User Rank Images

[jlaine]

thanks for all that, i'll look it up tonight.

one more problem, i have read the FAQ on this but i didnt quite understand it.
i just enabled the User CP block on the homepage and it cant find the rank image which is in /forum/images/ranks/admin.gif, instead it looks for it in /images/ranks/admin.gif.

can you please explain a bit more in detail what i have to update that?

thanks

Indeed, I'm having this issue also apparently. :)

This doesn't apply to any FAQ resolutions - those that are posted that involve images don't apply to these particular images. This would be a bug apparently - as you do have a string replace code present for this very item inside welcomeblock.php

Suppose we could type in the full URL to all the user rank images - but if so it would make sense to eliminate that string too since it doesn't seem to be serving it's purpose?

Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Edit Modules => Welcome Block => Show User Rank

Do you have that option turned on?

Do you have that option turned on?

I shut it off and then the red 'x' syndrome is prevalent (apparently when you shut it off, it doesn't get fully shut off?)

I don't like leaving it on because the higher member ranks have multiple images that are too wide for the sidebar (or I need to find a way to cluster them closer together - they seem heavily spaced out). But if you shut it off you are graced with the broken images it appears.

I don't think I've touched anything in the system itself other than adjusting settings - I've done some small modifications to vB itself - but none of them should be pertinent to this situation.

Try looking in your 'adv_portal_welcomeblock' template for this code:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['reputationdisplay'] OR $bbuserinfo['rank']">

Replace with this:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['reputationdisplay'] OR ($bbuserinfo['rank'] AND $mod_options['portal_welcome_rank'])">

Then find two instances of this code:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['rank']">

Replace each with this:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['rank'] AND $mod_options['portal_welcome_rank']">

And that should take care of the problem.

I would say you are right - that shut them off entirely.

Thanks Brian - your continued support like this is the reason I bought the gallery software. :)

Hi.
I've problem with user rank image as well.
Code seems to be all right. As far as I know error is somewhere in variable $bbuserinfo[rank].
<div align="$stylevar[right]" style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:5px">$bbuserinfo[rank]</div>
Place for user rank image is empty because of wrong image address:
http://forum.mandriva.org.pl/http://forum.mandriva.org.pl/images/stars/5.gif
instead of
http://forum.mandriva.org.pl/images/stars/5.gif

And I've no idea why its duplicated....

I am having the same issue that Sir Yaro is having above.
