Simple rank images hack

The stars hack wasn't really what I was looking for, so I came up with this.

This is a simple way to show rank images (based on post count) under your member's usernames in the postbit.
Since its based on post counts rather than titles, it works no matter if your users have custom titles or not.

PS: Hopefully I'm not re-inventing the wheel here.. :laugh: If someone has already posted this, my appologies, and feel free to delete this.

I have the same hack on my forum but its called the Pips and Stars hack and updated to perfection by TinTin and Guichi of PGamers. I like it its pretty nice addition to the forum.

is the zip-file ok, the txt file in, i can't open with ultraedit, just notepad, and it didn't show up well

You're right.. I opened the text file with my work compter and it looks all messed up.. Weird, it looked fine on my home computer. *shrugs*

Anyway, I updated the first post with readable instructions.

open it in WordPad, it looks fine in that

@Evil: ahh, ok, my comp is ok
Yes, i'd know how to code it to make a real similar functions than usertitles, but i don't have the time to do

i'd say look into how the usertitle is updated at the users maybe you can find out how to do
see it as a quest, it's not needed, but why not

I'm actually working on a hack right now (well it's not for this purpose but ok ill release it for this purpose lol)

Poeple might be interested in it.

I'm sure there's a way integrate this with the CP like the stars hack, but thats something that I don't think I'd really need since this works fine for me and I'll probably never change rank images anyway. But if someone wants to make a more advanced version, go for it!

BTW, if anyone wants to give mods, admins and supermods the highest rank or a special rank no matter what their post count is, you could just add something like this:

if (($post[usergroupid] ==5) || ($post[usergroupid] ==6) || ($post[usergroupid] ==7)) {
$rank = "<img src=\"http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/specialrank.gif\">";
}

This does't work if I go above 1500 posts?

if ($post[posts]<=19) { 
$rank="<img src=\"http://www.binarydreams.us/forums/images/ranks/rank0.gif\">";
}
   else if ($post[posts]<=149) { 
$rank="<img src=\"http://www.binarydreams.us/forums/images/ranks/rank1.gif\">";
}
   else if ($post[posts]<=599) { 
$rank="<img src=\"http://www.binarydreams.us/forums/images/ranks/rank2.gif\">";
}
   else if ($post[posts]<=1499) { 
$rank="<img src=\"http://www.binarydreams.us/forums/images/ranks/rank3.gif\">";
}
   else if ($post[posts]>=2599) { 
$rank="<img src=\"http://www.binarydreams.us/forums/images/ranks/rank4.gif\">";
}
   else if ($post[posts]>=9999) { 
$rank="<img src=\"http://www.binarydreams.us/forums/images/ranks/rank5.gif\">";
}
   else if ($post[posts]>=10001) { 
$rank="<img src=\"http://www.binarydreams.us/forums/images/ranks/rank6.gif\">";
}
