Moderator Icon on postbit

This is a hack to show a small icon next to usernames on a post, when you mouse over you will also get told what rank they are, Admin, Super Mod or Moderator.

Add the following template
postbit_moderator_icon

<img src="{imagesfolder}/mod.gif" alt="$rank">

save the template

Edit the postbit template and place $mod_logo somewhere on it, i chose next to the username.

open up functions.php

look for

PHP Code:

        // do posts from ignored users
        if (!$ignore[$post[userid]]) { 


ABOVE it put

PHP Code:

        switch($post['usergroupid']) {
          case "6";
          $rank = "Administrator";
          eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
          break;

          case "5";
          $rank = "Super Moderator";
          eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
          break;

          case "7";
          $rank = "Moderator";
          eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
          break;

          default:
          $mod_logo = "";
          break;
        } 


save and upload functions.php

The hack will now work, but if you want to save on the extra query to the database to get the template.

Open showthread.php and add

PHP Code:

,postbit_moderator_icon 


to the end of $templatesused you will have to do this twice.

attached is the mod logo i used

it will be better, if admin can set in admin cp icons for each usergroup!

the whole point of the hack was to give this feature without adding on all the extra queries, the only solution is to add the extra query for each usergroup, so if you have 9 usergroups thats 9 queries.

ok, i know it! it's easy!

[Scott MacVicar]

Add a column called usergroupicon to your usergroup table.

in your showthread.php add

PHP Code:

$icon = $DB_site->query("SELECT usergroupid,usergroupicon FROM usergroup ORDER by usergroupid");
while($icons = $DB_site->fetch_array($icon)) {
   $icon_cache["$icons[usergroupid]"] = $icons[usergroupicon];
}
unset($icons);
$DB_site->free_result($icon); 


You then add global $icon_cache; in the getpostbit function in /admin/functions.php and then just add $icon_cache["$post[usergroupid]"] in the postbit template. I think, not tested this is all off the top of my head.

I attached an .txt file containing the info...

Thats for those who prefer to do this offline...

Is there anyway to modify this to make it do something like this:

Username
User Title
Rank (User Group)

But I only want the user title bold and the rank displayed if they are Mod, Super Mod, or Admin. Can this be converted to do this cleanly, and if so how?

[Scott MacVicar]

em yeah just change the postbit_moderator_icon template to

<b>$rank</b><br>

Wow... Dynamic

[Dark Odin]

That's not exactly what I want. I want the user title to be bold, not the rank.

in post bit find

$post[username]

and replace with

<b>$post[username]</b>
