Member Groups

[GR8X]

Just a couple things I would hope you can help me with...

• Is it possible to add more member groups that are defined by how much karma you have?
  
  
• Is it possible to enable ubbc code on member group names?
  
  
• Is it possible to restrict boards to certain member groups?

The first 2 are not currently possible in YaBBSE and would require a mod.

The third however is in YaBBSE. Just create a membergroup. Then go into the section to manage categories. Then place that group in the categories access part and then that category will only be accessable by that group.

If you aren't scared of messing with the code, open up Load.php and check out how things are defined for membergroups based on posts.

I modded a friend's board to make all their membergroups karma based instead of post based.  It was really easy.

Here is an example:

Code Select Expand


   if ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $GodPostNum)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[6]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
   }



you could change it to something like this:

Code Select Expand


if (($userprofile[$user]['karmaGood'] - $userprofile[$user]['karmaBad']) > 120)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = $txt[rank6];
   }

Chars, I'll try that! Oh and do uz know how to make more member groups like God, Junoir member, ect.
(the ones based around how many posts u have, or in my case karma?)

Looking more at Load.php...  Notice how under GodPostNum there is another line that looks like this:

Code Select Expand


   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $SrPostNum)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[5]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
   }


Well you can add more lines similar to that.  Where is says $memberinfo[user] is where it defines what title they will get... in this case, it is $membergroups[5], which will be whatever you decided to name your Sr Post group.
Just copy and paste the existing membergroups in Load.php and then edit them to suit what you want.  You have to realize, however, that you will have to hardcode in the numbers that determine how much karma they need to get a certain title.

You could make it so you can change the numbers in modsettings, but that would be a lot more difficult than just hardcoding them in.

Here is an example:

Code Select Expand


   /* create the memberinfo and memberstars entries */
   if (($userprofile[$user]['karmaGood'] - $userprofile[$user]['karmaBad']) > 800)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = $txt[rank27];
   }
   elseif (($userprofile[$user]['karmaGood'] - $userprofile[$user]['karmaBad']) > 700)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = $txt[rank26];
   }
   elseif (($userprofile[$user]['karmaGood'] - $userprofile[$user]['karmaBad']) > 680)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = $txt[rank25];
   }
   elseif (($userprofile[$user]['karmaGood'] - $userprofile[$user]['karmaBad']) > 650)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = $txt[rank24];
   }
   elseif (($userprofile[$user]['karmaGood'] - $userprofile[$user]['karmaBad']) > 620)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = $txt[rank23];
   }
   elseif (($userprofile[$user]['karmaGood'] - $userprofile[$user]['karmaBad']) > 590)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = $txt[rank22];
   }


Just make sure that the first one says if and the rest say elseif except for the very last one would should just say else not elseif.

I hope I explained that well enough, if not let me know and I'll try to help you out.

Nope, done exactly what u sed but nothing is happening.
Perhaps u could send me the load.php with these features included in it as this would be very useful to me.  

Can u send attachments on here? If not just send it to my e-mail address.

THANX Anyway

Just the general load.php with no mods attached.
