[Yet Another Gamification Application] How to add ranks as titles

[Deleted User]

Hello. As with this forum, for Yaga, how do you use Ranks as titles? For example, a member was just promoted to Level 3, but I want it to show Level 3 next to the title. Is this possible?

hgtonight

The rank id is attached to the user object.

You can get the rank name from the rank model with this snippet:

$RankModel = Yaga::RankModel();
$Rank = $RankModel->GetByID($User->RankID);

echo $Rank->Name;

And where is it added @hgtonight?

hgtonight

Ranks are set up through the rank controller, i.e. /yaga/rank.

I am confused as to where you want to add it.

[Deleted User]

@hgtonight I don't know where to add the code you gave me. What file is it added into?

[Deleted User]

@hgtonight Do you mean add the code you gave me in /applications/yaga/ranks/class.rankcontroller.php

hgtonight

No. You can use that code in any plugin in any hook you want. All you need is access to the user object.

For example, if you wanted to show the Rank name next to the user name like the role title plugin, you could use this plugin hook:

public function DiscussionController_AuthorInfo_Handler($Sender) {
  // Get the user object from the controller, I am just guessing with this line
  $User = $Sender->User;

  $RankModel = Yaga::RankModel();
  $Rank = $RankModel->GetByID($User->RankID);
  echo Wrap($Rank->Name, 'span', array('class' => 'MItem RankName'));
}

@hgtonight I want it next to the Title, like here at vanillaforums.org | Also, where is the user object? class.rankcontroller.php?

hgtonight

Yaga doesn't load a user object anywhere.

Many controllers do. For example, the profile controller does. Where it is in the controller is left up to you to find out.

Dump the $Sender object and start looking for it.

I think I will just assign a role. Thank you for your help, @hgtonight! I will look again when I have free time

And this discussion is ... closed.... Kudos to hgtonight for his patience. @ilovetech next time you post a question about a plugin, post it on the Addon page, so it's attached to that plugin
