Hye i have installed the plugin on my site.

I was hoping to see if it would be possible in the next update to have a function so whilst viewing a user in the AdminCP you can award them a rank similar to this.

In my Opinion this is a good idea for future versions, but a hard piece to code.
We will keep this idea in our Future Features list, Thanks for that suggestion ;)

Best regards,

This one too from the 3.6 Thread Chrakker...

So walshymyster that's a maybe although which mod did that come from or ??

Let me know walshymyster asap so I can review the code and then you might have a new version released :D

S-MAN

this is a wonderful modification.
i was just wondering if it is possible to launch this officially in 3.8 as well so that i dont have to come in here again.

it is working though with 3.8 @ my forums. except for that little annoying error that i am facing:(

I believe we have fixed it, I just had a PM regarding this... I tell you what I will go ahead and post it before I launch my own 3.8 forums that are about to be purchased but until then it will not be supported as trying to deal w/ errors when I have no test forums to attempt a fix on is kinda silly and not very supportive to begin with. I have 3.8 releases out but they are just coding changes/additions... nothing major involving DB changes etc so I hope you understand my concern, especially for the non-experienced users!

Demo video on all my installs soon so look for them!

S-MAN

Great mod, I would love to install it on my 3.8 forum.

Thank you very much for this hack.

Is there any way that I can give a rank to a group, instead of individually?

Is there an option to display Ranks in signature like the awards system has?

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/rank.php on line 964

I also have this error

request link not showing up in ranks php page

When I try to use the code in post #3 here to have it displayed with out showcase written or the line around it in my postbit legacy it messes everything up.
I want it to display in the postbit legacy not off like it is....see attachment

Any help would be appreciated:)

okay I figured out my issue in post 131
i used this code instead of what is in post 3


<!-- show ranks -->
<if condition="$post[showuserranks]">
<br />
<div>
$post[userranks]
</div>
<br />
</if>
<!-- /show ranks -->

But I still need help with questions in post 129 and 130:)

All my previous post questions have been solved except for this one
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/rank.php on line 964

when receiving pm that a request has been made I click on the bb link and get page not found.
So i try going straight to approve_rank.php and still get page not found

also I noticed when i right click and choose properties for the approve link in the bb code part of the pm I see that it says myforums.com/approve_rank.php with a lot of rubbish instead of myforums.com/boards/approve_rank.php ......
It want to pull from another place other than my forums root directory...
make sense?

Man I am so sorry. I sort of got the approval thing to work. It approved one I tested just fine on myself. But would not approve one on others in usergroups I created. Is there something I can do to fix that?

I have yes in usergroup settings checked. Yet when they try they get data base error

WOW lol, a lot of posts eh? Sorry guys... I have been @ the hospital off and on for weeks now with a friend and other real life issues... I even dissapointed a client which I hate to do but sometimes as they say... sh!t happens eh? Let me try to knock out some of this!

Not at this moment and I do not currently have time to even investigate it lol, sorry for that but just busy lately.

No BUT you can code it in yourself as that is still in postbit ;)

I have not had time to update this mod like the new author of the Awards system has :(

Me too, on a 3.8 board yesterday and attempting a fix for a friend, I have line 161 though ;) so hold tight although the code via notepad++ @ line 161 is identical to the Awards mod!?!?!?!? So for now I'm stuck but it is still bugging me so hold tight!

Set this for each usergroup in the groups setting ;)

See Below *You solved it lol

Great fix, you removed some code you did not like as well, remember you could have simply removed the phrases and replaced w/ your own text and the links would still work!

Try moving it around a bit, it is very nice to see what you can achieve w/ your template! Ohh and check memberinfo and clean that template up as well, the friends site it fubared it but skim the code and tinker, you'll have it looking snazzy in no time.

Hmmm, check the install or readme files for reference to this and verify the BB Code installed autmatically in your bb code manager etc. Let me know :D

Pull from another place... I do and don't head is still filled w/ tonights trip to the hospital so let me get back to you as I investigate the friends forums! If anything sometimes it will error out, just refresh then view thier profile or a post and the Rank should bet there!

Refresh, refresh, refresh lol and try again... it still has some bugs in 3.8 guaranteed so bare w/ me as I resolve these on my friends site.

Additionally I'm just drained and yet still busy @ the same time so bare w/ me if I do not reply back ASAP ok?

Great dedication to getting it working Unicorn - your top notch in my book and I did not mind all the questions in the least ;)

S-MAN

Thanks so much. And I have no idea how to do any of this code stuff... I guess I just got lucky:)
I am still working on the member info templates because I have a custom mod and the things I am supposed to look for are not there.

Also I tried to get the ranks to show up in a block on the member profile instead with no luck ...lol
But I tried.
I have no clue how to do any of this so I am happy you were not upset with my questions.
I will try the refresh for the data base error and let you know how it goes.

in case it helps I can not approve them in control panel either
I get this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.0:

Oh and thanks. Take your time.
I hope nothing bad happened that caused you to go to hospital. Feel better.

It was a friend, she was released early last week from the hospital after recovering from a heart attack :eek: but then had to go back w/ severe chest pains although her artery had mysteriously healed itself (miracle perhaps?) and she was supposed to be fine. Doctors are not sure what was causing the pain but good thing it is kinda a false alarm!

