Stack Username markup from usergroups?

[DragonBlade]

In order to "stack" the HTML markups for User Groups, you need to do the following:

1. Create a new TINYINT(1) field on your usergroup table
2. Add the following plugin for the "fetch_musername" hook:
   PHP Code:

   $gids = explode(',', $user['membergroupids']);
foreach ($gids AS $gid)
{
  $info = $vbulletin->db->query_first(sprintf("SELECT stack_markup FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup WHERE usergroupid='%s'", $vbulletin->db->escape_string($gid)));
  if ($info['stack_markup'] == '1')
  {
    $user['musername'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$gid"]['opentag'] . $user['musername'] . $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$gid"]['closetag'];
  }
} 

3. For the "admin_usergroup_edit" hook, add the following plugin (so you can change the value via AdminCP and not have to do it manually in your SQL)
   PHP Code:

   print_table_header('Stack HTML Markup?');
print_yes_no_row('Would you like to stack the Usergroup markup for this group?', 'usergroup[stack_markup]', $usergroup['stack_markup']);
print_table_break(); 

   NOTE: Change stack_markup to whatever you named the table field in Step 1.

For example, if a user was part of the "Items -- Bold", "Items -- Italic", and "Items -- Color: red" usergroups, can I combine those markups?

Not with the default vbulletin system. That would take some interesting coding to do.

Ah! I think I finally understand this hook system!

All I have to do is write the XML stuff like described here.

Then all I have to do is write the code in the CDATA tag?

Like my code could be something like this:

PHP Code:

$gids = explode(',', $user['membergroupids']);
foreach ($gids AS $gid)
{
  if is_stacked_display_usergroup($gid)
  {
    $user['musername'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$gid"]['opentag'] . $user['musername'] . $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$gid"]['closetag'];
  }
} 


Then all I have to do is write the "is_stacked_usergroup()" function and maybe add a field to the membergroups table or something?

Is that really just how simple it is? :O

One more question, though.

How would I go about modding the AdminCP so that I can have a Yes/No radio button or a checkbox or something when adding/altering usergroups?

I've been looking at this thread, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for. O.o

Oh, I see now! I can just make a plugin for the admin_usergroup_edit hook!

I understand now. :3 Yes yes yes...
