Expanded User Title Manager

[carolc]

Thanks for looking at my request. No, I mean User Titles (in the admincp, it’s just under ‘User Albums’ in the left nav bar). You can enter a User Title and a value for “Minimum Posts”, then the title will change once the user meets the next minimum post count level. The only way to update these titles is individually (click Edit, modify, save). I just want one big screen with an editable field beside each title so I can modify all the “Minimum Posts” in one shot.

Simple example:

Say my current titles include these

• Newbie 1 post
  
• Title1 50 posts
  
• Title2 100 posts
  
• Title3 150 posts
  
• Title 4 200 posts

Then let's say I got an idea for a new title and want to insert it, like this

• Newbie 1 post
  
• Title1 50 posts
  
• Title2 100 posts
  
• Title 2b 150 posts <--new title
  
• Title 3 200 posts
  
• Title 4 250 posts

As is it now, I’d have to individually edit “Title 3” and “Title 4” because I want the post count requirements for those to be higher. Manually editing these wouldn’t be so bad if I only had a few titles, but I have around 40 or so already, and people are asking for many more. I want to add a bunch of titles at the top of the list, so would have to individually edit 40 files (likely multiple times as I tweek it). I may have 75 or so by the time I’m done… so going forward it will be a huge pain to insert anything unless it's at the very end of the list.

I don’t know php, but in pseudo sql, I’m hoping that the code would build an update query something like this:

Update titles (whatever the name of the table is)
Set “Title 1” = 50, “Title 2” = 100, “Title 3” = 200, “Title 4” = 250
(dynamically creating the update query, of course, using data from the screen). I'll then go back and add "Title 2b" afterwards.

vBulletin has this sort of admin screen for many other features (e.g. the Smilie Manager) – it has an editable “Display Order” field with a “Save Display Order” button… I want it to work just like this, just for Titles.

Does that help clarify my request?

Thanks,
Carol
