Mod Name / Version: UserGroupStatusFlag1.1.txt <br /> ver 1.1 - Updated instructions to work with 6.2 <br /> <br />Description: This hack will add an image that you supply next to a user's name based on their usergroup (like the mod and admin flag) <br /> <br />Working under: UBB.threads 6.2 <br /> <br />Any pre-requisites: none <br /> <br />Author(s): JoshPet www.joshuapettit.com <br /> for discussions and bugs go to www.threadsdev.com <br /> <br />Date: 12/26/02 <br /> <br />Credits: kaspar for suggesting it <br /> <br />Files Altered: postlist.php, showflat.php, showthreaded.php <br /> <br />Database Altered: No. <br /> <br />New Files: You supply whatever custom graphic you want. <br /> <br />Screenshot: <br />[]http://www.pettitfamily.net/josh/groupflagscreen.gif[/]

Josh,<br /><br />If I wanted to have 3 levels of supporters (that will later provide access to 3 level of information), I would have three more groups (5,6,7).<br /><br />Would I just duplicate the "Add Special flag" section changing the group number as necessary in the 6 sections that require it?

If you want them all to have different images, yes.... duplicate this section:<br /><br />// ------------------<br />// Add the special flag if they are part of the special group - hack by JoshPet<br /> elseif (preg_match("/-5-/",$postergroup)) { // adjust this group number if needed <br /> $UserStatus = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflagA.gif\" alt=\"SPECIAL\" border=\"0\" />";<br /> elseif (preg_match("/-6-/",$postergroup)) { // adjust this group number if needed <br /> $UserStatus = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflagB.gif\" alt=\"SPECIAL\" border=\"0\" />";<br />etc....<br /><br />Be sure to change the group number and image name each time. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Josh,<br /><br />The first group works fine, as it did before, but the mutliples didn't work. It broke where I added the additional groups. As I commented them out, the process went further and broke at the next occurance, until the additional groups were all commented out.<br /><br />I have attached the BAD file, just so that you can see that I increased my groups and used seperate images.<br /><br />FYI, groups were established and images were in place.<br />

Ack - I'm sorry, I forgot the closing }<br /><br /><br />So after each elseif statement you need a }<br /><br />Like this:<br /><br /><br />// Add the special flag if they are part of the special group - hack by JoshPet<br />elseif (preg_match("/-5-/",$postergroup)) { // adjust this group number if needed<br />$UserStatus = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflagA.gif\" alt=\"SPECIAL\" border=\"0\" />";<br />}<br />elseif (preg_match("/-6-/",$postergroup)) { // adjust this group number if needed<br />$UserStatus = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflagB.gif\" alt=\"SPECIAL\" border=\"0\" />";<br />}<br />etc....<br /><br />That should do it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Sorry. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />

Josh, <br /> <br />I took the Showprofile.php and Showprofile.tmpl hack for this from 6.1 and tried it as was and with some estimated changes, none of which worked for me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />If you get time it would be nice to tie the loose end on this hack. <br /> <br />Here is what I last tried in showprofile.php which is breaking somewhere in here. Could it be the (elsif) statement (I'm doing 3 levels of support)? <br /> <br />// ------------------------------ <br />// Grab the profile for this user <br /> $User = addslashes($User); <br /> <br /> $query = " <br /> SELECT U_Username,U_Fakeemail,U_Name,U_Totalposts,U_Homepage,U_Occupation, <br />U_Hobbies,U_Location,U_Bio,U_Extra1,U_Extra2,U_Extra3,U_Extra4,U_Extra5, <br />U_Registered,U_Picture,U_Title,U_Status,U_Number,U_Rating,U_Rates, <br />U_Picwidth,U_Picheight,U_Groups,U_BirthMonth,U_BirthDay,U_BirthYear <br /> FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Users <br /> WHERE U_Number = '$User' <br /> "; <br /> $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query); <br /> <br />// ---------------- <br />// Assign the stuff <br /> list ($CheckUser,$Fakeemail,$Name,$Totalposts,$Homepage,$Occupation, <br />$Hobbies,$Location,$Bio,$ICQ,$Extra2,$Extra3,$Extra4,$Extra5, <br />$Registered,$Picture,$Title,$Userstatus,$UNumber,$Rating,$Rates, <br />$width,$height,$Groups,$BirthMonth,$BirthDay,$BirthYear) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth); <br /> $dbh -> finish_sth($sth); <br /> <br />//----------------- <br />//See if they get a status flag - by JoshPet <br />if(preg_match("/-5-/",$Groups)) { <br />$UserGroup = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflag5.gif\" alt=\"SuperSport Supporter\" border=\"0\" />"; <br /> } <br />elseif(preg_match("/-6-/",$Groups)) <br />$UserGroup = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflag6.gif\" alt=\"Superbike Supporter\" border=\"0\" />"; <br /> } <br />elseif(preg_match("/-7-/",$Groups)) <br />$UserGroup = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflag7.gif\" alt=\"GP Supporter\" border=\"0\" />"; <br /> } <br /> else { <br /> $UserGroup = ""; <br /> } <br />

