Hi,

Thanks, Josh. These member specific hacks come in quite handy at the moment as we are about to launch some paid memberships on the board.

Sanuk!

Thanks Josh!

I'm planning to use this for users that made a donation to the site. I already tried Beta-[6.4] Admin Selectable Ratings 2.0, but that one isn't working yet for 6.4

Would it be possible to use an .gif image for the group instead of a title ?

Yeah, just instead of

"Bronze Member"

you could put

"<img src="http://whatever.com/what/whatever.gif" border="0" alt="Bronze Member" />"

great!

Thanks

How would we go about adding a link to this also so when clicking on the image it goes to a donation page or whatever?

ThankYou Soooooo much Josh!

Even better!

Great works well 6.4.1

For those using MyPaymentPal
I updated this so that it will display an image as well as a link to mypaymentpal.

This is setup for my personal stuff but you can change it to suite your needs.

Here is the orignial code for showflat.php

Code

<br />	// Figure out what to display based on their groups<br />	if (preg_match("/-5-/",$postergroup))  { // adjust this group number if needed<br />   			$postrow[$i]['GroupName'] = "Bronze Level";<br />    }<br />	if (preg_match("/-6-/",$postergroup))  { // adjust this group number if needed<br />   			$postrow[$i]['GroupName'] = "Silver Level";<br />    }<br />	if (preg_match("/-7-/",$postergroup))  { // adjust this group number if needed<br />   			$postrow[$i]['GroupName'] = "Gold Level";<br />    }<br />

Here is what I changed it to.

Code

<br />	// Figure out what to display based on their groups<br />	if (preg_match("/-16-/",$postergroup))  { // adjust this group number if needed<br />   			$postrow[$i]['GroupName'] = "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/mypaymentpal/mypaymentpal.php\">Platinum Member<img src=\"{$config['images']}/platinum.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Platinum Membership Info\" /></a>";<br />    }<br />	if (preg_match("/-14-/",$postergroup))  { // adjust this group number if needed<br />   			$postrow[$i]['GroupName'] = "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/mypaymentpal/mypaymentpal.php\">Gold Member<img src=\"{$config['images']}/gold.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Gold Membership Info\" /></a>";<br />    }<br />	if (preg_match("/-11-/",$postergroup))  { // adjust this group number if needed<br />   			$postrow[$i]['GroupName'] = "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/mypaymentpal/mypaymentpal.php\">Silver Member<img src=\"{$config['images']}/silver.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Silver Membership Info\" /></a>";<br />    }<br />

Same code applies to showthreaded.php as well.

Now just change the images to whatever you want and place it your threadsdir/images directory (also don't forget your own group numbers)

Thanks.. I will have to see If I can get this to work.

I applied the hack, first it didn´t work at all, then I figured out that "t1.B_Sticky" has to be removed in order to get this working.

Only problem now is, in threaded mode, the date and time of the first posting are displayed in the unix time format, every post after that is converted correctly.
example

can you give me a hint what is causing this?

thx!
