Glowing User Names · **Released**: 09-30-2003

I know that there are several hacks around for glowing user names but I could not find one that fitted my requirments which was all users had no glow unless selected.

Here is a very quick and easy to install hack that I knocked up this morning. Tested on vBulletin 2.3.0.

To install, this requires one file and one template edit, along with a custom profile field.

To use, users simply set the colour they require in their profile.

Please click "Install" if you use this.

I wonder if there is a way to make this option visible and editable only to certain usergroups. I have a group of premium members who are allowed to have this glow while the rest of the members can't. Since I've installed this hack I've used a thread in a hidden forum for the premium members so they can post their code and I set it up for them.

But there are many premium members and some of them change often or even propose 3 different codes they want to try one after the other. I was wondering if it could be possible for me to make the profile feild visible for them (so they can do it themselves) and editable but keep it hidden from the regular members. Or if you prefer keep it hidden from everyone but visible to the premium members.

Hope someone can help me!

Kruppa,

Would a dedicated page for them be of any use?

I am thinking of the lines that they could have the URL of that page and do it from there. If a non-Premium member tired, they'd be dumped back to the forum home page.

I suppose that would do the trick. Although I was thinking less overkill.

Like you gave me the code for making the glow hack invisible for a specific user based on the user id. What about making he profile feild for the glow code visible based on the group id? Is that even possible?

If not the dedicated page would be cool.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
