Can you display regular group and post count group icons?

[maxjam]

Hi

Is there anyway to display both Regular Group members and Post Count Group members at the same time?

I have set up my Regular Group to display Guild rank and the Post Count Group to display forum rank to give the overall effect of an Imperial Rank Insignia on my Star Wars forums. But I can't seem to get them both to display at the same time.

The best I can do is to show guild rank (text) forum rank (text) and either guild rank icons or forum rank icons, not both at the same time.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT : using SMF 2.0.1 (www.mandalorianforge.com)

Yep. It requires some slight modification though.

That should do the trick, at least for posts. If you want it displayed like that in other places as well, you'll have to make similar changes to the other templates.

I have done all of the above and uploaded the files but nothing has changed (still showing just 1 row of icons).

I am however using the SWTOR Black theme, do I need to do anything else?

Thanks

EDIT : Just deleted my cache too, to ensure any changes took effect but still no luck.

[maxjam]

Can anyone shed any light on what else I need to do?

It feels like I am so near, yet so far!!!

Thanks

[Suki]

If your theme also has its own Display.template.php  then you need to do the edits to that file too

[maxjam]

Yeah I'd thought of that already but couldn't find one.

Just double checked and still can't find one!

[Suki]

your theme doesn't have a Display.template.php ?

it should be on /Themes/your theme name/

[maxjam]

Nope

Themes/SWTORBlack/ (presents me with the following options)

css folder (not in there)
images folder (not in there)
scripts folder (not in there)
index.php
index.template.php
settings.template.php
theme_info.xml

I guess it could be one of the others, but I wouldn't know what I was looking for

[Suki]

can you attach your Themes/default/Display.template.php here.

[maxjam]

/sigh

Just spotted my error. There are two Display.template.php folders (.php and .php~) and I amended the wrong one. Just changed the other one and both sets of icons are now displaying on my forum

Quick question, should I revert the .php~ file back to its original state as it doesn't seem to have caused any problems.

Thanks for your help both

[Suki]

the .php~  its a back up file, it is created when a mod modifies a file, you can leave it as it is since it doesn't affect your forum at all.

[braddasexy]

Would the same apply if I have Post Count Groups and Private Member Group?  I want to display the Icon from both of those groups.

Edit:  Same with an Admin, can it show the Icons from all the groups the Admin belongs to?

[Illori]

please open a separate thread for your issue this thread belongs to someone else and is marked solved. also please dont bump old threads.

I have just tried to do this again on a new install of smf 2.0.4;

I can still find the code in Sources/Load.php and make the necessary changes but I can't find the code in the Themes/default/Display.template.php folder - has this changed and can anyone help me out please?

To recap my problem, I am trying to display member stars for both Regular Groups and Post Count Based Groups.

[Kindred]

maybe this?

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1530

[maxjam]

Just installed that mod tyvm and it seems to be working despite a couple of Test Failed errors.  ( Link to image: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2ni6zj7&s=6  )

The mod does (for my needs at least) display the Membergroup stars in the wrong order.  It displays the Post Count stars under Regular Group title and Regular Group stars under the Post Count title.

[Kindred]

if you got test failed messages, then you need to fix it.  That's why those messages tell you exactly what code needs to be changed or added.

Yeah, I had a look but its beyond my capabilities


It can't find

Code Select Expand

<li class="membergroup">', $message['member']['group'], '</li>';

This needs to go after it

Code Select Expand


$context['membergroup']['id'] = !empty($modSettings['starsByGroup_array']) ? explode(',', $modSettings['starsByGroup_array'], 20) : '';

if (!empty($context['membergroup']['id']) && in_array ($message['member']['group_id'], $context['membergroup']['id']))
echo '
<li class="membergroup">', $message['member']['additional_group_stars'], '</li>';


In ./Themes/core/Display.template.php

[kat]

Neither can I. I wonder if they mean this block of code, in the same file in the default theme's directory?

Code Select Expand

// Show the member's primary group (like 'Administrator') if they have one.
if (!empty($message['member']['group']))
echo '
<li class="membergroup">', $message['member']['group'], '</li>';
