Mini Mods - Usergroup Legend with Links To FAQ

Overview:

This product allows you to display a legend of selected usergroups in your WGO block, directly below the list of users who have visited the site recently. You may link each usergroup name to an FAQ item if you have such items defined to describe certain usergroups. You may choose to strip the trailing "s" from the usergroup names in case the usergroup names are plural, but you want the singular to show in the legend. You may choose to simply delimit the list with commas, or choose one from 10 special characters, or enter you own custom character(s). You may choose the size of the delimiter as a percentage of the default font-size. You may assign any custom CSS to the legend's usergroup list.

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Added setting for the control of the delimiter CSS.

Version 1.2:

• Legend is only visible for users that can either see who is online or can see who has visited.

Version 1.2.1:

• Fixed bug with diamond delimiter.

Version 1.3:

• Added setting to allow for image as custom delimiter.

Compatibility:

Hello Mark,

How do you add a separator between the names?

As you can see (attached image), the two texts are barred and it doesn't look good:

[MarkFL]

You can add CSS to the delimiters (separators)...try something like:

margin-right: 0.25em;

in the setting labeled "Additional Delimiter CSS."

The barrier remains above the separator(screen 1):

How to get the not-bold separators (like a Boofo's Legend; screen 2)???

[MarkFL]

If you want the separator to not be bold, then add the delimiter CSS:

font-weight: normal;

Thanks Mark,

Do you know from what it could depends?

[MarkFL]

Try adding this to your delimiter CSS:

text-decoration: none;

It change anything.

I think I've found the problem with Google inspecting:

<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #2c221e; text-decoration: line-through;" <="" span=""><span style="font-size: 102%; margin-right: 0.5em; font-weight: normal; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;">|</span>Utenti Bannati&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>

These spaces directly insert your product, prolong the barred character. How do you remove them?

If I understand correctly, it looks like something in your usergroup HTML markup...check that out.

The Boofo's product, doesn't present this problem. It's part of the product:


$usergroup_list .= '<div style="display: inline-block; padding-left: 0">' . $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$id_arr[0]]['opentag'] . '<span style="font-size: ' . $vbulletin->options['markfl_usergroup_legend_delimitsize'] . '%; ' . $vbulletin->options['markfl_usergroup_legend_delimcss'] . '">' . $delimiter . '</span>' . $uname . $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$id_arr[0]]['closetag'] . '&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>';

What is the name of the template of your product?
