have you looked at the special ranks??  seems what you are asking for…  admin determines who gets a special rank… each special rank has a badge…  badges can be displayed in profile or elsewhere…  your gold badge for example here is a special rank…

That sounds perfect. I checked the “Ranks” on MyCred but (Minimum Points to reach this rank) and (Maximum Points to be included in this rank) doesn’t suit my purpose.

Which plugin are you referring to?

its not a plugin… built into core…  see forum – components – forum ranks… the middle section on special ranks…

That is Brilliant. I’m already using ranks and didn’t realize that there were more options below. Thanks so much Steve. You’re the mannnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

Now to find some great graphic art for our new upcoming badges.

I didn’t think of Special Ranks. I was still thinking you needed something that awarded something to finally achieve something else!

Never occurred to me neither. LOL

The automatic stuff won’t work in this case anyway. This will be perfect.

glad to help!

One of our members is working hard on the badges and I’ll send some links when they are all in effect.

Very nice…

Can you guys help me with the template to avoid this:

I would like them to be in a row rather than return on every badge.

Thanks

You can use the ‘stacked’ argument. Did you add the template display function to your topic template yourself? Or was it already in the theme…? If you added it copy and paste what you added and we can show you the change,

Already in the theme. I haven’t made any changes.

Stacked 1.2.9

Thanks

not sure where Andy was going as the forum ranks template tag does not have a ‘stacked’ argument… perhaps it should like some other ones, but not currently…

and its not going to be particularly easy to make them be horizontal – at least without changing theme layout….  as is they are displayed in the 2nd column of the row, between the avatar and user info (# posts, date, etc)…  so just no room to display horizontal…

what you need to do, is to remove that second column and make it a second row instead…  and display the ranks horizontally below the other information…

Are we not talking about sp_PostIndexUserSpecialRank() here Steve? That does have a stacked argument…

oh man… do I need the weekend or what… yes, you are correct (as was Andy)… I mistakenly looked at the forum ranks function vs the special rank function…

but the issue about the columns vs row still worries me.. have you changed it? and are happy with it? If so, then so am I!
