This is my first 'mod' so bear with me
As always, backup any files edited, so you can replace it easily, if you break anything.
Originally done by Delinquently Insane, and found at
http://yabbse.sourceforge.net/community/index.php?board=158;action=display;threadid=7350;start=0, I decided to bring this up to date for 1.4.1. Now, I'm by no means a PHP expert, nor YaBB knowledgeable, but I am fairly good at HTML
Remember that this IS technically a direct 'rip-off' of Delinquently Insane's coding, though I just went through, made it work for 1.4.1, as well as made it so that you can click on the person's name to view their profile, *in the old version I believe, you couldn't* I also made it, just for the sake of doing it, so that every name on the 'Who's Online' is highlighted in the fun, default color. By looking at the code itself, you can disable this by putting a </table> after every </a> in the code. You can also, obviously, change to what color you would like the 'highlight' color to be, for each different user group
Anyways, it's very easy to do, and full credit should go out to Delinquently Insane, I just went through and brought it up to date with 1.4.1

To remove the commas after the 'special groups' names, and only have it so that 'normal members' put the comma down, do the following:
<search for>
$users = "<font size=1>".implode(", ",$tmpusers)."</font>";
</search for>
<replace>
$users = "<font size=1>".implode(" ",$tmpusers)."</font>";
</replace>
<search for>
$tmpusers[] = "<a href=\"$scripturl?action=viewprofile;user=$euser\">$tmp[realName]</a>";
</search for>
<replace>
$tmpusers[] = "<a href=\"$scripturl?action=viewprofile;user=$euser\">$tmp[realName]</a>";
</replace>
Doing it this way, having the normal members using a comma, with the member groups not, makes it look a little better in my opinion. But only with this mod. Having the commas, and the highlights, tends to make it kind of..bleed. Unfortunately, if you do this, it will include a comma after ALL normal members. If there's only one signed on, it will show their name, and then a comma right after. It's best just to remove the comma entirely, in my opinion.
If, for some reason, you want to give the 'normal' users / visitors to the page a color, then do this:
<search for>
else
$tmpusers[] = "<a href=\"$scripturl?action=viewprofile;user=$euser\">$tmp[realName]</a>";
</search for>
<replace>
else
$tmpusers[] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=YOURCOLORHERE, strength=8)\"><a href=\"$scripturl?action=viewprofile;user=$euser\"><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$tmp[realName]</b></font></a>,</table>";
</replace>
Obviously, replace the YOURCOLORHERE with the name of your chosen color
I do believe, that with this current setup, the names are displayed one after the other, and if the 'normal' quests do not have a color chosen for them, then they will have a highlighted color about them, by default as a result of bleeding. More testing on my part fill prove or disprove that, as well as a fix for that. But for now I just wanted to get this up there before I forgot all of what I did
You can see it in action here:
http://www.ufba.org/forum/index.phpJust out of curiousity, anybody know why the member groups YaBB SE Developer, and Mod Team, are still around?
I could've sworn that the only member groups in a normal download, are Admin, and Global Mods.. yet there's 'support' for them in the boardindex.. Another Easter Egg, perhaps?
Since my board doesn't have any of those member groups, and I'm guessing most normal boards don't, you can simply remove that part of the coding.
Changed to DONE status, as it seems like nobody's really complained about it, so I guess it works.
