Sorry maybe im missing something but in the bottom part of the Settings tab there are 2 fields

Rank ID and Reward .. What does this section do ?

Maybe should of put the information thing on that too

[Wormopolis]

Rank I'D is the rank level. The number not the name. Reward is how many additional changes they are granted upon reaching that rank. The little gray bubbles next to those fields should also explain what the fields are.

v1.1.0 submitted to library

fixed the chrome bug by using a cheat
added a reward granting system (or taking)
added notification system for when rewards have been granted/taken manually

Heeey Wormopolis! Teg and I are using your DNCE plugin on a couple of forums, and we've hit upon a SNAFU (Which hopefully you'll can deflumux before it becomes TARFUN lol)
Occasionally, the location field on some members will have whatever they have as a location, and "[DNCE:Undefined]" tagged onto the end. Sometimes members will have nothing in the location field, and still get the extra text string appended. This seems to be random members, whether they've changed their name or not, and retyping the location to remove the extraneous text usually results in the text coming back later on anyway.

Is this a fixable thing? Hope you can help

[Azy]

Wormopolis any joy with this?

[Teg]

Wormopolis we really like the plugin as it does what it's suppose to do. But that DNCE error is a big problem can you fix it please?

[Teg]

Wormopolis, are you still supporting this plugin?

[Azy]

I'd love to know this, too. I'd try and code something myself, but I'm busy with a housemove, and that gives my butt enough of a headache as it is.

That one text replacer plugin could possibly fix this. If you have an example of this happening on a users forum I could probably see what the problem is and possibly an actual fix.

With the plugin installed on various projects, the error occurs on multiple user's profiles. In the "Location Area," it will display DNCE: undefined instead of the user's location. It's currently doing this on HogEx, hence we deactivated it. It's also doing it on promoforum.net for users.

Looking at the sourcecode, it *looks* like the location field is used for temporary data storage for.... something. I don't know what. The [DNCE: Undefined] is in the sourcecode as part of a trapped error, triggered on the event a value is not set.

That can't be true because it also triggers when a value is set in that field.

it does seem weird doesn't it? It kinda looks like the value is set in the location field, then stripped out again after so the user never sees it. if it errors and you get that DNCE nonsense, it stays in there and isn't stripped out. Then you see it displayed, always appended to whatever's in the location field.

Well I can see the location scrubber isn't doing it's job in certain instances. Does it happen after shoutbox, ajax, or page load?
I can write a header code that will run the scrubber more often, should fix the issue.
Just need to know the instance it's not being ran. If you want it just run once more after page load I could do that?
