New Profile field...

[Metropolitan]

Hi @ll

is it possible to create a customn profile field where the users could select which kind of user ranks they wanna have in their postbit(_legacy) info?

I have no idea of coding :ermm:

I hope someone could help me :nervous:

YEs just create a single select User Profile field.

To create the new profile field isn´t the problem i guess, but how to manage, that if they choose a type of ranks, exactly these ranks are shown up in the postbit?

Example:

User 1 selects rank type "Army" --> Army ranks are shown up in the postbit(_legacy)
User 2 selects rank type "Navy" --> Navy ranks are shown up in the postbit(_legacy)

Not sure what your using for ranks or how its done but ... in the postbit I would add something like this

<img src="www.mysite.com/board/images/ranks/$post[fieldx]/$rank">

$post[fieldx] = x would be the field # and would choose the folder the images are in.

$rank = would be like corporal, seargent, major, private, etc but this part depends on the hack your using itself.

At the moment i´m using the normal rank system from vBulletin, but there i can only use one type of ranks (like army) and the rank depends on the amount of posts :s

Oooooo... there is a hack around here somewhere for 3.0.x I believe that will give you different types of ranks for different usergroups - I think that is what you want.

You would just have a army / navy as secondary joinable usergroups.

Well, i guess i found it, but it´s for 2.2.x :disappointed:

and i have no idea how to do it for 3.5.0 RC2 :ermm:
