Cool Gardener.

thank you

Soooo cool.

I might be using it myself as well, I already have the color updated by group sort of only it is set by a separate script when somebody has donated some money.

Hmm, come to think of it, I think this hack used in conjunction with my upcoming PayPal donation script would be quite nice. It would make it a bit easier to finish that script. =]

Higest meaning highest actual group number? Or lowest number, as in oldest group?

i.e. I have 5 groups, if someone is a member of groups 3 and 5, I assume highest means that they would have the color and title set for group 5.

Thanks.

Yes, that is correct, the one with the highest number (being the newest group) is the one that will be used.

Hmm. I just looked at the code to make sure it works the same in all places and it seems I've done an unnecessary loop in the massupdate script.

I'll take a closer look at it and update the mod if it is necessary.

Edit: Nope, the loop is needed. But it seems that when doing a massupdate and removing users from a group, the last group in the config array will be used instead of the one with the highest ID number. Will that be a problem?

Nice mod Gardener Thanks.

Thanks for the info Gardener.

I just wanted the clarification so if the multiple group thing came up for me, I'd know for certain which it would show.

I'm thinking I might just add this one to my board, got a long laundry list of mods though... keep waiting on 6.3 final before I add anymore. LOL

Will this work for 6.4?

I don't know, haven't tried it yet. But apart from some possible differences in the code to look for I don't think there should be a problem.

can i uses this for 6.5?

bumpies... anybody help me out with this mod for 6.5 please.

updated for 6.5

there is no massupdate.php file in 6.5.. and you only have to alter the /admin/dochangeusergroups, /include/config.inc.php

looks as if you didn't restore the config.inc.php when you removed the changes.. go back into your config.inc.php and see whats up with it..

i did it looks fine :S

some weird stuff is happening. i had only just set up my forum and have 40 users but now it says msx 800 online at blah blahtime.... how the hell could this happen..

not with just this mod

nah i got it worked out i deleted 1 tomany lines jajaj all fixed now.

im to scared to try again ehhe.
