Miscellaneous Hacks - Simple Staff Shield

Simple Staff Shield
<:-----------------------:>

Make your staff stand out!
Simple Staff Shield adds a small 16x16 golden shield to your staff's postbit.
Simple Staff Shield helps bring authority to you and your staff like a shield does to a real life police officer!

For Postbit Legacy (vertical) Users:

Open Template:

postbit_legacy

Find:

<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>

Replace with:

<if condition="is_member_of($post, 5) OR is_member_of($post, 6)"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a></td><td valign="middle"><img src="images/icons/shield.png" alt="User is a ##YOUR FORUM## Moderator" border="0" /></td></tr></table><else /><a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a></if>

For Postbit (horizontal) Users:

Open Template:

postbit

Find:

<if condition="$show['infractionlink']"><a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/infraction.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_infraction_for_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a> &nbsp;</if>

Add BEFORE:

            <if condition="is_member_of($post, 5) OR is_member_of($post, 6)"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/icons/shield.png" alt="User is a ##YOUR FORUM## Moderator" border="0" /> &nbsp;</if>

Additional Instructions:

• Upload the "shield.png" icon to your images/icons folder
• Change ##YOUR FORUM## to your forum's name. (only one instance per postbit)

FAQ's:

• How can I add/remove groups that this gets assigned to?
  • In:

    <if condition="is_member_of($post, 5) OR is_member_of($post, 6)">

    add or remove the

    OR is_member_of($post, X)

    where X is the usergroup number.

Things to Note:

The current usergroups this is assigned to are 5 and 6 which are Super Moderators and Administrators. You can add or remove usergroups with the instructions above.

Although I included the shield in the first post, it is small against the screenshots, so in case anyone misses it I will include it again here.

awesome, thanks

I amended this slightly to separate the icon from the javascript that opens the drop-down menu when you click on a username, and to make the icon link to my staff page (staff.php). I also added a second icon for site supporters, this time linking to the subscriptions page (payments.php). There's a not-condition included because I only want one icon to display but you could remove this. Here is the code I used, where 28 is my usergroup for subscribers and the icons were uploaded to my images/misc folder:

<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
				<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
				<else />
				$post[musername]
				</if>
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 5,6,7)"><a href="staff.php"><img src="images/misc/shield.png" alt="Staff member" border="0" /></a></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 28) AND !is_member_of($post, 5,6,7)"><a href="payments.php"><img src="images/misc/award_star_gold_3.png" alt="Site supporter" border="0" /></a></if>
			</div>

I hope this is useful.

You're right - sorry about that. I'll see if I can fix the code.

I played around with this idea and decided to use several icons for various functions/features and to place them all in a box below the avatar. Here's the code, where the icons are all from the famfamfam silk collection and the usergroup numbers may differ from yours. I also have a "postinfo" class to box the icons and I've moved a lot of the default or additional postbit information into the icons area, such as my photoplog images, blogs, staff page and subscriptions. Hopefully it makes sense.

<div class="postinfo" align="left" valign="middle">Info:&nbsp;
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 5,6,7)"><a href="staff.php"><img src="images/misc/usercp_icons/shield.png" alt="Staff member" border="0" /></a></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 2,5,6,7)"><if condition="$show['lastactivity']"><img src="images/misc/usercp_icons/user_active.png" alt="Active member - $vbphrase[last_activity]: $post[lastactivitydate] at $post[lastactivitytime]" border="0" /></if></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 29)"><if condition="$show['lastactivity']"><img src="images/misc/usercp_icons/user_inactive.png" alt="Inactive member - $vbphrase[last_activity]: $post[lastactivitydate] at $post[lastactivitytime]" border="0" /></if></if>
