Ranks Without Usergroups

1 Attachment(s)

Overview

This product allows you to define ranks that can be assigned to individual users without having to create usergroups with which to associate them. These ranks will then display beneath ranks defined in the "User rank Manager" in postbits and profile pages. All of the settings are self-explanatory.

In postbit:

In profile:

Updates:

Version 1.1:

Fixed problem arising on some sites where only last user shows rank.

Version 1.2:

Removed case sensitivity of usernames.

Compatibility:

Tested and working on VB 4.2.x and should work on all 4.x versions of vBulletin.

This product does not alter your database, however it is always good practice to make regular backups and you should make a backup before installing ANY new mod.

As always, products are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will provide support and do my best to help but no absolute guarantee is offered.

Looks nice!

Is there a way to make users select their own ranks?
That would make the plugin even more useful to me :-).

No, this product, as it stands, allows you as an admin to define the HTML/CSS for ranks and then apply them to users. The way I see it, such a rank is earned though contributions to the site, rather than simply chosen by users.

For example, one of our global moderators puts in a great deal of time helping me beta test mods on our dev site, and so I gave her a small icon to denote her role as a beta tester. It was something I felt she deserved

However, I realize not everyone will have the same use for any particular mod, and so when I get time (currently working on a bear of a mod), I will see if I can do something useful with your suggestion. :)

Downloaded and installed with thanks...

Immediately noticed there is no CSS code as shown in the pic, to use as a template for those of us who aren't experienced as coders?

Is it supposed to be there?

Regards,
Doug

Hey Doug,

You have to add your own CSS when you define your ranks badges. The CSS isn't really necessary unless you are going to define more than one badge that uses the same CSS...this lets you be more efficient.

The screenshot just shows an example of CSS classes being defined.

Ok, tried it and still nothing appears using vBullletin 4.1.3PL8 as a rank for the user named Badger. (see attached)

Most likely mod is not compatible with 4.1 series... just a guess?

Doug

Mark...

In order to save my old brain a lot of time and possible mistakes, could you copy the text versions of the code you show in your graphic pic of your mod into a post here?

Thanks .. appreciate it..

Regards,
Doug

It is nearly identical to the HTML/CSS badges I designed for the site I help admin, and I would rather not make them available to the public, as I want them to be somewhat unique to that site.

It is up to you to design your own badges to fit your site...the same knowledge required to use vBulletin's intrinsic "Ranks Manager" is also required for this product. This product just allows you to assign such badges to individual users without having to create usergroups for those users.

Thank you Stratis .. :)

This makes the mod very useful to non coders... appreciate it..

How would I make the background a nice shade of blue instead of red?

Regards,
Doug

Edit: As soon as more then 1 username is added to the list, the rank stops showing up in forums. If you just use a single username, it works for that user. (see attached)

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:00 PM.
