     Hi Proboard team, I've been trying to find or even make a BOT plugin for more of 5 months.



  What does it represent? - In my official forum, there are more than 300 members, so it is difficult to help all of them at the same time, so I created BOT accounts in the Forum, to be answering them and helping, every weekend, only some think they are normal users, so do not be aware that it is a help, then going right to the subject, I need of Plugin that puts a BOT sign on the side of the names, to represent them, as an example, I have the of Discord :

I asked the PB Staff about this one for shoutbox in support, and they put it as a feature request. Maybe it's possible in posts if you can make an if statement about what was said in the post, but I don't know if you can do that.

Yes, I have a "bot" that is called forum bot. This is a really necessary feature. I also don't always have time to help so having a interactive bot would be SO helpful 😉 please consider this!

Basically you could have a plugin that has like this:

Command:

Answer:

etc....

When someone posts the command in either a shoutbox or thread, the next post will be the bot answering pretty much. I don't know if it's possible, but I hope it is.

Hello there Ramon666xd,
It should be fairly straightforward.



{if $[user.group] == "Bots"}<div style="color:white; background-color:blue;">Bot</div>{/if}



This is assuming all your Bot accounts are in a group named 'Bot.'

Ramon666xd - If all you're looking for is to have the word BOT displayed, there are a couple of ways you can just display BOT:

1 - Put each BOT account in a Member Group named BOT (or whatever) and have that be the Group name that gets displayed in the profile and mini-profile;

2 - For each BOT account, you can use the Custom Title field (Profile > Edit Profile > Staff Options) and put the word BOT there.

Either of those methods are easy ways to have BOT show for those accounts - no plugin is really needed, based on what you're asking for.

As a note, for these BOT accounts, please be sure that login credentials are not being shared - as that would violate PB's ToS. If each of those BOT accounts are under your email, you should be the only one with the login credentials.

This would not be possible. Plugins cannot submit posts automatically - that would violate PB's Developer Guidelines.

Also, could there be a colour customisation in HEX?
Thanks

Of course!
{if $[user.group] == "Bots"}<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#00ddff;">Bot</div>{/if}
You will have to add things like padding and border-radius to perfect it.
