thanks kvr…

awesome…how do u set this as current user?

[sp_forum_rank userid='2']


Will need a lot more information on what you are trying to do and what that question means I am afraid…?

Persons name and rank…total posts

thanks it

You should have all the information needed from the link KVR posted there.

See the template tags Author Posts which can display name a post count, and Forum Rank which as the name suggests displays forum rank.

Further down the pages you should find ‘usage’ sections which detail how to add these functions.

Have a go, but shout if you need any further help.

I dont want to show user #2 though..I want to show the signed in user…what would be the code…sorry!

did you look at the links Ike gave you???  The forum rank template tags takes an argument that is the user you want to show…

I did look at the links but what may be easy for u isnt for all of us lol

[sp_forum_rank userid=’2′] shows me a guest but not me when Im signed in…I want the signed in user to see thier rank…and picture of it

something like

global $current_user;
sp_ShowForumRankTag($current_user->ID);

no must be missing something lol

a simple ‘No’ is not helpful… please tell us exactly what and where you did… and then what the results were… ie what was shown…. any errors, wrong info, etc.. need info to better help you…

well when I put global $current_user;
sp_ShowForumRankTag($current_user->ID);

in the html box in the widget area,

this comes up on the website side bar:

global $current_user;
sp_ShowForumRankTag($current_user->ID);

your widget for the sidebar area must be able to handle php… so try this

ID); ?>

if it doesnt work, you need widgets with php support… I could give you a shortcode, but you still need php ability to get the current user…
