Farman and maddoghalo1, to change/add positions you want your users to apply for, you would have to edit the following lines in the template staff_app (x2)

<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_mod_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="Moderator" />$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_mod]<br />
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_smod_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="Super Moderator" />$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_smod]<br />
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_admin_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="Administrator" />$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_admin]
</if>

More specifically, you would change value="whatever here" and change the phrases ($vbphrase[usml_staffapp_mod]), or hardcode your options in there versus using phrases

Suoerb mod installed on 3.8.4 patch level 1 and working a treat thanks!!!

[Farman]

Thanks for helping, but I can't get it to work. I made the changes in staff_app template but not appearing in the Settings nor the Form itself. and I can't find staff_app (x2) template.

Heres the code:

<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_gfx_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="GFX Team" />$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_gfx]<br />
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_mod_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="Moderator" />$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_mod]<br />
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_smod_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="Super Moderator" />$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_smod]<br />
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_admin_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="Administrator" />$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_admin]
</if>

I also made a new phrase with the following details:

Template: Global
Product: [U.S. Military Life] Staff Application
Varname: usml_staffapp_gfx
Text: GFX Team

But not worked...

[HMBeaty]

Since you added this...

<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_gfx_onoff'] == '1'"></if>

Did you add an option in your vBulletin options to turn this on/off? If not, remove that if condition and it should work

And "staff_app (x2)" means, you need to edit the template (staff_app) 2 times, because these options appear twice in that template

[Farman]

How to add an option for this in Vbulletin options to turn it off/on? I've just edited the staff_app (x2) template

[giraffesyo]

Is it possible to add prefixes to the thread creation depending on which position you are applying for?

[BlownFiveLiter]

Installed. :up:

[karlm]

Can the options for positions be changed?

e.g. I won't be accepting 'admin' applications ever, as I handpick them myself. But, I'd like to able to offer various positions (links editor, forum1 mod, forum2 mod, forum33 mod, blog moderator, etc.)
