Note:
I haven't add the adminhelp thingy, a bit too lazy right now. The mod is pretty easy to figure out anyway
If you can't find where the mod settings are, it's in a new page. The link to the settings page, called Set Member Groups Color, is under Edit Member groups link in Admin Center

Because I don't use boardmod or yabbpak I install al the mods on my board manually.. I have to upload and execute "usercolor_dbmod.php", but I can't find this file anywhere.. the only file that comes near is group_dbmod.php.. is this is just a little mistyping from your side or a misreading from my side?

I think he meant group_dbmod.php.  It's not a big difference.

ok.. I'm just scared to screw up my board (again)

[Spaceman-Spiff]

my mistake
i copied and pasted the instruction from my other mod (user color), but forgot to change that part

[Walhalla]

Ok, I've got the mod working, but I have some little problems.. I'm working with additional member groups (called xxx group) but I don't wan to color them, I want color the post member groups.. from noob till elite member.. but it looks like my selfe made xxx group is overruling the other colors... so I can change what I want, the names stay blue.. and an other strange thing is that I can change the color of the global moderators but I can't change the colors of the admins... someone got the solution?

edit: eg I changed the color for the admins in green.. I can't see it on the index, but when I click my profile I can see my name green..

thats weird
everything is fine in the demo site, u can see it for yourself
if u dont want to color a certain membergroup, just leave it empty
can i have a link to your forum?

I will reinstall the mod, if I got the same problem again I will post a screenshot.. can't give you the link

Ok, I think I know the mod don't work properly... I changed the names of my membergroups, I only used Global Moderator as standard.. for the admins I used Uber Admin, when I changed it in the standard administrator the mod works for the admin group.. so I think when I change all membergroups to the standard names the mod will work totally..

does anyone know how I do that.. or am I forced to change the names into the standards before the mod will work?

[Walhalla]

Checked it on a test forum, and I'm having the same problem... the mod can't handle modified group names  

[Spaceman-Spiff]

u're right, i'll take a look at the problem...

I've installed the mod and seems fine but the colours are not shown..all members have the default colour..
I think the foult is in this piece of code but don't know for sure..

Code Select Expand

if ($tmp['realName'] != '')
      {
         if ($tmp['memberGroup'] != '')
         {
            $request_color = mysql_query("SELECT color FROM {$db_prefix}membergroups WHERE membergroup='$tmp[memberGroup]' AND color!='' LIMIT 1;");
            if (mysql_num_rows($request_color) > 0)
            {
               $tmp_color = mysql_fetch_row($request_color);
               $tmpusers[] = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=viewprofile;user=' . $euser . '"><font color="' . $tmp_color[0] . '">' . $tmp[realName] . '</font></a>';
            }
            else
               $tmpusers[] = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=viewprofile;user=' . $euser . '">' . $tmp[realName] . '</a>';
         }
         else
            $tmpusers[] = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=viewprofile;user=' . $euser . '">' . $tmp[realName] . '</a>';
      }
      else
         $guests ++;
   }
   if ($modSettings['colorMemberGroup_showInfo'] == 1)
   {
      $request_color = mysql_query("SELECT membergroup, color FROM {$db_prefix}membergroups WHERE color!='';");
      $color_info = $modSettings['colorMemberGroup_start'];
      $color_total = mysql_num_rows($request_color);
      $color_counter = 0;
      while ($tmp_color = mysql_fetch_row($request_color))
      {
         $color_info .= '<font color="' . $tmp_color[1] . '">' . $tmp_color[0] . '</font>';
         $color_counter++;
         if ($color_counter < $color_total)
            $color_info .= $modSettings['colorMemberGroup_between'];
      }
      $color_info .= $modSettings['colorMemberGroup_end'];
   }
What tot do?

cool mod  

[Spaceman-Spiff]

updated to 1.1, should fix the color not showing properly if using custom membergroup name

[-AOA-Zeus]

u can hardcode the colours yourself in the boardindex.php.
small howto!
search for "red" and u´ll find the right line. look how it is written. insert a new line like the others are (copy-paste) and rename the usergroup. thats all.
curr. version: 1.5.1-45.
