Supporting Member hack?

[mkdevo]

i'm looking for a hack that will display something like 'Supporting Member' with an icon under a user's name, in order to tell who has donated to the site.

i couldn't find anything here, but i've seen this up and running. see here (http://www.vpforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31615).

example in the attachment. it also shows up as a line in a user's profile.

This could be done, for example, with an additional usergroup.

Then, add a template conditional to the postbit, saying something like:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == x">Supporting Member</if>

Colin,

thanks for the tip. sounds good, but when i tried to implement it, it showed up on all posts. i added a 'Supporting Member' usergroup, and here's the code i used:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == Supporting Member">__________<br><b>Supporting Member </b><IMG SRC="http://www.thebreakfast.info/forum/images/supportmoney.gif" align=absmiddle></if>

any ideas as to what i've done wrong?

thanks again!

You almost got it.

You'll have to exchange the x not with Supporting Member, but with the usergroupid of that usergroup. It would then look something like: "$post[usergroupid] == 9"

Colin,

Just changed it to reflect the usergroupid, and i'm getting the same results. :(

Are there any other changes I nees to make?

<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == 10">__________<br><b>Supporting Member </b><IMG SRC="http://www.thebreakfast.info/forum/images/supportmoney.gif" align=absmiddle></if>

colin (or anyone else),

this code is still not working for me - showing up for every member when i put it in.

any ideas on how to make it work? (btw, i'm running 2.3.5)

thanks..

Well Colin, this is the vB2 code modification section ;)
vB 2.x does not support <if ...>

If you want smth. similar for vB 2.x take a look at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=43325

Btw: I'd recommend to upgrade to vB3 - the code is much better.

yeah, i plan on it.. actually just copied my db so i can start testing vb3 out a little bit. hope to have it going within a few months..

thanks for the tip. thought i was going nuts! ;)

Sorry about that mkdevo.

I generally go over the new posts link, and that doesn't show me it's vB2.

Once you've upgraded to vB3, the above code should work though :)
