Mod/Supermod/Admin Picture

[CeleronXL]

Could someone please make a hack that adds this image: to the right of the username of a mod/supermod/admin? This was one of the features I enjoyed from Ikonboard; it made it much easier to tell exactly who was a mod. I attempted to do this, but couldn't figure out exaclty how. This should be a very easy hack for an experience hacker as all you probably have to do is something like $ifusergroup=XX or some stuff like that. An example of what I want for the hack is attatched. You can see the team pic next to me, starcraftsector, the admin.

PHP Code:

        global $mod_cache;
        if(!$mod_cache[$post[userid]]) {
          if(ismoderator(0,"",$post[userid])) {
            eval("\$mod_cache[$post[userid]] = \"".gettemplate("moderator_icon")."\";");
          }
        }
        $mod_logo = $mod_cache[$post[userid]]; 


put that in functions.php above

PHP Code:

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


create a template called
moderator_icon
--------------
<img src="http://yourforums.com/mod_icon.gif">

then in your postbit template put $mod_logo after the username in the postbit template

I hope this worked for you, if you have a problem then just tell me.

[CeleronXL]

Uh... It didn't work. No errors or anything, but it just didn't work....

[CeleronXL]

Oops, NM, works perfectly. Thanks.

[Scott MacVicar]

Cool no problem

i think there is an easier way to do this.
in functions.php add:

PHP Code:

if (ismoderator(0,'',$post[userid])) {
  $post[usergroupicon]='<img border="0" src="{ imagesfolder }/'.$post[usergroupid].'.gif">';
} else {
  $post[usergroupicon]='';
} 


then add 5.gif, 6.gif and 7.gif in your images folder.
in your postbit, place $post[usergroupicon] where you want.

It wouldn't really be easier, for two reasons, say there is 25 posts per page and the same person posts 9 times then they're will be a query 9 times to check if he's a mod where you could get away with a temp cache system.

Though what you suggested is good.

PHP Code:

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


as the only code and create an icon for every usergroup, just make sure that some are either 0 x 0 pixels and others can be icons.

[Scott MacVicar]

Your not a newbie any more, you have a good grasp of the vBulletin layout and php functions.
