Hi dean723

Could you provide a link to your forum and a clearer description of what you want to accomplish?

Hey dean723

I'm still not certain exactly what you're after but it sounds like maybe something like this?

... where the list would automatically populate with names of all the groups on the forum? And the colors would automatically display as the color assigned to the display names of the members of each group, as they appear on the particular theme?

I'm not sure how, or even if, this could be done. Maybe someone else can help if this is what you are trying to achieve.

yes but at the bottom of the page when you go over the colors it shows what group is that color. there is a plug in for it but it wont add it to the pages code and wont work so im trying to get it to work. www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/398

Tagging Brian, as this looks to be his plugin - and it doesn't look like there's a support thread for it (which is where I would normally send someone).

I stand corrected, Chris, and admit that I did not do a full search.

However, The Help button in the plugin library just links to the Plugins board and not a support thread. Also, I checked Retread's Quick Links to items in the Proboards Plugin Library which showed there was no support thread - which could have been based off that the plugin has no support thread link.

Right, Lynx

When I created the table in that thread, I was basing the support thread links according to what was provided in the plugin listing in the ProBoards Plugin Library.

I edited that table just now and added the link to the support thread for this plugin. Thanks for tagging me. 🙂

The code that the plugin gives you can be added anywhere that accepts HTML.

If you want it to show alongside the user list on any particular theme you can edit the HTML that produces that in Themes > Layout Templates > Home and put the code wherever you like in there.

Keep in mind that you only have the plugin enabled on some of your themes. In Plugins > Manage you can click on the Edit button next to a plugin to open its permission settings and determine which themes it runs on.
