pmmsn | | [user] tags in H/F (3rd Feb 08 at 12:23am UTC) | | Hey Ross, would it be possible to get something similar to [user] tags to work inside the headers/footers? The reason I ask is that this way, if I'm making a server-side code, I only need to store the username; not the display name as well. Just saves a bit of bandwidth, and that way old database entries don't have to be updated on the coder's end when the user changes their display name.  | |

Such as:
vf.user('admin');
returns: ['admin','Ross','group0']

pmwwwmsnyahooaimgtalk vForum | | Re: [user] tags in H/F (1st Jun 08 at 11:34pm UTC) | | What would a non coder have use for it? will you be able to use if to like:
Admin:[user]admin[ /user]
Mod:[user]User_name[ /user]
and so on.
it be allot easier then:
 Code: - ...
- [url=http://forum_name.vforums.co.uk/action/view_profile/user/user_name/]User Name[/url]

pmwww | | Re: [user] tags in H/F (1st Jun 08 at 11:35pm UTC) | | well a non-coder probably wouldn't benefit from this, unless they requested a code.
It would mean that in indexes etc... just the username would have to be stored nad then displayname can constantly update! | |

pmwwwmsnyahooaimgtalk vForum | | Re: [user] tags in H/F (1st Jun 08 at 11:42pm UTC) | | for the headers and footers not threads, I understand in threads Darkmage™ its something like this
Admin - <user>darkmage</user> so that Darkmage would show up as a link, its much shorter and easier to remember then:
<url=http://forum_name.vforums.co.uk/action/view_profile/user/user_name/>User Name</url> | |

pmwww | | Re: [user] tags in H/F (1st Jun 08 at 11:44pm UTC) | | Well with what we've decided on above, a coder could release a code that'll do that.
So I could write a code where you just do:
<script>
var u = 'admin';
document.write(thelink);
</script>
Which would output the exact link you made. But with the way outlined above, it's more useful instead of the way you wanted it done! | |

pmwwwmsnyahooaimgtalk vForum | | Re: [user] tags in H/F (1st Jun 08 at 11:50pm UTC) | | Oh I see. alright.
what it will be used for is this
and in order to achieve that I would need to put in:
<url=http://forum_name.vforums.co.uk/action/view_profile/user/user_name/>User Name</url>
which is like 3-4 maby even more lines of it.
which gets cluttered at times. | |

Like:
the PM center that I am sorta having trouble with at the moment.
Hey ##username## (if guest) please login or register.
Hey ##username## (if member) You have no new private messages. | |
