Mini Mods - DONATIONS - Icon for those who've made a donation - POSBIT or POSTBIT_LEGACY vB 4.0.x

What is this?


This is a little hack/mod/template change (call it what you will).

When a member makes a Money Donation to the forum - They can get rewarded by placing a small 'Gold Trophy Icon' (see Pic) beneath their username in the Postbit or Postbit_Legacy. (depandant of which one your forum uses).

Hover you mouse over that Icon Image and you will see " XXX has made a donation to the forum!"


What Do I do?


You do the following...


STEP 1; Upload the donation.gif image to your forum?s ?images/misc? folder, in your forum?s route directory.

STEP 2; Set Up a Usergroup.

This usergroup will have a ?donation Trophy? with alt code, displayed under the Member?s USERNAME in their Postbit or postbit_Legacy (dependant on which you use).

AdminCP-> Usergroups -> Add New Usergroup ->

? Create Usergroup Based off of Usergroup: Registered Users
? Default Forum Permissions: You choose this
? Title: Donators
? Description: The Members of this Group have all made one or more Donations to the forum
? User Title: Leave this Blank
? Username HTML Markup: Leave this Blank
? Password Expiry: Leave this Blank
? Password History: Leave this Blank

Public Groups Settings:

? Public (Joinable) Custom Usergroups: No
? Can override primary group title/markup: No

The rest of this Group?s permissions is only known by and can be set, by you.

CLICK SAVE !


STEP 3: Postbit Template Edit:

AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Style (mine is Default Style) -> << >> -> Postbit Templates -> postbit ->

FIND:

<span class="postbit_reputation" id="repdisplay_{vb:raw post.postid}_{vb:raw post.userid}">{vb:raw post.reputationdisplay}</span>
                    </vb:if>
                    <vb:if condition="$post['userid']">

ADD BELOW:

<!-- Wy Donation Icon in postbit Start -->
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, X)"><img src="http://WWW. YOUR FORUM ADDRESS.COM/images/misc/trophy.gif" width="19" height="18" alt="{vb:raw post.username} has made a donation to the forum!" border="0"></vb:if><br/><br/>
<!-- Wy Donation Icon in postbit End -->

Enter the UsergroupID number in place of the green 'X'. And change the red Text, to that of your forum addess.

SAVE



STEP 4; Adding the Member to the Donators Usergroup:


All you need to do now is to add a Member to that usergroup, and the way in which to do this, Is?

AdminCP -> Users -> Search for User -> Enter the Username and Click Exact Match.

Under ?Usergroup Options? on the right, Select the ?Donators? tickbox. (See picture UM1 in attachments below).

Click Save.


Now you will see the ?Trophy? Icon on the Member?s Postbit.


And that is it !

Please Click Installed and Rate this Mod.

I did everything listed above but cannot get the trophy to show up. It's just a little box with a red x in it.

What I did was right click on the red x and see where it's looking for the icon at. And make sure the folder is in the spot it's looking for.

Hi OurCouponHome,

As suggested by pportuese, Right click on the red X within the Square, click on "Properties" and ensure the Donations image is in that location.

The red x within a square, is either:

• Image has not been uploaded
• Image has been uploaded to a different route to that shown

Please keep me updated on your progress.

Welshy, some of my icons don't pop up. 4 people in 1 group and only 2 of them show up.

This is my code:

<!-- Wy Sponsor Icon in postbit Start -->
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 11)"><img src="http://www.mitsuworld.com/forums/images/buttons/sitesponsor.jpg" width="185" height="57" alt="{vb:raw post.username} has accepted the sponsorship to the forum!" border="0"></vb:if><br/><br/>
<!-- Wy Sponsor Icon in postbit End -->

<!-- Wy Supporting Icon in postbit Start -->
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 9)"><img src="http://www.mitsuworld.com/forums/images/buttons/SUPPORTING.gif" width="185" height="57" alt="{vb:raw post.username} has donated to support the forum!" border="0"></vb:if><br/><br/>
<!-- Wy Supporting Icon in postbit End -->

I want code for 4 different groups so each group can have their own icon. So I think I'm on the right track because so far it's working.
However the 2nd group of coding for group 9. There are 4 members in that group. The picture only shows up for 2 of the 4 members. I took the other 2 members out of that group and readded them but no matter what they still don't get that picture.

[pportuese]

I don't get it. I'm still playing around with this.
I have 2 users that if I make them a MOD or a donating member they don't get the title under their name. It's only these 2 people.

[pportuese]

Figured it out finally!!!!!!!!! They won't get the icon if they don't have an avatar. I added them and avatar and it popped up!

[Taurus1]

It creates a space on the postbit_legacy for members that did not make a donation. How can I get rid of this please??
