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!
yes…
see: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/api/template-functions-and-the-api/display-template-functions/topic-view/sp_postindexuserrank/
in particular, the hideIfSpecialRank argument…
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
http://www.cringechannel.com/forum/about-the-site/troll-infestation/
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.
next question… who is this not working for? just tested and worked fine for me… but be aware the forum admins wont get badges for forum rank…
So an admin can’t have a forum rank badge PLUS the admin badge?
What about moderators? Can they have rank badge plus mod badge?
Is there a work-around for this?
So only regular users can have multiple badges?
correct on admins… frankly, dont know why… but has been that way since the beginning… but any non admins can have forum rank badge and special rank badge…
Well mods should still have the feature then, right?
Can i send you my login info privately and you can check this out yourself?
