Topic: Rank Icons (Pips) for 1.3

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of setting up the latest version of PunBB to replace my old 1.2.15 site.  I just love the new version, especially the extensions.  So far, I've managed to find an extension for just about everything I need, but the one thing I cannot find, is a way to add Pips, dependent on a user's rank.

I really don't care if it's an extension or a mod that requires a bit of code editing, I just want the pips!!   big_smile

I've searched high and low and googled until my fingers bled, but I just can't find anything.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,

Re: Rank Icons (Pips) for 1.3

Thank you for the reply.  I actually did come across that extension, but it seems to be geared towards setting a specific image for each rank.  What I'm looking for is something that will add 1 pip for each rank achieved.  I have this on my current forum, and I think it was a mod that I found in the old wiki, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, here is an example of what I'm after.  The pip itself can be whatever icon I decide to use.

Rank 1 ~ 0-50 posts: no pips
Rank 2 ~ 51-100 posts: 1 pip
Rank 3 ~ 101-300 posts: 2 pips
Etc.

Are you aware of anything like that?  Or were you suggesting that I could use Group Images extension to do this, but it would require some tweaking first?

Thanks again.

Re: Rank Icons (Pips) for 1.3

I'm not aware of any such extension...
Yes, I was suggesting you use group images, if it works...

Will be good if you find the mod code and post it here for anyone who wants to help...

Re: Rank Icons (Pips) for 1.3

Ok, I'll see if I can track it down.

And I guess if the Group Images extension does work, I can just make little images that look like pips.  smile

Re: Rank Icons (Pips) for 1.3

Ok, I found this thread, and the 5th post down has the same code that I used.

I talked with the mod creator (Ju) very nice person!

and he told me what to do..

this is the mod:

open "viewtopic.php"

find:

    $post_count++;
    $user_avatar = '';
    $user_info = array();
    $user_contacts = array();
    $post_actions = array();
    $is_online = '';
    $signature = '';

    // If the poster is a registered user.
    if ($cur_post['poster_id'] > 1)
    {

after add:

        $rank_pips = "";
        if($cur_post['num_posts'] > 5000) { $num_pips = 10; }
        elseif($cur_post['num_posts'] > 3000) { $num_pips = 9; }
        elseif($cur_post['num_posts'] > 2000) { $num_pips = 8; }
        elseif($cur_post['num_posts'] > 1000) { $num_pips = 7; }
        elseif($cur_post['num_posts'] > 500) { $num_pips = 6; }
        elseif($cur_post['num_posts'] > 300) { $num_pips = 5; }
        elseif($cur_post['num_posts'] > 100) { $num_pips = 4; }
        elseif($cur_post['num_posts'] > 50) { $num_pips = 3; }
        elseif($cur_post['num_posts'] > 10) { $num_pips = 2; }
        else { $num_pips = 1; }

        for($pip=0; $pip<$num_pips; $pip++) {
            $rank_pips .= '<img src="img/pip.gif" alt="" />';
        }

Find:

           <dl>
                    <dt><strong><?php echo $username ?></strong></dt>
                    <dd class="usertitle"><strong><?php echo $user_title ?></strong></dd>

After, add :

                    <?php echo "<dd class=\"usertitle\">".$rank_pips."</dd>\n"; ?>

Save viewtopic.php and upload (overwrite)

I didn't creat this mod... all the credit goes to "Ju" !

I suppose I could use that as a starting point and mod 1.3 to do the same thing.  When I first used that code several years ago, I didn't know anything about PHP, but I've been scripting in PHP for a couple of years now and can probably figure it out.

I might even try my hand at making a real extension for this if I can locate any guides/tutorials on writing extensions.   smile
