Username & Post Decorations Hack · **Released**: 05-07-2003

This hack was an old idea I had a long time ago that I kind of made a hack for, but it was kinda messed up.

What this hack does is allow usernames to be of different colors, with backgrounds and borders on the names. This also works for posts. The hack is done for an actual post, and includes instructions on how to make the decorated name in the Memberlist and on the thread listing. It is also controlled through the Admin CP.

Installing this hack requires
2 New tables (created and populated by a script)
2 New Files
3 File Edits (Optional 5)
3 New Templates
1 Template Edit (Optional 3)

It is relatively easy, nothing too confusing. I will provide as much support as I can. This should work for newer versions, but I'm not positive if it does.

I will post 4 screenshots, 1 of the new posts, 1 of the Admin CP, 1 of the thread listing, and 1 of the Memberlist.

Good luck and have fun!

The database for the "custom_option" gets miss spelled with the auto installer....Just go into phpmyadmin and edit it manually or just use the file im attaching...

lol gotta love the keyboard tough guys....

My only problem now is getting the admin options to actually save....They keep going back to defaults..

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
