Aaler - BG
Fina - BG

Members:

Aamoon - COL
Beats - LTC
Eyo - MAJ
Yian - CPT
Kabb - 1LT
Vash - PVT
and so on

Or even just a way to be able to move names up and down on the roster in the order you want them to be displayed in.


Thanks

I had a need for something similiar what your asking for here. Instead of the text for the rank I used the rank image, then I named those specific ranks (In User Profile field) with a number of the order I wanted them displayed by. Then when sorted they will fall in the roster by the number order. Its sort of a headache but it looks nice.

My Roster

You'll need to modify your showroster.php and include something similiar to the below.

After

$usercount++;

Add the below, modified to your ranks

$classurl = 'images/spacer.gif';
if ($user[field9] == '1 - Area General') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/AGEN.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '2 - Brigade General') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/BGEN.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '3 - General') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/GEN.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '4 - Lieutenant General') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/LTG.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '5 - Colonel') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/COL.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '6 - Lieutenant Colonel') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/LTC.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '7 - Major') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/MAJ.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '8 - Captain') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/CPT.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '9 - Lieutenant') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/LT.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '10 - Sergeant') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/SGT.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '11 - Corporal') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/CPL.gif'; }
if ($user[field9] == '12 - Private 1st Class') { $classurl = 'forum/images/custom/PFC.gif'; }
$classimage = '<img src="'.$classurl.'" border="0" alt="'.$user[field9].'">';

In your showroster_userbits templates you need to add the below where you want it to fall in the roster and add a column heading in the showroster_header

<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">$classimage1</td>

Of course make sure you include those images. Its been awhile since I did this and i'm not that savy. But, I hope this helps
