Forum Display Enhancements - Military Branches v1.01

Military Branches v1.01
Created by SVTCobraLTD for 3.6.x - 4.1.x

This will add a small Military Banner to your postbit templates. I found this useful for my forums so I hope you do. See the screen shots for more information. Right now it only contains Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force. Currently the images are made with a white background and a dark gray background. I am willing to help make the images match the background on your board for members who donate.

vb4 Instructions Included!

For VB4 look for the following code in postbit_legacy:

<div class="username_container">
			<vb:if condition="$post['userid']">
				{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}
				{vb:raw post.onlinestatus}
			<vb:else />
				<span class="username guest">{vb:raw post.musername}</span>
			</vb:if>
			</div>
			<span class="usertitle">
				{vb:raw post.usertitle}
			</span>

And put the following below it:

<vb:if condition="$post[usergroupid] == XX"><img src="images/misc/xxxxxxx.gif"></vb:if>

Otherwise follow the original instructions...

In general IF statements remain the same between VB3 and VB4 except add "vb:" in front of the "if".

Hi BOP5, I was able to do the first part of the instructions, but couldn't find the <div class="bugusername"... in the Templates>memberinfo edit.

to add:
<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == xx"><img src="images/misc/XXXXXX.giof"></if>

Thanks again for your help

[BirdOPrey5]

Hey, sorry I didn't see the second edit in the instructions... for the MEMBERINFO template in VB4 look for:

<span id="userinfo">
						<span class="member_username">{vb:raw prepared.musername}</span>
						<span class="member_status">{vb:raw prepared.onlinestatus}</span>
						<vb:if condition="$prepared['usertitle']">
							<br />
							<span class="usertitle">{vb:raw prepared.usertitle}</span>
						</vb:if>

And put the "IF" beneath it.

However looking at the <IF> code I seriously doubt the code given in the instructions will work in MEMBERINFO...

The code given is:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == XX"><img src="images/misc/xxxxxxx.gif"></if>

And translated to VB4 is:

<vb:if condition="$post[usergroupid] == XX"><img src="images/misc/xxxxxxx.gif"></vb:if>

HOWEVER... $post is only available in the postbit template, it has no value in MEMBERINFO so I can't see how this would have ever worked...

I believe the correct code should be:

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid] == XX"><img src="images/misc/xxxxxxx.gif"></vb:if>

Hi BOP, I think I did what you said. I tried both codes and neither worked. The second update is in memberinfo, correct? Any other thoughts? Thanks again for your time!

[BirdOPrey5]

Yeah, looks like I was a little off on where to place it, sorry about that.

I have tested this exact code and it's working for me:

Find:

<span id="userinfo">
						<span class="member_username">{vb:raw prepared.musername}</span>
						<span class="member_status">{vb:raw prepared.onlinestatus}</span>
						<vb:if condition="$prepared['usertitle']">
							<br />
							<span class="usertitle">{vb:raw prepared.usertitle}</span>
	  					</vb:if>
					</span>
				</h1>

And right below </h1> add:

<vb:if condition="$userinfo[usergroupid] == 6"><img src="http://www.qapla.com/ju/jump.gif" /><br /></vb:if>

Change the number 6 to the usergroup id you want, and change the src to your image, but like I said this exact code works for me.

Thank you to BirdsOPrey for updating instructions for vb4!! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=256558

[printedgear]

I just figured it out!!!! You're awesome!!!! Thanks!

[BirdOPrey5]

I had a mistake in my code... The text to add to member info SHOULD BE:

<vb:if condition="$userinfo[usergroupid] == 6"><img src="http://www.qapla.com/ju/jump.gif" /><br /></vb:if>

The code I previously posted would have displayed the rank of the person viewing the profile, not the rank of the person's profile they were viewing.

Sorry for the confusion. I will edit my original post.
