do another search and you'll find em

i found this one, Username Font Color Hack(in postbit)

which looks nice, BUT its for all members, and i only want mods and admins to ahve this ability

[Xenon]

just add an if-clause

PHP Code:

if(post[usergoupid]!=2) {....original code of the hack here ..... } 


[michealo]

thanks for yer help, but i coldnt get that too work

actually to make things easier, i just want to only allow this option once a certain post count it hit

would the command be?

if(post[postcount]!>=500) {....original code of the hack here ..... }

[Xenon]

my code should work, perhaps there is a problem with your integration...

also for posts counts:
if(post[posts]>=500) {....original code of the hack here ..... }

[michealo]

it should go in the postbit right?

before this line

<smallfont><font color="$post[field5]">$post[usertitle]</font>

i put it there and it just displays it just like another line

perhaps im putting it in wrong place, cause i dont want the members to even see the option in thier control panel is they have less than a certain number of posts

php-code you can just add in php-files

you have to edit functions.php

you have done so when you installed Username Font Color Hack.

so there add the code, not in the templates..

[michealo]

i understand what yer saying now, but i didnt use functions.php to allow coloring of titles, i used this. a custom profile field

make a custom profile field which can only be 7 character long for the input...

Call it Custom Title Color

In that field they can type the hex of the color they want the title to be...

then find out what profile field it is (can't remember how to do it but its not har)

then in ure postbit template find this bit:

$post[usertitle]

then change that to:

<font color="$post[fieldx]">$post[usertitle]</font>

instead of the "x" in "fieldx" insert the number of the profile field..

so basically, i want the custom profile field to not even show up for a member if he hasnt reached a certain post count

thanks for all yer help so far

ok, i see
open member.php
find:

PHP Code:

eval("\$customfields .= \"".gettemplate("register_customfields")."\";"); 


replace with:

PHP Code:

if($profilefieldname!=x || $bbuserinfo[posts]>yy) eval("\$customfields .= \"".gettemplate("register_customfields")."\";"); 


replace x with your profile id
yy with the postaamount needed to use that field
