| My website has constant VIP awards and stuff like that, and I want to be able to add some different ranks for those people specifically, like maybe another 5-10 rankings would be nice, is this possible? |

Is it just their titles you need to change? If so, would it be feasible for you to manually change their title by editing their profile? If this would be too much work and/or you need to change the stars as well then you're going to have to make some code changes, as Ruirib already pointed out.

what area of the code do you have to change to do this because our forum has a emmediate need for this. becasue we use a military style of ranking. we also need to add a second Moderator type that has a different rank then the other type. can you please email me the info sent i'm also very busy tring to setup a webserver too. |

First you need to add additional ranking level descriptions, number of posts required for each level and colors associated to each level, to FORUM_CONFIG_NEW table. Of course, you'd also need to change config.asp to load the string and number values related to each level and to the level colors.
Then you need to change the getMember_level and getStar_level functions in inc_func_member.asp. I think that would be basically it.
Ah, you'd need also to edit admin_config_ranks.asp.
Adding a different moderator type is a completely different thing. I probably would recommend against that. That has nothing to do with rankings, but with different member levels (normal member, moderator and admin). It would be a more "serious" change, IMO. |

but yet it is in the code in this file admin_config_ranks.asp
the second moderator type for us would have the exact powers a the orignal type but i need to have a different star color for them. |

| That should be easy. You just need to change the getStar_Level in inc_func_member.asp, so that it tests the value of MemberID and if that MemberID is the one of your different moderator, assign the color you want. Have a look at the function. |

Did you have a look at the function? Did you understand how the color of the stars is chosen?
Basically the choice of the colors is made based on the member level and then the number of posts for the specific member. That is done here:
select case fM_LEVEL
case "1"
if (fM_POSTS < cLng(intRankLevel1)) then Star_Level = ""
if (fM_POSTS >= cLng(intRankLevel1)) and (fM_POSTS < cLng(intRankLevel2)) then Star_Level = getCurrentIcon(getStarColor(strRankColor1),"","")
(...)
You should introduce an if statement before this so that if the MemberId is equal to your special member's id, you execute a similar code, to the one for each value of the member level, to set the desired color start value for that member, but do not execute the select statement, ok? |
