As the title states I am trying to add more standard forum ranks, but cannot figure out where the option is hiding.
Could someone point me to where the option is to increase the amount of standard forum ranks?
Thanks in advance

on the forum - components - forum ranks admin panel... just add the new rank, and adjust the various number of posts required to achieve that rank...

Yeah, this was caused by my own stupidity, with naming things inappropriately.
Oddly thought it's not giving the badges to the various members who have fulfilled the post requirement
Edit: It seems to be awarding the post count badges on some and not on others, so I must have messed up the groups somehow.

Edit: Managed to answer my own question.
Is there anyway to push SP to allow badges per post and special rank badges?

So is all well with the exception of that last question?
And if so - can you explain what you mean by 'badges per post' and how that would work?

Yes, thanks Yellow the original issues were resolved when I RTFM'ed
As far as badges go though, I trying to "Gamify" my site as much as possible.
I have "leveling" badges that change as you post more, showing your leveling "progression". But I also created special ranks that I was awarding to veterans managers and otherwise which I also set a badge for.
When I was reading the nice help buttons I read that if you assign a member a "special forum rank" that it will over ride the standard ranks.
I would really love to have both the standard forum rank badge and the special forum rank badge displayed on the user info next to the post at the same time instead of only one or the other.

you can choose to display both if you like... by default, special ranks override...
see: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....xuserrank/
for the template function to modfiy if you want both.. namely, the hideIfSpecialRank argument..

I have opened a ticket to get that help changed as it is a little out of date. You CAN have both but you will need to make a small edit to the display template. Simple stuff.
The template in this case is spTopicView.php in the /templates folder of the SP theme you are using.
Locate the call to the function sp_PostIndexUserRank(). It will probably looks like this:
sp_PostIndexUserRank('tagClass=spPostUserRank spCenter');You need to add an argument (hideIfSpecialRank) to this function call exactly as shown below:
sp_PostIndexUserRank('tagClass=spPostUserRank spCenter&hideIfSpecialRank=0');Note the ampersand... That should allow for both to display successfully.

Oh by the way... As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)
