Usergroup Legend on Forumhome for vB 4
Version 1.1.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will show the user groups you have available on your site in a legend on the forumhome. It will also check to see if the 'Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online' product is installed and enabled. If found, "Spiders" will be added to the end of the Legend.

Credits:
Thanks to LifesGreatestGift for the CSS and style variable help.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vBulletin 4.1.2
Version 1.0.1 --Fixed issue with there not being enough space between the legend and activeusers when the legend was placed above activeusers. Also switched from p tags to spans tags to make it 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant. The centered legends are now centered on the full width of the wgo box, sans the left margin.
Version 1.0.2 --Spider Display Font Color is now set by the style variable setting for the spider color in the 'Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online' v1.0.6 mod, if it is installed.
Version 1.0.3 --Removed Enable/Disable setting and added "Do not show Usergroup Legend" as the first option in the "Usergroup Legend on Forumhome Location" setting.
Version 1.0.4 --Fixed full line break spacing.
Version 1.0.5 --Changed the hook to avoid conflicting with Paul M's mods.
Version 1.0.6 --Added 3 more location settings (Above activeusers centered with 1/2 and full line breaks).
Version 1.0.7 --Added Usergroup Separator setting. You can now choose from 10 different separators to show between the usergroups.
Version 1.0.8 --Added 2 more separators to the separator setting, for a total of 12. (vertical bar and horizontal ellipsis = three dot leader)
Version 1.0.9 --Fixed legend from being pushed too far left if the line was too long. Added setting for usergroups allowed to view the legend. Removed "Do not show Usergroup Legend" as the first option in the "Usergroup Legend on Forumhome Location" setting. Added setting to show "Spiders" at the end of the legend. Added setting to show Spider Image as a separator before "Spiders" in the legend.
Version 1.1.0 --Added style variable to change the color of the legend separator. Rewrote code to add CSS instead of coding it all inline.
Version 1.1.1 --Fixed CSS as it was showing the usergroups stacked in IE. Also added a phrase for the word "Spiders".

Installation Overview:
-----------------------------------------------------
1 Product XML (2 Plugins, 24 phrases, 1 CSS Template, 6 settings and 1 Style Variable)

Installation Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugins & Products'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the 'product-boofo_legend.xml' file on your computer

2. Go to your Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> 'Usergroup Legend on Forumhome' and set the following options:
Usergroup Legend on Forumhome Display Order: Enter the usergroupids in the order you want them to display. (Default is '6,5,7,2')
Usergroup Legend on Forumhome Location: Choose the location you want the Usergroup Legend on Forumhome to show up in. (Default is 'Below activeusers with 1/2 line break (centered)')
Usergroup Legend on Forumhome Separator: Choose the separator you want to show between the usergroups. (Default is 'Star - solid')
Usergroup Legend on Forumhome View Usergroups: These usergroups can view the Usergroup Legend. (Default is '0' = all usergroups)
Enable Spiders in Usergroup Legend on Forumhome: Click Yes if you want Spiders to show in the Usergroup Legend on Forumhome. (Default is 'No')
Show Spider Image as Separator for Spiders: Click Yes if you want the spider image to show before Spiders in the legend instead of the legend separator. (Default is 'No')

Note: You must have the "Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online" mod installed for the above 2 Spider options to work.

3. Style Variable:
Go to your Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Style Variable Editor -> Click Go Button -> Boofo -> boofo_legend_separator_color
Enter a hex color code or web-safe color for the usergroup separator (Examples: hex code: #FF0000 or web-safe color: red)

Boofo,
First I would like to say THANK YOU!! Great mod, that I used to replace another mod. However, I'm running vB 4.2, but I don't think that is the issue. You see I have a theme that I created on my site: http://www.place4musicians.com which you will see when you go there. However, I just purchased Bluepearl Seamus Light and Dark. The dark version I have not got around to installing all the XML files yet.

After you go to my site, a work in progress for a little over a year, you will see that your mod works perfect on the default "vBSilver" theme that I created. However, if you change the theme to any of the Seamus themes you will see that I get a black bar with the names on top of it. There will be a pic at the bottom of the post for you as well.

This is the reason that I removed the other modification and switched to yours, so I'm let with a.... "How do I get that black box out of there?" question. I've used Firebug, but it doesn't even come close to giving me a hint in the Stylvars of what I need to change. It's left me a little confused at this point!

Anyway, I was hoping that you might be able to give me a little direction in this area. Like I said, I had another Usergroup legend mod that did the same thing. I really want to have your mod on my site, so if you know of anything that will help me I would appreciate the assistance.

Many thanks for the work you put forth in this modification!!

Boofo,
I kind of got it to work. Using Firebug I noticed that the information was taking place:

I'm not much of a coder so what I did was the add a background color at the bottom of the CSS file in the same place that Firebug told me.

The line in red is of course what I added. However, it's not really a big deal, but I noticed that the boarder top and bottom are not equal. I've attached an image to show you what I mean. Is there a place in the CSS where I can make this change? Like I said it's okay, but I would like the boarder top and bottom to be of equal size.

Thank you! Loving the mod!!

Edit: Forgot to upload picture!!

Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Select the Usergroup that you want to edit the color on. You will see two boxes next to "Username HTML Markup". The first box is for the opening tags and the second box if for closing tags. I'll show you mine for my Administrator.

You can set it up with different fonts and colors for each group. Just keep in mind that if the user does not have the font on their computer then it will not show for them. Try to stick with common fonts.
