glow works but I do not have this plugin you have to be able to edit it to make usergroups have diff glows set from cp & make users not be able to pick glow.

Hmmm you should have it in your plugin manager, not your products. It should be there as a plug in, did you install it correctly?

[xxshatteredsoul]

Yes sir installed it correctly. I can put in a hex color in my profile options and it shows up in posts working fine. Not in the plugin manager though. There must be something I missed?

Yeah, you must of missed something because it is definetely in the Plugin Manager. You could always edit the product with the usergroups then re-upload the product in your product manager.

I did not add the bold step otherwise did all the rest I don't see how that would make anything show up in the plugin either way? There isn't even a code I add with this in it

//User Name Glow Hack by Stitch @ aotrangmongmo.com/chutgidenho.com 
                // begin glowing users

There must be more to this addon what am I missing? I did the steps I quoted above except i did not add the bold step 1. Please help i want to be able to set glows for usergroups.

How? I don't get how there is supposed to be plugins/products when you don't supply any of those files. All I do is a few template edits and add a text box. Confused...

Hey you are getting my mod and that other mod confused with the same mod... My mod only involves template edits, no products, uploads or plugins. That other guys mod (glowing usernames) that I posted the link to has a product, plugins and other things I think. I know it has a plug in because I used it awhile ago on my forum. You don't upload or import the plugin, the plugin should automatically be there once you have imported the product.

[xxshatteredsoul]

Ahh well I only did your hack above I didn't use the other one which is why i'm not getting any plugins to show up. Can I do the usergroup glow with your mod or do I have to install the other one? If so can you link me to it and do I have to uninstall your hack?

This mod doesn't use usergroup settings, but this mod does:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...color+username

^The difference between my mod and his mod, is that users (registered, admins, mods and super mods) can choose a glow color of their choice for their username if they wish to have a glowing username through their user CP (my mod). His mod only sets a glow color of the admins choice (in the plugin manager) for each usergroup, which you can then delete usergroups or add in usergroups if you wish.

You don't have to uninstall my mod if you don't want to because it doesn't interfere with his mod whatsoever. But if you were looking for certain usergroups to glow a certain color, then that is his mod.

Hope that helped man:up:

[xxshatteredsoul]

That mod has a txt file that does the same thing as your mod? lol i am being so difficult

[TCE Killa]

Lol, sorry about that, I gave you the complete wrong link, this is the link for that other mod:
