Usergroup Legend with Links To FAQ · **Released**: 12-23-2015

Overview:

This product allows you to display a legend of selected usergroups in your WGO block, directly below the list of users who have visited the site recently. You may link each usergroup name to an FAQ item if you have such items defined to describe certain usergroups. You may choose to strip the trailing "s" from the usergroup names in case the usergroup names are plural, but you want the singular to show in the legend. You may choose to simply delimit the list with commas, or choose one from 10 special characters, or enter you own custom character(s). You may choose the size of the delimiter as a percentage of the default font-size. You may assign any custom CSS to the legend's usergroup list.

Updates:

Version 1.1:

Added setting for the control of the delimiter CSS.

Version 1.2:

Legend is only visible for users that can either see who is online or can see who has visited.

Version 1.2.1:

Fixed bug with diamond delimiter.

Version 1.3:

Added setting to allow for image as custom delimiter.

Compatibility:

Tested and working on VB 4.2.x and should work on all 4.x versions of vBulletin.

What does your complete "FORUMHOME" template have?

Snowhog · #33 12-31-2016, 12:18 AM

I think I "see" my problem.

My modification placed my legend below Currently Active Users. I keep Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours: minimized, so I wouldn't have seen your legend. << Update: Not true. I just didn't notice the new 'section'. ;/

If I want your legend to show in place of mine; below Currently Active Users; what change to the .xml would I have to make?

Snowhog · #34 12-31-2016, 12:33 AM

Okay, reloaded the MOD. Expanding Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours: now shows the Usergroup Legend, but doesn't show anything but the Legend Delimiter I selected (Diamond).

Doh!! What a dumb a I am! Usergroup List has to be populated!!

MarkFL · #37 12-31-2016, 09:12 AM

Glad you got it sorted out!

Snowhog · #38 01-01-2017, 03:49 PM

How do you add a Custom Delimiter? I tried pointing to a .png image I have in /images, but that doesn't work; it results in the path being displayed in the legend and not the image. Does this 'option' use ASCII values only, or??

MarkFL · #39 01-01-2017, 04:34 PM

Yes, it's set up to use characters, not images.

Snowhog · #40 01-01-2017, 06:45 PM

Okay. Thank you.

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