Re: Where to put rank images?

got some of it:

found the cp in blue voda
found the picture
right click and on the top right is the ad: http://www.nzbrtours.com/ranks/private.gif

"copy and dump in forum rank root area"?

Re: Where to put rank images?

permission was 6 6 6
then I clicked in Execute and the numbers changed to 7 7 7.
Shall I do that to all my rank pictures (corporal, major,colonel.....)?

Re: Where to put rank images?

Open CP>>file manager
click on public_html (the folder icon and not name)
click on forum (the folder icon and not name)
click on templates (the folder icon)
click on subsilver (the folder icon)
click on images (folder)
click on rank (folder)
click on Upload file(s)
click browse>>find each file on your desktop (my documents or where ever you saved them to) repeat this process with all your rank picture files>>upload
click on "private.gif" (the name this time) or what ever the file is called and change permissions to 755 (this is top right of screen)
highlight and right click copy the file url: which is going to be something like this: http://www.nzbr.com/forum/templates/subSilver/images/rank/private.gif

Paste this to the root request area in forum>>admin>>rank etc which you know already.

Enjoy Your Ranked Forum.

Re: Where to put rank images?

When I right click on the link http://www.nzbrtours......private.gif
the only option I have is "copy link location". If i do that I can't take it to the other side (left side) and paste it in the 'forum' folder

Re: Where to put rank images?

i took so long with coffee and the 'how to' I missed your last 2 posts. You seem to be there!!! Except a private does'nt have rank. The private gif which I can now see, is actually a "one liner" or "happy troop" as we used to call them (a corporal)LOL

No No, right click and copy shortcut http://www.nzbrtours.com/ranks/private.gif then go to admin panel in your forum to the rank area then to edit and paste it into the rank image block

Cheers,

Re: Where to put rank images?

ok. I'm doing it step by step.
ok till click on images
when u ask me to click on "ranks"...it's not there the folder!

when I go all the way back (up none level, up one level,etc.)
I find the "ranks" folder as in an other folder (outside "forum"):

I see folders of: cgi-bin
forum
ranks
create new file
etc
etc

Re: Where to put rank images?

Go to your forum admin panel >>in rank edit >>type from scratch http://www.nzbrtours.com/ranks/private.gif and then repreat this in all your rank image blocks eg the next rank will be http://www.nzbrtours.com/ranks/major.gif or what ever your next rank is.

Re: Where to put rank images?

I have done it and nothing.

maybe there's something blocking th epictures to come up.

When I edit it shows:

Rank title: Private
Set as Special Rank: no
Minimum posts: 1
Rank Image (Relative to phpBB2 root path):
Use this to define a small image associated with the rank

Then I put: http://www.nzbrtours.com/ranks/private.gif

Any last thoughts..lol beacause I'm about to give up.

Thanks heaps!

Re: Where to put rank images?

I have just tested your "major" rank http://www.nzbrtours.com/ranks/major.gif in my forum and it is operational follow the last post only and you are one step away.

I'll check on your "ranked forum" later, but it is now 5:45am in South Africa

Good Morning...

Re: Where to put rank images?

I get a red x in the admin panel with my ranks, but if I go to a person who has lets say 1 post I can see his rank within the actual forum. So check first before deciding it's not working...

Cheers,

Re: Where to put rank images?

I was expecting to see the pictures when I edit the ranks (after puting the adres:. http:......private.gif)Note there.
But when I go to the forum... It's there! Finally!!
Thank you very much!
Let me know if you need any help (I doubt with my little knowledge) or maybe about New Zealand!

Cheers,

To throw a spanner in the works

... a private does'nt have rank. The private rank which I can now see, is actually a "one liner" or "happy troop" as we used to call them (a corporal)

LOL:)
