Usergroup Badge in memberinfo

[RichieBoy67]

I am looking for a simple plug that will add a usergroup badge in the member info template that is separate from the avatar and profile, etc.

For example, giving all VIP users a big badge that shows up in the memberinfo template using postbit_legacy.

Thanks,
Rich

PS - I am sure I can write the conditionals and image code but I need help with the plug in part.

i know I can probably use the ranks system but I am looking for something I can customize a bit more.

Is the plugin/mod for only 1 usergroup?

Good question, It would be good to be able to add more but I think I have to think on this a little more.

Thanks for reply

Richie, why not just add something like this to your template.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, X)"><img src="PATH/TO/IMAGE.EXT" alt="$post[username] is VIP member" /></vb:if>

X is the usergroup and PATH/TO/IMAGE.EXT is where you would set the image

Would it not be:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X)"><img src="PATH/TO/IMAGE.EXT" alt="$post[username] is VIP member" /></vb:if>

As "$post" is to find out if the poster is in a certain usergroup.

But, if you use either of them, will it not only be the person browsing the forum that will see/not see the badge because if someone is in the VIP group, and someone not VIP is browsing their page, they will not see the badge....

No, the way I wrote it, it will show up in the posters postbit if they are a member of X.

And any user looking at a post from anyone in X will see the image.

So if I am a member of Y, and you are a member of X, when I look at one of your posts, I will see the image, as will you or anyone else.

Sorry, Have been busy.

Yeah, I already use the conditionals but was looking to do a plug in to make it easier for clients.

I have a couple things intended that do not really work in the standard system such as placement and perhaps more variable for ranking badges but for now I am looking for mainly the plug in that will place the badges in the memberinfo template but for now just the plug in.

I am trying to learn better how to do this with the plug in system. I really need to learn how to write these plug ins. I have a very hard time with getting them to work with custom themes.

Thanks guys for the help and everything,
Rich

By memberinfo you mean in the postbit correct?

I think he means in the members profile in the "About me" section. Hence why I mentioned about using a different conditional the $post.

Well in the op, he also mentions postbit_legacy, so that is why I asked for clarification.
