What does this modification do?
This modification allows users to specify their 'own' HTMLwhich surrounds their username. It is similar to that which is used for the Usergroup HTML Markup, however this modification is more restrictive. (Note: Markup is only applied in cases where the Usergroup Markup is typically applied).

Features:

• Users can choose:
  • Italics
  • Bold
  • SmallCaps
  • Text Decoration
    • Underline
    • Overline
    • StrikeThrough
  • Font Color
  • Background Color
  • Font Family/Face
• Admins can choose to:
  • Global Enable/Disable
  • Ban Certain Users
  • Ban Certain Font Colors
  • Enable/Disable each Option globally
  • Enable/Disable each Option Per Usergroup
  • Choose whether User HTML Markup overrides Usergroup HTML Markup

To install:

1. Upload Files
   • Upload functions_op_user_html_markup.php to the '/includes/' directory of your forum
   • Upload bitfield_op_user_html_markup.xml to the '/includes/xml/' directory of your forum
2. Import Product
   • Import the product as normal through the AdminCP. AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products
3. Accessing Product
   • To use this product the user can find the options listed on the UserCP > Edit Options page.

Troubleshooting & Common Problems

• If you forget to upload the files before importing the product, simply upload the files and then visit the AdminCP > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager page. (This is required to rebuild the bitfield cache after uploading a file). This only needs to be done if you do not upload the files before the import.

Usergroup Markup doesn't normally appear in those places, so this won't happen unfortunately. (I may release another modification which fetches Usergroup Markup in these places which you could use in conjuction with this modification. However it is still in planning stages)

Only XML was changed so you just need to [Add/Import Product] again. Make sure "Allow Overwrite" is set to Yes

Hey, this is a great mod. I've installed it and I love it. Nice work, man.

I wanna make a suggestion that you can maybe bat around. I think a good idea for a hack like this is to give an option where users can edit the HTML markup of their name in a little text input form. For examle: "<font color="blue">Bl</font><font color="red">ah</font>".

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Doing that creates a security risk.

As previously stated, doing so would make your board less secure. For this reason, I have no plans (to ever) introduce the option of a HTML input box in which users can add whatever they want. (This is the reason there are check boxes e.t.c., to restrict what users can input).
