Staff Icon in Postbit

Fully tested on vb 3.0.4, should work on 3.0.5
Staff Icon in Postbit
--------------------------------------
by AnhTuanCool

What this hack does? Basically, this hack adds a small icon in postbit below the avatar for staff(selected usergroup) with alt as their usergroup title. See attachment for detail.

NOTE: If you want a different icon for your forum then just request it right here, otherwise you can use your own staff icon. When requesting please remember to leave your forum url and text you want to be on the icon. I'm not very free so just request and if I could then I will design it for ya as soon as I can. Thanks,

Update:
I've attached the source file and the font of the staff icon so you guys can make your own easier than from scratch. Have fun


Click INSTALL if you find this hack userful, thanks

Make a new custom profile field with Single-Selection Radio Buttons as field type.
It will display an option in Edit Option section in UserCP(take a look at the attachment) and $post[field5](5 as your field id) with contain the user's value...if you want it more detail, just ask

All I did was added user ranks. As stated above with a simple template mod you can just add a single line text, use HTML, put the phrase in your template and viola!

Not hard to do - create separate icons, and separate templates for each group - here, we'll have admins, mods, and other staff:

In functions_showthread.php, add the following instead of just what's in the instructions:

PHP Code:

// Icon Staff Hack by AnhTuanCool
        // modified by bkaul for multiple icons
        // get icon staff represent img and titles
        $adminusergroupids = array('6');
        $modusergroupids = array('5','7');
        $staffusergroupids = array('30'); // your array of staff usergroupid
        if (in_array($post['usergroupid'], $adminusergroupids))
        {
           eval('$post[\'iconstaff\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_iconadmin'). '";');
        }
        else
        {
            if (in_array($post['usergroupid'], $modusergroupids))
            {
               eval('$post[\'iconstaff\'] .= "' .fetch_template('postbit_iconmod') . '";');
            }
            else
            {
               if (in_array($post['usergroupid'],$staffusergroupids))
                {
                   eval('$post[\'iconstaff\'] .= "'. fetch_template('postbit_iconstaff') . '";');
                }
            }
        } 


Template postbit_iconadmin:

<div><img src="images/ranks/iconadmin.jpg" alt="$post[usergrouptitle]" border="0"></div>

Template postbit_iconmod:

<div><img src="images/ranks/iconmod.jpg" alt="$post[usergrouptitle]" border="0"></div>

Template postbit_iconstaff:

<div><img src="images/ranks/iconstaff.jpg" alt="$post[usergrouptitle]" border="0"></div>

Where the files iconadmin.jpg iconmod.jpg and iconstaff.jpg are thedesired icons for those groups, and are in the images/ranks directory.

Replace '30' with whatever number (or numbers) identify the usergroupsyou want as "staff" - obviously, this is a scalable change: create asmany or as few icon/template pairs as you'd like, and set up the ifstatement in the php file to match.

The icons I'm using in that modification, for reference:





(Actually this one's currently not assigned to any real groups right now)
