Code Name: Member Legend
Description: Shows which member group has what color. It's a really simple code, but also my first one, so bear with me.
Where it goes (code): Admin CP -> Manage Styles -> Headers/Footers -> Footers

<br>
<left>
<font color="Insert_Color_Here">[ Insert_Group_Name_Here ]</font>
<font color="Insert_Color_Here">[ Insert_Group_Name_Here ]</font>
<font color="Insert_Color_Here">[ Insert_Group_Name_Here ]</font>
<font color="Insert_Color_Here">[ Insert_Group_Name_Here ]</font>
<font color="Insert_Color_Here">[ Insert_Group_Name_Here ]</font>
</left>

Here's what you have to edit.

Change the part that's in red to the name or number of the color. Names of colors are red, blue, green etc. Numbers of colors are #FFFFFF, #E5E3C1 etc.
Change the part that's in green to the name of the Member Group, such as Member, Veteran and Newbie.

To add more groups to the legend, simple insert another

Quote
<font color="Insert_Color_Here">[ Insert_Group_Name_Here ]</font>

Below or above the other one, depending on where you want the name to appear. You can insert as many groups as you want, as long as you don't run out of board wrapper space.

Also, if you would like your member legend to be on the right side of your forum, simply use <right></right> tags instead of <left></left> tags. If you want the legend to be at the center of your forum, use <center></center> tags.

If you want Names to be bolded, simply wrap it in <b></b> tags. Italicized names go in <i></i> tags. Underlined names go in <u></u> tags and lined through names go in <s></s> tags.

Also, if someone made a code very similar to this one, then I apologize and this thing may be locked or even removed.

Also, all criticism is appreciated.

Change the part that's in blue to the URL of the Member Group. To get the URL, click "Members" at the top of your forum and search for the desired group by unchecking everything except for "Search by Position". Note that I'm not too sure about this one. Tell me if this information is incorrect.

I realized there already was one out there. However, I thought it would be nice to have an extra one. It gives the members a little bit more choice.

Also, before somebody comes in saying it, I know this is really basic HTML, but I am still learning it.

Tino Hi.  Might be a good idea to post a small screenshot of how it will look so they can see it and know if they want to do it this way or not  Wink

Ah, yes. Sorry. A screenshot is on the way Wink

EDIT: Also, I changed the code a little bit, because the linking part doesn't seem to work, for there are no links to certain groups.

EDIT2: Preview is up now.
