Christianb - shoot me an email and I can help you with this. I had something similar setup once. It is not that tough..

I have a usergroup based rank system. I'll be glad to share it with you but it's more of a tutorial than a hack. I'll post the whole shebang in the tutorials forums. The advantage is each rank is it's own usergroup so they have to ask for promotions (or apply using a form) and the promotions officer changes their primary usergroup. Certain ranks have certain privilages. Very neat. Displays rank in postbit as well.

For awards, I had the same thing applied except instead of usergroups, it used profile fields. That proved to be a huge hassle compared to YetAnotherAwardsSystem hack.

Because the ranks are hard coded into the postbit template, you can make variations of a style where if a user selects the Blue - Marine Corps style, they see the same style but Marine Coprs equivilant ranks.

Sorry for the off-topic.

EDIT: I have included the images with the style.

I've seen that awards system (and I used them at one time before - pretty cool) - the thing I'm possibly going to develop would go good with this (and other military themes). I just wish that one could use javascript onchange command in the profile (it might be possible - havent' checked). What the theory would consist of is a user chooses their branch of service (via profile), then chooses (based on previous choice for javascript) a rank, a rate/division/MOS/etc., and then chooses which medals and ribbons they've earned. When I saw this theme, it made me think of something I thought about at the VA hospital last week - former Navy here.
Sorry for the original and continued off-topic posts.

Now, for the regularly-scheduled thread discussion. :)

If you or anyone ever develops a good rank system I'll be the first to download.

Those images really made a difference! http://www.ravensrealm.net/?styleid=40

I see that there are alot of problems with it because you made it a child style of disturbed.

What I did was install all my hacks on one template (vbulletin basic) and made it unselectable. Then added the child styles below it. For advanced styles like Disturbed, you may need to use a template merger. I forgot the name of it. It's available here for 3.5.

mholtum 01-05-2006 08:55 PM

The only thing that is from the Disturbed theme is the header and I still use some of the buttons, untill I can create some custom ones) that and I modified the width of the tables a little. Other than that it is the way it should be.

I am still seeing exactly what I want to do with it.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
