Title Class Hack
 

This hack is similar in idea to the Job Class Hack, except designed for users who don't want all the RPG options attached to it, and want an easy means to edit it through the control panel.

What does it do?

The Title Class Hack allows you to categorize your user titles via the control panel. Each title is assigned to a "titleclass" via a drop down list of available classes.

The Title Classes are conveniently listed in the modify section of the user titles panel, showing each title underneath it's respective class.

Whenever you update user titles through the control panel, or whenever a user makes a new post, their user title is normally updated based upon their thread count.
This hack adds a new check into that, altering the user title based only on those titles that are in the same class as the one the user selected.

Users can easily select their Title Class via the Profile section of the User Control Panel.

This hack was written on version 2.2.6, but will likely work on any other 2.2.x version.

This hack has already been tested by a few friends, but I wanted to get some of you guys involved before posting it as a full release.

Very cool idea. I think there is a similar hack like this already, but it's a good idea anyway. :)

Is there, I looked all over for one, and the only things I could find that were similar had a whole bunch of RPG-related options included, and not as friendly an interface for changing titles and such.

So I figured i may as well make my own :)

I think there is, but who cares? There wasn't one recently, and I am getting this hack. :)

Just please confirm for me that everything works fine, so that I can move this hack to the full releases forum. :)

This is a great idea. Think you can just do this to make it to where you can select different things for each user group instead of class they select?

Is there anyway to QUOTE the message thread you are PMing about?

In other words, I see a good post in the thread. The PM user button, when pressed, will quote the URL of the message (or thread) in the PM with something like, "Regarding your post: url blah blah" where the URL address would reside?

Ohhh, this is nice. Now if only it could do what Vincent asked already: tie the various title-ladders to specific usergroups instead of letting the users choose.

But I bet I can edit that myself too :)

I'm sorry, ethics, what are you talking about? I don't think that has anything to do with my hack.

I'll see about adding that option in a future release... I hadn't even thought about it..... shouldn't be too difficult. Maybe I could even find a way for it to allow only certain classes for certain usergroups....

I'll definately look into it.
