Hey there again, i have recently talked to loads of people who have said showing all of the above is impossible, but its not !!

in fact its very very easy to do!

first up install the "redocumented usertext hack" this is the most complete version but do remeber to correct the spelling !!

have this installed and set as the profile array [15] the default.

then install the custom user image hack [or any image hack if you want?? its really up to you, but this is what worked 100% for me!]

have this stored in the profile array [16]

test both, BEFORE adding the next bit!

hack : Easy stars rank Hack
diffculity : none
what it does :
Hard codes rank and # of stars into the ubb, under the username, and above the userimage and usertext!
files used : ubblibary_2.pl and star.gif

find this line[s]:
if ($ThisStatus eq "Administrator") {
$ThisStatus = "$AdminTitle";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
$ThisStatus = "$ModeratorTitle";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Member") {
$ThisStatus = "$MemberTitle";
} else {
$ThisStatus = "$JrMemberTitle";
}
} else {
$RegName = "unreg";
}


then overwrite it with this code:
if ($ThisStatus eq "Administrator") {
$ThisStatus = "<img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif">
<b>$AdminTitle</b>";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
$ThisStatus = "<img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif">
<b>$ModeratorTitle</b>";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Member") {
$ThisStatus = "<img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif"><img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif">
<b>$MemberTitle</b>";
} else {
$ThisStatus = "<img src="$NonCGIURL/star.gif">
<b>$JrMemberTitle</b>";
}
} else {
$RegName = "unreg";
}
#hardcode stars hack by Digital Paul

save and upload in ascci[as always] update your threads, and set everything to be viewed! in general settings.
[and placing star.gif in your NonCGI dir]

this gives admins 5 stars, mods 4 stars, members 3 stars, and new users 1 star. to edit this simply add or delete from each status line the <.img src="$noncgiurl/star.gif".> [ignoring the "."'s after the "<" & ">"

of course this can be modified so each rank has its own gif! but thats so easy to do i wont post how 2 do it unless requested!

hope that helps you all out???

p/s ~ i have no idea if this has been posted or not yet, all i do know is that i have been told by loads of people it couldnt be done?

see it in action here: http://duw.virtualave.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000002.html
