multi race hack

[Shakron]

I was wondering if there exists a "multi race - hack" for the VBulletin.

I know there exists something like that for the Ikonboard (I use it on our german board) but we would like to buy the VBulletin ... IF there exists such a hack.

If you don't know what I mean, check out our german ikonboard:
http://swg.gamesurf.de/cgi-bin/board/ikonboard.cgi

There you will see that every user gets (depending on the number of his posts) a "rank". At the time he registers he can choose which rank-way he wants. So in this case (it's a Star Wars board) he can choose between Dark-Jedi, Jedi, Crime, Rebellion and Imperial ...

Please help me and tell me if such a hack exists, or if someone is willing to program it.

Thanks for your help,
Shakron

I honestly can't remember but the user titles might work like this. I can't remember if you specifiy a post count for them. I have mine set to allow custom.

If not, use the stars hack by freddie. It is really simple to install and the one i still use. You can easily do what you want with that hack.

hmmm ... that's not exactly what i meant.
i know that there is this starhack, but i need a modification if the star hack.

see. if you register you'll get just the stars. you don't have a choice. what i want, is that the user can choose for example between stars, little flowers and apples. it should be a multi rank hack ... not a single rank hack like the one from freddie :)

as i already pointed out, i have a hack like that installed on my ikonboard. but i really want to change to the vbulletinboard ...

ok i am sorry i should read better.

The only easy way i can think about this is to do this:

1) create an extra field in profile. This is already avaliable as an option. Now, my understanding is you have something like this as a setup:



POSTS 1-100 100-250 250-500

Star Wars Jedi Dark Jedi Luke
Star Trek ensen captain admiral



if so, what i would do is set that field as a directory. So, for example they could enter Star_Wars or Star_Trek (in the description type the list).

Then modify stars.php do call image but also to use the variable from the user so it would be:

<img src="path_to_images/$user[new_field]/post_number.gif">

sort of thing.

That would work and not require much hacking at all.

Hmmm ... well, I'd like to control the whole thing through
the administration-center and so it would be pretty cool
if someone could help me and write a hack for me because
I don't know how to program PHP ....

Thanks :)

[Shakron]

cool ... :)
I'll get it from Lob:

Luke isn't really a rank ;)

well, after lob seems to keep forgetting posting the hack, is there anyone who can code something like that?
i think it sounds pretty cool and it would be a great addition to the vbulletin.

[Shakron]

Well .. I really hoped Lob would give it to me because he promised to do so ... :(

... so I've to ask again if someone here is willing to program such a hack. I am sure it's not so hard to program but I don't know how to program ...

anyone?
