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.

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

Is there a way to get it to display the Admin and Mods in a different color like the colored online users hack?

[Hwulex]

Yes, that's not too hard to do. You just need to alter the Admin/Mod lines like so:

PHP Code:

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


to

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) {
    $username = "<font color=FF0000>$bbuserinfo[username]<font>"; 


And so on

[Boofo]

Thank you very much. Looks great! BTW: Shouldn't the colors have a # before them? I found out it won't take the quotes for the font color but it accepted the number sign and worked without it too. (Shows you what I know about it, huh? :-) )

What about SUPERMODS???
This hacks only shows Mods and Admins different from the rest of the users, I´m I right?

[Hwulex]

Psico, you're right!
I completely forgot about SuperMods, probably because I don't use them. I'll go alter it now

The update does work, the line that needs to be added twice is:

PHP Code:

} elseif ($forumuser['usergroupid'] == 5) {
                $username = "<b><u>$forumuser[username]</u></b>"; 


Thats the only change that I can see and works for me.

NTLDR, that only for Super Mods, but i need glow too...
