Profile Enhancements - User Name Style: Bold & Glow (Optional)

This is my first ever template modification, this works for any versions of 3.6.x vBulletin versions.

Please refer to this thread for a glowing usertitle:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=168785

Description: This will give users an option in their profile to bold & glow there usernames.


Step 1 - Bold

Create a new profile field through your AdminCP.

Multiple Selection Textbox

Title: Username Bold

Description: Here you can bold your username if you would like to make it stand out more.

Limit Selection: 1

Items Per Line: 0

Fields: 1 field called Bold Username (one option for users to check if they want).

Profile Field Type: Multiple-Selection Checkbox

Field Required: No

Field Editable by User: Yes

Private Field: No

Field Searchable on Members List: No

Show on Members List: No

Click Save.

Step Two

Edit the template you use, either Posbit Legacy or Postbit.
Find (there will be two, do this to the first one):

PHP Code:

$post[musername] 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[fieldx]">
    <span style="font-weight: bold; $post[fieldx]">
        $post[username]</span><else />
$post[musername]
</if></a> 


Step Three

In the same template, find the second:

PHP Code:

$post[musername] 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[fieldx]">
    <span style="font-weight: bold; $post[fieldx]">
        $post[username]</span><else />$post[musername][/if] 


Replace the X (on fieldx) with your bold profile field. You're done.

Step One - Glow

Create a new profile field through your AdminCP.

Single Line Text Box

Title: Username Glow

Description: Here you can glow your username if you would like to make it stand out more.

Field Required: No

Field Editable by User: Yes

Private Field: No

Field Searchable on Members List: No

Show on Members List: No

The rest is up to you.

Click Save.

Step Two

Find in your Postbit or Postbit Legacy template:

PHP Code:

$post[musername] 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[fieldx]"> 
                <div style="width:100%;filter:glow(color=$post[fieldx],strength=6)">$post[username]</div> <else />$post[musername]</if> 


Step Three

Same template, find second:

PHP Code:

$post[musername] 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[fieldx]"> 
                <div style="width:100%;filter:glow(color=$post[fieldx],strength=6)">$post[username]</div> <else />$post[musername]</if> 


Make sure you replace the x's with your Glow field number.


You're done, any problems, just tell me please. Remember to mark Installed if you use and like it.
