How do I change the buddy and invisible symbol?

[domokun]

I was wondering, how do I change the buddy symbol (+) and the invisible symbol (*) that's displayed next to the username? I would prefer using a .gif.

As far as I remember it is built into the code, so you would need to edit the vb files in a number of places.

Untested, but in both the forumdisplay_loggedinuser and forumhome_loggedinuser templates find:

$loggedin[invisiblemark]$loggedin[buddymark]

And replace with the following:

<if condition="$loggedin[invisiblemark]"><img src="http://www.domain.com/forum/images/misc/whatever1.gif" alt="" border="0" /></if><if condition="$loggedin[buddymark]"><img src="http://www.domain.com/forum/images/misc/whatever2.gif" alt="" border="0" /></if>

I've only ever seen it generated by the function fetch_online_status() in functions_bigthree.php.

Look at that function (line 53 for me) - it should be very easy to change.

No need to change the function though.

I'd personally rather change one PHP file than 3-4 templates. You missed postbit_onlinestatus as well.

The postbit_onlinestatus template is for user_offline.gif, user_online.gif, and user_invisible.gif. Both buddymark and invisiblemark appear in only the forumdisplay_loggedinuser and forumhome_loggedinuser templates, at least on vB 3.6.0, and of course TIMTOWTDI.

Ah right - I just took a quick glance.
