Making Ranks Colored

[Darthmaul]

Okay, so on a forum you have the ranks. Now i have noticed on a few forums that these ranks are colored. I was wondering how to do that, if anyone knows. Thanks a ton!

It would be helpful if you could tell us what hosting you are using so we can tell you exactly tell you where you need to go to edit the settings 😉

 

[Darthmaul]

What do you mean? Ohh, i am using a paid host and have full access to my files

 

[MissTake]

Sorry I can't help you I'm only familiar with forumotion CP layout but I'm sure someone else can tell you 😉

 

[Darthmaul]

Lol, sounds fine. I know how to do it there, but i need it on phpbb on me paid host.

Are you talking about usernames or the ranks under their avatar such as "Super Poster"?

Being a bit clearer does help.

 

[Darthmaul]

Yeah, the rank, like "Super poster"
Ex: Super Poster

What forums have that coloured?

If you scroll down to me, you see the rank name is colored. NOT THE PIC

Never seen a phpBB forum with it like that before.

In viewtopic_body.html find the following

{postrow.RANK_TITLE}

Replace that with this following bit of code

<!-- IF postrow.POST_AUTHOR_COLOUR --><span style="color: {postrow.POST_AUTHOR_COLOUR}">{postrow.RANK_TITLE}</span><!-- ELSE -->{postrow.RANK_TITLE}<!-- ENDIF -->

That should work.

 

[Darthmaul]

Okay, so what will that do? Make the color of the group also the color of the rank?

 

[CyberFreak]

Basically yeah. Just like the ez promotion example. Is that want you wanted?

 

[Darthmaul]

Yeah, thanks, i will tell you if it works!

 

[Darthmaul]

<!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE or postrow.RANK_IMG --><dd>{postrow.RANK_TITLE}<!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE and postrow.RANK_IMG --><br /><!-- ENDIF -->{postrow.RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->

That the right thing to edit?

 

[CyberFreak]

Just replace {postrow.RANK_TITLE} with the code i posted above.

 

[Darthmaul]

<!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE or postrow.RANK_IMG --><dd>  <!-- IF postrow.POST_AUTHOR_COLOUR --><span style="color: {postrow.POST_AUTHOR_COLOUR}">{postrow.RANK_TITLE}</span><!-- ELSE -->{postrow.RANK_TITLE}<!-- ENDIF --><!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE and postrow.RANK_IMG --><br /><!-- ENDIF -->{postrow.RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->

That right?

 

[CyberFreak]

That looks right.

 

[Darthmaul]

Ok, i will tell you if it works

 

[CyberFreak]

I am guessing that as you haven't said it worked or not that it does actually work?

 

[Darthmaul]

Not really, but i think this is the mod for it:
