The "Simple Colored Usergroups" MOD developed by kkroo, and its SCU_global patch are quite popular among phpBB2 admins and it's often used with other MODs.  So several phpBB2 admins might have noticed the usernames aren't colored in blocks or pages added by MOD installations, such as subforums and birthdays.

For this reason, I open this topic in order to propose patches to adapt Simple Colored Usergroups to frequently used MODs.  These addons have been tested on a local phpBB 2.0.22 board.

Here is the list of addons.
[list=1][*] Add-on for Simple Subforums MOD
[*] Add-on for Birthday MOD
[*]Add-on for Watched Topics MOD
[*]Add-on for Admin Userlist MOD[/list:o]

More add-ons might come later, as I do local testing.

1- Add-on for Simple Subforums MOD

4- Add-on for Admin Userlist MOD

Even if the Admin Userlist MOD is provided with a patch for colored usergroups, this patch isn't compatible with kkroo's Simple Colored Usergroups MOD.

So, if you use kkroo's MOD, follow these directions :

OPEN

[code:1]admin/admin_userlist.php[/code:1]

FIND

[code:1]            $style_color = '';
            if ( $row['user_level'] == ADMIN )
            {
                $row['username'] = '<b>' . $row['username'] . '</b>';
                $style_color = 'style="color:#' . $theme['fontcolor3'] . '"';
            }
            else if ( $row['user_level'] == MOD )
            {
                $row['username'] = '<b>' . $row['username'] . '</b>';
                $style_color = 'style="color:#' . $theme['fontcolor2'] . '"';
            }[/code:1]

REPLACE WITH

[code:1]            // SIMPLE COLORED USERGROUPS MOD START
            $style_color = ($user_color = color_groups_user($row['user_id'])) ? 'style="font-weight:bold;color: #' . $user_color . '" ' : '';
            $username = '<span ' . $style_color . '>' . $username . '</span>';
            // COLOR GROUPS END[/code:1]
