About This File
With Invision Community 4.4 this plugin is ALMOST no longer needed!
1) Install or upgrade to V14 (or higher).
2) ACP - Members - Profiles - Profile Settings Tab, scroll to the bottom of the page:
Set that to global and save. That should tackle 99% of what this plugin did before.
3) V14 only forces through formatting on forum posts. I will add more exceptions not covered by that global toggle as we find them.
4) V15 adds in the messenger conversation participants block.

For 4.3.6 and lower:
This plugin forces most user links throughout the Invision Community to display member group color/formatting.
This applies in all places where the \IPS\Member object is used to produce links to a member.
Your user name in the cover photo and also on profile hovercards (when you cursor over a username/photo and the mini profile appears) remain un-formatted and probably should remain that way as background images will nearly always conflict with the group formatted color and should remain white. See below.
If you are wondering why some areas do not have formatted names and others do that is because there are many different ways the userlink is created throughout the suite. If the IPS\Member object is used the group color will be applied automatically. In EVERY other instance additional coding is required. Sometimes easy, other times not.
Search and Stream Results are particularly challenging as they actually involve language files with variable passed directly to the language construct. As is right now you will see Search and Stream Results do have group formatting applied but the trailing possessive does not - i.e. Fate's topic. There may be away around this but it will require new language bits and that means translations and so on...
Version 12 is 4.3 compatible and FREE - find it attached below.
Version 11 is the last compatible version for 4.2 and is also FREE - find it attached below.
Both version 11 and 12 are no longer supported! Version 13 and onward is paid and supported (as far as future Invision Community system changes will allow me)
FREE Group Color on User Link 12 - 4.3 only.xml
FREE Group Color on User Link 11 - 4.2 only.xml
What's New in Version 15 See changelog
Released
- Still for 4.4 and above only!
- By request the messenger conversation participants block, even though not user links, now have group formatting.
- Those of you with super special formatting going on, the structure itself applies <strong> tags. If things look wacky some css to clear the bold on it will work fine.
