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 =).

I use both I.E. and Firefox and it works in IE no problems, but not Firefox. And I'm having Firefox users on my site saying some can view it and others can not.

I thought maybe it was a setting in Firefox somewhere, but I've yet to discover it if it is. I'll keep trying some different things, but if anyone encountered this and knows something, please pass along some information if possible.

Thanks.

yeah, i actually opened your site in firefox and it did work fine in yours. i don't know what setting i could have that's keeping others from seeing it on my site.

open up http://www.xboxliveleagues.com/forums/index.php in firefox and see if you see the user legend colored along with the hyperlink user names color coded. it works perfectly in IE, but no go in firefox for me and several members.... i'm lost.

you're also using version 3.0.9 of vbulletin whereas i'm using 3.0.7 , although, i don't know that it's a vb version issue.

it looks fine to me in firefox... clear your cookies maybe.

I no that they have this on phpNUKE. you might be able to do this from the usergroup editor. And you would have to add it in the legend code again if you did figure it out.

To italks
You have to edit the html markup in adminCP in the usergroup editor page. you type in the same thing that you typed in on the legend almost, you type in [*font color=red] without the * in the first block and [*/font] in the other block. That is how you make the usergroup a different color. If that was what you were looking for.

Yes, it should work fine in ALL web browsers .

with firefox, you must can't specify the actual hex code for the colors you must enter the colors as such: <font color="red"> </font>

I changed over from the hex code to just the quoted names and it worked like a charm.

I can't view color in firefox nor IE. I can't get it to display on my portal, but I thought for sure I could in forums. All it shows is the legend colors.
Here is my code in forumhome

<em>Legend:</em><strong style="color:blue">[Administrator]</strong>
				<strong style="color:cyan">[Moderator]</strong>
				<strong style="color:yellow">[Super Moderator]</strong>
				<strong style="color:black">[Member]</strong>
				<div>$activeusers</div>
			</div>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>

The code you have in the Forumhome template is simply for the legend. To change the colors of the usernames logged in on your site, you'll have to go into usergroup settings from within the admin cp.

Go into usergroups. Then go into usergroup manager. Then do an edit usergroup for each usergroup.

Choose Username HTML Markup.

Insert something like <font color="black"> in the first box, then close it off with </font> in the second box. (Obviously replace "black" with whatever color you want for that usergroup, etc...)

That should do the trick for you.
