Mod Name / Version: User Group Status Flags 6.5 <br /><br />Description: Allows you to place little graphics next to users in special groups (similar to the admin/mod flags).

How would one go about placing the image below<br />Reged: 11/29/01 <br />Posts: 10907 <br />Loc: Charlotte, NC <br /><br />IMAGE HERE<br /><br />instead of near the user name?

If memory serves right you will need to change the location of the $postrow[$i]['UserStatus'] in the showflat.tmpl and position it below the location.<br /><br />So the:<br /><br /><b>{$postrow[$i]['Username']}{$postrow[$i]['UserStatus']}</b><br /><br /><br /><span class="small"><br />{$postrow[$i]['Title']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['Rating']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['Picture']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['Registered']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['TotalPosts']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['Location']}<br /><br /><br />will become:<br /><br /><b>{$postrow[$i]['Username']}</b><br /><br /><br /><span class="small"><br />{$postrow[$i]['Title']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['Rating']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['Picture']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['Registered']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['TotalPosts']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['Location']}<br /><br /><br />{$postrow[$i]['UserStatus']}<br /><br />Similarly for showthreaded you need to change this:<br /><br /><b>$Username$MainUserStatus</b><br /><br /><br /><span class="small"><br />$Title<br /><br /><br />$Rating<br /><br /><br />$Picture<br /><br /><br />$Registered<br /><br /><br />$TotalPosts<br /><br /><br />$Location<br /></span><br /><br />to this:<br /><br /><b>$Username</b><br /><br /><br /><span class="small"><br />$Title<br /><br /><br />$Rating<br /><br /><br />$Picture<br /><br /><br />$Registered<br /><br /><br />$TotalPosts<br /><br /><br />$Location<br /><br /><br />$MainUserStatus<br /></span><br /><br /><br />With this approach you can use a bit bigger graphics

Thanks <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Im planning to use it for members that play different online games. Right now Im testing it to show a Halo 2 image and linking that image to the reveliant persosn stats for that game.

OK, got it installed but for the life of me I cant see where you would set what group to use what image? <br /> <br />EDIT: <br />The code you said to change, changes all the admins and mods letters to the bottom also. I was just tring to change the "special group image" <br /> <br />

In that case you will need to change it a bit more. You will need to leave the {$postrow[$i]['UserStatus']} where it is and introduce a new array dimention something like {$postrow[$i]['NewImage']} which will be populated according to the group that the user belongs to (and then you can distiguish whether mods/admins are affected by this or not) and display any information you need from there on. <br /> <br />Edit: And of course you will place the {$postrow[$i]['NewImage']} wherever you want in the template to be shown. The same thing happens with showthreaded screens - the names of the variables differ a bit.

Josh, I noticed that on the postlist.php edits t1.B_Body is missing off the end of both the original and replacement SELECT statement lines. I kept them in on mine. (running 6.5 latest release).

That must be from another mod - yeah, if your code is different, you need to add the group field to the end of it.

This seems a lot like Admin Selectable Ratings which you allready use for your UBBDev Haxxor image ,can you explain the difference?

This is dependant on usergroup - so what this is mostly used for - if you offer subscriptions/donations via MyPaymentPal or similar - you can give those folks a ribbon next to their name after they make payment. This one is totally automatic - and next to the username like an admin/mod flag. You have to define each Admin selectable ratings on a user by user bases.

My members are loving this. Thanks again Josh! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Josh, can you tell me the difference between this mod and the mod I am using right now on my board: "Group Name Display 2.0"<br /><br />I'm now ugrading my current board from 6.4.1 to 6.5.1b5 and I really need my old mod to be working again <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Thanks

How do I show both the paid flag and the Admin/Mod Flag? <br />and show up in the active topics list?

This is nifty . . . but I'd like to see something that instead of giving users of a specific group a special flag, would set up a color class for their names (like modname and adminname) that a new stylesheet element could be defined for, so that a specific group could be made to stand out by name color on the boards, rather than by a status flag.

Great mod. I have been trying to get the "special" group name to display in the Who's Online screen. I added the text I want displayed to the language file. But trying to set the Status by the U_Groups feild has not worked. I'm sure it's something little I'm missing. <br />Thanks.
