I like it *installs*

Is there a way to get the install instructions for edits to the other files
where you could display the staff titles? Such as the member / members list. I have done
this myself with the members page - trying to figure out the memberslist page.

Thanks

Cool hack, and much needed on my board

Although the Rank system COULD be used for this, we also use images to denote rank via # of posts, so staff was left without the post rank indicator. Plus, we use a lor of usergroups that can be set as primary display group, which makes it impossible to use them for staff indication purposes.

Installed.

Can this only be changed from the admincp, or can the mods change their own?

message from my admin guy...

I am having a hard time understanding this

====================================
Run this query
====================================
+---------------------+
ALTER TABLE user ADD (
staffrank varchar(100) not null default ''
)
+---------------------+


I dont know what to put in the run query box... This can seriously f$%& up our board... and it is irreversable..

So Im hessitant..

Admincp -> Import & Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query

Then you past:
[sql]
ALTER TABLE user ADD (
staffrank varchar(100) not null default ''
)
[/sql]

In that box. Just so you know, this is irreversable.

can you please update the 3.0.X version to inclide HTML markup like the 3.5 version?

[Timbeaux38]

Thanks Man!

Great hack!

/me clicks install!

[yoyoyoyo]

this is not my day... I installed this hack and now I am unable to change the staff title. When I go the the ACP and change the user title, and click submit the title does not change, so now the only way to edit it is via phpMyadmin... any ideas?

Hmmm, thats odd. I don't have vB 3.0.x installed on my computer anymore, but I don't remember having this problem. Anyone else having this problem?
