Custom VIP username color

[TC-Jamech]

Hi everyone,
So I've searched the forums for some sort of custom vip, but no joy. I managed to get hold of a custom VIP script however what gives anyone within the VIP group to change their user rank colour . How do I go about making this possible for usernames too?

This is the script I used for my usergroup (placed in postbit_legacy):

<if condition="is_member_of($post, 14)">
<div style="width: 125px; height: 24px; background: $post[field9]; margin-top: 1px"><img src="customvip.png" style="margin-top: -1px;" /></div>
</if>

And this is the current username field:

<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
                    <if condition="$show['profile']">
                    <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>

You would need to make changes in the memberaction_dropdown template, as that is where the posters username is pulled from.

in usergroup manager edit your vip group and in the Username HTML Markup
first box put

<span style="color:yellow;font-weight:bold;text-shadow: 1px 1px 10px yellow;">

2nd box put

</span>

change the yellow to the colour you want

not sure if this is the type of thing you are looking for

No it isn't.

Oooops, in that case, you need to mess around with the following, in the postbit or postbit_legacy template.

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

Update;

I've managed to get the username colour working on postbit, however, it isn't on the forum home.. Any idea?

Postbit code:

<if condition="$show['profile']">
                    <a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]" <if condition="is_member_of($post, 27)">style="color:$post[field9]"</if>>$post[musername]</a>
                    <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
                    <else />
                    $post[musername]
                    </if>

forumhome template:

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers]">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2"><a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_whos_online]" border="0" /></a></td>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%">
			<div class="smallfont">
				<div style="white-space: nowrap"><phrase 1="$recordusers" 2="$recorddate" 3="$recordtime">$vbphrase[most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z]</phrase></div>
				<div>$activeusers</div>
			</div>
		</td></if>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- end logged-in users -->

They are Usergroup colours that show in the forumhome, the usergroup colours are set in the usergroup manager for each usergroup.

Yeah I don't think you can do that easily, as the $post variable is only available in the postbit template.

Again, I want it so that it's customized to what the user has set it to through the profile field. Not to what I've set it to through the usergroup manager.