So you are trying to get the flags to display in showprofile?<br /><br />This looks good... what kind of error are you getting?

yes, trying to show the specialflag in Showprofile next to name. You made the hack up as an in post addition to it in 6.1 HERE<br /><br />It broke in line 108 of showprofile.php.<br />

Think I found it<br /><br />In the second and third<br /><br /> elseif(preg_match("/-6-/",$Groups)) {<br /><br /><br />You are missing the { at the end.<br /><br />Any time you do any kind of an "if, else, or elseif" statement, the whatever happens if it's true needs to be between { and }<br /><br />Maybe I left em out somewhere.<br /><br />I sometimes forget them here and there. Pain to track down sometimes.<br /><br />I think the file I've attached to THIS post should do it for you. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Let me know. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I've accounted for the Birthday mod as well. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br />

That was it!<br /><br />As always, thanks for the help and the quick response!!

Josh, <br /> <br />I just noticed this and remembered there was no adjustment to the Threaded view? <br /> <br />In threaded view the first and only the first poster is reflected with the supporter icon if any posters are supporters, even if the first is NOT. <br /> <br />I have added an attachement showing the first poster with the icon, when he is not a supporter... only NJSII is. <br /> <br />I also noticed this same thing on your board, Josh. <br /> <br />Not all that worried about it since most of my members use Flat mode, bu thtought I would mention it. <br /> <br />

Thanks. I'll look at it. Threaded view has always been buggy with admin/mod flags. I think *if* that is fixed, then we should be able to get this to work there too. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Josh,<br />I think this hack is something I can really use! - Now I can flag my artistson the board as "officially approved", so people know those users are no fakers but the real artists.. Very cool!!!! Thank you!!!!

