Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted July 1, 20159 yr Could you please implement a usergroup title override. For example, if I call my usergroup Administrators, but I can override that name and call them Head Honchos and it will display Head Honchos instead of Administrators on the public access side.
July 2, 20159 yr Author I guess the other way around d would be better. I have Head Honchos and Big Wigs, but I want them to both display Administrators. Having two groups named the same thing can get confusing
July 2, 20159 yr Personally I'd like to see a way to override the personal member title, through a group setting.
July 2, 20159 yr Author I know there is the option for using secondary groups, but there is a downfall to it, or at least I way I cant figure out around it. I want to be able to display messages to people who haven't made any post on the site (since permissions are set by group id). I could make a special group (say called No Posts) for them and make them auto promote once they make their first post, but then it will display No Posts on their profile when I really want it to say Members. But, if I have a group called Members, then I would have to call the No Posts group Members also, which is very confusing on the admin side trying to figure out which is which. Basically my work around now is to do something like add a decimal to one of them.If I created a group called No Posts and set it as a secondary, then they would never promote out of it and I don't have the time to manually go back and change it. Simply being able to have a group called No Posts but being able to have it display Members (or whatever I chose) would really help.
July 2, 20159 yr So what you are looking for is a "group description" field that displays in the admin panel under the group name?
July 2, 20159 yr Author Basically have the Group Name be set to one thing, but in the Group Formatting be editable instead of hard coded. You could have the Group Name as Administrators, but in Group Formatting you could do <span style='color:#ff0000'>Big Wigs</span> That way what ever you entered where the arrow is pointing would show on the public side (in this case it would show Big Wigs instead of Administrators)
July 3, 20159 yr You can do that (technically) without doing anything crazy.<span style='display:none;'></span><span style='color: #FF0000;'>Big Wigs</span>It would still change it in the list where you edit but then the group name is still "Administrators" but the display would be "Big Wigs". Then if you are looking at lists of accesses it will still say Administrators to differentiate.On my member list all of my groups have custom icons that I can change on a whim in the CSS styles as I please.
July 3, 20159 yr No it will not. You put this part in the prefix:<span style='display:none;'>Then in the suffix:</span><span style='color: #FF0000;'>Big Wigs</span>I tested it, it works just fine @ghintonEdit: I did find one bug with it though and that's where it displays formatted names (like the Who is online list) it will disappear usernames. Give me a bit and I will see if I can get something to work for you that you can place in your code. Do you only need it displayed in the Author Pane? (the column to the left)
July 3, 20159 yr Author Ok. I remember trying it in v3 and it didn't behave like that, but I would like it to appear the same everywhere that it is referenced.
July 3, 20159 yr I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but is below what you want?Group: AdministratorsSub-Group (format #1): Head HonchosSub-Group (format #2): Big WigsI guess there are conditionals you can use, but could you create a duplicate group (copy) and rename "Administrators" to "Head Honchos" and "Big Wigs" and format them respectively? Then under "Staff" include both groups as "Administrators".
July 5, 20159 yr Group styling priorities would work out well. Then you just add a user to a secondary group, give that secondary group a higher styling priority and that's what is displayed. The user group styling is a tad bit convoluted compared to what I'm used to.
July 5, 20159 yr Author This feature is common in most other similar programs. The group's name can be called one thing, but a display name can be set to something different.
December 20, 20159 yr Group formatting Pre-box "<!--" post-box "-->Custom titel" This will comment out the original title and place your custom title there instead. You can use this to hide a title as well if you enter no custom title.

I'm struggling with the exact same thing after coming over from XF
August 16, 20177 yr thry this it might work im not sure <if test="$author['members_display_name'] == '$post['author']'"> <p class='desc member_title'>test</p> <else /> {$post['author']['_group_formatted']} </if>

August 16, 20177 yr The simplest way I can explain it is that all the members are in the members group. But I'd like to see a title, "l like to eat Big Mac" based on their secondary group. Would it also be possible to nest these, for those in 2 or 2 secondary groups to see 2 or 3 titles (or ribbons)
