[Release] Add Stars To User Titles

[mashby]

Author: Mone'

Description: This mod will give you the ability to add stars to your User Levels without having to apply a hack to do so. With this mod "installed" your user titles will have a series of stars located underneath the title. Original Post [link (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39187)]

Demo: [link (http://www.npug.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12206)] see the bottom of the thread.

[sphinx]

[ZiRu$]

thats dope *I'm off in search of stars*

[mashby]

Cool! Glad you guys like it. :)

Don't forget to hit the "Install" button after you've installed it.

[netman]

I am going to put the stars in front of the title. I want to center the stars but leave everything underneath alone. How would I do this?

[imported_Niloc]

Thank a lot man looks like it will be easy to install.

[Ethics]

well when i installe dthis it went all good but the titles dont show up, i disabled custom user titles but now it just shows, super mod or mod whatever they are, any ideas why its not working?

[Ethics]

ok wait its only working for members that are not mods/admins how can this be fixed?

[N9ne]

hehe I already use this...

@Ethics - go to usergroups, and go to mods/supermods/admins' usergroups and for their title, put <br><img src="linktoimage">

I did this mod ages ago but didn't release it :p

[mashby]

I haven't found a fix for that part. My board works the same way. :(

The only workaround I have found is to custom edit your titles for your admins. If you edit your account through the Admin control panel for example, then you can choose to use a custom title for yourself and then include the appropriate stars. However, it won't change automatically by the number of posts.

It appears that certain accounts do not participate in the "title process" like a regular user would.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

[Ethics]

woah thanx it worked.

[mashby]

Just remember, your mods and admins are not subject to the user titles, so their stars won't change based on the number of posts.

Of course, they probably deserve 5 stars anyway. :)

[Razgo]

I like the level hack? did you do this also?

[mashby]

No that is a hack (thus not supported on this site) and you can find it at vBulletin.org [link (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31775)]

Thanks. I wish I could take all the credit, but Mone' is the one who figured it out.:)

Glad you like it, and don't forget to hit the "Install" button on this thread. :)

This is a VERY nice hack. Very easy to install, and works nicely.

My forum has some nice stars on it(Thanks to Bid For Power for the stars!)

http://216.118.85.49/forum/showthread.php?threadid=16 there is what they look like(note: yes everyone is an admin/mod because are just starting off and we are getting our staff together)

[mashby]

I like your stars! Nice job. :)

[Obi-Wan]

i like the hack :) thanks a lot

by the way do u have a way to give each groub of my mebers a logo. like for ex: yaxay.com

the give the mod and the super mod special avatar or logo. so can we try to make like the hack or these way.

cuz i try to do it in my forum but by anther way, the way that give each mod a standr avatar but, i dont like these way.

on gay say that you can but in the place of the user title the path of the pic or the avatar but, also i dont want to do it by these way cuz i want to keep the user title.

i hope u anderstand waht i mean mr. mashby i know it's to much words:) so try to forgive me :) :) :)

u know i will give to u short and sweet.

i need to give my mods and super mods a anther avatar. that mean he is a mods. whith out used the normal avatar.

[Sean123]

I used to be on another board with stars and this one is almost exactly like it but the stars even changed color as you went higher in the posts . .like say the first 5 stars are yellow, the next 5 are blue, the next 5 are green, and so on. And the admin. always got 5 blue stars and the mods always got 5 red stars .. do you think you could make that .. ??

[imported_GuruXL]

its basically the same thing just get different images.

For example. what you are asking for is a .gif file with the changing colors, that can be implemented, just get those images and then replace the

<img src="http://yourserver.com/images/flashing.gif">

its doesn't get any simpler than that!

[mashby]

GuruXL,

I'm sorry but I had to remove your previous post with the SQL query. I think it goes outside of the boundries of the rules of vBT. I'll check with SaintDog and if he disagrees, I'll put it back.

However, I think you could do the same thing without the query. Unelss I'm missing something you just have to make new images, to go with each new category.

[mashby]

Well, you might be able to add an image to your titles. To do that, just go to your Admin Control Panel and edit the User titles to include your <img> tag for the image that you'd like to use.

That's a good idea actually. :)

[banoota]

i've been searching for this! thanks mash
though, i've got one question -- dumb as it may sound =/
i've got only 3 options for user titles, your stars got 6
does it all come with the mod? or fo i have to install another hack to get there?

