Changing Default Site Images

[(( Aurora !!]

Forum URL: perfectstorm.freeforums.net/


I was wondering if it was possible to change the default star images for the ranks? I know you can change them based on the theme and I currently have done that so all the groups have circles instead of the stars. But what I am hoping to be able to do is make it so that every place the stars show up you will see the circles not the stars. Since it is a role playing site some members have multiple accounts and when you go to the switch user page you see the stars because they are the default images. (Right now you will see nothing because I made all the default settings go back to 'none', but that was what it was doing before I did that.)

If that is not possible then I will just find something else to do but I thought it did not hurt to ask as maybe I was missing something or it is a feature the main admin account has that I do not have access to.

Thank you.

Hi

I am a little confused because you say you changed the stars to circles, but then say that they haven't changed? Perhaps you could give me a working example to look at so i can get a better understanding

Hi Craig,

I am sorry my original post did not make sense, I hope this one makes more sense. The star ranks can be changed to custom images per theme however that does not change them in all places. I would like to use the circles I have made to replace the stars in all areas.

By changing them per theme it means that the circles show up in the profiles like this:


But they do not change in all places so for example if you go to change accounts you get the stars again:


As you can hopefully see from the pictures by changing the rank images per theme you still have to use the default stars in some areas. When you go to the member group page the only option you have to choose from is the stars. That is what I would like to know if can be changed because I would prefer to use the circles I made to the default stars.

Ah. Interesting, i don't know if they work independent of themes, or perhaps they take the image from the default themes. Have you changed them on the default theme at all?

Hi (( Aurora !!,

Unfortunately it's not currently possible since the images are theme based rather than global to the forum. So while you'll be able to modify the stars via your theme, it's not currently possible to select a custom image in the Members > Member Groups area of your admin panel. However, I've marked this topic as a feature request for the devs to consider in the future

I thought that may be the case CheatAreZee. Thank you for your help and hopefully they consider it for the future.

Craig I had the circles changed on both themes, the default and the light one, as I wanted it all to match.

This is why I don't use Group Stars at all on my forum, I put it into the Group Name with a linebreak. So like
Administrator<br><img src="Whatever the URL is">
How I've always done it ^^

That is similar to what I am going to do instead now ₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪ . I have put pictures into the line before but I never thought of putting the line break in but that is a good idea.
