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>

This is probably an even better way to do it. To avoid using !important.

 

<style type="text/css"> 
.lia-body .lia-content a, .lia-body .lia-content a:link.rankcolor  {color: #ff0000;} 
.lia-body .lia-content a, .lia-body .lia-content a:active.rankcolor  {color: #ff0000;} 
.lia-body .lia-content a, .lia-body .lia-content a:visited.rankcolor{color: #ff0000;} 
.lia-body .lia-content a, .lia-body .lia-content a:hover.rankcolor {color: #ff0000;}   
</style>
