Ok.. this one is a bastage.

I know you you can set users titles based on post count.. and you can even set custom user titles based on post count and the amount of time the member has been registered.

Is there ANY way to merge post count, registration date AND referrals to equal advancement in the user title "ladder"?

I will kiss the smelly toe of anyone who can tell me how to do this.

What I know is that this can't be done without hacking. Sorry!

I know the folks over at http://www.coolsigforum.com had soething like that set up... where yout title advancement was based on your post count PLUS a hidden value based on how many "kudos" other users had given you for good posts.

Well as I know nothing about hacking or PHP it would be stupid to listen to me, ... I am just curious to see if this would be the way to do it....

Find the php file that references the variable for the title and change it to equal $title = postcount + referals + date joined.

And in the admin panel change the portion where
0-50 = newbie
50-100 = expert
ect
ect

to reflect the values you would get from adding all that.

anyhow - good luck.

I need user titles (not custom user titles) to be based on post count, registration date, referrals and a custom field called victory points. I should be able to set the required amount of each in the admincp under user titles (modify and add) for each user title.

I also need all of those fields to appear under each members user name in threads. Post count, and registration date already do... but referrals and victory points need to be added.

also.. the board already calculates post count, registration date, and referrals... so victory points will be manually added to each user by me via the admincp

from what I understand, most of the code for this already exists... so its just a matter of it being placed in the right spots

a working version is worth at least 50 bucks to me

There's a simple script I wrote to add-remove points.

Showing all this info under a user's name/avatar is a template modification.

But... let me get this clear...

Right now NORMAL titles are based off of post count...

Instead, you want NORMAL titles to be based off of post count, days registered, referrals and victory points?

This should be fairly doable, actually...

I'm unfamiliar with the referral system, but I should be able to puzzle it out.

The rest should be easy.

Now, how do you want these things weighted?

Everything needs to be converted to a single number...

But are referrals worth the same amount as, say, days registered? Or posts?

Shouldn't victory points count for more than posts as well?

Come up with those numbers for the final version, will ya?
