My RPG site's an Invisionfree-site and I've been wondering about something... You know the names of all the members online that show up at the bottom of the page? How can I give those names specific colours/fonts differing per member group? I know it probably has something to do with the member groups, but I can't really find it, so, does anyone care to help?

I hope it makes sense... :unsure:

If you go into the admin cp, then go to 'manage user groups'.

This should give you your list of member groups. Next, click on 'edit group'.

Now on this screen, scroll until you see a field with the label 'Online List Format [Prefix]'

In this box you must put the colour, best of using the hex code, for the colour you want.

Example, my group 'admin' is B22222 for colour. You must put is in the little template it suggests:

(Example:<span style='color:red'>)

So for my group it is:

<span style='color:B22222'>

Hope that helps!

Ah, I see! Thanks a bunch, dude! :D

You wouldn't happen to know how to add the little key thing too, do you? Y'know, to show what all the colours signify?

That would be a code, you'd have to find a code you like, and then within that code, place the names of positions on the boards and colours you wish them to be.

Might find what you want at Invisionfree, just have a look in the code index or something. It will probably be listed under 'legend'. Not sure though. :D

<div align="center">
<table width="95%" id="userlinks" cellspacing="6" border="1" bordercolor="black">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<font color="colour of '['">[ <b><a href="link to member group"><font color="color of name">Name of Group</font></a></b> ] </font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

That would be the code you are looking for, just change the stuff in red and you'd be sorted

this code goes in header and body and normally under the <% BOARD %> thingy

At http://forums.ifskinzone.net you can find some other awesome codes as well. There are zillion codes for those online member colour thingies.

I think Andy didn't say, but after you put the little code in the 'Online List Format [Prefix]' you have to do put this '</span>' in the 'Online List Format [Suffix]'

For bold or italics or other thingies, just put it like this

and....

Change the <b></b> with other like <i> to make the names italics, underlined etc.

Thanks for all the help, you guys. ^_^

Uhm, kinda confused, but then again, I'm not exactly an expert with code to say the least... :ph43r: Could anyone give me an example?

@Shinli: That's weird, I didn't put anything in the suffix-thing but it turned out alright... :blink:

Yah, if you have a look in the label next to the suffix field, it looks like you can leave it blank and it will assume </span> at the end. So you only really need to use the suffix is you are adding something as ShinLi said, like making the names bold. :D

Oh, that makes sense. :D

If you’re still looking for an example for the key, here’s one... This also renames your 'Guests' to 'Visitors', 'Members' to 'Students and Staff' and 'Anonymous' to 'Ghosts' on the stats. ;) (And the coding wasn't done by me but by Webworldx, from the IF forums I think...)

If you need help editing that to fit the colours and member groups you have, PM me a link to your forum just asking me to look over the code and I'd be happy to edit it for you, and then I'd PM you the code. (The only reason I'd need a link is so I could see what colours you wanted.)

Aha!

I always thought it was:

Makes me fell a little dumb! ^_^
