add image code to $user['musername']. Like:

if (is_member_of($user, X))
{
   $user['musername'] = "<img src='images/someimg.gif'>" . $user['musername'];
}

Thanks Kh99,

But is this;

If User is UserID add image or If user is a member of UsergroupID add images?

The second would be preferred ofcourse, but I shall try this nonetheless.

The second one. 'X' is a groupid, and can be the primary group or any secondary group. (BTW, you can also list more values if you want, like is_member_of($user, X, Y, Z...)

Returned a lovely error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/tactical/public_html/includes/functions.php(1620) : eval()'d code on line 3

I'm using it on my test forum, before I try it on my main.

Oops, there was a typo - should have been ')' instead of ':' -

if (is_member_of($user, X))
{
   $user['musername'] = "<img src='images/someimg.gif'>" . $user['musername'];
}

Also you need to be careful to use single quotes in your img tag.

If you still get an error, post your exact code here.

Works brilliantly, thanks KH99, great help as always.

Also to anyone who's trying this and wants text to be displayed when hovering over the Image.

Change this:

<img src='X'>

to this;

<img src='X' title='Y'>

Where X = image URL, and Y = Text to be displayed.

Tested and working
