i am not sure if this has been discussed or implemented but it was asked on the first page of this topic: the question was if this mod colors written usernames in posts

so if i create a new topic or reply to a topic and i write someones name in the textarea of the topic does this mod color that username?

like if this mod is installed in this board i am writing this text here and the user mtrs has a custom color like red then mtrs should not be mtrs but mtrs or even better mtrs

does this mod support this ? or does anyone know about a mod who does this ?

i have tried to use word censoring but it writes the code in the post but does not execute the code

No, it does not. It is not designed to change usernames in textarea.

does this mod support this ? or does anyone know about a mod who does this ?

This mod does not support that. But, this mod has quick nick instertion at viewtopic which you may be interested in.

Edit: typo

thanks, i'll check it out ... and too bad it does not change the color within the text

here is something else:

there's a bug which i think is quite serious: when you add existing users to a group the board crashes (can't explain now because i didn't make a screenshot but you get something like parse error because of blabla and it has something to do with user color change) ... will have to try later or you can try for yourself

and: it would be nice if your mod could also change the color of the logged in user where it says Logout [ ghx666 ] on the top right corner

i just tried setting up a new user using the acp add user mod

now i get the following error:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Unknown column 'user_colour_change' in 'where clause' [1054]

SQL

SELECT user_id FROM phpbb_users WHERE user_colour_change = 0 AND user_id = 56

the new user has been added to phpbb_users though, but for example is not showing up in our newest member

how can i fix this so i don't get this error adding new users

and i don't remember getting any errors installing your mod and the acp add user mod

[ghx666]

i also have checked phpbb_users for that field/column but it does not exist

i did install your mod using automod from this zip file: Username_Colour_Change_MOD_v1-0-2.zip

so far i have had no problems installing other mods and running them ... but with the acp add user mod i get the above mentioned error and it looks like i am not the only one ...

maybe you can post an sql statement which i can simply execute in phpmyadmin so this field gets added to the database (if that would fix the problem)

and of course you should update your mod download too

No, you should read DIY section in install.xml of this mod, and run database update script.

Is it possible to affect global moderators(only administrators and founders are not affected) by "Similar username colour control", so they could not choose admin similar colour.

[ghx666]

so you prefer not to fix this bug which it obviously is? because either i can install a mod using automod or i simply shouldn't be able to install it using automod if it is not working!

Automod only runs sql queries that are set as such within the MODX file, database installers are to be run by the individual that installs the mod (for now).

[ghx666]

then why didn't i have any problems installing like 15 other mods which seem to work just fine

anyway

can you tell me exactly what to do here?

i tried running /board/store/mods/Username_Colour_Change_MOD_v1-0-2/root/install_usercolour.php but i get 403 access forbidden

either i am not supposed to run it from there which means i will have to copy the files from this mod to another directory ??? or i am doing something else wrong ... please let me know ... thanks

[RMcGirr83]

Code: Select all

/board/store/mods/Username_Colour_Change_MOD_v1-0-2/root/install_usercolour.php

try instead

Code: Select all

/board/install_usercolour.php

[ghx666]

thank you very much, it worked and there are no more errors when adding new users with that other mod

sorry about me beeing kinda rude here but sometimes it's really frustrating, hope you understand

peace
