Does anyone know or where i can find out how to have more than one rank in the fourms?

You have to add your own, study your Forums admin panel, explore other ranks to see how they where created. Its just a name and a pic if required.

What im trying to get is One member with more than one rank (an extra rank if you will). Theres no option to give a member more than one rank in my admin panel. Is there a mod or something to do this.

I doubt it, it would be a pointless mod to make, when you can create any amount of Ranks already ie: give someone a higher Rank

Well it wouldn't be pointless at all, that is if you intend the extra rank field more for adding a 2nd image. Sorta like using the 1st rank field to set the forum rank (General) and the 2nd to set that members earned medals image. With both displaying in the avatar area of the members info.

Anyone got any ideas?

I believe vBulletin has a secondary ranking/titling system whereby you can assign users and/or usergroups secondary ranks as well.

I agree that secondary ranks are a good idea, especially if you have site supporters or donators and you want them to have credit via a ranking system.

My Daughter Rules!

Basically, here's an idea.

1) Take and make a duplicate of the Ranks pages for the Admin. (I always prefer to start with the "behind the scenes" work)

2) Open these files and just basically change the tables/fields that they referance to something new that you would like them to referance to.
IE (if it referances table nuke_bbranks - change it to nuke_bbranks_2)

3) Time to go server side! Open your database, duplicate your above stated tables, and rename the duplicates what you hand them in the file.

4) Edit your Display files (The themes, the Viewprofles page in "includes" the ViewTopic page, and if anyone can think of other files, let me know)

I hope this helps...

I had to do something like this to get my Jobs mod working, and then when the last patch came out, without even THINKING, I uploaded the files over my only working copy (my site's backup is on a burned out tower) and trashed everything I had worked on.

And Finally, ALWAYS KEEP BACKUPS! They definately come in handy. Both a large backup of the site files, and a MySQL database backup.
