Yes, that would be nice
So a user can make up his own status after he reaches a certain ammount of posts?

Yeah, after the member reaches the $MemberMinimum, they'll have the option
of selecting their own custom rank.

That will also add member stars in this format:

5 stars - Administrator
4 stars - Moderator
3 stars - Senior Member
2 stars - Junior Member

You can use this star:

If you are having any problems, post them here. They are most likely because
I may have missed a step or documented it incorrectly.

Tested on: 5.42 and 5.43

A fun hobby that only cost me $170. :E

Nicely done Sir Nikon...

Can you maybe post that hack without the star hack added in? I am using the galaga hack which is also on this board.

-Sock

Yes, if this can just be posted without any other hacks in it that would be great

*bump*

wierd, its not working

the stars work and all and I think I put everything in. Where do you make the rank of yourself? In the profile?

Yeah, it's open to those that only have the $MemberMinimum for posts.

If you want to have the hack alone, just remove the $MemberStars area from the hack...

can admin's change their rank also? Cause I dont see it.

I think I found out the problem....I dont know anything about perl/cgi and Im an idiot

Like I said... it is open to those that have the member minimum in posts. If an admin doesn't have say 55 posts, then they can't pick a s specla st.

I installed your hack just like you said, and now I have the stars, but no rank. In your profile, you can save the custom rank, but in threads, under your name, the new rank doesn't appear.

Any idea what might be wrong?

Well, I have an BIG problem using the hack..

Ok, I've installed it and all that, the stars work, BUT when I try to access my profile I get an server error.. And also nobody can register no more... What did I do wrong here...

I know the problem is in "ubbmisc.cgi" because when I uploaded the original everything worked, also the stars, but not the status change thing.... HELP!

Hmm... did you upload ubbmisc.cgi in ASCII? CHMOD it 755? I dunno what could be wrong because I gave someone a URL to this and they got it working just fine...

I got the stars but the Custom Title didn't work. The field shows up in profiles but the title does not appear and when you go back to profiles, it is not there.

I'm using 5.41a

Steve www.ravensnest2.com/ubb/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

I'm having the same problem as these other folks ... It "appears" to be there, but never shows up when you post.

~Kat

Yup, I posted that in the questions thing. I have version 5.42

****, when I write the new rank, and when I post it doesn't show the new rank.. What's up???

Hmm... crap. : I dunno what's wrong.

Thanks Sir Nikon for this awesome hack and Pretender for fixing that problem

If I had a dollar for all the times I bought a cheeseburger...I would probably go out and buy more cheeseburgers...

How could I allow people to have custom signtures, but make sure they're not too long or contain HMTL?

Just a thought

The hack already strips out HTML (see #Prepare CustomStat - prevent HTML, strip returns, do UBB Code), and makes use of the "cheap" limiter (just uses the maxlength variable of the input tag).

What a fool i've been

Just a thought

Ok guys I am trying to do this hack. I added all the code you have here. I have the Custom line appearing in my profile. I type in something and it does not appear in the messages. it is driving me nuts. I left out the star stuff at the end so I basiclay did not alter the ubb_library file in any way, but did all the rest. Was there something I had to modify in that section that had nothing to do with the stars?

I tired changing the [] number in various files and that di dnot do anything either. I also trie dupdating the forums. Nada.

Any help would be apprciated. This is my forst attempt at a hack. I just got this thing the other day

Since ubb_library2.pl is the file that generates the actual thread pages, you'll have to make some kind of modification to it.

Add this code, where Sir Nikon says:

Just a thought

I said screw it and added the code with the star hack. The stars work. Where my custom stat should be is the words custum stat.

Any Idea where I went wrong?

err what are we suppose to find in ubbmisc.cgi?

u told us what code to add but not what code to put below..

Umm... I told you everything to add and what to add it below.

I installed this on 5.45c but it didn't work until I did the following:

Or is it just me?
