here it is sorry for the long wait, i do things then wait so long to document them i forget how they work lol.
BEFORE INSTALLING:
you will need the hack which allows for the use of combo (dropdown) boxes in the user profile fields
when it's done, you'll need a custom user profile field called "Rankset" using the dropdown combobox (otherwise people will have to type in rankset names by hand instead of selecting from a list)
run the install script (attatched to this post)
and modify the code (below)
then use the ranks admincenter to add ranks.
look for this code in admin/functions.php
on a sidenote, you'll see [field8] below, in userfields find out which is your last unused custom user field and use that (change the number in this script) or simply add a new column in phpmyadmin, the custom user field (8) stores the rank info for that user
PHP Code:
if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {
$post[avatar]="";
} else {
eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");
}
if ($post[customtitle]==2) {
$post[usertitle] = htmlspecialchars($post[usertitle]);
}
right after it put this:
PHP Code:
//START MULTI RACE HACK
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM userfield WHERE userid='$post[userid]'");
$userinfo = mysql_fetch_array($res);
mysql_free_result($res);
//go through all of the ranks, seeing which postcount fits which pip
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM rankcategories WHERE cat_name='$userinfo[field8]'");
$rankinfo = mysql_fetch_array($res);
mysql_free_result($res);
if(!isset($rankinfo[cat_id]) || strlen($rankinfo[cat_id])<1)
{
$rankinfo[cat_id]=1;
}
$rankposts = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM ranks WHERE rank_catid='$rankinfo[cat_id]'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rankposts))
{
if($post[posts]>=$row[rank_posts])
{
$temppostcount = $row[rank_posts];
}
}
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ranks WHERE rank_catid='$rankinfo[cat_id]' AND rank_posts='$temppostcount'");
$rank = mysql_fetch_array($res);
mysql_free_result($res);
$rankpip = "<img src=$rank[rank_graphic]>";
$post[usertitle]="$post[usertitle]<br>$rankpip";
//END MULTI RANK HACK
