Post background color depending on usergroup [TUTORIAL] - Eskii - 2013-02-02
My last tutorial was a little long. So this one will be short!
Steps in simple:
ACP > Templates & Style > Themes > Add code > Templates > Add code
Easy in theory? Yes. Good..
OK now here is the long steps....
ACP > Templates & Style > Themes
Now choose the theme you are currently using.
Click "options"
Then "edit theme"
Now click on "showthread.css"
Add this to the VERY bottom of that:
.usergroup4 {
color: white;
background-color: red;
background-image: none;
}
".usergroup4" That little 4 number is the GID, that be found very easily, but I will not explain that.
Change that number, to the GID of the group you want to color.
Don't mind the "color: white;"
The "background-color: red;" is the color of the post background. This can be used like "red" or HEX codes such as "#FF0000"
The "background-image: none;" is the URL of a background image you want to use.
Now lets move to the next step:
Go to templates > Choose the theme you choose before
Click "Options"
Click "Expand Templates"
Now here is where it gets confusing.
There should be a big list of words.
Find the one that says "Post bit templates" easily by hitting
"CTRL+F" and typing "Post bit templates"
Now click on "Post bit"
Click on the first link called "Postbit"
Replace the current code with this:
{$ignore_bit}
<a name="pid{$post['pid']}" id="pid{$post['pid']}"></a>
<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder" style="{$post_extra_style} {$post_visibility}" id="post_{$post['pid']}">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<div class="float_left smalltext">
{$post['postdate']}, {$post['posttime']} <span id="edited_by_{$post['pid']}">{$post['editedmsg']}</span>
</div>
{$post['posturl']}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow1 {$unapproved_shade}">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<td class="post_avatar" width="1" style="{$post['avatar_padding']}">
{$post['useravatar']}
</td>
<td class="post_author">
<strong><span class="largetext">{$post['profilelink']}</span></strong> {$post['onlinestatus']}<br />
<span class="smalltext">
{$post['usertitle']}<br />
{$post['userstars']}
{$post['groupimage']}
</span>
</td>
<td class="smalltext post_author_info" width="165">
{$post['user_details']}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow2 post_content usergroup{$post['usergroup']} {$unapproved_shade}">
<span class="smalltext"><strong>{$post['icon']}{$post['subject']} {$post['subject_extra']}</strong></span>
<div class="post_body" id="pid_{$post['pid']}">
{$post['message']}
</div>
{$post['attachments']}
{$post['signature']}
<div class="post_meta" id="post_meta_{$post['pid']}">
{$post['iplogged']}
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow1 post_buttons {$unapproved_shade}">
<div class="author_buttons float_left">
{$post['button_email']}{$post['button_pm']}{$post['button_www']}{$post['button_find']}{$post['button_rep']}
</div>
<div class="post_management_buttons float_right">{$post['button_spam']}{$post['button_edit']}{$post['button_quickdelete']}{$post['button_quote']}{$post['button_multiquote']}{$post['button_report']}{$post['button_warn']}{$post['button_reply_pm']}{$post['button_replyall_pm']}{$post['button_forward_pm']}{$post['button_delete_pm']}
</div>
</td>
</tr>

Dear i have done what ever is written in your post but even then i am having same image in my posts as old one. I mean this thing did not work for me.
here is the link to my forum

1 more query.
Will this thing edit all posts made by that user group or will it just edit new posts which you make after editing ??
