The RHQ Preview!

I can't help you if your hoster doesn't allow you to modify the phpBB source code and the database

[Beebop]

The hoster is PhpBB, but it is sort of ran by something called "forummotion", whatever that is, but it is still some version of PhpBB.

[Xenon]

That would be the hoster.

[Beebop]

Well, I am trying a couple of other PhpBB versions in the meantime, as they have cash mods already installed.

[Newray]

Better host your own stuff instead of hosting on those crappy multi-forums hosters. Anyway, I joined your forum.

[Hunchman801]

Beebop, phpBB isn't a hoster Oh, I found your forum, and I joined it too

[Beebop]

I could possibly make you Admin temporarily just to see what you make of the setup there, and then maybe I could get a bit of help.

[Hunchman801]

Sorry, but I don't have time for this If you have questions, you can ask me though.

[Beebop]

I just need to know how to get the money that members earn to determine their Ranks. Instead of them just earning it, but not getting any new ranks for it. It's kinda hard to explain.

[Hunchman801]

I doubt your crappy hoster allows you to modify the source code, which means you can't have a points system or change the way ranks work.

[Newray]

That's why hosting your own forum is always better!

[Jman]

I know of a good hoster that is really cheap if you are willing to pay to host your own forum.

[Beebop]

Do tell

[Jman]

Here.

I would like at the more expensive one.

[Beebop]

Hmmm, maybe. Read the PM I sent you, You should find it quite interesting.

[Xenon]

I doubt your crappy hoster allows you to modify the source code, which means you can't have a points system or change the way ranks work.

There are MODs for that as well. What exactly is the change you make?

[Beebop]

You are making a forum too?

[Xenon]

I'm just interested

[Beebop]

I am basing the ranks on total posts now. Which was the original method in the old RHQ. I feel a money system is no big deal. Anyway, Jman will be making the ranks and buttons and that means the forum will look better than ever. Plus, if you need a money system, you've got PC. I feel I just remade RHQ out of the goodness of my heart (sounds corny, I know!). I think it would be better to leave it with the same things as it had before plus with better display, ranks and even a portal.

[Hunchman801]

What exactly is the change you make?

I create my own mods, by modifying the database structure and the source code. You must learn PHP first
