Basic post border color by gid

Due to a basic request for the likes of such here: https://community.mybb.com/thread-148832...pid1332871 * and for their specific needs all they wanted was the post border to reflect usergroup color, and as there are plenty of ways to do such...

Here is a simple start you can simply diy via css for your specific purposes and further expand upon for a simple example:




Add to global.css:

/** Gid Postbody Border CSS  **/

/** All if needed **/

.gidpostbody {
/* here */
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

/** Define by group id **/

.gidpostbody_4 {
/* define border gid 4*/
   border: 1px solid #008000;
}

.gidpostbody_4:hover {
/* define border gid 4 */
   border: 1px dotted #008000;
}

.gidpostbody_6 {
/* define border gid 6 */
   border: 1px solid #CC00CC;
}

.gidpostbody_6:hover {
/* define border gid 6 */
   border: 1px dotted #CC00CC;
}

.gidpostbody_3 {
/* define border gid 3 */
   border: 1px solid #CC00CC;
}

.gidpostbody_3:hover {
/* define border gid 3 */
   border: 1px dotted #CC00CC;
}

.gidpostbody_2 {
/* define border gid 2 */
   border: 1px solid #0072BF;
}

.gidpostbody_2:hover {
/* define border gid 2 */
   border: 1px dotted #0072BF;
}

** You would then edit, add, modify to reflect your existing gid #s as you have done with my other previous gid based tutorials...

Now, you can keep adding to this by adding additional "gids" to the css.

MyBB default "gids" are:

 
 [ 1 ] _ Guests
 [ 2 ] _ Registered
 [ 3 ] _ Super Moderators
 [ 4 ] _ Administrators
 [ 5 ] _ Awaiting Activation
 [ 6 ] _ Moderators
 [ 7 ] _ Banned

And same can be done by further adding your non default "gids" to the css.

If you are having a hard time figuring out all your gids you can download getgroups.php attached below and upload it to your forum root directory and visit it by "forum/getgroups.php" and it will display all of your currrent gids by number and name.

Last but not least, you must edit two templates:

In postbit template:

Find:

<div class="post {$unapproved_shade}" style="{$post_visibility}" id="post_{$post['pid']}">

Replace:

<div class="post {$unapproved_shade} gidpostbody gidpostbody_{$usergroup['gid']}" style="{$post_visibility}" id="post_{$post['pid']}">

In postbit classic template:

Find:

<div class="post classic {$unapproved_shade}" style="{$post_visibility}" id="post_{$post['pid']}">

Replace:

<div class="post classic {$unapproved_shade} gidpostbody gidpostbody_{$usergroup['gid']}" style="{$post_visibility}" id="post_{$post['pid']}">
