Quote: Users can't create custom titles even when they pay for them.
What happens when they try? Are there any error messages? It worked okay when I was testing during development. After someone pays for a title, check to see if it appears in the effects shop. It should be displayed in the title field at the very least. Quote: One problem that I had even with the old effects shop is that I could never change my rank color even though I bought the option. Is there something I need to do to fix this?
The old effects were a bit hard to manage, but it should be easier to set up with the new one. One thing that might throw you off there is the custom title. The rank color won't change if you buy a custom title. In that case, the title gets the color. I'm thinking of separating them in the next version. Quote: I would like the options in the effects shops of what can be allowed to be done say for instance if I want the default as avatars have to be bought or not, whether custom ranks are allowed.
Just enter a zero or blank for the price in the ACP. When there's no price, the avatars and signatures should work normally. Any of the other effects, like colors and custom title, won't be available in the shop when their prices are zero or blank. Quote: Second how about along with the custom rank the ability to pay to upload a custom rank image to go with it?
That's an interesting idea. I may include it in a future version of the Effects Store.

The custom title changes in the effects shop but does not change in the profile ill pm you my site link along with the pw for my test account so you can check it out |

Hm.. I think the rank in your profile may be built by some different code than the standard rank. It certainly looks different than the version I've been testing with. Can you show me your profilcp/def/def_usermaps.php file?

Hm, well, it's not anything in that file. I replaced mine with yours, and it still works on my test server.
Can you show me your def_userfuncs_std.php, please? |

Okay, I think I may see the problem with the ranks now. In def_userfuncs_std.php, find this:
Code: if ( $view_userdata['user_id'] != AUTH )
{ $rank = get_user_rank($view_userdata); And add this after it: Code: //----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Shop 3 Compatibility for Profile Control Panel - Begin Code Alteration // $rank = pcp_shop_build_title($view_userdata, $rank); // // Shop 3 Compatibility for Profile Control Panel - End Code Alteration //---------------------------------------------------------------------- That may fix the ranks. I'm not sure when/how the if ( $view_userdata['user_id'] != AUTH ) comes into play, but I think it's probably overwriting the rank effects with the plain rank. |

What do you have in mind? An example might give me a better idea.
