Users Browsing Formatting

This may well of been done before, but I did look and couldn't find anything.

This small (ok, teeny) hack changes the way that usernames are displayed in [Users Browsing this Forum:]
on the forum display page.
I'd always wondered why vB had made Moderators names in bold, and Admininstrators names bold italic on the front page
(Who's Online) but no-where else where it applied, so I altered the forumdisplay.php file so that Mods and Admin were
always bold (and italic) for "Users Browsing" too.

To see a demo of this hack working, please visit
http://www.hwulex.co.uk/vB/forumdisplay.php?forumid=2

NB: If you do install this hack, please click on the INSTALL button. You will receive updates in your email whenever I add new features to it.
Also post a reply with your comments, they are appreciated.

Tested on: vBulletin 2.2.5
File to modify: forumdisplay.php (also showthread.php if using with FireFly's hack)
Estimated Install Time: 2 minutes

I don't have this installed myself, so I can test this - but your typical glow code looks something like:

PHP Code:

<table style="filter:glow(color=[COLORHERE], strength=3)">Thing to format</table> 


Should be fairly easy to add - I'm sure Hwu will do it

P.S. - does it have to be in a table?

Yes, it's fairly easy to make them glow.

When you've installed the hack;

Find

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) {
    $username = "<b><i>$bbuserinfo[username]</i></b>"; 


And replace with

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) {
    $username = "<span style=\"width: 40; height: 12; color: blue; Filter: Glow(Color=blue, Strength=2)\">$bbuserinfo[username]</span>"; 


Just change the Style settings as you please.
This can of course be done to any of the $username = "$bbuserinfo[username]"; code at your discretion.

I've attatched a small image to show what it looks like when applied

Installed on 2.2.4 and seems to be working very nicely, thanks Hwulex

If you want it to glow, don't use the table tag. This will put the name in a new table, which will not list the names in a line, it will be broken up..

(Users Browsing this Forum: name1, name2,
name3
, name 4)

I believe....

Correct, if you want to use the Glow feature, follow the instructions I put in Post #12

Thx you are my hero sl ois there a way too make it show like that on Who's Online if there is ill be over da moon

[NTLDR]

Yeah, Who's Online can be changed to, I haven't got time to post the changes now, I need sleep but I can do tomorrow

[EDIT]
Thinking about it Who's Online & Currently Active users already does this, unless I'm very much mistaken, which I don't think I am! I have changed my Who's Online & Active Users to display me in a different colour, but the Bold and Italics I belive have allways been there.
[/EDIT]

[John]

You're right NTLDR, "Who's Online" does already do this automatically
