Group Colors on User Links

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)

Currently the only difference between version 12 and version 13 is support for status replies is fixed in v13.

At the time of this support topic creation the mod is beer/coffee priced. $7 with $4/year renewal. Just got to the point where the support requests (and patches for IPS changes) took too much time away from other things.

    Just in case anyone is actually following this topic, it appears (haven't seen the code yet though) that the new group formatting feature built in for 4.4 is just doing what this plugin did years ago.

    The only place missing in the IPS feature is topic view (posters name) or elsewhere where name and group appears. In this case, only group is formatted.

Hi,

May I know what is the difference between v12 and v13 since both are IPS 4.3 compatible?

Also, did you (or possibly previous developer?) delete the previous plugin listing? I bookmarked it and it's no longer found. So I found your plugin by manually searching through the marketplace.

Its right there in the description in this thread and the Marketplace listing.

Yes, removed. Both the 4.2 and 4.3 versions are linked here in this topic and in the new Marketplace listing.

Apology. I did try to find out what's the difference, maybe I didn't look at the right thread.

Thanks for your reply. ?

@All Astronauts Hi, I have a problem with your plug after forum update, there is a problem in private messages, I'm sending a screenshot of what I mean.

@All Astronauts I tried to reinstall your plugin, but cannot find it in ACP to do so. Do you know why?

@All Astronauts Yes, yes. I already find it, but I reinstalled, but the problem is still there, I tested on the default theme and the same thing also happens. Could this be the reason for updating IPS to the latest version that was released recently?

I do have group formatting set to Global but then it comes down to the theme itself 😉 doesn't it 🙂 

End of the day with V4 and V4 this is not really needed anymore and I was thinking removing this addon

All the plugin has done for a few years now is just touch up some areas that were overlooked (and that word is probably too harsh - not every area/thing has a need for a formattable name so this is more of an enhancement rather than a fix thing).

To those not on the ball, all the junk will be at allastronauts.com when I turn the lights on. Until then you can enjoy viewing spectacular computing ability, albeit in repetitive GIF form, courtesy of the Legion of Doom.
