hello all, I am trying to classify a subgroup of members so that I can make their names show up as different colors. I have seen previous posts with code that checks administrator and moderator status, but these members will be neither. Is there a way to ad another value for the user_status field? I don't want to mess with 0,1,2, and obviously not 3, as I don't know the scope of how all of them are used or referenced.

I also would rather stay away from user_title as we do a lot of personalized titles for members that don't follow the standard post count title declaration. Would I be better off creating another variable in the gforum_User table to check for?

TIA

Hi,

If its just the template stuff you wanna show different bits for - just add it as a new field to the "User" table. Something like: custom_status CHAR(255)

Then, edit the templates so you have something like:

Hope that helps.
