Community support hack

[peterska2]

ok, there is probably a really long winded way of doing this, but this way definately works.

Create your images and decide on donation amounts per image.

Create some new secondary usergroups for each amount donated (you can use these to control additional forum access, PM box quota's, larger avatar sizes etc).

Set up paid subscriptons for those amounts, ensuring that each amount is assigned to a different user group selected from the ones created above, as a secondary group.

Set up user ranks per secondary usergroup, adding the link to the image, setting the usergroup to the correct one to show that image, and set the postcount to 0.

When you have set up all the user ranks, click the link that says about rebuilding user ranks, then click the rebuild user ranks button. It may take a while for this to run depending on the number of members.

Finally add the following to your navbar

find

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Add below

<if condition="$show[member]"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="payments.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Donate</a></td></if>

Save it, and you are done.



[edit]
Hellcat's way will work, but requires a modification to do so, and also is not automatic. This way uses standard features, is automatic, and just one small template modification which is optional.
