Not sure why this one was closed... if it should be, let me know...

Great Job DragonWarez! I was searching for something like this and you made it happen

where should i do this???
"Now just set up the names and status"

You have to set up the names of the members you want the special names to be given to.

I was wondering why it was closed to.

anyone willing to make a section in the CP for this? (just to be a little easier)

Hey, how about updating Jimbo's Hack to 6.0!
Here's the Hack:
---------------------------
Here's the code, which needs to be inserted in both ubb_library2.pl and ubbmisc.cgi:


code:

Ok, now you're done with the code-hacking... the only thing left to do is to create a file called title-list.file in your Members directory, and enter membernames and special titles in it like so:

code:

That's it! Now all you have to do to give a member a special title is to add a line to your new title-list.file with the member's name (must be exact!), a |!!| as a separator, and the special title you wish to use immediately following.

Your title-list2.file should also be placed in the Members area and is formatted similarly to the title-list.file, except that the first field is post count instead of user name. This is what I have in my own:


code:

So anyone with more than zero posts is a Newbie, more than 10 posts is a Neophyte, more than 30 is a Regular, and more than 50 is a Veteran. You can enter in as many levels as you want - but you need to be sure that you've got them in numeric order! If you don't have the post count titles in numeric order in your title-list2.file, then you will get incorrect results.

That's not updated for UBB 6, that's still the version for 5. Anyone tried to attempt this for UBB 6 yet?

I meant the one above my last post. Not the top thread post.

In accordance with the first post in this thread, how do you make that work based upon # of posts a person has made?

HRM....i was looking something that can tell whether ther person has Pvt Access and diplays name as VIP Member or something...oh well, i can do it my self
thanks

I cannot seem to get this hack to work.
Is DragonWarez on this line supposed to be the login name or the public display name?

Are these lines for additional names you would like to assign custom titles to or are they all part of the assignment to one custom title?

It would be helpful if you could please provide more detailed instructions other than just "Now just set up the names and status."

Yeah you have to change where he puts dragonwarez to the user you want to give the custom status to. Then change the "Tech Admin" he has there to whatever status you want to give them....he wrote the hack three times so if you are only giving it to one person, just delete the other lines.

I was wondering...I did something stupid tonight. I got bored so I went to the members folder to just poke around and I opened up my girlfriend's user number. I bumped her posts from 35 posts to 112 posts, but now she has lost her custom status. Is there anyway to fix this? What have I done?? Seriously...she isn't going to be happy in the morning when she finds out.

Ok, I understand the tech admin part. But I still don't know if I have to use the login name or the public display name for the indi viduals I wish to have custom titles, or if there are any other things that have to be done.

I actually just used the login name. Some of my users used some long display names so I tried the login first. So if I wanted to add one for myself here it would be something like..

if ($thisline[2] eq "tw1112")
{$custom_title = "Hello Everyone";
}

Because tw1112 is my login and my display name..and hello everyone is my new status.
Then that should be it...save the file and upload it in ascii.

Its the login name.
Does anyone want a hack that will add special names like if you have 20 post this status 50 post this status and so on.

I thought someone already made it, but they have not then I would personally like that 'hack'.

Just wanted to say I now got it working. Thanks for the great hack!

PLEASE!!!!!!(DO SO)

Hack already exists. You can either use Jimbo's Custom Status/Rank hack or Dark Templar's Stars hack (both are in UBB 6 beta mods forum)

q

Would someone mail me the hack that works on 6.05 (aftershock edition) and will add more ranks?? Because I think 2 (four incl. Admin and Mod) is not enough. rikkert@steenbergen-19.myweb.nl

To what file, and where in the file do i add this coding?


~C.T.

P.S. I was looking for this exact thing!


EDIT: nevermind, i finally read the whole thing over, and that's a big help

[ 09-24-2001: Message edited by: Crazzeh Timmeh ]

ok, i inserted the code, and am getting this error


and this one what do i do now?


~C.T.

You have hacked ubb_lib.cgi incorrectly.

Hi. Bit stuck here.

This has worked fine for all my users except one. Matter of fact, I can't figure out why it doesn't work for that specific user, since the ones above, and below, her in the command line, in the user list as well, all work fine.

Anyone have a clue? Thanks.
