Staff / User ranking for postbit!

Hi,

What this does is enable a staff or user rank via template modifications, its so simple that it doesnt require no plugin and anybody can do it! For a live demo visit;

installation guide

• Login to your admin panel and go to your postbit template (or legacy)

search

<div class="vb_postbit_info">$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]</div>

and above add

<!-- MentaL -- Ranking -->
<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == 6"><div class="vb_postbit_info"><b>Rank:</b> Administrator</div></if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == 7"><div class="vb_postbit_info"><b>Rank:</b> Moderator</div></if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == 5"><div class="vb_postbit_info"><b>Rank:</b> Super Moderator</div></if>
<! -- MentaL -- Ranking -->

(now save!) to add additional rankings for users or staff simply edit the XX in red to the usergroup number and the XX blue to the rank title you wish to give them. (as shown below)

<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == XX"><div class="vb_postbit_info"><b>Rank:</b> XX</div></if>

Enjoy.

Marquee

If you want to have your special usergroups stand out more, why not use a marquee like myself...

To do this simply use a code as follows

<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == 6"><div class="vb_postbit_info"><MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=ALTERNATE><b>Rank:</b> Administrator</div></if></marquee>

<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=ALTERNATE> Ranking </marquee>

Coloured rankings!!

if you check here you notice that i am using coloured username markups, you can match that colour to the ranking pretty easy!

Here is an example code

<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == 5"><div class="vb_postbit_info"><b>Rank:</b> <font color="#CE1800">Super Moderator</font></div></if>

set your board to use postbit legacy instead of postbit in your vb admincp settings. make sure the edits you want are to postbit legacy, which is with the user info down the side instead of atop the post.

check your closing tags in your template edit, spelling, missing bracket, etc. most likely that's the issue.

anyone who wants to do this for 3.7, search for this text instead of the old text in your templates...

<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if>

and/or place it where you want it to go...
