Changing Post Author Colour to Group colour

[phillipw1994]

Hi how would i go about changing the Author Colour for a post to a group colour as my links are currently blue and i want to change them to a group colour, e.g. green for admins, red for moderators etc. So members know what group the users belong to.

In which page exactly?

forumdisplay, portal, index?

[sunjava1]

ACP >> USERS and Groups (See the Left Bar) . Here is the option Groups. Open it and there will be list of groups. Click on any group for which you want to change color. Then there is a option to change color.[ May be the group name dont remember exact option name, but the field has something like this {username} ]

How can i make the post author look like this


instead of this


I've tried editing that but it doesn't work

I want it to look like this on the Forum Display Page

File: forumdisplay.php
Find:

// Don't link to guest's profiles (they have no profile).
if($lastposteruid == 0)
{
$lastposterlink = $lastposter;
}
else
{
$lastposterlink = build_profile_link($lastposter, $lastposteruid);
}

Replace:

if($lastposteruid == 0)
        {
            $lastposterlink = $lastposter;
        }
        else
        {
            $user_lastpost = get_user($lastposteruid);
            $lastposter_formar = format_name($user_lastpost['username'], $user_lastpost['usergroup'], $user_lastpost['displaygroup']);
            $lastposterlink = build_profile_link($lastposter_formar, $user_lastpost['uid']);
        }

Find:

$thread['author'] = $thread['uid'];
if(!$thread['username'])
{
$thread['username'] = $thread['threadusername'];
$thread['profilelink'] = $thread['threadusername'];
}
else
{
$thread['profilelink'] = build_profile_link($thread['username'], $thread['uid']);
}

Replace:

$thread['author'] = $thread['uid'];
        if(!$thread['username'])
        {
            $thread['username'] = $thread['threadusername'];
            $thread['profilelink'] = $thread['threadusername'];
        }
        else
        {
            $userformat = get_user($thread['uid']);
            $thread_format = format_name($userformat['username'], $userformat['usergroup'], $userformat['displaygroup']);
            $thread['profilelink'] = build_profile_link($thread_format, $thread['uid']);
        }

But if i dont want use any plugins(because i have it much)? is posible to make that by hands what i want? Im sure that need change something in search.php and usercp.php

im talking about colored names on this links:

/search.php?action=getdaily
/search.php?action=getnew
/usercp.php

EDIT: ok, im almost finished usercp.php, just have 1 problem. On my first Your Latest Thread i dont see my name. What im missed?

$thread['replies'] = my_number_format($thread['replies']);
$thread['views'] = my_number_format($thread['views']);
$thread['author'] = build_profile_link($thread_format, $thread['uid']);
$userformat = get_user($thread['uid']);
$thread_format = format_name($userformat['username'], $userformat['usergroup'], $userformat['displaygroup']);

screen: http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/5665/82849218.jpg

EDIT2: fixed usercp.php

$thread['replies'] = my_number_format($thread['replies']);
$thread['views'] = my_number_format($thread['views']);
$userformat = get_user($thread['uid']);
$thread_format = format_name($userformat['username'], $userformat['usergroup'], $userformat['displaygroup']);
$thread['author'] = build_profile_link($thread_format, $thread['uid']);

EDIT3:
thanks, i finished it by self on search.php and on usercp.php was not so hard
