Moderator Icon on postbit

This is a hack to show a small icon next to usernames on a post, when you mouse over you will also get told what rank they are, Admin, Super Mod or Moderator.

Add the following template
postbit_moderator_icon

<img src="{imagesfolder}/mod.gif" alt="$rank">

save the template

Edit the postbit template and place $mod_logo somewhere on it, i chose next to the username.

open up functions.php

look for

PHP Code:

        // do posts from ignored users
        if (!$ignore[$post[userid]]) { 

ABOVE it put

PHP Code:

        switch($post['usergroupid']) {
          case "6";
          $rank = "Administrator";
          eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
          break;

          case "5";
          $rank = "Super Moderator";
          eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
          break;

          case "7";
          $rank = "Moderator";
          eval("\$mod_logo = \"".gettemplate("postbit_moderator_icon")."\";");
          break;

          default:
          $mod_logo = "";
          break;
        } 

save and upload functions.php

The hack will now work, but if you want to save on the extra query to the database to get the template.

Open showthread.php and add

PHP Code:

,postbit_moderator_icon 

to the end of $templatesused you will have to do this twice.

attached is the mod logo i used

great hack... how bout doin the same for all staff usergroups ... wud be a great addition...

[Scott MacVicar]

If you plan to do it for all staff usergroups it means doing some queries on the database. I'll lookin into it though.

[TECK]

for usergroups, do this:
in functions.php add:

PHP Code:

$post[usergroupicon]='<img border="0" src="{ imagesfolder }/usergroup'.$post[usergroupid].'.gif">' 

then add usergroup1.gif to usergroup7.gif in your images folder.
in your postbit, place $post[usergroupicon] where you want.

As requsted by me a long time ago. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37559

Edit: Wow, this version seems to be much nicer on the database. The other one had about 60-80 queries on the showthread. Now they're way back down.

[Scott MacVicar]

doesn't have any queries :P

[CeleronXL]

Did the other one have a lot? Because it went down from the 60-80 to 30-40.
