Color Circles for Groups

clarkwinkelmann

I have seen some rendering issues in the past but I really have no idea how I would be able to fix them.

If there's an obvious solution I'll implement it but otherwise I can't help much with this.

Maybe Flarum or some extension causes the avatar to be aligned with half-pixels and the browser has trouble rendering the border properly? Or it could be due to some desktop scaling or hardware acceleration thing. Who knows 😅

I'm temporary disabled this extension 🙁

Version 1.0.1

Silence javascript errors if the user groups have not been loaded.

This "fixes" incompatibility with some other extensions by silencing the javascript errors.

If a third-party extension fails to load the user groups, Color Circles will still be unable to get the color and it will default to no color.

Due to how the Flarum API was implemented, Color Circles cannot tell the difference between a user without group and a user whose groups have not been loaded, so no error/warning message has been added as it would otherwise flood the developer console on every page load for every user without any group.

The extension has also been updated to Webpack 5 and therefore requires Flarum 1.2 or higher.

I'm searching and I can't find something similar to what I would like to implement.
There is something to assign a color to the entire post based on the group.

This was very common in the warcraft forums, the admin had their posts in blue.

Code1990 I don't think such an extension exists for Flarum at this time.

If someone wanted to implement it, then a look at this extension source code would definitely give half of the logic needed. Other half is replacing the Avatar selection code with the correct CommentPost element.

I'm not planning any update of this extension at the moment, but a more universal solution would be to replace the inline CSS code with an inline CSS variable with the group color on the .Post element. Then anyone would be able to customize where the color is applied just by editing the custom CSS. That's probably how I would do the extension if I re-wrote it today.
