Forum Post Ranks + Special Ranks

Hey, I was wondering if there was any way to make it so that the forum post rank badge shows up in addition to any special rank badges someone's been given, such as moderator. It is possible to give them multiple special badges that show up at the same time, however, whenever I assign someone a special rank, the rank that's determined by their post count disappears and is replaced by whatever the first special rank I assign them is.

 

Thanks in advance!

I have never coded anything in my life. 

Please give me step by step instructions on what I need to do. 

The link you provided obviously has the relevant information but I feel like I'm reading a foreign language. Please help.

putting a template tag or adjusting arguments in a template tag is not really coding... ;)

find this template function in your sp theme... the topic view template file... spTopicView.php

sp_PostIndexUserRank()

and add the hideIfSpecalRank argument... so change something like:

sp_PostIndexUserRank('tagClass=spPostUserRank spCenter');

to

sp_PostIndexUserRank('tagClass=spPostUserRank spCenter&hideIfSpecalRank=0');

that will change the default from hiding if special ranks to showing both...

So I went into theme editor and modified my theme as you said. I replaced that the text as you suggested but it did not work. There do not appear to be any changes. What do I try now?

here is an example of a thread where you cansee that there are no changes

I pasted the surrounding functions as well for context

sp_PostIndexUserLocation('tagClass=spPostUserLocation spCenter');
sp_PostIndexUserRank('tagClass=spPostUserRank spCenter&hideIfSpecalRank=0');
sp_PostIndexUserSpecialRank('tagClass=spPostUserSpecialRank spCenter');

OK - just want to check as you said you are a beginner coder!

hideIfSpecialRank=0

Did you put a zero on the end there or a capital o? As it must be a zero/number.
