useless mod.

All this does is tell you your total number of posts plus the next rank level. Kind of useless. Now maybe if you had a second variable where the user's posts were subtracted from the next rank posts, it might be more useful.

Find:

Code: Select all

					if ($user->data['user_posts'] < $rank['rank_min'])
					{
						$next_rank_posts = (int) $rank['rank_min'];
					}

After, add:

Code: Select all

		$needed_posts = $next_rank_posts - $user->data['user_posts'];

Find:

Code: Select all

					'NEXT_RANK_POSTS'						=> $next_rank_posts,

After, add:

Code: Select all

					'NEEDED_POSTS'						=> $needed_posts,

Now in the template, you can place {NEEDED_POSTS} wherever you like, at least making sure it's between  and .

I also did this in ucp_main.php instead because I didn't want my users to be bothered with it on every single page. This way it only shows when they visit their control panel...which seems like a more logical place IMO.

Code: Select all

$ranks = $cache->obtain_ranks();

throws an error at 3.0.3

any fix?

What error is it?

It's probably caused by changing some part of the MOD during the update. Try going through the installation instructions again and check if everything is intact.

I'm wondering, where it says 'Total Posts' in the header, how can I change that to say something like 'Total XP'
When I make a change in the code it puts brackets around it like this '{ Total_XP }'
This is what it says to use in the installer

Code: Select all

{L_TOTAL_POSTS}: {USER_POSTS}<!-- IF NEXT_RANK_POSTS != 0 --> /

And this is what I changed it to, resulting in the brackets

Code: Select all

{L_Total_XP}: {USER_POSTS}<!-- IF NEXT_RANK_POSTS != 0 --> /

Any help would be appreciated

Change it like you did to:

Code: Select all

{L_TOTAL_XP}

then open language/en/common.php and add this line to the array:

Code: Select all

'TOTAL_XP' => 'Total XP',

it doesn't matter where as long as it's between the other entries.

That worked perfectly, thank you

I seem to be having troubles getting the next rank to show up now, but I think it might have something to do with also having http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 9&t=879895 installed.

For now it just says the post count/XP count, with no 'next rank' section next to it. Any ideas?

Hello, I'm using Special and Normal Rank Images.

So when configure a group rank to be "special" this mod, only shows the "Total Post: XX". I was wondering if it would be possible to display the same behavior, ie, Total posts: xx / xx even if the rank is set to special. Just like it is set to user default.

Thank you very much.
