How do I do this?

[DrkFusion]

I want to make users have the name of Administrator, and be an Administrator on the Showgroups, and I also want there name to be bolded and italicized, but I do not want them to have cp access...

Please, and thankyou in advance.

[Xenon]

first step, give him the usertitle Administraor

open index.php
find

PHP Code:

if ($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 6 and $highlightadmin) {
          $username = "<b><i>$loggedin[username]</i></b>";
      } 


replace with

PHP Code:

if ($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 6 and $highlightadmin) {
          $username = "<b><i>$loggedin[username]</i></b>";
      } else if ($loggedin['userid'] == xx and $highlightadmin) {
          $username = "<b><i>$loggedin[username]</i></b>";
      } 


replace xx with userid of this user...

then open online.php
find

PHP Code:

if ($user['usergroupid'] == 6 and $highlightadmin) {
          $userinfo["$key"]['username'] = "<b><i>$user[username]</i></b>";
        } 


and replace with

PHP Code:

if ($user['usergroupid'] == 6 and $highlightadmin) {
          $userinfo["$key"]['username'] = "<b><i>$user[username]</i></b>";
        } else if($user['userid'] == xx and $highlightadmin) {
          $userinfo["$key"]['username'] = "<b><i>$user[username]</i></b>";
        } 


modifications to showgroups are a bit harder, because i'm, not really expirenced with JOIN querys, perhaps s.o. could help here

[Logician]

you can create a special usergroup called Site Admins (or smt. like this) via Admin CP, Add Usergroup and set "Viewable on Show Groups?" to "yes", "Can access control panel" to no and put your users into this group.

Then do what Xenon suggested so as to make them bold/italic in who's online..

I must say that was one of the most unusual request I have ever read here.. :knockedout:
