How to give staff colored names in globals.php ????

[VitalEnd]

Hi, i have tried a lot of thigns and cannot get it to work, i dont really want to have to put an if function for usernames in all the files that displays them so im looking for a function to go into globals.php

This should give users a bold yellow name if they are a donator, red name if they are admin, green if a secretary and a purple for an assistant, if anyone can post anything up here that i can try ill much appreciate it :) THANKS :)

  function username($user_level,$username) {
	$staff_colours = array(
0 => '#000', 
1 => '#fff', 
2 => '#CC0', 
3 => '#FFC', 
5 => '#006'
	);
	$return_data = (array_key_exists($user_level, $staff_colours)) ? '<span style="color: '.$staff_colours[$user_level].';">'.$username.'</span>' : $username ;
return $return_data;
 }
  echo username($ir['user_level'],$ir['username']);

Quoted from (Internal Link)

Next time use the Search Function

Also just incase basically that code would go below your fetch row of $ir and then simple put

$ir['username'] = username($ir['level'],$ir['username']);

(not the best idea though when you call some queries like WHERE username = "'.$ir['username'].'")

It usually doesn't work if you only edit globals.

EDIT: Didnt see cims post, use that; much better and easier :)

For crims, you have to edit every page For this, you dont;

In header.php:

Find $u=$ir['username'];

Below add this and change for others ( for colours ):

if($ir['user_level'] == 2) {
$u = '<span style="color: red;">'. $ir['username'] .'</span>';
$ir['username'] = $u;
}

Erm no you could do it without editing pages but i explained the issue...

Comment about CrimGame's version. Use the global function, then just edit every page you display the username using the function. That would eliminate the username=$ir['.... problem, and it would give you a bit more control over where you can staff color.. where you can't. It may be a pain in the ass, but, taking an hour at top to add something worthwhile is necessary sometimes.
