Add Title to Rank Images
 

Add Title to Rank Images 1.0

About this hack:
One of the problems I have on my forum is that I have a bunch of usergroups, each getting their own rank image, and users are unable to tell what the picture stand for. Many users are part of a few usergroups.

This hack adds the usergroup name to the title of a rank image if the image is for only one usergroup. The main way this hack helps you out is because every time you will move your mouse over a rank image, it will pop-up saying what the image is for.

An example would be, you have a rank images for all admins but the image it self does not say "admin". You users looking at the image have no idea what the image stands for. If they put their mouse over the image, there will be a pop-up saying "Admin".

In order to install this hack, you need to edit one file. There was no other way for me to do it. If you forget to make this one edit when you upgrade, you can always apply it at a later time. It will not cause any errors.

Once you install this hack, you should "Update User Titles and Ranks". This is found in you ACP (Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Update User Titles and Ranks)

Nice addition Abe1

brother's can you pls tell me how to add rank images

Upload your choosen images to /images/ranks via FTP.

Go to your Admincp and look at the bottom of the panel for User Ranks.

Click Add New User Rank and choose the options and the correct User Rank File Path which would be /images/ranks/xxxxxx.gif as an example.
