Rank Hack?

[thunderchild]

er, has anyone heard of YaBB defying its coding?

I edited load.php, as instructed, and now it displays the old stars instead of the nice new comadores rank, here, look at Losers post, and the rank of moderator is supposed to be Comadore, NOT moderator:

http://www.starmadacom.com/yabbse/index.php?board=15;action=display;threadid=22

The pic hes supposed to have is this one:

This is the user pics code [or whatever it is called]:

Code Select Expand

:
   /* create the memberinfo and memberstars entries */
   if( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $GodPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[6]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/ranks/cap.jpg\" border=0 alt=\"Captain\">";
   }
   elseif( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $SrPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[5]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/ranks/com.jpg\" border=0 alt=\"Commander\">";
   }
   elseif( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $FullPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[4]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/ranks/leuc.jpg\" border=0 alt=\"Leutenant Commander\">";
   }
   elseif( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $JrPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[3]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/ranks/leu.jpg\" border=0 alt=\"Leutenant\">";
   }
   else {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[2]";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/ranks/ens.jpg\" border=0 alt=\"Ensign\">";
   }

   /* 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] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/ranks/coma.jpg\" border=0 alt=\"Comadore\">";
   }
   if( $userprofile[$user]['memberGroup'] == 'Administrator' ) {
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/ranks/admin.jpg\" border=0 alt=\"Fleet Admiral\">";
      $memberinfo[$user] = "<B>$membergroups[0]</B>";
   }
   if( $userprofile[$user]['memberGroup'] == 'Global Moderator' ) {
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/ranks/adm.jpg\" border=0 alt=\"Admiral\">";
      $memberinfo[$user] = "<B>$membergroups[7]</B>";
   }

Read my post just before yours, that sounds like the same problem.

My only guess is that the mod bit is added somewhere else, however that is possible.

[PabUK]

I fixed my problem - the moderator image comes from Display.php.

Hm I understand, but how can I add more Ranks?

I tried it so:

Code Select Expand

   if( $userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $SomewhatPostNum ) {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[7]";
      $memberstar[$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=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/star.gif\" border=0 alt=\"*\">";
   }
   elseif( $userprofile[$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=\"*\">";
   }

But it don't work

[Matt Siegman]

just hard code the numbers, otherwise, you have to mess with the admin center...

[thunderchild]

I fixed my problem - the moderator image comes from Display.php.

Could you quote where it is in display.php, i cant seem to find it at all, and please someone tell us how to add more ranks! PLEASE, my users are after my blood for more ranks, and for that matter more smilies.  

---> EDIT <---

just hard code the numbers, otherwise, you have to mess with the admin center...

Could you please explain your self? Please!

[Matt Siegman]

instead of: $OtherRankPosts use 500

[thunderchild]

So, add as many new ranks as needed, but dont bother with the admin center stuff?

edit--> Right Ive got my moderator rank pin working, now I cant get the name to change from moderator to Comadre, any one got any ideas?

[Big P]

Calm down children! Natt have you forgot this is what we're making? Anyone familiar with dOCda's Add more member groups hack will know whats going on   I have a good bit done so far, but its still a good bit off completion..

[thunderchild]

Iam calm, but my members are after me!

And, most of them are in my form, imagine 15 angry 15/16 year olds after you!  

But seriously, got any ideas on my problem?

[Big P]

I know, I'm still using the Perl version 'til I get this hack done, as its a necessity for my forums too! Major pisser!   I dunno bout the bug, didn't really look at it but this hack will do all you want and more, so you might have to calm your members 'til then

[thunderchild]

Believe me, my members can be calm, when they want me, but when 15 trekies are after you with laser pens [pointers] made into phasers its quite worrying  

To help me try and calm my members, have you got a good explanation of your mod? A link, or can you just type what it is out?  

[Matt Siegman]

It lets you add more membergroups, define their # of posts untill they hit that rank, define the picture, change the color of their name/membergroup

[thunderchild]

Without editing the php's that make up YaBBse? How many ranks can you have, or isnt it limited?

[Matt Siegman]

it'll be a mod, and with it, no limit will exist:)
