Hi all,
I just wrote a hack to add 3 custom titles based on number of user posts. So now it goes from Jr. Member to Member to L2Member, L3, and L4.
The code works fine but I cannot figure out how to get the user profiles to update with the new titles. I can see that field 7 is the number of posts and field 8 is the title in the user profile file. I have tried clearing the cache, rebuilding user stats and history files and rebuilding all forums. Nothing seems to update the user profiles... am I missing something, or is this a bit of code I need to write? If so, can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction?
Finally, is this a hack anyone would be interested in??
Thanks in advance for the help!
Chris

This was just done as a mod request from my members. No readme... just did it on the fly. I could probably write one when I get a free minute. What did you need to know?

OK, LD, sorry about the confusion... didn't put "readme" together with the actual hack code. Here is the file: http://www.mythosproductions.com/CustomTitlesHack.txt Seems to be working well so far. As a member posts, his/her profile gets updated correctly. I just want to be able to update them as part of the hack install. Thanks for the input, Chris

I'll get the code for you to add in public_display_profile.pl.

Much obliged. Does the hack look OK? Seems there must be a more OO way of doing the extended selection statements but I just wanted to get it done.

No I haven't yet. I've tried a few things but they haven't worked...

Are you working on the mod to update the user profiles?

No. I was just trying to help you with your problem.

Well, like I said, everything seems to have worked just fine. It is just that the user profile files do not get updated until a user posts. I thought there would be a control panel function to address that but none of them seemed to do the trick.
Should one of them update the user profiles?
