Highlight Threads made by Premium members?

[Quiver]

Basically, what I'd like to do is highlight threads made by premium members, so they stand out better in the list of threads in a forum. I only want this feature enabled in certain forums, though. Any ideas how I can implement something like this?

 

[icke]

So what would I need to do if I wanted to highlight threads where a certain usergroup has posted in?

 

[Chris D]

That would need an add-on with custom PHP code.

Reason being, the thread list doesn't know the details of every single post in every single thread. All it knows about is the details you see in the thread list itself.

If it was pulling a record of every single post and who created that post and what usergroups each user is in, the page would probably never load because it's a lot of data

This is how you highlight a thread which was created by a member of a certain usergroup:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/highlight-threads-made-by-premium-members.49986/#post-534929

But that's all you'd be able to do really.

You've got the details of the very last poster in the thread record so you could highlight the thread if the last poster was in a certain usergroup but that's hardly worthwhile as that information changes so often.

Ah, that's a shame. Thanks anyways.

I found this thread via google. I would like to do this but I would like to do it for threads that are not in a certain forum. For example, if the thread is not in our off topic forum, I would like to have the threads highlighted on the new posts and recent posts pages.

 

[Chris D]

My post should have the solution:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/highlight-threads-made-by-premium-members.49986/#post-534929

Part of the code I recommend adding in red (scroll to the right in the code box) has a condition to check if {$thread.node_id} == 9999. You will want to change that to something like {$thread.node_id} != 9999 where 9999 is the node ID for your OT forum.

Does anyone know how to make .discussionlistitem .stats continue or use the same css as .discusionlistitem .premium? Please check the picture. I would like to use a box shadow for the thread, but when I use the same code fot the stats it has the box shadow on the sides. I want it to just be on the top and bottom so it just looks like a continuation of the discussionlistitem style, i.e one highlight, instead of 2.

So Ideally the highlight, would be on continuous highlight, instead of breaking up when it gets to the stats area.

Did you ever figure this out?

This is what it looks like now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xdfxczgw4jf0yku/Screenshot 2013-10-21 16.23.16.png

Ok, so I just realized that this doesn't just affect the Recent Post and New Post pages lol. So how can I make it only affect those two pages?

 

[RobParker]

So you currently have this in your code:

AND {$thread.node_id} == 18

You would want to do something like:

AND in_array({$thread.node_id}, array(18,19,20))

Can that be used within a post?

Say I want to colour the post background started by a specific usergroup in a specific forum.

i.e. is thread.node_id accessible from within the post code?

 

[Chris D]

Yep, should be. If not then node_id might be available in {$post.node_id}

 

[RobParker]

I'm a bit confused how I should do this now for XF2?

I want to colour a post background if the poster belongs to a specific usergroup. Is it the post macros template I edit?

 

[Chris D]

Yeah under the post macro which is inside the <xf:macro name="post" ... block.

Find:

message message--post js-post

And add directly after, something like:

{{ $post.User.isMemberOf('999') ? 'your-class-name' : '' }}

And of course change 999 to whatever your specific usergroup is, and add styling to extra.less, similar to:

.your-class-name
{
    background-color: red;
}

 

[RobParker]

Thanks! Can I specify that for a particular forum as well?

 

[Chris D]

Sure

{{ ($post.User.isMemberOf('999') AND $thread.node_id == 123) ? 'your-class-name' : '' }}

 

[RobParker]

Thanks!

.your-class-name
{
    background-color: red;
}

This should be;

{{ $post.User && $post.User.isMemberOf('999') ? 'your-class-name' : '' }}

Otherwise posts by guest/deleted users will cause template errors

Thanks for the info!

I would like to highlight the replies of the premium members inside threads, any help?

Thank you

Thank you

Same question here

BTW, I'm not able to achieve any highlight

Tried at post_macros:

<article class="message message--post {{ $uix_condensed ? 'uix_message--condensed' : '' }} js-post js-inlineModContainer
{{ $post.User && $post.User.isMemberOf('3') ? 'your-class-name' : '' }} {{ $isIgnored ? 'is-ignored' : '' }} {{ $post.isUnread() ? ' is-unread' : '' }}"
        data-author="{{ $post.User.username ?: $post.username }}"
        data-content="post-{$post.post_id}"
        id="js-post-{$post.post_id}">

Extra.less:

.your-class-name
{
    background-color: red;
}

But got no results.
Any change at XF2.1?

 

[Breixo]

@Chris D @Xon any clue?
Not sure if I need to add something like
.message .your-class-name

CSS is not my strength

Thanks in advance!

 

[Breixo]

Any clue? I tried adding

{{ $post.User && $post.User.isMemberOf('999') ? 'your-class-name' : '' }}

at several places but no results
