This looks similar to badges addon , but probably I will try it.

So is the idea of this to replace the group banners?

Not necessary. We have a large forum and use groups not only for permission purposes, but to show that some user has some interests. So icons let other members know that someone is a writer or an art-maker, for example. With text banners it takes too much space. But we use text banners for staff groups.

excellent start.....would be awesome to implement a choice of either icon image or Font Awesome Icon....

Is this compatible with XF 2.2?

Can you add a feature for custom user fields? For example after each custom user field add a icon section and if admin define it, show it in postbit in next row separately

Looks like a great addon, will follow this with interest

Would it be possible to have different icons be different widths, rather than requiring all icons to be the same width?

Good idea, I will implement it.

I think, it may be useful. I will try to add this feature.

@Gardolir Yes Please add support for Font Awesome Icon. Also does icon show tooltip about user group banner when mouse hover?

Yes but XenForo's Preview Tooltip. Those are generated in JS (js/xf/core/tooltip.js). See here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/improvement-of-tooltips-tippy-js.172939/#post-1387857

Example:

Is the tooltip viewable on mobile? Not a deal breaker if not....just wondering.

What a fantastic add-on!

This is excellent, but I found one problem.

One of my forums has 29 different usergroups, most are to register them in private subforums.

I am only using this add-on for 3 of those groups.

It worked great until I edited one of the groups that would not normally have an icon. After I saved the (non related) changes, it now shows a broken image on posts. I do not have an image specified for this group. If I hover over the broken image, it tells me the usergroup name.

I tried putting an image in and it displayed, but I would prefer there to be no image for this group (or any others where I did not specify an image)

Do you have any idea why this is happening?



Yes, I have it very large right now at 88 pixels, while testing. The image above is 88 also, with transparent padding.

Thank you for any advice
Rhody

Anyone have a mechanism to hyperlink the icons? I'd like users to be able to click the group icon and be taken to a defined page for that $post.user_id
For example, a group icon for resources, and when clicked the user is taken to the post users listing of resources, eg. /resources/authors/abc.123/
