DONATIONS - Icon for those who've made a donation - POSBIT or POSTBIT_LEGACY vB 4.0.x
 

What is this?


This is a little hack/mod/template change (call it what you will). :)

When a member makes a Money Donation to the forum - They can get rewarded by placing a small 'Gold Trophy Icon' (see Pic) beneath their username in the Postbit or Postbit_Legacy. (depandant of which one your forum uses).

Hover you mouse over that Icon Image and you will see " XXX has made a donation to the forum!"


What Do I do?


You do the following...


STEP 1; Upload the donation.gif image to your forum?s ?images/misc? folder, in your forum?s route directory.

STEP 2; Set Up a Usergroup.

This usergroup will have a ?donation Trophy? with alt code, displayed under the Member?s USERNAME in their Postbit or postbit_Legacy (dependant on which you use).

AdminCP-> Usergroups -> Add New Usergroup ->

? Create Usergroup Based off of Usergroup: Registered Users
? Default Forum Permissions: You choose this
? Title: Donators
? Description: The Members of this Group have all made one or more Donations to the forum
? User Title: Leave this Blank
? Username HTML Markup: Leave this Blank
? Password Expiry: Leave this Blank
? Password History: Leave this Blank

Public Groups Settings:

? Public (Joinable) Custom Usergroups: No
? Can override primary group title/markup: No

The rest of this Group?s permissions is only known by and can be set, by you.

CLICK SAVE !


STEP 3: Postbit Template Edit:

AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Style (mine is Default Style) -> << >> -> Postbit Templates -> postbit ->

FIND:

ADD BELOW:

Enter the UsergroupID number in place of the green 'X'. And change the red Text, to that of your forum addess.

SAVE



STEP 4; Adding the Member to the Donators Usergroup:


All you need to do now is to add a Member to that usergroup, and the way in which to do this, Is?

AdminCP -> Users -> Search for User -> Enter the Username and Click Exact Match.

Under ?Usergroup Options? on the right, Select the ?Donators? tickbox. (See picture UM1 in attachments below).

Click Save.


Now you will see the ?Trophy? Icon on the Member?s Postbit.


And that is it !

Sending a virtual high five. Thanks!

Great mod thank you

Nice! Thanks

Great stuff mate! Thanks!! Can you maybe help me to get this to also work on Vb 3.8.4!?

Thanks!!

I haven't currently got a 3.8.4 to test it on. I have to upgrade soon (Just finished preparing the files etc).

I can do it on a 3.8.1 (which should work on the 3.8.4) - Once I have done that I will post a seperate Mod for you to try, if you want to?

Just completed it - Can you go to the link below and try that in your vB 3.8.4, Please Taurus, and give me some feedback on That thread too please?


Many Thanks.




Click here for the vB 3.8.1 Version.

What about those using Postbit legacy?

The code their is different?
:confused:

[edit]

I did some testing and placing it after this seemed to work in the postbit legacy template.

I cant get it to work, i tried placing the code below everything in the template but still doesnt show.
It SHOULD put the icon below all previous post correct? or does it just show up under the users new posts? cause that could be why it would not be showing up.

*EDIT*

for some reason with a mod i have, i had to place it in a different spot, Marked INSTALLED! Very good mod thanks!
