Also note that you can use the steps described above to upload images for use with User Ranks. To do this, use the General Admin -> Upload Smilies page to upload some small images for use with ranks. Set the "Automatically add to forum Smilies" checkbox to off, since these images will be for use with ranks and not smilies.
After uploading the image, right-click on the uploaded image and use your browser's available options to get it's pathname on the ForumWise server.
This will have a format like:
http://support.forumwise.com/images/smilies/support/icon_king.gif
Go to User Admin -> Ranks and edit or add a new rank.
Where it says "Rank Image (Relative to phpBB2 root path)" set the "Rank Image" with the name of the uploaded image and submit.
The Rank Image should have the following format:
/images/smilies/myboard/myimage.gif
...or...
/images/smilies/myboard/myimage.jpg
Where myboard is replaced with your forum's domain name. |
As I have thoroughly reviewed Mark's process of adding forum rank images, I've devised an alternative way of uploading rank images in the most easiest way possible.
This process doesn't requre you to occupy some of the space in your smily directory which means, saving space for more additional smilies(since the current image upload limit is 200) of your choice!
((START))
Step 1 - Find a suitable image that suits the rank you want to use, then upload it on an image-hosting site(preferrably imageshack).
Step 2 - Copy the "Direct Link to Image" line of your uploaded image and paste it in the blank line "Rank Image (Relative to phpBB2 root path)"
Step 3 - Submit it and voila! a cool rank image that doesn't need to be uploaded in the smilie directory.
((END))
Hope this can prove to be a useful post to our fellow forumwise users out there, thank you for reading and have fun posting!
