Badges
 

<a href="http://www.visualbasicforum.com" target="_blank">www.visualbasicforum.com</a> uses a hack one of the members wrote where the administrators can give different badges to members. They have a leader badge to show whose a helpful person on the forum, a guru badge to show who can figure most stuff out, and a badge for moderators and admins. I have attached a screenshot to show how it looks, how hard would this be to write?

looks nice :D

Ask for someone to make it in the "Requests" forum :D

I;ve seen a hack like this posted already. You can assign a littke 13x13 pixel image with users...

Search the hacks forum

Do you have any idea what it might be called? I looked but there are so many I can test them all.

you might be able to use the awards hack on this site, just do a search for it :)

Well, it seems no one is accepting. I was told that basically it would just be displaying a image to the right of the names and some other minor edits. This would be a really cool hack to do. I know people wonder if any hacks are left, well here is one that no ones doing :(

You don't really need a hack to do this.

Create a new custom profile field. Call it "Badge". Set it to NO in all options (not customizable by member, not seen in profile etc.)

Find out what the custom profile id number is by putting your mouse over the link to edit it, and looking at the number at the end.

Then, in your postbit template, add this:

<img src=$post[fieldx]>

where you want the "badge" to show up. Replace x with the custom profile id number.

You can do the same for the user's profile - in the "getinfo" template, add this:

<img src=$userinfo[fieldx]>

where you want the "badge" to show up too.

Then, when you want to give a "badge" to a member, go to your Admin CP, edit the user profile, and in that "Badge" custom profile space, put in the full URL to that image. You can use different images for different badges.

Done! :)

It works great man! :) Thank you sooo much. There is however one problem. For some reason on everyone who DOESNT have a badge image linked in that field, it puts the little square with the red X (symbolizing no image to load) next to their name. How do I fix this?
