Custom User Title

Post by Lord Phobos »

Hi

In times of old, there was this MOD: viewtopic.php?f=70&t=2196169

Now, I would like a similar (identical) function. I would like to give my users with more than 500 posts the opportunity to write for themselves their own custom title, without changing the associated rank image. Not a NEW profile field: the rank field.

Would it be possible?

Thanks.

Perhaps DMX's special title extension could be adapted to fit your requirements

Most of us will enjoy Christmas in the comfort of our own homes this year, however, sadly, that can't be said for people in the Ukraine who are suffering day after day, due to the Russian invasion.

I just downloaded, installed and tested it and it works just fine.
'there is a 30 second delay before it shows up next to your username.

30 seconds delay is not working just fine. ;)
However, just not what I seek: custom user title to be set after a fixed amount of posts or a fixed amount of membership time.

the 30 second delay is how the author created it. I have no idea why he designed it that way, but it is working as designed.

since it does not do what you wish then hopefully someone will take up the task of creating an extension that will do what you want.

luck,

Use the Auto Groups extension to automate joining the special groups after a certain nr of posts and/or membership time.
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.

However, it is not what I'm looking for.
It is exactly that: viewtopic.php?f=70&t=2196169

Set a post or time minimum, and then automatically enable users to set their custom user level. You can specify in ACP to whether replace level, rank image, or both.

No one can do this?

Thanks in advance.

It's hard getting people to port extensions to phpBB 3.3 with phpBB 4.0 coming soon as a lot of 3.3 extensions are not going to work on it.

How many characters do you want them to be able to add?

Exactly as long as a standard rank.

And adding a custom field, permitted only to a group, REPLACING only the text of the user rank?
Would that be easier?

I made an extension that does exactly this for an old forum of mine. I'll stick it in the development forum.
