Quite simply, if you have a donation system on your forums, you may wish to have a way of having donating members stand out from the freeloaders ;)

This hack will place text/icon/whatever you choose both within their profile and on their posts, in a spot of your choosing.

Administrators set whether a user is a contributor within the Admin control panel.

Please remember to backup your database first!!

This is a very simple hack including just a couple of file and template edits, and two new templates. The new templates and database changes are made by the included install file.

See this thread for screenshots :)

If there are any problems, please post below...

this is independant of groups, correct?

Certainly is - I didn't want something that was dependant on user groups :)

That looks awesome. Can the hack be configed in the user cp to show different titles (like user title) or images instead of just saying "Contributor"?

The 'Contributor' part is taken from its own template, so you can set it to be whatever you want HTML-wise. As for different user titles, not at this time...

i will be testing this hack soon. i'm interested in using it. :)

Thanks!! Been waiting for this one!! :)

I've just started my forums' donation system, so you should be able to see a demo there once someone makes a donation (!)... :)

Hey..instead of it saying "Contributor" how can I make it say "Contributor" and under it have an image? And also, instead of it saying "Contributor" how do I change what it says? I've looked in the templates but that didn't help...Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! :)

Just edit the relevant template :) (postbit_donation)
