Ok... so I'm looking to have custom user titles on my 6.05 board, settable by me the admin. But... how do I do that?

The idea I thought of is, in the control panel, when you look up a username, or select view all users, it has a column for status, which shows the members status. If that became a text box for each member, with their current status in each text box... you could then write your own custom status in that box, and then hit the update all members button to give them a new status. This is how it worked on my old ubb 5.10 board, so I wondered why it hasn't been done as a hack for ubb6.0x??

I would imagine this could be done by someone who wanted to, the question is, how?

EDIT: I made this mod a few mins ago, check the following post for instructions...

Here's a way tonly display the custom text and line break if the user has entered custom text in their profile. It looks a bit tacky to have a blank line after the user's rank and before the Member # if they haven't entered a custom text.

I got bored, so I wrote this code up myself. As in my above post, this modification make it so a line break is only displayed if the user has set a custom title for themself. It's a little beautification detail that'll add a bit of profesionalism to your board

Here's the mod:

That's it Reupload, clear Topic Page cache, and you're done

I just installed this on my 6.3.1.2 board, and rather than using the <b>Bold Attributes</b>, I chose to use colored font tags to keep with the continuity of my board.

I have this setup for Admin changes only in the CP, and use it as an identifier for financial contributors.

For some bizarre reason, whenever I enter {My Profile}, the custopm tag disappears... It is set to only be added in the CP.
