Donator badge

Post by kronos1 »

Is there a way to add a badge or something similar to a users profile so when they have made a donation to the forum everyone one else can see who the donators are. Something that can be removed after say 12 months if no further donations have been made.

Go to MANAGE RANKS, create a DONATOR rank, make it a special one then...

Go to the user's profile ==> Admin User ==> RANK (option on the field somewhere on the top right of it). Chose DONATOR rank.

That requires (regular) admin actions. An Automated rank (and removal) sound more extension-worthy.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

a DONATOR rank is a special one. I use it on three sites (phpbb based).

AFAIK there's no native phpBB feature capable of covering his request. (I searched).
But if the system you use functions as requested, you could explain to kronos1 how to set it up as he wants it.

Here is the way I do it.

There are four things you have to do

---
STEP 01
---
  1. Open whatever program you have to create graphics, I use GIMP.
  2. Create the badge, let's name it donator.png, technically speaking it can be whatever name you want
---
STEP 02
---
  1. Open your FTP program
  2. Connect to your website
  3. Go to /images/ranks folder. That is the folder ranks, which is inside the images folder, which in itself is on the root of your installation.
  4. Upload donator.png on your /images/ranks folder
---
STEP 03
---
  1. Log on to your site's admin area
  2. Click on USERS AND GROUPS
  3. Go down to MANAGE RANKS and click it(look on the sidebar on the left).
  4. Click on ADD NEW RANK, it's a grey button on the right side
  5. Label it DONATOR (Rank Title)
  6. Select the donator.png for the image
  7. Set it as Special Rank (click YES)
  8. Hit Submit
---
STEP 04
---
  1. Go to MANAGE USERS
  2. Search for the User you want to give this badge to
  3. On the sort of TOP RIGHT, select RANK on SELECT FORM.
  4. On the next Screen Select Donator.


Tadaaaaaaaaaaa







Otherwise you could just create a DONATOR group and add those users you want as DONATORs to that group.
