Glowing user group titles.

[Felix2]

Add to css_additional.css

/* Glow Text */
.admin-shadow {
color: #001a00;
font-weight: bold;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #99ff99;
}

.smod-shadow {
color: #33001a;
font-weight: bold;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #f0b3ff;
}

.mod-shadow {
color: #000022;
font-weight: bold;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #5555FF;
}

.vip-shadow {
color: #00001a;
font-weight: bold;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #b2b300;
}
/* Glow Text */

Then, in User Groups/User Group Manager,
Select the user group, such as Administrator, and edit.

Under Username HTML Markup, there are 2 boxes.
In box 1 add <span class="admin-shadow">
In box 2 add </span>

Repeat the process for the other user groups you want to glow, changing admin to match the above code.

This will give an affect like thus-

Registered users are not affected as they are not included.

In addition, you may notice that the Admin sparkles.
This can be accomplished using a background image.

Instead of <span class="admin-shadow">
Use <span style="background: url(images/backround9.gif)" class="admin-shadow">
Where images is the location and background9.gif is the animated image.


Change the text-shadow color values to match your own sites theme.

Hmmm, I am posting this snapshot here, since I can't edit my own posts...

You have a typographical error.
You have <span class="admin-shadow> You are missing the closing quotation. Better to copy/paste.
It should be <span class="admin-shadow">

nothing change !

[Felix2]

I am at a loss
It would appear you have done this properly from your snapshots.
I will have to get more user feedback. Sorry.

please note : my site upgrade from VB4.2.3 to VB5

[Felix2]

It is standard CSS and should not matter.
I have had 2 other users tell me this worked for them.
I just don't know what is different about your site that would break it.
Can you try a different browser?

Test example here.

<style>
.admin-shadow {
color: #001a00;
font-weight: bold;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #99ff99;
}
</style>

<span class="admin-shadow">This is a test of the Glow Text.</span>

I have been able to confirm that vB5.2.3 up have broken code. The above code and method do still work, however, the default theme has changed and not uniformly.
If one goes to the User Profile or Post, they can see the effect has been applied and works.



However, the mainpage/home of the site no longer reflects this.
On vB4x-5.2.1 (not sure about 5.2.2) the default theme uses <a class="js-wol-username has-avatar to display the users name and icon. The User Group manager then allowed for a SPAN wrapper in which this modification could be applied.
On vB5.2.3 (5.2.2?) the theme and User Group manager are broken!
It now uses a <div class="lastpost-by" and the <a no longer has a CLASS defining it.
As a result, the User Group manager can no longer inject the custom code, in this case the SPAN.
While it is simple enough to style the DIV, it affects all users, not just our target group

This seems to be an issue in the display_Forums_item being altered to no longer test IF USER ID conditions.
I think it is more of a Theme issue than a Core issue.
At this time I don't know how to correct it and the test site is in Arabic (using English translation but only in part) which makes it difficult for me.

I suppose this is why a lot of users who have recently upgraded are complaining about simple CSS features no longer working.
Perhaps Glen can resolve this or bring it to the attention of someone who can.
