Re: About RANKINGS

Oh, yeah, sorry m8!
I meant, the custom title, if i have the admin pic, and go to profile, and enter lets say "god", that wont appear, ok i got that!
But are the other members abel to put a name in custom title, besides having a rank-pic?

As i said before, i think its ok as it is!

By the way, heres the link: http://www.the-saint.se/forum/index.php
(its in swedish tho, but you'll notice the pics 'n stuff, i changed ure admin pic to 3 red stars, and mod to 2 red stars)

Anyway, about the admin img, its proportions is 126 pix wide, but can i cut it down to less?

Re: About RANKINGS

Have you both got it working now.

Sorry, my hosts are upgrading their servers and because its mainly for business use they do it late at night.

The file that is there now includes a fix which allows titles for mods and admins as well as a graphic. You can use custom titles for everybody but they should still get ranked according to the number of posts they have made.

If everything worked OK then your sites should look like my test site. You can use any graphics you want as long as they fit in the column.

They only thing you can't do is to have different graphics for individual members of the same rank. For instances, if you have mods with titles of mod, supermod and ultramod they all get the same graphic because they are all moderators. I am going to have a good look at invisionbaord and phpbb to see how they handle it and then come up with v2 of this mod.

If you want it to work differently let me know, it really is very easy to change things.

There is only one line of code different between the two versions of ranking.php. It is on line 8 and reads $info .= '<br>'."\n\t\t\t\t\t\t".$user_title;.

If you want to get rid of titles for mods and admins then you can simply comment it out like this //$info .= '<br>'."\n\t\t\t\t\t\t".$user_title;. Remember if you do this you also get rid of custom titles for mods and admins.

I just had a look at your board. What might look good is to have different colour stars above rank 5 i.e. Grandmasters. What I mean is for ranks 1 to 5 you get the normal blue stars say 3 bright blue stars and 2 dull blue stars. Above rank 5 you get red stars so a Grandmaster would get 5 bright blue stars plus one red star.

Re: About RANKINGS

I have put up another version on the test site. This is how I would do it if I had a board with lots of ranks. Makes it easier to spot the top posters.

Re: About RANKINGS

The new alternative versionis available for download as RankingMod2.zip at
http://www.post21.co.uk/psfiles

The way it works is that normal ranks get blue stars upto 5
At rank 6 members start to get red stars
Mods gets blue stars + red stars + 1 gold star
Admins get 2 gold stars.

If you want to change the number of normal ranks open ranking.php and change the value of $nrank (its at the top).

Everything else works as before. If you want graphics for mods and admins they still replace the stars.

Re: About RANKINGS

Thanks. Glad to have been of help. As for being skilled, not really, but its surprising how far you can get with just a basic knowledge. I should thank you. I'm trying to learn php and the best way to learn coding is a real project, even a small one. Much more fun than reading a book.

Now for version 2, configure it through admin, name the graphics files anythng you like, upload graphics files just like avatars  smile

Give me a chance, I haven't written it yet smile
I was talking about an updated version of the current mods not the alternative version with the different colour pips.

Re: About RANKINGS

I have come up with yet another variation. In keeping with PunBB's lean and mean design I now have a version which does not use any graphics.  Take a look at

http://www.post21.co.uk/forum

This has only been tested with IE6 and Firebird. I would be grateful if some people could test this using other browers and let me know how it looks. Forget version 4 browsers, it disintegrates in spectacular fashion but then so does PunBB so I don't suppose it matters.

[EDIT]

Thanks to dues I now know it doesn't work in IE5 but seems to work perfectly in current versions of Opera and Mozilla. More tinkering to be done then.

I never updated it. It's really simple to do in 1.2 so I didn't bother.
