Custom titles.

[pariahdog]

Is it possible to use BBCode in the custom titles? I would really like to be able to edit size and color.

also, is there a way to replace the membergroup title with a custom title? thanks a lot.

[Oldiesmann]

Yes, you could do both.

To add UBBC functionality to the custom title:

In Themes/classic/Display.template.php

Search for

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

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

Replace with

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Show the member's custom title, if they have one.
if (isset($message['member']['title']) && $message['member']['title'] != '')
echo '
', doUBBC($message['member']['title']), '<br />';

In Themes/default/Display.template.php

Search for

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

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

Replace with

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Show the member's custom title, if they have one.
if (isset($message['member']['title']) && $message['member']['title'] != '')
echo '
', doUBBC($message['member']['title']), '<br />';

In Themes/default/Profile.template.php

Search for

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

if (!empty($modSettings['titlesEnable']) && $context['member']['title'] != '')
{
echo '
<tr>
<td><b>', $txt['title1'], ': </b></td>
<td>', $context['member']['title'], '</td>
</tr>';
}

Replace with

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

if (!empty($modSettings['titlesEnable']) && $context['member']['title'] != '')
{
echo '
<tr>
<td><b>', $txt['title1'], ': </b></td>
<td>', doUBBC($context['member']['title']), '</td>
</tr>';
}

Now, to replace the membergroup title with the custome title (not sure why you'd wanna do this, though):

In Themes/classic/Display.template.php

Search for:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// 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'])
{
echo '
', $message['member']['post_group'], '<br />
', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';

Replace with:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// 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'])
{
echo '
', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';

In Themes/default/Display.template.php:

Search for

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// 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'])
{
echo '
', $message['member']['post_group'], '<br />
', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';

Replace with

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// 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'])
{
echo '
', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';

In Themes/default/Profile.template.php

Search for

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<td><b>', $txt[87], ': </b></td>
<td>', (!empty($context['member']['group']) ? $context['member']['group'] : $context['member']['post_group']), '</td>

Replace with

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<td><b>', $txt[87], ': </b></td>
<td>', (!empty($context['member']['group']) ? $context['member']['group'] : ''), '</td>

[pariahdog]

Thank you so much.

[Oldiesmann]

No problem.

[Tristan Perry]

Hmm....I tried the 2nd thing (If a member has a custom title, it replaces their member group) although I just got a parse error and it didn't work......I followed everything correctly....

[Oldiesmann]

I changed one minor thing. I don't think it should have caused a parse error, but it might have. If you get a parse error again, please post the error message here. It's much easier to help that way.

[Tristan Perry]

Parse error: parse error in /home/yxdvfheq/public_html/forums/Themes/default/Profile.template.php on line 525

When I view someones profile and then I get:

Unable to load the 'X' template.

When I try to edit something of a members...

[Oldiesmann]

Ok... Well, try this.

In the last step, change the '' to "" and see what happens. I haven't actually tested this, but I think it will work.

[Oldiesmann]

Actually, I just realized something. I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be. I'm basically saying "If $context['member']['group'] isn't empty, display it, otherwise display nothing". But, if it's empty, that's the same as nothing.. So, change that last step to

Find:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<td><b>', $txt[87], ': </b></td>
<td>', (!empty($context['member']['group']) ? $context['member']['group'] : $context['member']['post_group']), '</td>

Replace:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<td><b>', $txt[87], ': </b></td>
<td>', $context['member']['group'], '</td>

Thanks but still:

Replace:

<td><b>', $txt[87], ': </b></td>
<td>', $context['member']['group'], '</td>

That should fix it.

And the custom title and the member group shows....

   Sorry for all of this, if it's not possible then that's okay.

Please post line 108 of that file here...

[scottb]

Hmm would it be possible to change the color of the membergroup title?

[Tristan Perry]

Please post line 108 of that file here...

Um....

if ($user_info['is_admin'])

[Oldiesmann]

Look at the lines above that. Including the code changes I just told you about, you should see this:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

</tr><tr>
<td><b>', $txt[87], ': </b></td>
<td>', $context['member']['group'], '</td>
</tr>';

</tr>';

Yeah I see that.....

[Oldiesmann]

I don't know what's causing that problem then...

[Tristan Perry]

I don't know what's causing that problem then...

This is the file I have with the changes you said, if it helps:

[Oldiesmann]

That helps a lot. Here's your problem right here...

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

</tr><tr>
<td><b>', $txt[87], ': </b></td>
<td>', $context['member']['group'], '</td>

That should be

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

</tr><tr>
<td><b>', $txt[87], ': </b></td>
<td>', $context['member']['group'], '</td>
</tr>';

[Tristan Perry]

That helps a lot. Here's your problem right here...

Sorry about all this

Your editor is screwing with the file.  I recommend you try something simpler like Notepad and start from a clean file.

-[Unknown]

[Tristan Perry]

I tried it with notepad, no parse errors but nothing happened, custom title didn't show over the member groups and UBBC code didn't work.....

[Oldiesmann]

Try it with a fresh copy of profile.template.php. It should work just fine.

[Tristan Perry]

Just tried it as you said, no parse errors shown but nothing happened. I still got:

Craftworld Shas'O     (Custom Title)
Shas'ui                   (Member Group)


   All I want is the Custom title to show (If a member has a custom title!)

[Oldiesmann]

Hmmm... Send me a PM with your FTP stuff and let me try it.

Okay I'll do that now.

Oh yeah, I have restored the old Display.template and Profile.template files and so none of the changes I made are there!

[Oldiesmann]

Ok.

[pariahdog]

Right, I think he and I were looking for the same thing. I wanted the custom title to replace a user's Member group so that it would not show the title AND membergroup. However; I still wanted to be able to see all of the other poster's member group info... Maybe I'm not making any sense.

I'm not sure about the last bit, but this is what Olidesmann did, and it's working fine:

In Display.index.php:

Find

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

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

// 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'])
{
echo '
', $message['member']['post_group'], '<br />
', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';

Replace

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Show the member's custom title, if they have one.
if (isset($message['member']['title']) && $message['member']['title'] != '')
echo '
', doUBBC($message['member']['title']), '<br />';



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



In Profile.template.php:

Find

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

echo '
<tr>
<td><b>', $txt['title1'], ': </b></td>
<td>', $context['member']['title'], '</td>
</tr>';

Replace

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

echo '
<tr>
<td><b>', $txt['title1'], ': </b></td>
<td>', doUBBC($context['member']['title']), '</td>
</tr>';

I want to add this to the PM's because the BBC coding show up in there? How can I do this? everything else is GREAT!

}

Replace with

{
echo '

</tr>';
}

I must be doing something wrong as I can change the colour now and it appears correct in the profile but I cannot see it next to the posts. It gives me Custum Title XXX[/ color]  [/ color]

[Stuart]

Oooops, I'm so sorry! I just realised I have to change Display.template.php in my current theme 

Nevertheless, how do I change this so it appears correctly in my Instant Messages too?

I didn't want to start a new thread so I figured I would use this one. Hope that is OK. I wish to know the same thing...
