Modify CB Author-bot Hover display was created by JagaTelesin
Did a search, didn't see anything related to this.

We'd like to add a simple custom text field to the CB Author Bot hover display - right aligned on the same line as their username (for a "rank" title per user). I don't see any useful plugin configuration for the Author Bot, so am really just looking for a place to get started - where I can edit the HTML/CSS for that particular hover block and insert a custom field there.

Cheers.

What hover display exactly? It's possible your template could be providing a hover display unless you're referring to the hover canvas usage that can be enabled on the formatname field. Please provide a screenshot for better clarification.

I believe you identified the hover canvas correctly - I did enable it on the formatname field. Attaching a screenshot so you can see it's typical display structure. It's what I'm looking to modify to add the single custom text field to.

Edit the formatname field within CB > Field Management then under Display you should see a "Hover Canvas Content" parameter. This lets you customize the contents of the hover canvas. By default it just displays the online status and formatname field. You can completely override this to display whatever you like though using substitutions. See the below tutorial for substitution usage information.

It also has a trigger that can be used to extend it from CB Auto Actions. Specifically the onHoverCanvasDisplay trigger if you don't want to override the existing content. You'd simply use a Code action with Method set to HTML and under Output set it to "return". This would return your custom HTML and display it in the hover canvas.
