All,

Good afternoon/evening! I located this solution that allows the inclusion of the two available ranking methods on member profiles & posts:

1) Standard Ranking (based on the number of posts)
2) Special Ranking (based on who they are)

Unfortunately, replacing the code in the spTopicView.php file as noted above did not solve the problem. The Special Ranking replaces the Standard Ranking ... both are not showing.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Also, is there a way to remove the ranking titles? That is, have the ranking badges show only ... not the words describing them ("Moderator", "Admin", etc, etc).

Thanks in advance,
Mark

All,

Actually, the solution worked for posts ... but not for profiles. Is there a way to make it work for profiles?

Again, the other issue is removing the badge title from both ranking methods ... hopefully there's an easy solution for that.

Thanks again,
Mark

Hey Mark,

For starters, what theme are you using as it will play a part in how the rank badges are displayed.

My guess would be that the reason it works for posts and not profiles is that you've only edited the spTopicView.php template. For profiles, you will need to do the same for spProfilePopupShow.php and spProfileShow.php.

Without knowing more, another guess would be that you need to add the argument 'showTitle=0' to your functions sp_UserForumRank and sp_UserSpecialRank.

Hi Ike,

That worked perfectly! While I was at it, I also added the ‘showTitle=0‘ argument to the following functions:

sp_PostIndexUserRank
sp_PostIndexUserSpecialRank

Using these references:

https://simple-press.com/docum.....ecialrank/

This, of course, removed the rank titles from the posts ... a much cleaner(and less repetitive) look!

By the way, I'm using the Stacked theme.

Much thanks!
Mark

Good stuff, glad we could help! Stacked works just fine using this method. It's a much cleaner look - We have everything displayed as standard to give people the option of what they want to show.
