Custom titles

[Efrain_AAV1]

I'm no expert but I guess the database field the script uses to determine what title to give a user is the TOTAL POSTS field, correct?

If I wanted to make the script look at another field to determine what title to assign, how would I do this?

I have a new database field named Total_Block_Hours and I want the script to use this field instead of the Total Posts..

Can it be done?

Thanks in advance!

No, the user status is cached in the user table (customtitle or usertitle, can't remember which).

Ok, this is where I get lost, because one can adjust the "amount" of posts necessary for a specific Title to be used... Somewhere there must be a routine which is looking into the Total Posts field and comparing the total there to the amount specified... I think the cache would apply if you allow members to have their own custom title..

Hmmm.. I guess I posted the wrong subject! LOL

What I am interested is NOT the CUSTOM TITLE! I am interested in the USER TITLE... Sorry for the confusion Filbert! Hope you can help me now! ;) :banana:

I meant user title, too.

It is based on the postcount, but the title is a counter so it must be manually updated if a new post is just randomly added to the post table.
