Username Colour Change MOD

[brett05]

I will do that. Thank you again.

Hey the MOD looks good. I might install it just to give myself a different color without having to create my own group for myself. Although I can't see the practicality of letting my forum members have this power. Because all the different colors would be really distracting.

We only installed this MOD to change the colour of one particular user without having to setup a while new group. We have not permitted individual users to change their own colour because it wont go with our ranking system and it would appear distracting as you mentioned.

Some people mentioned before, they would sell the username colour change permission to those giving points/cash.

Having said that, I agree that it is not practical to allow anyone to change username colour.

Hello,

I have a problem with this mod,i have 3.0.5 installed and i uploaded the necesary files and edited the files that needed to be edited,i close,save and upload then,and then when i run the installer it gives me this error

Code: Select all

Error General
Language file ./language/es/mods/info_acp_user_colour.php couldn't be opened.

i mean i did everything right,and i reuploaded the info_acp_user_colour.php again twice just in case,but nothing,still same error.

anybody?

Make sure, you have uploaded
root/language/en/mods/info_acp_user_colour.php
language file to
phpBB3/language/es/mods/info_acp_user_colour.php
if not,
upload
root/language/en/mods/info_acp_user_colour.php
to
phpBB3/language/es/mods/info_acp_user_colour.php

i uploaded everything again and uploaded the info_acp_user_colour.php to root/language/en/mods/info_acp_user_colour.php and nothing same error,the files i edited correctly that for sure but for some reason its saying it cannot be opened.any other suggestions?

[mtrs]

I also said
phpBB3/language/es/mods/info_acp_user_colour.php
************
Edit:
If you cannot make it work in that way
Open
install_usercolour.php
Find

Code: Select all

$user->add_lang('install');
$user->add_lang('mods/info_acp_user_colour');

Replace with

Code: Select all

//$user->add_lang('install');
//$user->add_lang('mods/info_acp_user_colour');

Find

Code: Select all

$message = $user->lang['DONE'] . '<br /><br />';
$message .= $user->lang['REMOVE_USERNAME_COLOUR_MOD_INSTALL'];

Replace with

Code: Select all

$message = 'Done  <br /><br /> Remove install_usercolour.php file';

oh lol sorry now its installed,but why did i have to put it in the es/mods folder?

[mtrs]

Your language must be es, so, it looks for missing language file.

ok thank you very much ofr the help.now im having problems,im a little bit confused,on the install file it says

Code: Select all

- You can change disallowed colours options at ACP-> General -> Board Settings
	- Set the new change colour user permission YES for users or groups who should change their own colours at UCP.
	- To change user colour and protect user colour against default group colour changes 
		go to ACP->GENERAL->User administration: User colour
		SET
			Username colour changes: NO

now if i go to acp->board settings all i get is this

Code: Select all

Username colour change
Similar username colour control:
Euclidean distance between allowed and disallowed colours. Decrease this distance to allow more similar username colours. Valid range is between 0 and 650. Enter 0 to disable similarity check.Disallowed colours in usernames:
Administrator and moderator username colours may not be allowed. Enter any additional colours Ex.: AA00FF,1133FF Maximum 255 characters. Administrators and moderators are not affected.

on the Similar username colour control: theres a zero,like to input a number and on the Disallowed colours in usernames: theres the color codes.but theres nowhere on the acp where i can put to yes to let all the users change their user color,i have to manually do it for each user,am i correct?because i dont see it anywhere on the board to set this like this.like it said on the install file.


Edit* so basically the user can change their user color names by default?

[mtrs]

By default, user cannot change username colour, you need set the user permission for this mod.
The other settings can be left as default.
