RPG Elements Hack

[zajako]

This hack lets your members choose an element (as in rpg elements)
You give them a choice on a list and they can become a Fire (or whatever) elemented person.
Its mainly for RPG boards but im sure you can find many other uses for it :}
It also displays it on there post bit aka sidebar :}
again for an active demonstration goto my forums at
http://www2.fate-fx.com/tf/forums/index.php
and you can check it out. i will be using images to rep the elements I can upgrad it to do that if you would like.

here it is...

this is the link to the 1.0 version, i will attach the 2.0 version on the end of this forum so that people may choose to use the old aswell

[Vivi Ornitier]

Yeah upgrade it for the images and ill use it!

Hi, I added this hack to my board with several modifications however whenever I select a class (in this case), it doesn't change. It still displays the default "none" title. Is anyone else having a similar problem?

[zajako]

pm me the changes you made and I will look at it.

Such a rockstar, zajako! ;D

[zajako]

lol thx afterlab. I am going to upload 2.0 it should fix those bugs guys:}

2.0 is up guys :}
here is an ex. dont mind my insane resolution. it kinda distorts things. but you can get the basic picture.

VERY VERY nice hack! This is a must for all RPG forums. A must install, very easy too. ALso i found something that anybody who has install Lesane's Awards hack might wanna watch for. If u installed his hack, u wan't be able to find the first step of the hack, well at least for me i couldn't, so follow my steps.

Look for these lines in admin/function.php

eval("\$post[profile] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_profile")."\";");
eval("\$post[search] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_search")."\";");
eval("\$post = \"".gettemplate("postbit_buddy")."\";");

[b]And above them add:

The part of the hack that Zakajo specified, I won't put it here or else non-registered people will find it.

Great hack and GREAT work!!

btw: I'm having troubles getting the <br> take out

$eicon = '<br><center><img src="http://www2.fat . . .
My code is $eicon = '<center><img src="http://www2.fat

but it still displays the picture on a new line??

[zajako]

try removing the center tags.
I see you are using my element icons :}
I don't mind
Also if you have any suggestions I will try to impliment them >:}

[Vivi Ornitier]

ya it worked! nice!

The element images were Incredibly Small and blury. I created new ones using Paint Shop Pro.

and

I also have the problem, where everytime someone edits their profile, if they don't specify an element, it automatically sets it back to none.

[zajako]

yes this problem is a thing that I will fix in a future update.

[AtmosPhere]

Great hack, i didnt like the idea of images cluttering the postbit though, so i simply changed it to Text instead of images. Hope his was ok ;)

[AtmosPhere]

I unmodified it again, and re-installed the hack, now i am having problems as it always displays "none" on a new line
HELP!

[AtmosPhere]

I really need help
this hack has been installed but its defunct
this should be in the beta release forum man!

[zajako]

contact me by aim the aim name is zajako2

I can take a look and fix it.

[zajako]

ok, i have completed an update finaly...

this time it is using the db. This is a much better version of the hack anyways, all previous problems were fixed and hopefully this will be an easy install

Also please notify me by aim of any and all errors

v2.0.....

err, whoops....
I forgot there already was a 2.0 I should learn to count or at least realize i updated my hack already

owel this is the 3.0 version and the file says 2.0 so make me feel good by pertending the file says 3.0 :P

[Christoff]

So now after reloading the profile page there is the right element selected (the one, that user selected before) or is it still 'none'?

[zajako]

still none however i have fixed that

Open the admin panel and open User option templates>modifyprofile

then find


<select name="element">

<option value="0" selected>None</option>
<option value="1" >Light</option>
<option value="2" >Water</option>
<option value="3" >Wind</option>
<option value="4" >Lightning</option>
<option value="5" >Earth</option>
<option value="6" >Fire</option>
<option value="7" >Dark</option>



</select>




and replace with


<select name="element">
<option value="$bbuserinfo[element]" selected>Current Element</option>
<option value="0" >None</option>
<option value="1" >Light</option>
<option value="2" >Water</option>
<option value="3" >Wind</option>
<option value="4" >Lightning</option>
<option value="5" >Earth</option>
<option value="6" >Fire</option>
<option value="7" >Dark</option>



</select>



that will fix the problem with the element returning to none.

(note that fix only works for the newest version of the element hack)

[Christoff]

I have downloaded your attachment... you've said that you named the archive wrong... but I think taht it is really ver 2.0 because inside the files are same as in 2.0!

[zajako]

that does not iclude any of the database stuf

here is the file for 3.1

[XtremeVigilante]

I can't get this hack to work on my VB. My members select an element andit automatically resets back to none.

[XtremeVigilante]

I have tried every single think that was mentioned in here and I get nothing.

[zajako]

fix this line
$eicon = '<img src="images/elements/'.$elename.'" border="0" alt="'.$elename.'" align="absmiddle">';

to

$eicon = '<img src="images/elements/'.$elename.'.gif" border="0" alt="'.$elename.'" align="absmiddle">';

[azork]

zajako, how do the hidden elements work?
