Paid Member Icon - UBB.Developers

UBB.Dev

I am looking for a way to add a "Paid Member" icon under the ranking stars in a members profile. I am changing the board to a allow for members to make a "donation" and would like to put an icon in that shows that they are a paid supporter. How can I do this??

Just install the avatars hack, or jimbos customs status hack. Then just assign a paid member an icon or some custom text of your choosing.

Thanks!! Worked Great!!

No problems mate.

I currently have the starshack2000 installed on my board v5.47e. What will happen if I try to also install the avatars hack or Jimbo custom status hack? Wouldn't that give conficting results?

Is there a way to hack the starshack2000 to give certain members a custom hack?

Perhaps finding this:

code:

Code

if ($ThisStatus eq "Administrator") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "Administrator
<img src="$NonCGIURL/Admin1.gif">

";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "Moderator
<img src="$NonCGIURL/star2.gif">

";

And changing it to this:

code:
[qb]

Code

if ($ThisStatus eq "Administrator") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "Administrator
<img src="$NonCGIURL/Admin1.gif">

";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "Moderator
<img src="$NonCGIURL/star2.gif">

";
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "EXACTUSERNAME") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "CUSTOMUSERNAME
<img src="$NonCGIURL/CUSTOMUSERNAME.gif">

";

[/qb]

For each custom member status, just add a new "elsif" line with their EXACTUSERNAME? Is this possible? I haven't tried this but to me it sounds too easy...

Thanks in advance...

The this status variable doesnt contain the username, it contains the 'Status' of the user, ie Admin/Mod/Member etc...

Im not sure of those 2 hacks will conflict, so backup your board and try it out ?
Otherwise Id look into the custom profle fields hack to store an extra line in theie member file. This is what Ive done on our v5 board, was add an extra profile field, which contains weather the member has made a donation or not.

Good luck!

I don't use the star rank per se but I do have a system to acknowledge paying members. I use this code:

Code

}
if ($thisline[2] eq "username") {
$ThisStatus = "<img src="/ubb/icon/username.gif">
Member":

You could add a break with their star rank in there.

Don't forget to make backups.

Deb,

Thanks so much for your help. I had to alter it a bit but I got it to work just fine. In the starshack2000 I took this:

code:

Code

if ($ThisStatus eq "Administrator") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "Administrator
<img src="$NonCGIURL/admin.gif" alt="Administrator" width="61" height="12">

";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "Moderator
<img src="$NonCGIURL/mod.gif" alt="Moderator" width="61" height="12">

";
}

And replaced it with this:

code:
[qb]

Code

if ($ThisStatus eq "Administrator") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "Administrator
<img src="$NonCGIURL/admin.gif" alt="Administrator" width="61" height="12">

";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
						
                                    $ThisStatus = "Moderator
<img src="$NonCGIURL/mod.gif" alt="Moderator" width="61" height="12">

";
}

elsif ($thisline[2] eq "USERNAME") {$ThisStatus = "Sponsor
<img src="$NonCGIURL/USERNAME.gif">"
}

[/qb]

Thanks again!

Glad I could help Greg! BTW, I do have those status lines above as you've shown. I was trying to show what I have for the paying members.

I'm happy it worked for you!
