Create a Military-Style Rank Structure

EDIT: I am a complete moron. The old tutorial tought you to create a userroup and then put in conditionals into the postbit and memberinfo templates manually for each usegroup. I would like to apologize to anyone who may have actually done this. Vbulletin lets you create ranks PER USEGROUP. The ranks don't have to be universal. You must be identified as a member of the usergroup for the rank to show up. Here's easier proceedures: Create all your ranks as entire usegroups. For example: E1 - Recruit E2 - Private E3 - Private First Class etc etc. goto http://www.unifrominsignia.net for more ranks and graphics. Goto "Usergroups" > "Promotions" in the ACP. Make a promotion for Registered Users. Change all the numbers to 0 and make it promote by post count. Change the method to "Priamry" and change the usergroup to your lowest rank. Now submit. Then create a promotion for your lowest rank. Set all numbers to zero, promote by post count, method=ADDITIONAL Usegroups, promote to Registered Users. Now when people join, they are promoted to the lowest rank and are still members of the additional usegroup. Remember, when you promote someone, simply change their primary usergroup. If you have vbplaza installed, I reccoment making sure all your ranks are unpurchasable. Now, goto "Usergroup > Ranks", add your rank image OR text OR HTML for EACH USEGROUP RANK. That's all there is to it. I can't believe how easy that is. I discovered this solution a few months ago and simply forgot to update this thread. |
