[MOD]Usertitles

[Ice]

Hey Guys,
i thought about getting different usertitles e.g. "spamking" (instead of member) or something like that and searched the whole board, but couldn't find any answers, so i looked through the code of the pages and found something dunno if it really works all right oder if it opens security leaks. Perhaps u can help me.

lang/{your_language}/main.php

Code: [Select]

//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Userlevel ---------------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------
$lang['userlevel_admin'] = "Admin";
$lang['userlevel_user'] = "Member";
$lang['userlevel_guest'] = "Guest";

you can add

Code: [Select]

//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Userlevel ---------------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------
$lang['userlevel_admin'] = "Admin";
$lang['userlevel_user'] = "Member";
$lang['userlevel_spamking'] = "Spamking";
$lang['userlevel_guest'] = "Guest";

//----//

includes/constants.php

Code: [Select]

// User levels
define('GUEST', -1);
define('USER_AWAITING', 1);
define('USER', 2);
define('ADMIN', 9);


// Permission levels
define('AUTH_ALL', 0);
define('AUTH_USER', 2);
define('AUTH_ACL', 3);
define('AUTH_ADMIN', 9);


You could add:

Code: [Select]

// User levels
define('GUEST', -1);
define('USER_AWAITING', 1);
define('USER', 2);
define('SPAMKING', 3);
define('ADMIN', 9);


// Permission levels
define('AUTH_ALL', 0);
define('AUTH_USER', 2);
define('AUTH_SPAMKING', 2);
define('AUTH_ACL', 3);
define('AUTH_ADMIN', 9);

//----//

details.php


Find:

Code: [Select]

        if (!isset($comment_row[$i][$user_table_fields['user_level']]) || (isset($comment_row[$i][$user_table_fields['user_level']]) && $comment_row[$i][$user_table_fields['user_level']] == USER)) {
          $comment_user_info = $lang['userlevel_user'];
        }
        elseif ($comment_row[$i][$user_table_fields['user_level']] == ADMIN) {
          $comment_user_info = $lang['userlevel_admin'];
        }

Add after:

Code: [Select]

        elseif ($comment_row[$i][$user_table_fields['user_level']] == SPAMKING) {
          $comment_user_info = $lang['userlevel_spamking'];
        }

//--//

Then youll have to go to phpmyadmin into the prefix_users table und change the user_level id in this case to 3 (remember: define('SPAMKING', 3); )

Hope it works with your imagegallery too. For me it works, and I hope it does no harm to my gallery.

Waiting for your answers.

be carefull with that. In some cases your "spamking" users will not be able access some sertain features if the script using this kind of check of user level:
if ($user_info['user_level'] == USER)

I don't understand the purpose of this code.   Why not just create a new user group called "spamking" and add members to the group???

[Ice]

mmh i tried so, but there was still the name members remaining und the username. So i had to change it in the code. If it was wrong, please correct me.

[Chris]

there was still the name members remaining und the username.

  I did not understand that either.  : : :

[V@no]

they are talking about comments, where it sais "guest", "member" or "administrator" under the name of the comment poster.

[Ice]

Yep i was talking about that.
So i suppose there is no other way of changing the usertitles.
Till now nothing was different to before for my users.

And its possible show this on user profile (Admin,Member....etc ) ?????

And its possible show this on user profile (Admin,Member....etc ) ?????

Try the following. In member.php file,

find :

"lang_comments" => $lang['comments'],

add below :

Code: [Select]


"user_position" => ($user_row[$user_table_fields['user_level']] == SPAMKING) ? $lang['userlevel_spamking'] : "",


Then, in your templates/<your_template>/member_profile.html file,

add this tag :

Code: [Select]


{user_position}


where you want it to appear on your member's profile page.

[beseech]

this doesn't work....


on member profile  ???

[TheOracle]

this doesn't work....

Could you please be more specific ?

[beseech]

i've follow all steps ... but this not work, this isn't showing nothing in member profile

[TheOracle]

Not even the phrase that points on the usertitle ?
