Glow titles problem please HELP

[lucy]

Hi there,

Ok we posted a thread about glowing titles we have managed to get usernames to glow which is actually not what we want to do we want to get the user titles to glow..

OK I compromised and thought that the code will be bascially the same for the user titles but it isn't showing correctly it shows the glow underneath the username OK but it replaces the users title with this:

6==7

I have ecnclosed the template as a txt file below could someone take a look and tells us where we have gone wrong as this is starting to furstrate us

Thanks

Lucy and Zara

Thanks so much for your help

could you just explain what exactly you did here? i can't see what those things you attached are...

Okay, what I did was just tidy up some of the HTML from Lucy's original template, then used a <table> with glow attributes to surround the $post[usertitle] variable.

The template up there will actually highlight ALL members' user titles, but if you wanted to only affect the title of moderators, you would need to do the following:

1) Find this in the template above:
<table style="filter:glow(color=orange,strength=6"><smallfont><b>$post[usertitle]</b></smallfont></table>and replace it with this
[code]<smallfont><b>$post[usertitle]</b></smallfont>
2) Next, open your usergroup manager, and enter a custom title for your moderators, but surround that title with the <table> tags that you stripped out of the code above.

Hope this helps :)

Why a table tag? Is <div> not the better way?

[Kier]

I dunno... I initially tried a <span> but it had no effect... I saw that <table> tags seemed to work, so I used that.

If <div> tags work too then yes, I would rather use those.

Kier,

Thanks so much on both counts :) we are having a blast at that as I type no doubt we will yell if we have any problems..

Thanks again

<div> does work in place of <table> quite well, I changed ozone's (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24595) BB code tags from <table> to <div> when members were exploiting not closing them, causing the post to be very screwed up :)
