User Color Legend

Well, I go by and see ALOT of forums that have the HTML markup in there usergroup settings but noone can really tell what they mean cause it doesnt show it anywhere. So I was looking through the templates and was just trying different places to put a Color Legend. There are a BUNCH of ways to do this modification, if you want to get fancy with it, you please do so and post your results . Hope you have fun.

I also tried to follow the forum home modification rules to the "T" so all the instructions, ect are in the zip file to the left file. This modification is nothing, it is just html in the template, nothing big whatsoever.

This modofication should support all 3.0.X versions. I have not tested on the new betas, the only version I have tested on is 3.0.3.

Here is a LIVE DEMO of the hack down at the bottom by the Who is online box.

If anyone at all needs a screenshot just tell me, I will be happy to post one.

Thanks for your time and make sure if you change it, post your results for others =).

if i put in

PHP Code:

Open Template in Admin CP: FORUMHOME


-----------------Locate--------------

<div>$activeusers</div>

----------------Place ABOVE----------


<i>Legend:</i><font color="HTML MARKUP CODE OF USERGROUP HERE">[<b>USERGROUP</b>]</font>
Continue until all your colored usergroups are listed.......


As an option that I like, after listing all your usergroups and color codes, place a
<br>
<br>

After the code, that way it gives space between the currently active users :).

EXAMPLE:

CODE HERE...blah blah
<br>
<br> 


it will just have text everywhere, whats the actual code?

[Sleepyk]

ok so should it be

Open Template in Admin CP: FORUMHOME


-----------------Locate--------------

<div>$activeusers</div>

----------------Place ABOVE----------


<i>Legend:</i><font color="ff0000">[<b>Admins
</b>]</font>
<font color="ffffff">[<b>Super Mods
</b>]</font>
<font color="333333">[<b>Mods
</b>]</font>
<font color="ff0660">[<b>members
</b>]</font>
<font color="ffff00">[<b>Noob
</b>]</font>
<br>
<br>

yeah that was jus default stuff

ok hoping u still on
how i have color go everywhere else like users past 24 hrs, b-day, last 10 posts, etc?

[bigcurt]

Just move it around in that template FORUMHOME..and look for that, ect..its just simple HTML, hard to mess up just as long as you MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR TEMPLATE .

[Sleepyk]

[bigcurt]

Anyway I updated the instructions thanks to princeton for the VALID XHTML code.
