[Implemented] Membergroup colours in posts

[dracomiconia]

I have seen this before, but I think it wasn't in feature forums...

[Tomer]

This is an easy mod to change. If you want help changing this, post here and I will guide you through it.

[dracomiconia]

Tell me how.... I'll be proud of making it myself with a little help....

[Yonkey]

In \Themes\<your current theme>\Display.template.php:

change:

Code Select Expand


// Show the member's primary group (like 'Administrator') if they have one.
if (isset($message['member']['group']) && $message['member']['group'] != '')
echo '
', $message['member']['group'], '<br />';

// Don't show these things for guests.
if (!$message['member']['is_guest'])
{
if ($message['member']['post_group'] != '')
echo '
', $message['member']['post_group'], '<br />';


to:

Code Select Expand


// Show the member's primary group (like 'Administrator') if they have one.
if (isset($message['member']['group']) && $message['member']['group'] != '') {
if (isset($message['member']['group_color']))
echo '
', '<span style="color : ', $message['member']['group_color'],';"><b>', $message['member']['group'], '</b></span><br />';
else
echo '
', $message['member']['group'], '<br />';
}

// Don't show these things for guests.
if (!$message['member']['is_guest'])
{
if ($message['member']['post_group'] != '') {
if (isset($message['member']['post_group_color']))
echo '
', '<span style="color : ', $message['member']['post_group_color'],';">', $message['member']['post_group'], '</span><br />';
else
echo '
', $message['member']['post_group'], '<br />';
}


Enjoy!

Thank u...

I can see color in membergroup, but not in the name of the poster, but it is almost the thing I was looking for...

Thank u very much.

[Oldiesmann]

So you want the color to apply to the poster as well? That's easy enough to do...

Open up display.template.php:

find

Code Select Expand

echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">
<b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b><br />
<span class="smalltext">';

replace

Code Select Expand

echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">';

if(isset($message['member']['group']) && $message['member']['group'] != '' && isset($message['member']['group_color']))
{
echo '
<span style="color : ', $message['member']['group_color'] ,';"><b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b></span><br />';
}
else (if(isset($message['member']['post_group_color'] && $message['member']['post_group'] != '' && !$message['member']['is_guest'])
{
echo '
<span style="color : ', $message['member']['post_group_color'] ,';"><b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b></span><br />';
}
else
{
echo '
<b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b><br />';
}
echo '
<span class="smalltext">';

I get this error:
parse error, unexpected T_IF in /xxx/Display.template.php on line 226

using Oldiesman code.

also, where in the Display.template would I be able to show the colors of members in the thread view?

[Oldiesmann]

Whoops!

Find:

Code Select Expand

else (if(isset($message['member']['post_group_color'] && $message['member']['post_group'] != '' && !$message['member']['is_guest'])

Replace:

Code Select Expand

else (if(isset($message['member']['post_group_color']) && $message['member']['post_group'] != '' && !$message['member']['is_guest']))

[Elijah Bliss]

Whoops!

Find:

Code Select Expand

else (if(isset($message['member']['post_group_color'] && $message['member']['post_group'] != '' && !$message['member']['is_guest'])

Replace:

Code Select Expand

else (if(isset($message['member']['post_group_color']) && $message['member']['post_group'] != '' && !$message['member']['is_guest']))

hmmm. I don't get it. I can't get yours or Yonkey's code to work. With his I get:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /xxx/Display.template.php on line 693

and I still get the same error code with yours with the corrections. I also tried it on the SMF default template and I still get the same errors. Is this mod for Beta 5 public?

[Yonkey]

What's on line 693? 

And yes, I'm using 1.0 beta 5 

[Elijah Bliss]

What's on line 693? 

And yes, I'm using 1.0 beta 5 

The 693 was from my modified template.
The 634, which doesn't matter because both lines lead to the end of the document.

[Elijah Bliss]

If you like here are my display.templates with the mods:

[Yonkey]

Can you rename them to .txt, I can't download the file as a .php because your server only shows the compiled versions:

<b>Parse error</b>:  parse error, unexpected $ in <b>Display.template.php</b> on line <b>634</b><br />

<b>Parse error</b>:  parse error, unexpected $ in <b>Display.template.php</b> on line <b>634</b><br />

I attached the files and labeled the accordingly.

[Oldiesmann]

Ok... Try this one.

[Elijah Bliss]

Ok... Try this one.

still no go. Now I get:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /xxx/Display.template.php on line 226

Thanks!

The code worked, and I'm no longer getting error messages, but I can't see the colors in their names. The member group colors for admin and moderator are red and blue, where exactly should I look to see the modification?

[dschwab9]

I thought it was supposed to be safe to attach PHP files in SMF?  Did something change?  It seems to actually execute them now instead of forcing download.

You have to define a specific color for each post group.
Admin -> Edit Membergroups
Click on "Modify" next to a membergroup, and put something in the "color in online list" box.
