[FREE] Custom title based on membergroup

[sarahwhite42]

Version 2.0.9

Description We would like to add a custom title based on membergroup that automatically shows up when the membergroup is assigned.  This needs to allow BBCode in it.  We like the Secondary Custom Title mod but right now are having to modify each member individually which takes a lot of time.  Is there a way to have the same effect but set it up to automatically assign the title based on membergroup?  We are using pictures that are not uploaded to our site and instead linked from tinypic which is why it needs to allow BBCode.  And the pics are too large to replace the star images (I tried that).  Any help would be appreciated

A special title based on membergroup and automatically assigned that allows BBCode

be more specific what you mean by "a special title based on membergroup"

The primary membergroup name and badge is displayed...
the post-count membergroup name/badge can be displayed (or not)
There is a mod to display the secondary membergroup badges.

Are you trying to request an ADDITIONAL title?

like
user is in "Navy" membergroup - display post-count title (based on post-count+primary group) "seaman first class", "petty officer" "cpo", "Admiral"
user is in "Army" membergroup - display post-count title (based on post-count+primary group) "private first class", "sergeant" "master sergeant", "General"
etc

if so, it's been requested before and shot down as over-complicated to be done.

if you mean something else... then please explain in more detail - what you mean and the logic behind it.


and no...   putting BBcode into membergroups is a BAD idea, in general and in specific.

User is in group "Vampire" (assigned membergroup not post based) - display picture ""
does that help?

Or you could upload the image to your site and use the membergroup images like the team badges here.

[sarahwhite42]

i don't know how badges work and we can't upload images to our server (long story).  If it's not possible to make the mod we can continue manually adding them using the mod i posted in the OP, but I was hoping there was something a bit easier

[Arantor]

If you can't upload images to your server, it seems doubtful you'd be able to upload such a modification to your server either.

I'd suggest getting your server sorted out, then we can talk about using what features SMF has out of the box for this purpose rather than abusing things that are not.

[Kindred]

seriously...  you should not be running a forum if you can't access the server.


Based on your explanation - Arantor is completely correct.
No need for any mod.
assign the image as the "stars" image for each membergroup (count of 1)
and ta-da...   as long as the member is assigned to that membergroup as a primary membergroup, the image displays
Like mine "Project Manager" or Arantor's "SMF Friend"

i already tried replacing the star images and that didn't work.  i suppose this is an impossible mod to get.  thanks for helping

[Arantor]

So you *can* do uploads?

[Kindred]

What are you replacing the star image WITH?

You can only use a filename in that location... not a URL and not BBC code

[sarahwhite42]

no can't do uploads unless i want to reupload the whole theme.

used images i uploaded in a theme.  they did not work

[Arantor]

Eh? Why not? Why can't you do uploads?

[Kindred]

Also... "Did not work" is not a descriptive explanation...


HOW did they "not work".
Did they not show up? We're they smaller than you wanted? Did it show a broken image? We're you unable to use them at all?
