It's not that complex, but I've got a number of other projects on and never get round to it. I keep getting reminded every time someone raises a possible issue, but I've never had enough "yeah, it works fine" responses to be certain about putting it in for validation.

Well, I'm sure there must be others like me who are just waiting to try it out on a live board!

Many people just watch a MOD be developed and never get involved. That doesn't mean it won't be wildly popular when it's released though :)

I understand. I thought also that it could be matter of changing table tag to div and do some additional modifications. I'll try to do some experiments in spare time because it's not so important feature for me. If I manage to have some good effects I'll post them here.

Thank you :)

I'm also anxiously waiting for this mod and the ranking sets mod to be validated so I can use them on my live board! I'm following on these topic for updates on them!

Been running [RC] Special and Normal Rank Images v1.1.1 and [RC] Multi-Race Rank Themes v1.3.6 on my live board since March with no problems.

It isn't complexity, it is time. I've got a number of other projects that I focus on more, and I've had previous versions of MODs rejected for the niggliest little things after a week or more sitting in the queue, after an almost identical version of the MOD got rejected for some other niggly little issue before that but without any comments on the bits that got the second rejection.

Okay, keep an eye on the validation queue as I've just added 1.2.0 (the release of 1.1.1)

Hey,
I was just wondering about this mod, I had it installed on another forum which it worked great, but it showed all the ranks for each group the user is in. I installed this mod on a new site and It shows only two ranks. Have I got the wrong mod? And If so, where can I find this mod?

fastboy: This mod has always just shown the one special rank, if the user has it, for their primary group. Any more than that and it just gets messy, IMO.

Shunkiano: I'm glad you like it - this is one of the simpler mods.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I love the mod btw, you have done a great job. I think I may have used more than one mod for this.

Could you please have a look at this and tell me how you think they got their ranks?

I really appreciate your help, thanks. Also, what are you other mods? This was so easy to install and very neat, I would like to see some more.
Thanks,
Sa,

All of my MODs are in the MOD DB, although one hasn't been approved yet, so it doesn't show up.

As for how they got multiple ranks, it is probably quite easy to do in terms of looping over the groups the user is in, but getting the templating just right with the flexibility I've got in the versions so far (you can choose whether the primary special or the normal rank is the user's "main" rank) might be a bit more difficult.

Thats a bummer. Thankyou for your time.

You may want to clarify one part of the installation instructions for the file 'viewtopic.php'.

The line you say to find;

Code: Select all

 				'username'			=> $row['username'],
appears twice in the file. Do we modify both instances of the line?
The XML file for the Subsilver2 instructions also appears to be broken for version 1.1.1.

Also, I have been unsuccessful installing this mod for the TwilightBB style in PHPBB 3.0.7. After installing by hand and refreshing templates all I get on the index page is a white screen.

TwilightBB is a subsilver2 style and I have successfully installed version 1.0.1 of this mod on an older board I have that is PHPBB 3.0.4. Don't know why it won't work now, I would appreciate any insight you may have on this matter.
