I wanted to put some text next to some usernames, let's say user_ids: 2266 and 5455. I understand I should do it by using the parseUserInfo function.

So I included this code in bb_plugins.php:

Then I copied {$userInfo_user_customtext[$poster_id]} to main_posts_cell.tpl (next to {$posterName}).

Please tell me what is wrong with this code because it didn't work:). Thank you.

Tom

I also tried these two codes below, but they didn't work either..

1. --------------

function parseUserInfo_user_customtext($val){

if ($GLOBALS['cols'][0]=2266 or $GLOBALS['cols'][0]=5455) return ' <b>[custom text next to username]</b>';

}

2. --------------

function parseUserInfo_user_customtext($val){

if ($val=2266 or $val=5455) return ' <b>[custom text next to username]</b>';

}

I guess I should add I need it on the thread pages, ie. $action=='vthread' (not userinfo pages). Thank you!

I suppose most of the task could be done specifying $userRanks array, which handles almost the same things as you are trying to put (special rankings for the user). 'Admin' and 'moderator' are already appearing automatically in miniBB already. I personally would avoid any duplications on the screen, specially that ones which affect user's statuses and ranks etc.; but anyway, the code is attached.

parseUserInfo function works both for the user's profile and 'vthread'. parseMessage is for 'vthread' only, so if this is only for 'vthread', we shall use it instead of parseUserInfo. 'vthread' is more correct way also in a case of referring variables.

Here is what you need to put in:

bb_specials.php - specify new array defining your very custom titles that way:

assigning user IDs and titles. Then modify bb_plugins.php, and add to the end of parseMessage function before closing bracket, the following code:

Such function is used widely for many other add-ons, so you need either to extend it either to create from scratch, but not duplicate it, because it will stop forums program to run.

Finally, paste {$userSpecialTitle} in main_posts_cell.html template in the place you would like such title to appear.

Thank You, Paul! I would have never done it myself :). It works correctly.
