XF 1.5 Is it possible to add a userbanner on someone without adding to a usergroup?

- I want to give User A a userbanner or the thing below the avatar.
- Is it possible that I give him a banner without adding him to another group>?

 

I think you can do that with a template conditional.

 

This was supposed to be an award for an individual.

 

one way is to create a new custom user field called "award"

also tick "viewable in message user info"

I have mine unticked cause I use a conditional on the "message_user_info" template.
have it only editable by mod then for value display:
<img src="{$value}"/>

another way is to edit the message_user_info template directly with a conditional.

 

Thanks for the help. Is there a tutorial on how to do this?
