Small thing but?

[K2]

If you go here http://www.ozzu.com/index.php and look at the users online section, you will see they have color coded and explained the user groups for easy referencing in brackets [ admin ] [ moderator ]  I think that is a nice feature as I always wonder what the heck the colors mean when I go to other peoples forums.

[Oldiesmann]

The information is already there... Just a matter of displaying it

Add this someplace in BoardIndex.template.php:

Code Select Expand

foreach($context['online_groups'] AS $group)
{
    if(!empty($group['color']) && $group['color'] != '')
        echo '[ <span style="color:' . $group['color'] . '">' . $group['name'] . '</span> ] ';
}

Wow, that's a pretty cool and simple modification. Thanks.

Is that for all regular groups? How about showing the primary groups, but not the additional groups?

[Oldiesmann]

That's for all groups. As long as at least one member in that group is online at the moment, and there's a color set for that group, the group will be displayed. If you don't want additional groups to be displayed, then don't set colors for those groups

Another VERY COOL thing I found on that forum http://www.ozzu.com/index.php was in the "Website Reviews" section. If you sign up as a member of that board, click on that section as if you are going to ask for a site review and see what happens. An awesome warning window pops up.

I WANT ONE!

Any hope we can get some guidance on doing something like that on SMF?

Nice.  I just added this to my test forum.  It would be nice if this was added as default.  maybe an option to enable it or disable it.

I agree.

[JayBachatero]

Oldiesmann can I turn this into a mod with the ability to enable it disable it in the admin panel?

[Ivan Minic]

Awsome mod!

[JayBachatero]

I just finished into making it a mod for 1.1 beta 3 - rc1

http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=207

[1MileCrash]

why?

it's not really mod worthy...anybody could paste the code and make it work..

[K2]

How about using it on 'this' forum? I would like it. But then again...

[Anakin_holland]

I would like this feature to be permanently visible, not just for the groups that are current represented online?

I guess I have to replace the variable "$context['online_groups']", but with what?

Greetz!

worked like a charm. Thank you for your help.

[blinddruid]

I really like the format that one board I saw has for their online users. 



How can this be done for ver 1.05? 

Thanks.

[Ripper1231]

I put it in...but what stuff do I edit? Can you make it red on the stuff you must edit?