[7alem]

hi mr mashby

i know that but i want to give him a special avatar whithout lose the user title and the normal avatar.

[Tony G]

Just add a <br> then after the title?

[7alem]

hi tony

that is good idea.
but how can i do it if i have user title in a box and the avatar in top of the place.
you think i can do it or kown?

i want like the way of yaxay.com.

i think it's easy and we can do it :)

The images are part of vBulletin, so you'll have to decide which images you want to use. For your example, you might want to use 1 star, 3 star, and 6 star images. Or you could use 1, 2, and 3 star images. The choice is yours. :)

This template mod will not affect the avatar at all. You're simply adding an additional image for those titles that you edit.

If you don't want to lose the title, just add a <br>, as Tony suggested and then the image tag. So, what you'd have is this:

Title<br><img src="your_image.gif">

In your postbit, you'd have two things that you can move around:

1. $ post[title] - This is the variable that would call the title of the user and any associated title issue.

2. $ post[icon] - This is the variable that calls the user's Avatar.

I'm not familar with yaxay enough, but I hope this helps!

[assassingod]

I never actually notice this Template Mod until earlier today, and I must say it's brilliant:) Thank you Mashby *Gives mashby a cake*

Okay take at look at my forums postbit.

Is that something like you want?

[7alem]

hi mashby
i will try to do your way and see. thankx alot man :) and also i will try to give an attachment for what i mean in yaxay.com :) to get my point clear :).

Mr Tony it is a nice forums i like the design very much :)

i hope within one week or more i will give u the link of the forums i work on it and :) i hope you like it :).

thankx alot :)

[Tony G]

Best of luck with it, I'm sure mashby's method works. I'm just a bad explainer. :p

[platoon]

i think it makes forums look professional, gj well done

[Phaeton]

You can also use a bar with a fill (like install progress) instead of stars for a unique look :)

[7alem]

hi tony, mashby

plese try to check the attachment and see what i mean in yaxay.com

and tell me the correct way to do it :)

best luck :)

[chiel]

does this hack also include the stars in a pm??
I haved looked for many stars hack by cound't find any where the stars are also include when someone in sending you a pm..

[mashby]

7alem:Due to the fact that Yaxay has an image for "Super Mod" as well as the status for it as well, I'd have to say that I think this is a hack of some sort. To do it without a hack, you'd have to choose between having an image, or having text if you want it that separated. If you kept the images next to the text, then you could have both. Just follow my instructions from the earlier post.

chiel: The stars are included in PM's if you have the user titles listed in your PM. I think they are by default, so it should work just fine.

[Crusades]

thank's a lot is fantastic!!!:D

[Burning_Ice]

:) Loves this one.

[bonnmac]

Thanks :) I like this one very much.

[mashby]

Super! Glad you guys like it. :)

[imported_TMG1]

good job

[wyzzor]

THANKS!!!

[Xantixle]

Thnx, this is what im looking for:)

[talaus]

cool mod
thx

[Omega Prime]

This is a nice hack, m8 :) *clicks install* But I wonder if anyone has some other icons I could use instead of stars, since we've got about 15+ user titles and around 600 posts, everyone has 5 stars...

And I also noticed that some people didn't have stars, so I had to refresh the user titles in the CP before everyone had the stars...not sure if that was posted, but hope that helps :)

[mashby]

I suppose you could use any image set you'd like. I chose stars because it's part of the original install of vB, but you could choose any image you like.

You can also set your rating system to anything you like. Since you have an active community, perhaps you'd need to bump your classifications a little higher. Again, it's entirely up to you.

Good tip on refreshing the User Titles. I installed this mod before launching my forum, so it wasn't an issue for me, but it's a good tip for anyone installing this with an already active board.

[flup]

Ok when you want to add stars to your moderator and admin
Go to:
User groups.
Edit Admin, Super Mod and Mod

And add after each of the titles:
<br><img src="http://yourhost.com/forum/images/5stars.gif">

[quickstang22]

Ok I added the <br><img src="http://yourhost.com/forum/images/5stars.gif">

To the Admin and Moderators. The stars show up in the AdminCP but not on the board. It is going to be a pain adding the starts to each Mod Manually.

[Cypher720]

dont you have to close the quote of the usergroup name first? try adding a single quote ( " ) before the br...then try it

[partang2]

Thanx! *clicks install*