It's the ' in the name, the mod does not like Characters especially brackets etc. Additionally please note Chrakkers change where it needs the user id # instead of username ;)

Also read a few posts back i.e. the first 1-2 pages and in the description of this mod, I explained @ one point in time how you could tinker w/ it. And if your not a coder then your brain is built for it considering the simple yet not so simple for others edits you have performed - keep up the research, it will pay off in the long run w/ vB or phpBB etc.

is possible to feel used to battlefield 2 ?

We use this mod in a tournament setting, we run BF2142 and COD4 forums and users have ranks from one or if they participate in both then accordingly.

So yeah ;) just do the ranks how you want them, might even be a site that has some gfx for free use :D

Thanks so much Superman for your lighting fast mod & work, our Awards are looking totally kool. Check them out below. And thanks again for your hard work & mod.

No problem ED! Although that is the Awards mod lol but hopefully we get that code error to display right in the ranks.php! See you on FFTF soon! (I just purchased a 3.8 board of my own for mod'n so I'll do the rest of the test on there!)

S-MAN

3.8 users, everything is fine you just need to have the ranks fully setup including a few to issue as an example and then remove later but in order for everything to work properly set it all up before you use it - it's that simple :D

S-MAN

Hello

Thank you for providing this great mod, we're currently installing it on our own board and it''s invaluable for our purposes.
I've been wondering though, is there a way to order the ranks specifically in the memberlist? Just as now you can order names alphabetically etc, I'd like to be able for users to order the memberlist by highest to lowest rank.
Thanks!:up:

Maybe... I never thought of that as there's so much more in vB you can use to sort ;) but if I have time this weekend I'll look into it for you.. I saw something recently on here that gave info on how to sort by certain things on memberlist.. need to find it.. although all we have are award ID's not which one is higher in rank so it might be tricky if let's say you add a rank @ a later date that is more of value than the highest rank you see? We'll see though :D

S-MAN

Cheers mate I appreciate that :up:

Any chance of an update on the option to order by hierarchy?

I have that on the list, currently doing many paid request so it might be a bit longer but the good news is I have taken the time to start updating this and plan on re-releasing for 3.7 and then finally releasing for 3.8 however I run this on 3.8 now including a version I modified of the 3.6 Awards by Hachno and have been able to retain the automatic creation of a thread for a one click approval of awards where as they have removed that and other features for some reason. The new version will have similar features as the new Awards System Modification but with a few extra options for customization. I've also started converting this into another form of product but you'll have to wait and be surprised by that ;)

S-MAN

Sounds ace, thanks for the update:)

No problem! I just tested it the other day and one or two bugs so pending those fixes it will be released however the sorting may not be in this version and remember I said it might not work at all in terms of importance of rank, it can already sort by issue date via the code but by importance would require some extra coding I just can't spare time for now :( but I did manage to squeeze in this update for 3.7 users and the release for 3.8 pending those bug fixes.

S-MAN

I HAVE LOVED this mod since I first installed it on one of my 3.7.x production boards a while ago. BUT, I had to uninstall when clients went to 3.8.x. I have multiple 3.8.4 production boards up for clients and I cant install a mod on ANY of them until it has been released for the current forum version they are running, so I am awaiting the release of the 3.8.x version !!

It looks like this weekend, perhaps by Sunday that I'll have the 3.8.x beta version ready for release :D

Well aren I the dumb one lol. Been looking for something like this and here it is under my nose with the guy i work with lol. Oy vey time to go to bed. Will install in the morning!

This version will work with 3.8, tested and verified, update coming asap see below.

Mmm hmm well check that title out under my name and click it ;) I have a few things, some have more and some I adore who release so much to all of us for free. If I had more free time I could honor my word like the update planned the other week :erm: but have to take care of business first as that takes priority and I aplogize for that. Hold tight and let me go over the updated version and prepare it for re-release on 3.7 & the first 3.8 release - I'm going to try and retain the functionality that has been lost to I guess what you could call a sister or cousin mod i.e. the Awards System as of the latest releases which is automatic post creation in a specified thread upon request, one-click url approval that will approve and grant the rank to the user with one click plus the ability to have it automatically display in a specified location depending on template OR the option to place manually in a desired location with instructions for side by side with another mod image/icons etc or most forms of codes. TBO and note this as you read, heavily modifying your postbit templates can cause problems if using mods or codes that pull from any site other than yours. Locally it reads the information quickly but external content and old codes even if it does exactly what you want and can't find another replacement etc may not be best for your forum, don't forget now ;). I'll have more info as it develops but I have previous engagements and other priorities to take care of at the same time I know, I know same ole' song and dance many have seen many post lol ahh the comedic relief as some call me but as I said hold tight let me get it done :D.

S-MAN

Will this beupdated to work with 4.0?

Is this only for the horizontal postbit.... or does it also work with the vertical postbit?

Thanks

Basically this was made off re-usable code, before the Awards guys remade it off Hancho's old hack so yes it can be however not atm I'm too busy to fuss w/ it perhaps in the next few weeks I'll edit a version of that and re-release since it's marked as re-usable code ;).

Either, if not in one or the other simply manually add the code to display.

Please do! I know alot of people who are waiting for an update for 4.x. I personally have had a great need for something exactly like this for my multigaming community I run. Having 20 different ranks for each game gets very time consuming for adding and removing based on user groups, and I have to give admin permissions to people who do it. If its like the awards system you can just give them mod status and that's all. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into this.
