Released AIXF Rich Usernames 2.3.7.a
- Author fords8
- Creation date
### What are “rich usernames”?
Rich usernames are usernames rendered with group styling, banners, and other formatting instead of plain text.
---
### Why would I want this add-on?
XenForo does not consistently enable rich usernames in lists such as forum views, poll voters, or thread listings. This add-on gives administrators fine-grained control over where rich usernames appear.
---
### Can I enable rich usernames in some places but not others?
Yes. Each supported location has its own ACP toggle.
---
### Does this affect message postbits?
No. This add-on only affects:
- forum/node listings
- poll voters
- thread list displays
Postbit rendering is untouched.
---
### Will this work with custom styles?
Yes. The add-on uses regex-based template modifications that are resilient to whitespace, formatting, and attribute ordering differences.
---
### What if another add-on also edits the same templates?
Execution order determines which modification applies last. This add-on forces the `rich` value to match your ACP option, even if another modification already set it.
---
### Does this add-on add any database tables?
No. It is template-only and very lightweight.
---
### Does this impact performance?
No measurable impact. The changes are applied at template compile time, not per-request.
---
### Is this XenForo 2.4 compatible?
The add-on is written for XenForo 2.3.7+. It is expected to be compatible with 2.4 unless XenForo changes the affected templates.
---
### How do I uninstall it?
Uninstall via the Admin Control Panel. No data is left behind.
---
### Can this be extended to other areas?
Yes. You can request other areas.
---
### Can this be done with template edits?
Yes it can be. Have a look here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/rich-usernames.226627/#post-1715682
