In my old forum (Invision) there was the possibility to let users choose a rank by themself. Withouth image, in personal cp they could set a "personal title" to appear just under the avatar.

In phpBB I didn't find this possibility, does anyone know a mod capable to do that?

It is possible using Shop Mod... or more simply by creating a customized field in ACP and let the user fill it.

I tried adding a customized field, the only ugly thing is that it puts the title of the field... I'll try this shop mod and let you know

He he he... but you may even create a new position for Custom Profile Fields and not inserting the Field description.

If you have a little knowledge of PHP you should be able to do this in few minutes.

Just copy what has been done for other positions.

But if you give me a shot of what the code should be I can try

Dai uno sguardo a questo file: functions_profile_fields.php.

Qui vengono generati i campi personalizzati... basta rimuovere l'etichetta nel campo autore e spostarlo nel template dove vuoi tu!

Uau addirittura in italiano

Scusami, ci ho provato, ma non sono riuscito a capire come fare... quale parte di codice devo eliminare? In quale file trovo il template che genera il profilo accanto al post?

Does anybody know which template generates user's informations next to the post?

Ok, solved as follows:

From includes/functions_profile_fields.php I found the function that generates profile fields:

Code: [Hide]

if($location == AUTHOR)
 
			{
 
				//$cp_udata_cache[$id]['author'][] = ($profile_names[$name]) ? $name . ': ' . $profile_names[$name] : '';
 
				$cp_udata_cache[$id]['author'][] = ($profile_names[$name]) ? $field_name . ': ' . $profile_names[$name] : '';

And I cut the variable $field_name which shows the profile name:

Code: [Hide]

if($location == AUTHOR)
 
			{
 
				//$cp_udata_cache[$id]['author'][] = ($profile_names[$name]) ? $name . ': ' . $profile_names[$name] : '';
 
				$cp_udata_cache[$id]['author'][] = ($profile_names[$name]) ? $profile_names[$name] : '';

Then in templates/ca_aphrodite/viewtopic_body.tpl I moved the code that generates the field, forcing it to appear just under the avatar. I took

Code: [Hide]

 <!-- BEGIN author_profile -->
 
			{postrow.author_profile.AUTHOR_VAL}<br />
 
			<!-- END author_profile -->  

and put it just after

Code: [Hide]

 <!-- BEGIN switch_showavatars -->
 
		<span class="post-images"><a href="javascript:quotename('[b]{postrow.POSTER_NAME_QQ}[/b],')">{postrow.POSTER_AVATAR}</a></span>
 
		<!-- END switch_showavatars -->
 
		<div class="post-details">

Then, in order to make it similar to Invision, I centered it and separated it from other informations just using html tags <center> e <br />

Code: [Hide]

 <!-- BEGIN author_profile -->
 
			<center>{postrow.author_profile.AUTHOR_VAL}</center><br /><br />
 
			<!-- END author_profile -->  

Wasn't so difficult, was it?
