Rank Hack?

[thunderchild]

Anyone know how to change the rank display. So that 1] You can add more ranks 2] Put single images instead of a multitude of stars?

And as I dont fully understand PHP, yet, although Im learning, can It be 'easy' to do? [if easy is possible to acheve?]

[Dave A]

Look for:

Code Select Expand

   /* create the memberinfo and memberstars entries */
   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=\"*\">";
   }
   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=\"*\">";
   }
   elseif( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $FullPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[4]";
      $memberstar[$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=\"*\">";
   }
   elseif( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $JrPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[3]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\">";
   }
   else {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[2]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\">";
   }

   /* If this user is a moderator, and we aren't calling this from the IM */
    $modcheck=LoadRealName($user);

   if( isset ($moderators[$modcheck]) && $sender != "im") {
      $modinfo[$user] = "<i>$membergroups[1]</i><BR>";
      $memberstar[$user] = "</font><img src=\"$imagesdir/starmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/starmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/starmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/starmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/starmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\">";
   }
   if( $userprofile[$user]['memberGroup'] == 'Administrator' ) {
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/staradmin.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/staradmin.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/staradmin.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/staradmin.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/staradmin.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\">";
      $memberinfo[$user] = "<B>$membergroups[0]</B>";
   }
   if( $userprofile[$user]['memberGroup'] == 'Global Moderator' ) {
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/stargmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/stargmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/stargmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/stargmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/stargmod.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\">";
      $memberinfo[$user] = "<B>$membergroups[7]</B>";
   }
in Load.php, and each one you can change to a certain amount of stars or change it to one image!

[thunderchild]

so basicly where it says {star code} X5, change it to a single image?

[Dave A]

Yeah, and with the X4, x3, x2 and so on...

[thunderchild]

[Dave A]

Those are nice thunderchild and allan_r!  I may have to do something like you guys!  My forum has the original stars, yuck!  

[Allan_R]

ya I know

[Allan_R]

um I cant understand? How do I do it?  

[curious]

um I cant understand? How do I do it?  

Like this:

Code Select Expand

  /* create the memberinfo and memberstars entries */
   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=\"*\">";
   }Take a look at the code above!
$membergroups[6] are those members with 5 stars. Every <img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"> is one displayed star. Now upload an image of you choice to your image directory (probably YaBBImages). Now replace every "star.gif" in the code above with the name of your image. the image will then be shown 5 times (just like the stars). If you want to display the image only once, you gotta delete the img tags and leave only one.
Should look like this then:

Code Select Expand

  /* create the memberinfo and memberstars entries */
   if( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $GodPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[6]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/myimage.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\">
   }Now do the same for the other membergroups.
I.e.:

Code Select Expand

  elseif( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $SrPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[5]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/myimage2.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\">";
   }

[Godai]

mmmm and what about a mod to this with a panel?

[curious]

I don't need it, but go ahead!

[Godai]

You want it but you'll not use it?

[curious]

I don't need it, but obviously some other guys do.

[PabUK]

I like this mod and have done it myself in my forums. Thanks.

However, there is a problem. Moderators still show up using the original moderator stars, not the new ones I specified. I even searched load.php for the old image filename and it is not in there. Is there another file somewhere I need to change?

I know as a fix I could overwrite the old image with the new mod one but I need to know anyway for a few other ideas I want to implement.

Please help.
