Rank Error - Posted By dog199200 (dog199200) on 25th Jan 08 at 5:28am
For some reason on my FMA forum and my Inuyasha forum, the ranks start out at the second rank even if they have 0 posts..and i check the modify rank area and it is how it is suppose to be there, and i hit modify and it still starts out at rank two...also if you check this check a none staff member, because staff members ranks are altered so it is forced to start out at one for them.

Looking at the first site it is starting out at the first rank you have in there, "Trainie". They may not have enough posts to be in that rank but they have no choice since you've not got a rank where there are 0 posts required.

It would help as I can't access your admin panel.

ok I have found the error! {Wink}

http://fmaadvanced.virtualforums.co.uk/action/view_profile/user/sarah/
and
http://fmaadvanced.virtualforums.co.uk/action/view_profile/user/rawr/

The first one actually does have a post, if you look in the 'recent posts' part of her profile.

the 2nd one has no posts (none in recent) and therefore shows up fine.

This is indeed a bug! {Smile}

umm nope not exactly.... it show that the rawr account has 1rank because it is a staff account..any account that doesn't have a staff accout or a member group starts out at rank two all because of this code

Code:
Select All
 
  1. <script type="text/javascript">
  2. <!--
  3. var ranks = Array(); var r=0;
  4.  
  5. ranks[r++] = Array(0, 'Newbe', 1, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  6. ranks[r++] = Array(50, 'Trainie', 2, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  7. ranks[r++] = Array(125, 'Apprentice', 3, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  8. ranks[r++] = Array(250, 'Teacher', 4, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  9. ranks[r++] = Array(500, 'Master', 5, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  10.  
  11.  
  12. function assign_rank(display_name, posts) {
  13. if(!display_name.match(/group0/i)) {
  14. posts = parseInt(posts.replace(/,/g, ''));
  15. r = 0;
  16. while(ranks[r] && ranks[r][0] < posts) {
  17. r++;
  18. }
  19. if(r > 0)
  20. r--;
  21. var rank_str = "<br />" + ranks[r][1] + "<br />";
  22. for(c=0; c<ranks[r][2]; c++) {
  23. rank_str += "<img src=\""+ ranks[r][3] +"\" alt=\"*\" />";
  24. }
  25. document.write(rank_str);
  26. }
  27. }
  28. //-->
  29. </script>

all of those are none staff
Re: Rank Error - Posted By Ross (admin) on 27th Jan 08 at 12:17am
They're not being given the group0 class. Most probably an error when regsitering. I've added a fix but it won't show up on existing mini profiles as they've been cached. When the users post or modify their profile (which I've done for those 4) the mini profile will be re-created and the correct class applied causing the code to work properly.
Re: Rank Error - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 27th Jan 08 at 12:17am
use this code instead:

Code:
Select All
 
  1. <script type="text/javascript">
  2. <!--
  3. var ranks = Array(); var r=0;
  4.  
  5. ranks[r++] = Array(0, 'Newbe', 1, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  6. ranks[r++] = Array(50, 'Trainie', 2, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  7. ranks[r++] = Array(125, 'Apprentice', 3, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  8. ranks[r++] = Array(250, 'Teacher', 4, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  9. ranks[r++] = Array(500, 'Master', 5, 'http://s4.images.proboards.com/star.gif');
  10.  
  11.  
  12. function assign_rank(display_name, posts) {
  13. if(!display_name.match(/group(0|$)/i)) {
  14. posts = parseInt(posts.replace(/,/g, ''));
  15. r = 0;
  16. while(ranks[r] && ranks[r][0] < posts) {
  17. r++;
  18. }
  19. if(r > 0)
  20. r--;
  21. var rank_str = "<br />" + ranks[r][1] + "<br />";
  22. for(c=0; c<ranks[r][2]; c++) {
  23. rank_str += "<img src=\""+ ranks[r][3] +"\" alt=\"*\" />";
  24. }
  25. document.write(rank_str);
  26. }
  27. }
  28. //-->
  29. </script>
