trying to get usernames to be colored by rank color in a module

Hi,   So here's what I've got so far:   The problem with this^ is that my username is green.  It should be red, because I'm an admin.  Likewise, my Community Guides should be pink, etc.  ...

    Hi,

     

    note that you can also use rest to get the rank color for the user and freemarker to get the user's profile page url:

     

    <#assign rank_display = rest("/users/login/${user.login}/ranking").ranking />
<#assign rank_color = rank_display.display.color />
<#if rank_color != "">
	<#assign rank_color = "style=\"color:#${rank_color}\"" />
</#if>

<a class="lia-link-navigation lia-page-link lia-user-name-link" ${rank_color} target="_self" href="${user.webUi.url}">
	${user.login}
</a>

Hey Jim,

 

The Lithium selector for links is more specific and was taking precedence. Also for some reason your css formatting wasn't working.

 

I was able to get it to work by using !important as follows:

 

<style type="text/css"> 
a:link.rankcolor  {color: #ff0000 !important;} 
a:active.rankcolor  {color: #ff0000 !important;} 
a:visited.rankcolor{color: #ff0000 !important;} 
a:hover.rankcolor {color: #ff0000 !important;}   
</style>

 Hope this helps,

 

Yuri
