Mark as contributor hack...

[MarkB]

I'm not sure if anyone's done this already (but I couldn't find a hack for it!):

I've written a hack for those who have a donation system on their forums, and wish to have the users who've contributed marked as such on their posts and in profiles without adding an extra user group.

Basically, on their posts it can have either a text line or an image (it's up to you), and on their profile it'll say:

Username - Contributor (or any other word you choose)

Admin can update this through the CP.

I haven't documented it yet, and it's probably buggy - so, the gist of this post (he finally gets to his point!) is whether anyone's interested in trying out the code before I release it? It works fine for me, but there may be some other functions I've missed out on...

Pls PM if you're interested (or just reply here).

Some examples:

Contributor setting in the control panel

Basic presentation within a thread/postbit:

Displaying whether someone is a contributor, within their profile

(example with a contributor, and a non-contributor)

Sounds great Mark, i'm willing to help you with testing the code. I'm using 2.0.3.

Sure I'll be glad.

Thinking about it, I could probably use it here too with a modification or two... I was planning to have something like this for Hacker of the Month.

It works perfect here, no problems. Easy & fast install.
