Module: User Tagging

Even if you are sure that you did everything right, tell me what you did. What fields did you fill in using what values? What template variable name did you setup using what values for the rules? What code did you add to your templates to show the special titles?

Additionally, did you go to the third tab in the settings screen to recalculate the post counts? The module uses its own counters for doing special stuff like handling post counts per vroot or forum as opposed to using the global total post count.

And please, stop plugging your forum.
There's enough links to your forum by now.

Sorry about that. Ok. This is going to take a LONG time, but here we go! I'll only type down the stuff that I filled in. Everything else is empty. I checked every box in the display settings for every tag. All template names are STATUS.

The post count is less than (<): 10

1st Degree Black Belt:
The post count is equal to or more than (>=): 401
The post count is less than (<): 500
HTML: <b>1st Degree Black Belt(400 Posts)</b>

(This ends at 3000 posts)

THEN I HAVE THE FINAL ONES WITH BIG VALUES:

AND THAT'S ALL! *whew!*

If you have anymore questions, just ask. But PLEASE don't make me do this again!! ;)

Yes, I had more questions. They are in my previous post.

Oh ya. And I went to the third tab. All of my numbers were correct. I recounted it and all the post numbers remained the same. Thanks.

OOHH!! THAT!! I'm so sorry! It just totally flew by me! Ok. Here it is:

In read.tpl:

Quote

{IF MESSAGES->user}
{LANG->DateReg}: {MESSAGES->user->date_added}<br />
{LANG->Posts}: {MESSAGES->user->posts}
{IF MESSAGES->user->STATUS}
<br />
Level: {MESSAGES->user->STATUS}
{/IF}
{/IF}

In profile.tpl:

Quote

{IF PROFILE->posts}
<dt>{LANG->Posts}:&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>{PROFILE->posts}</dd>
{/IF}
{IF PROFILE->STATUS}
<dt>SecretNinjaMan Rank:&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>{PROFILE->STATUS}</dd>
{/IF}

I didn't put code anywhere else yet.

Well, I don't see what's wrong. I created a few of the first rules to a test setup and added the status to the read page template read.tpl. And there it was. My white belt. See this thread on my testserver. So conceptually, the thing should work.

Things to check are:

• Are you sure that you edited the correct template?
• To check, try something like adding BLAH at some good spot (like the start of the read.tpl file) to see if it really shows up in the template output. If it doesn't, then you know you're in the wrong place.
• Check if the checkboxes for enabling the rules on the read and profile pages are really enabled in the rules' settings.

No...it doesn't work. In your example, white belt is supposed to be for users with 1-10 posts. But your user has 17 posts, so he is supposed to be an orange belt. Correspondingly, your orange belts are supposed to be yellow belts. That's the problem I ran into last time.

wait...never mind.
