simple level hack

[Bitsys]

I am sort of new at this stuff too, but I think the following should work:

In your admin directory in functions.php (back up functions.php before editing it) find:

PHP Code:

// do posts from ignored users
    if (($ignore[$post[userid]] and $post[userid] != 0)) {
        eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_ignore")."\";");
    } else {
        eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
    }
    return $retval; 


It should be at the end of the getpostbit function.

Insert before it:

PHP Code:

$level = $post[posts] / 50;
$level = floor ($level + 1); 


Go to the postbit template (in the admin cp) and and use the following code to display the level of the person:

PHP Code:

Level: $level<br> 


I tested it on my boards and it worked so let me know if you have any questions or problems. As I said before, I am still kind of new at this stuff too. BTW, You can change the actual wording of the level display in postbit, just use $level wherever you want to insert that person's level.
