Custom Moderator Titles
 

This goes for my friend Danny (LeeCHeSSS) who asked me to make it for him.
Basically is a very simple hack to change the user title for each mod in function of the numer of posts, the same way like a regular user.

I wanted first to make it admin CP based, but that would involve new fields added to database, several files hacked, etc.
Why do all this when we can do it in less then 20seconds with a simple file edit? ;)

functions.php
FIND:
REPLACE WITH:
It's as simple as this. :)
Customize your titles the way you want. You can it do the same way with Super Mods and Admins. Is up to you how to have fun with it.

You could also use:
Just another way to write it, the code, not using the ELSE condition and saving another few lines of code.
That will change the name of your moderators in function of how many posts per day they make.
The more posts per days they make, the better it will be their title and the members will count more on their support.

btw, that's the new way the vBulletin 3 code is written. :)

Cool idea, thanks :)
Installed.

It says postsperday...? Doesn't that mean posts per day?

ya. :)

Nice :D

You're a good lad, teck ;)

Since when :bunny:

So TECK, if it means postsperday, it will go by how many posts the moderator posts for that day? I'm confused...

Nice hack ... but here's how I set it up on my forum:

// Custom Moderator Titles
if ( $post[usertitle] == 'Moderator' )
{
if ( $post[posts] > 30 and $post[posts] < 100 )
{
$post[usertitle] = 'Junior Moderator';
}
elseif ( $post[posts] == 100 and $post[posts] < 301 )
{
$post[usertitle] = 'Special Moderator';
}
elseif ( $post[posts] > 300 )
{
$post[usertitle] = 'Expert Moderator';
}
}
// End Custom Moderator Titles

This is pretty basic, but useful. ;) I do this with mine as well, using one of my very earlier hacks.
I also agree, it looks like regular basic code, Teck... ~_~
:p

Interesting Concept:)

Looks like a Java format of code *shudders* I certainly won't be writing any code like that ;) I'll stick to hope the code is layed out in vB2.

I wouldnt care as long as it did the job;)

is the same thing, you are simply using more code with the same results.
just by using a "smaller then" condition, you save time and you also perform less operations on your board.
always think code wise, not that is a big deal... but if you learn to write elegant code, your board will always be healthy coded.
since they started developing it. :)
i write my code from now on like that... just to get used.
it will not. better get used to it.

Can that be done usergroupid instead of $post[usertitle]? thx~~~

Please advise ...

All this is doing is a if condition check based on the amount of post a user has within a post range ... displaying the results if the condition fits.

I like it to grab a particular post count number and mark that member with the title I want him to have.

Show me a better solution then ... I don't see your point in this matter bro!

"show me the money!"

TECK: A question, if I want to replace the text with an image, how can I do it? I tried using $bburl and it wouldn't work...I want $bburl to work, so I could have say $bburl/images/imagehere.gif

you could add below:
$post[usertitle] = 'Expert Moderator';

this:
$post[userimage] = 'expmod'; for example.

your code in template should be something like:
<img border="0" src="{imagesfolder}/$post[userimage].gif">

So expmod is the template being called? Isn't there additional code to call a template?

No. expmod.gif will be your image that you upload onto your /images folder.
Is as simple as this. :)

I figured it out earlier :) I made some modification to it all, and changed it to use replacements instead...
