Hey,

I've just downloaded this mod and I was wondering if I could change the names of the positions to apply to.
from Administrator, moderator and supermoderator into Forum moderator, news Poster and Spam Banner( or something)

Could you tell me how to do this ?

Thanks,
Rik

You have to edit the template in order to change the ranks you want users to apply for.

Note that you must edit the template in 2 separate areas for it to work correctly

Nobody has posted whether or not this works on 3.6.x so I'm not sure. I will test and have an answer for you tomorrow if that is ok?

[HMBeaty]

<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>

You need to change the value="" and the $vbphrase[]

[glyniel]

the mod, smod and admin, into what do i change that if i want it: news poster, support team and sales team ?

[HMBeaty]

I explained how to change them in my post above....

But you could do this

<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_mod_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="News Poster" />News Poster<br />
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_smod_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="Support Team" />Support Team<br />
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions['usml_postitionapplying_admin_onoff'] == '1'">
		<input type="radio" name="position_applying" value="Sales Team" />Sales Team
</if>
