Yea, I'll look into adding that for the next version. First SMF mod, so still getting to know everything about it.
Great mod! Can it used so that only moderator/admin can edit users color?
Great mod would be good if only admins/mods can change the colour orfor certain member groups..
There will be to many Reds Lmfao

I will add a membergroup specific permission in the next version to be released soon ;)
Turkish translation :)
$txt['custom_color_title'] = 'Özelleştirilebilir Kullanıcı Adı Rengi';
$txt['custom_color_subtext'] = 'Biçim: red, green, blue VEYA #FFFFFF, #000000';
$txt['custom_color_profile'] = 'Profiline bak';
There a way to make this so it gives members more than one colour like alternating or looping throughout the name? I want rainbow names options. Thanks!

Not without a complete rewrite of the mod.
Is there something like this that is compatable with 1.1.11. If there is haven't been able to find it
I look forward to an update with group permissions!
ScopeXL: Guide to adding permissions for 2.0 can be found: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=345127.0
Thanks Arantor, guide helped me.
New version has been released. I've added permission to specify which group can edit their color. The permission is under "Member Profiles". Any questions or comments let me know.
Thanks to all who are providing translations. I'm sorry I forgot to include them in this update, I'll be sure to do so in the next release once finals are over.
Any questions or help with the mod let me know, I'm happy to help.
Updated russian translation
It doesn't seem to be working for me. I got the option on profiles, but nothing happened to the color when I tried to change it from the group color (admin red) to gray using hexcode and the color names.
Grat!!! thanks! :D
Spanish:
$txt['custom_color_title'] = 'Color de nombre de usuario personalizado';
$txt['custom_color_subtext'] = 'Formato: red, green, blue O #FFFFFF, #000000';
$txt['custom_color_profile'] = 'Ver el perfil de';
//
$txt['permissionname_profile_ccolor'] = 'Cambiar color del nombre de usuario';
$txt['permissionhelp_profile_ccolor'] = 'Cambia el color del nombre de usuario a lo que éste configuró.';

Are you using the option in Profile -> Forum Profile to change the color? Do not change the membergroup color, I only added the permission so that the "Custom Username Color" field would be visible/invisible if the permission was set.
Yes, I am using the option in the profiles.

What browser and version are you using?
Please add a restriction (or even inhibit) on the use of ordinary users of such colors as red and the like :)
Array of colors can even be set in the settings.
in Thai languages ;D
$txt['custom_color_title'] = 'ปรับแต่งสีชื่อผู้ใช้งาน';
$txt['custom_color_subtext'] = 'ฟอร์แมต: red, green, blue หรือ #FFFFFF, #000000';
$txt['custom_color_profile'] = 'ดูข้อมูลส่วนตัวของ';
Will this be updated to RC4?
Using the 1.1 version of this mod. I disabled the permissions for everyone except Admin to change username colours. Then in each members profile I changed thier colors accordingly and all works as expected; all users have their set colors in their post/topic profiles.
Except, only the Admin can see those color changes. For everyone else, all names still appear as orange.
The only way around this seems to be to allow permissions for everyone to change their name colors to whatever they want which isnt what is desired.
Have I missed something or can you update this so that every one can see those color changes set by admin.
is there going to be a 2.0 rc5 version
and only staff editable
any update on this we would love to know

In package-info
Find:
<install for="2.0 RC3">Replace with:
<install for="2.0 RC5">Find:
<uninstall for="2.0 RC3">Replace with:
<uninstall for="2.0 RC5">Then zip it. :)
Or better, use the option in Admin > Packages > Browse Packages > Advanced to do the same basic thing without the tedium of editing a package.
okay great but it's still not admin editable
thank you though for posting how to get it to work though
Getting this error in the error log, when viewing post messages.
8: Undefined index: custom_color
File: /home/brawldom/public_html/Themes/default/Display.template.php
Line: 312
Why is it that ONLY members with the permissions can see the other members custom colors?
EDIT:: I fixed this by modifying the display.template file
Update: Version 1.2 released. Basically I just fixed up what was reported. All users now see the custom colors, even if their permissions don't allow them to change their own. And I have fixed the undefined index error messages. Works on a fresh install of SMF 2.0 RC5. Let me know if you have any issues.
Thank you very much for the update. Made the edits you changed in the display.template ; and every thing's working nice, and no errors. :)

Oh I see what your saying. At the moment no I haven't added the ability for color to be seen on other areas of the site. I will look into it though for future versions.

You can't at the moment.

I, myself, prefer it just how it is. Makes members happy, but keeps the home page looking clean. If you do add it forum wide, I'd like the option to just have it in the post, as originally designed, please. :)
Though, options for color changes in PM's, Who's Online would be a nice addition.
Scope XL : okay then, ill just wait for the next version. Thanks for this mod btw :D
