Colored name in Navbar



Please mark as "Installed (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=166058)" if you use this modification, thanks !



This is my first "release" here, and it's pretty much simple :P

This is based on the usergroup's Username HTML Markup, so you MUST have something set, for this to display anything.

How to do it:

Ok, go to your Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Navbar
Find:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

And replace it with:


Code:

Enjoy :)

[HuggyCT2]

Is it me or is the part your changing the same as the part your adding???

[Magnumutz]

Almost dude...
$bbuserinfo[username] displays only the username, while $bbuserinfo[musername] displays the color that is set in the usergroup settings.

Hmm Thank You :))

[rolandogomez]

So where do you set the color in the user group permissions? Thanks, rg.

[Magnumutz]

AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Select the desired usergroup -> Edit usergroup. And you'll find the "Username HTML Markup" field... click the small "?" button for more help.

[Magnumutz]

Umm... search the navbar for:

[rolandogomez]

How do you do a legend so users can know what color belongs to what? thanks, rg.

[Magnumutz]

Yeah, that can be done, but it'll take SOME modification to templates...
Though i'll try and make my first product for that.

[Tolas]

Quick & Easy, Thanks!

[Aclikyano]

[Loco.M]

/me clicks install

[Magnumutz]

I know you installed it, i've seen it in action :D

[Magnumutz]

Added Installation Instructions file.

[JetHaCkR]

Quite Simple Mod..
But Useful

[trilogy33]

Done. Easy. Thank you :)

[Charlie98902]

As small as the line of code is I am surprised this isn't done with the default vBulletin.

[carrlos]

Thanks!!!

[MadK]

This was already done by someone else in the past:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124996

But... nice re-release nevertheless. :)

[LasT-ChaNcE]

Would it be possible to do something like this with the "Today's Birthdays" box? The same trick doesn't seem to work, does anyone know another way?

[Magnumutz]

Well... it might have different hooks there or phrases or w/e it uses.

[LasT-ChaNcE]

Yeah, it's a bit different:

Anyone have any ideas how to connect this to the usergroup colors?

[Captain Tycoon]

Works Great! Installed and Marked!

[term_]

Thanks guy.

I installed and clicked the install button.;)

[GraNdMaStEr-B]

I cant seem to find "navbar" in my edit templates any help would be apprec please?

[Magnumutz]

First of all, login to your AdminCP. Then, on the left menu, you'll see the "Styles & Templates" expandable menu, click on it until it expands, then select "Style Manager".
Now you will see all your installed styles. Choose the one to edit and on it's right side, there's a drop-down menu, where you have to choose "Edit Templates".
On the new page that appears, almost on the center of it, you'll find some selectable templates, scroll down to "Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates", now you'll see the same page but with new templates available for you to click on, select "navbar"... that's the one you need to edit.

[Thomas Dukic]

Thanks ! Installed.

[GraNdMaStEr-B]

Thank you for the speedy help!
Installed!

[g0dfather1984]

Thank you.

[tillcat5]

[Magnumutz]

I'll have to install it and see what code it uses, but i'll do this in the days to follow cuz i'm pretty busy with tomorrow's exam.

[Loco.M]

thanks Magnumutz :)

[Magnumutz]

I know, i've seen it :D

[star88]

[BoYagoob]

Installed, thanks ..

[students_forum]

cool

[Bio-Con]

thanx..its a little different for vb 3.7.3....instead of it being in navbar..its in the header template..so search for the first string there and replace..

[Magnumutz]

That's probably cuz your using a modified style ;)
On default and MOST skins, it's in the navbar.

[djlotus]

nice installed

[djrapid.com]

some other modifications is overtaking this mod.
Same with me, when installed it just removed the whole of the top line, i have about three other mods in that section, they must be stopping it

[Magnumutz]

Yeah, that might.
What mods are you using?

[iFuzo]

Great Mod

Works well for me and my forum

<3 Liam...

[Fynnon]

but the custom ranks are not colored
how to make it work VIP`s or Elite Members ?

Thank You!

[Magnumutz]

Well, edit the desired usergroups and at the "Username HTML Markup" box, enter whatever colors and HTML you want.

[sjb]

thanku

[denman75]

....nvm
my mistake

[yhdf]

Thanks for this wonderful addition

[crackers]

Nice, thanks.

Could you write how to corolize postusernames in threads listing, please?

[Magnumutz]

That cannot be done without file edits yet...
And there's a product that does that for you.
You can find that here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=199109
However, it adds a lot of queries.

[crackers]

Unfortunately linked by you mod generates big load (as most of Hasann's mods...).

[Magnumutz]

I did say that in my post...

[crackers]

You say that this mod adds a lot of queries but you didn't say that this mod can overload every server ;) Maybe someone optimize this mod by deleting unnecessary queries?

[Magnumutz]

Well, adding a lot of queries MAY lead to server overloading...
For example, i've got my forum on a VPS, it can handle all the queries.
But a shared host for example, might not.
Hasann said he will try and optimize it.

[algor65]

The best things are also the most simple ones!!!
Thanks. It works and it is great!!!