ok this was a very odd request from one of my users, but nonetheless, i'm sure someone out there might have a use for this as well (especially if they are ashamed of the ammount of time the spend on your message board) <br /> <br />this add-on to Josh's modification makes it so users in a specific group don't have any details show up in showflat or threaded or showprofile.php... by details i mean, registered date, # of posts, it just has their name... stealth mode! <br /> <br />to prepare, you will need to create a group that is a Private Group, and get that group number, in my example, that group number is -5- you will have to replace with your number in order for this to work. <br /> <br />As always, backup your files kids! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />//showflat.php// <br />around line 794 find: <br /> <br />elseif (preg_match("/-6-/",$postergroup)) { <br /> $postrow[$i]['UserStatus'] = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflag.gif\" alt=\"SPECIAL\" border=\"0\" />"; <br /> } <br />replace with: <br /> <br />elseif (preg_match("/-6-/",$postergroup)) { <br /> $postrow[$i]['UserStatus'] = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/specialflag.gif\" alt=\"SPECIAL\" border=\"0\" />"; <br /> } <br /> elseif (preg_match("/-5-/",$postergroup)) { <br /> $postrow[$i]['TotalPosts'] = ""; <br /> $postrow[$i]['Location'] = ""; <br /> $postrow[$i]['Registered'] = ""; <br /> } <br /> <br />**where "/-5-/" is a new group for "stealth members" change to your group number <br />close and save, open <br /> <br /> <br />showthreaded.php <br />around line 744 find: <br /> <br />$Registered = "{$ubbt_lang['REGED_ON']} $Registered"; <br /> <br />replace with: <br /> <br />$Registered = "{$ubbt_lang['REGED_ON']} $Registered"; <br /> //stealth mode <br /> if (preg_match("/-5-/",$postergroup)) { <br /> $Registered = ""; <br /> } <br /> <br />and below that find: <br /> <br />$TotalPosts = "{$ubbt_lang['POSTS_TEXT']}: $TotalPosts"; <br /> <br /> <br />replace with <br /> <br />$TotalPosts = "{$ubbt_lang['POSTS_TEXT']}: $TotalPosts"; <br /> //stealth mode <br /> if (preg_match("/-5-/",$postergroup)) { <br /> $TotalPosts = ""; <br /> } <br /> <br />showprofile.php <br />first off you need to add in some variables for user groups: <br />around line 90 find: <br /> <br />SELECT U_Username,U_Fakeemail,U_Name,U_Totalposts,U_Homepage,U_Occupation, <br />U_Hobbies,U_Location,U_Bio,U_Extra1,U_Extra2,U_Extra3,U_Extra4,U_Extra5, <br />U_Registered,U_Picture,U_Title,U_Status,U_Number,U_Rating,U_Rates,U_Picwidth,U_Picheight <br /> <br />change to: <br /> <br />SELECT U_Username,U_Fakeemail,U_Name,U_Totalposts,U_Homepage,U_Occupation, <br />U_Hobbies,U_Location,U_Bio,U_Extra1,U_Extra2,U_Extra3,U_Extra4,U_Extra5, <br />U_Registered,U_Picture,U_Title,U_Status,U_Number,U_Rating,U_Rates,U_Picwidth,U_Picheight,U_Groups <br /> <br />and find: <br /> <br />list ($CheckUser,$Fakeemail,$Name,$Totalposts,$Homepage,$Occupation, <br />$Hobbies,$Location,$Bio,$ICQ,$Extra2,$Extra3,$Extra4,$Extra5, <br />$Registered,$Picture,$Title,$Userstatus,$UNumber,$Rating,$Rates, <br />$width,$height) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth); <br /> <br />and change to: <br /> <br />list ($CheckUser,$Fakeemail,$Name,$Totalposts,$Homepage,$Occupation, <br />$Hobbies,$Location,$Bio,$ICQ,$Extra2,$Extra3,$Extra4,$Extra5, <br />$Registered,$Picture,$Title,$Userstatus,$UNumber,$Rating,$Rates, <br />$width,$height,$postergroup) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth); <br /> <br />and find: <br /> <br />if ($thisuser['U_Status'] == "Moderator") { <br /> if ( ($config['modedit']) && ($Userstatus == "User") ) { <br /> $useredit = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/editicon.gif\" align=\"top\" alt=\"\" /> "; <br /> $useredit .= "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/admin/login.php?Cat=$Cat&amp;User=$User&amp;option=oneuser\">{$ubbt_lang['EDIT_T_U']}</a> | "; <br /> } <br /> } <br /> <br />and replace with <br /> <br />if ($thisuser['U_Status'] == "Moderator") { <br /> if ( ($config['modedit']) && ($Userstatus == "User") ) { <br /> $useredit = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/editicon.gif\" align=\"top\" alt=\"\" /> "; <br /> $useredit .= "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/admin/login.php?Cat=$Cat&amp;User=$User&amp;option=oneuser\">{$ubbt_lang['EDIT_T_U']}</a> | "; <br /> } <br /> } <br /> if (preg_match("/-5-/",$postergroup)) { <br /> $Totalposts = ''; <br /> $Registered = ''; <br /> $date = ''; <br /> } <br /> <br />and your done, you now have STEALTH MODE

LOL<br /><br />Good idea. Thanks for posting it. <br />Some users are funny about what gets displayed. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

forgot to add in that i modded user list as well so heaven forbid his register date and post count wouldn't show up there either.<br /><br />he offered me $ to do it as well!

Moved to Finished Mods forum.

I cannot get this working under 6.2.3<br /><br />If I set the group to 3, then everyone gets the moderator flag regardless, but any other group, and nothing happens.<br /><br />Any ideas?

3 would be the "User" group, which everyone belongs to.<br /><br />I think it would have to be a user group 5 or higher. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah I get that part, but any other number doesn't work.. I've created loads of new groups (which it seems I now cant delete) and it doesnt work with any of them.
