Thanx i needed this yo=]

 

[liljak]

Anyway to add Apply usergroups as i would like this for applying some GFX members and not mods ect...

 

[moiz615]

You can use it anyway

If your forum is based on Programmers you can use it for that same goes for anything

 

[liljak]

But is there a way to change it so they dont apply for admin or super mod ect.
Like change it to Apply for GFX Team, Affiliate ect.

Surly there is a peace of code that can be changed just to change the text so they apply for a different role.

If you understand what i saying lol sometimes i dont even understand my typing

 

[moiz615]

Actually that won't be possible or very tough, you have to change these 3 Words from the product file.

product-usml_staffapplication.xml

search every moderator,super moderator,administrator and change it to GFX or what ever you want, make sure that user group already is there. I am not sure it gonna work, while you can try it

 

[liljak]

Confirmed it works, i think there are about 4 items you need to change.
Just open the XML in notpad and Crtl + F to find "Super Mod" and it finds the work which you change to what ever you wont.

Thanks DUDE!!

 

[moiz615]

Good thing, do a favor attach the xml file you edited so the guys who want like that can use it

 

[liljak]

I been away for a few days but yea here is the edited version, it contains the following usergroups:

• Mod (Didnt change this one)
• Graphics Team
• Clan Member

I didnt change any of the questions but i will soon and then ill repost with the edited version.

But to change anything its as simple as finding what you wont to change and replacing it with what you wont.

REMEMBER!: The application wont work unless you have the user group added so make these usergroups before importing the XML:

• Graphics Team
• Clan Member

And also remeber to overwrite if you allready have this XML imported

[liljak]
