Colored usernames within thread?

[ehjay]

I've seen the colored who's online hack, and it's additional colored buddylist hack, but I've searched but couldn't find a hack to allow for the usernames within a thread to be color coded as well, based on a similiar idea as the who's online hack.

1 color for admins, 1 for supermods, etc.

so instead of AJ.. you'd see AJ or something like that.

does this exist? if so, where? if not, i'd think it to be a hack someone could make.

have answered already to your PM

if it worked so, i'll post it into the small releases ^^

if not, like i've said in the pm tell me, i'll work on it

[ehjay]

the code you gave me I got to work, but I can't seem to implement this for multiple usergroups correctly.

any idea how i might set this up for the other user groups as well?

[Xenon]

humm, it should work, for all usergroups if it works for one....

sure you have implemented the other groups correctly?

[ehjay]

eh.. i think so.
what code would you use?

[Xenon]

hmm like this way:

PHP Code:

if ($post[usergroupid]==6) { 
$post[username]="<font color=red>".$post[username]."</font>"; 
} 
if ($post[usergroupid]==5 || $post[usergroupid]==7) { 
$post[username]="<font color=blue>".$post[username]."</font>"; 
} 
if ($post[usergroupid]==9) { 
$post[username]="<font color=gray>".$post[username]."</font>"; 
} 


and so on for all of your usergroups you want to change the color.
just directly below if($post[userid]!=0) {
...

[ehjay]

see when i try to run that, it gives me a parse error on that first line.

but if i try it with just an if statement, converting admin users to red, it'll work.. ?

[Xenon]

hmm, i have tested it now on my board, and all works perfect

i just copied the lines i have written directliy after

PHP Code:

if ($post[userid]!=0) { 


and there is no parse error...

look at the attached screeny

can you please post 5 lines before and after the lines i have said you should add?

[ehjay]

humm, still won't work..

before:

PHP Code:

 if (!$forum[allowicons] or $post[iconid]==0) {
        if ($showdeficon) {
            $post[icon]='<img src="{imagesfolder}/icons/icon1.gif" border="0" alt="">';
        }
    } else {
        /*
        unset ($iconwidth);
        unset($iconheight);
        $imginfo=@getimagesize($post[iconpath]);
        if ($imginfo[2]==1 or $imginfo[2]==2) { // We have a .gif or .jpg
        $iconwidth = "width=\"$imginfo[0]\"";
        $iconheight = "height=\"$imginfo[1]\"";
        }
        */
        $post[icon]="<img src=\"$post[iconpath]\" alt=\"$post[icontitle]\" border=\"0\">";
    } 


after:

PHP Code:

 unset($onlinestatus);
        if ($post['lastactivity'] > $datecut and !$post['invisible'] and $post['lastvisit'] != $post['lastactivity']) {
            eval("\$onlinestatus = \"".gettemplate("postbit_online")."\";");
        } else {
            eval("\$onlinestatus = \"".gettemplate("postbit_offline")."\";");
        } 


[Xenon]

hmm, its exactly the same as my lines:

PHP Code:

    if (!$forum[allowicons] or $post[iconid]==0) {
        if ($showdeficon) {
            $post[icon]='<img src="{imagesfolder}/icons/icon1.gif" border="0" alt="">';
        }
    } else {
        /*
        unset ($iconwidth);
        unset($iconheight);
        $imginfo=@getimagesize($post[iconpath]);
        if ($imginfo[2]==1 or $imginfo[2]==2) { // We have a .gif or .jpg
        $iconwidth = "width=\"$imginfo[0]\"";
        $iconheight = "height=\"$imginfo[1]\"";
        }
        */
        $post[icon]="<img src=\"$post[iconpath]\" alt=\"$post[icontitle]\" border=\"0\">";
    }

    if ($post[userid]!=0) {
    
if ($post[usergroupid]==6) { 
$post[username]="<font color=red>".$post[username]."</font>"; 
} 
if ($post[usergroupid]==5 || $post[usergroupid]==7) { 
$post[username]="<font color=blue>".$post[username]."</font>"; 
} 
if ($post[usergroupid]==9) { 
$post[username]="<font color=gray>".$post[username]."</font>"; 
}
        unset($onlinestatus);
        if ($post['lastactivity'] > $datecut and !$post['invisible'] and $post['lastvisit'] != $post['lastactivity']) {
            eval("\$onlinestatus = \"".gettemplate("postbit_online")."\";");
        } else {
            eval("\$onlinestatus = \"".gettemplate("postbit_offline")."\";");
        } 


this are the lines, where the hack is integrated....

can you please post also the exact errormessage?
