is anyone else having any problems with this hack? i know of one person, now i know why i stopped releasing hacks in the first place - the assumption that because the hack is yours youve got to spend YOUR time installing it for OTHER people, im sorry Shakron but before deciding to hack your board, you should perhaps learn some PHP or at least know how the VB works before trying to do it yourself, i dont have all day every day to take you through it step by step (and i tried to take you through it time and time again but it seemed like i was getting nowhere :rolleyes: ).

When you were having problems installing it i even offered to do it for you but all i got in return was mistrust.
You thinking that i wanted to do something bad to your board, or delete it or something if you gave me your FTP details - WHY would i do something like that, then you finally give me the details and expect to get it done overnight, im sorry but im not a goddamned machine, i've got other things to do, i have been busy over this past weekend like i usually am, i have very little free time, at the very bottom of my "what i want to do list" was to get that hack installed on your board, get over it.

next time i will sereously be considering whether or not to release ANY of my new hacks here if this is the demanding crap that i get.
other people have managed and dont send me whiny emails about waiting for their board to be launched but it's my fault that it cant be because YOU havent gotten MY hack working yet, launch without it already, i am withdrawing my help.

what? you offered that hack in the first place and when I asked for it you promised to give it to us ... we got it 16(!) day later.

than we tried to install it and we had problems and couldnt find the reason and you offered to help us. the only reason why i was not sure if i could give you our ftp-dates was because we are acctally not allowed to give them away.

we would have never had a problem if you tell us that you don't have the time yet and that you'll install it in a few days or that you can't install it because you don't have the time. that would have been sad for us but we would understand it. but you kept us waiting and waiting and waiting without saying a word.

you got no mistrust .. we just really didnt know what do to. it was very nice that you offered to help us ... but at the same time we feared that you maybe could get something wrong with our ftp-files (because our ftp-account is a littlbit *cough* messy). i was never thinking that you would delete anything because you don't like us or stuff like that (why should i think that?) ...

you offered to help us so at that date ... so i expected that you would do it there ... or at least tell us that you are not able to help us. don't you get it? our problem is not that you don't help us at all .. our problem is that you never said a word and just kept us waitinig without any information!

that's why i am angry now! not because you don't help us ... that's ok for me .. i was not asking you to install it for us ... you offered that to us and we gladly accepted (and after some thinking we decided that we trust you and gave you access to ftp even if we are not allowed to and even if we can get into serious troubles with our host because of that).

so pleeeease, dont say we are the bad girls here. and i think its pretty unfair that you post something like this here ... the other people don't knwo what happened and so it's just absolutely unfair. instead you could have just told us days ago that you are not willing to help us and we would have accepted that.

i did offer my help, and i did try to do it for you, but it seemed that when i was explaining what needed to be done, you had absolutely no idea what i was talking about and couldent do it,
i posted full instructions on here that everyone else managed to follow to the letter, but you kept on icqing me, emailing me and every other conceivable communications method, bugging me trying to get it done, that is why i started ignoring you, your total lack of patience, and lack of ability to get it done for yourself.

jeez, i even sent you some of my pre-hacked VB files but you still couldent get it working, im sorry if i lost patience with you and started ignoring you, but thats what happens when you get bugged days on end to do something i didnt particularly want to be doing in the first place, you only gave me FTP access a few days ago, as i stated i have been very busy this weekend, and this constant nagging over something that really isn't very important in the scheme of things wasn't helping me get any work done.

why do you even need the hack so desperately? why can't you launch without it? what's so special about it? it's just another hack...

forget it. you don't understand my point. and i can live with that .. but i still think its pretty unfair to post that here ... and do you want to know why i tried to contact you through several ways ov er and over again? because you said absolutely NOTHING. that's why!

just a single small icq-message or email with "i don't have time so dont expect it to be done till XXX" or "i don't want to install it because i just don't have time". i would definitely have accepted that! and yes; i have no idea how to hack a board ... but my board-admin does and she installed it. there was just that damned dropdown-problem.

why that hack is so important for us? i don't think i have to explain that. we've very good reasons ... and that's it.

thanks for posting that hack and thanks for trying to help us ... but you should try to look at the situation from another point ... because right now you are the person that is whining here. sorry .. .i wont bother you anymore.

is there anyway to make it so that only the admin and mods can change this?

Everything installed correctly except when I get here, it hangs:

creating default set...

Where is this admin rank center located?

Just installed on 2.2.0 and it works fine :)

SirSteve, multiraceadmin.php can be downloaded from the first page, upload it into your admin directory, you will also need to search it for "yourshere" and change the $dbhost, $dbname, $dbuser and $dbpass and you will need to do both twice

Thanks Martyjp. Unfortunately, I am still confused. I made the changes and the admin is working but once you add a set, how do you delete/modify them?

And I am not clear on how to get it working... everything installed ok (I belive). This rank admin really needs to go into the admin CP.

All I want is to be able to offer my visitors (Star Wars site) 2 rank paths. Jedi and Sith

Both have 6 ranks each. They have to select 1 path when they register.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

hmm ... there is another hack like this, but i didn't write it and don't know if i am allowed to publish it.

this hack is integrated in the admin cp and the ranks can easily be modified.

the user can chose the path only when he registers, afterwards only the admin is able to change it.

well ... it's working great on my vbulletin 2.2.0 (a starwarsboard, too :D ), but as i said, i don't know if i am allowed to publish it.

Can you e-mail it to me? :)
