Introducing "Custom_Rank" Addon for Cody Chat!

Take your Cody Chat site to the next level with the "Custom_Rank" addon! This powerful feature allows administrators to assign custom ranks and titles to users, adding a new layer of personalization and fun to the chat experience. Custom ranks are purely visual and do not grant any actual staff privileges or functionalities.

To ensure smooth functionality, a few adjustments need to be made to your Cody Chat files during or after installation. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

Required File Adjustments:

1. Open chat_log.php in the system/ directory:

   • Locate the following code snippet:

     boom_users.user_name, boom_users.user_color, boom_users.user_font, boom_users.user_rank, boom_users.bccolor, boom_users.user_sex, boom_users.user_age, boom_users.user_tumb, boom_users.user_cover, boom_users.country, boom_users.user_bot
     

   • Replace it with:

     boom_users.custom_rank, boom_users.custom_rank_name, boom_users.user_name, boom_users.user_color, boom_users.user_font, boom_users.user_rank, boom_users.bccolor, boom_users.user_sex, boom_users.user_age, boom_users.user_tumb, boom_users.user_cover, boom_users.country, boom_users.user_bot
     

   • Again, locate the same code snippet:

     boom_users.user_name, boom_users.user_color, boom_users.user_font, boom_users.user_rank, boom_users.bccolor, boom_users.user_sex, boom_users.user_age, boom_users.user_tumb, boom_users.user_cover, boom_users.country, boom_users.user_bot
     

   • Replace it with:

     boom_users.custom_rank, boom_users.custom_rank_name, boom_users.user_name, boom_users.user_color, boom_users.user_font, boom_users.user_rank, boom_users.bccolor, boom_users.user_sex, boom_users.user_age, boom_users.user_tumb, boom_users.user_cover, boom_users.country, boom_users.user_bot
     

2. Open function.php in the system/ directory:

   • Locate the following function:

     function chatRank($user){
         global $data;
         if(isBot($user)){
             return '';
         }
     

   • Add a new line after the if(isBot($user)){ return ''; } line and insert the following code:

     if(!empty($user['custom_rank']) or !empty($user['custom_rank_name'])){
         return customRank($user, 'chat_rank');
     }
     

   • The updated chatRank function should look like this:

     function chatRank($user){
         global $data;
         if(isBot($user)){
             return '';
         }
         if(!empty($user['custom_rank']) or !empty($user['custom_rank_name'])){
             return customRank($user, 'chat_rank');
         }
         $rank = systemRank($user['user_rank'], 'chat_rank');
         if($rank != ''){
             return $rank;
         }
     }
     

   • Locate the following function:

     function proRanking($user, $type){
         if(isBot($user)){
             return proRank($type, botRankTitle(), botRankIcon());
         }
     

   • Add a new line after the if(isBot($user)){ return proRank($type, botRankTitle(), botRankIcon()); } line and insert the following code:

     else if(!empty($user['custom_rank']) or !empty($user['custom_rank_name'])){
         return customRankPro($user, $type);
     }
     

   • The updated proRanking function should look like this:

     function proRanking($user, $type){
         if(isBot($user)){
             return proRank($type, botRankTitle(), botRankIcon());
         }
         else if(!empty($user['custom_rank']) or !empty($user['custom_rank_name'])){
             return customRankPro($user, $type);
         }
         else {
             switch($user['user_rank']){
                 case 0:
                 case 1:
                 case 2:
                 case 8:
                 case 9:
                 case 10:
                 case 11:
                     return proRank($type, rankTitle($user['user_rank']), rankIcon($user['user_rank']));
                 default:
                     return '';
             }
         }
     }
     

   • Locate the following function:

     function proRank($type, $txt, $icon){
         return '<img src="default_images/rank/' . $icon . '" class="' . $type . '"/> ' . $txt;
     }
     

   • Add a new line after the return '<img src="default_images/rank/' . $icon . '" class="' . $type . '"/> ' . $txt; line and insert the following code:

     function customRank($list, $type){
         return '<img src="' . $list['custom_rank'] . '" class="' . $type . '" title="' . $list['custom_rank_name'] . '"/>';
     }
     function customRankPro($list, $type){
         return '<img src="' . $list['custom_rank'] . '" class="' . $type . '"/> ' . $list['custom_rank_name'];
     }
     

   • Locate the following function:

     function getRankIcon($list, $type){
         if(isBot($list)){
             return botRank($type);
         }
     

   • Add a new line after the if(isBot($list)){ return botRank($type); } line and insert the following code:

     else if(!empty($list['custom_rank']) or !empty($list['custom_rank_name'])){
         return customRank($list, $type);
     }
     

   • The updated getRankIcon function should look like this:

     function getRankIcon($list, $type){
         if(isBot($list)){
             return botRank($type);
         }
         else if(!empty($list['custom_rank']) or !empty($list['custom_rank_name'])){
             return customRank($list, $type);
         }
         else if(haveRole($list['user_role']) && !isStaff($list['user_rank'])){
             return roomRank($list['user_role'], $type);
         }
         else {
             return systemRank($list['user_rank'], $type);
         }
     }
     

3. Open user_list.php in the system/panel directory:

   • Locate the following code snippet:

     SELECT user_name, user_mobile, user_color, user_font, user_rank, user_dj, user_onair, user_join, user_tumb, user_status, user_sex, user_age, user_cover, country,
     

   • Replace it with:

     SELECT custom_rank, custom_rank_name, user_name, user_mobile, user_color, user_font, user_rank, user_dj, user_onair, user_join, user_tumb, user_status, user_sex, user_age, user_cover, country,
     

   • Again, locate the same code snippet:

     SELECT user_name, user_mobile, user_color, user_font, user_rank, user_dj, user_onair, user_join, user_tumb, user_status, user_sex, user_age, user_cover, country,
     

   • Replace it with:

     SELECT custom_rank, custom_rank_name, user_name, user_mobile, user_color, user_font, user_rank, user_dj, user_onair, user_join, user_tumb, user_status, user_sex, user_age, user_cover, country,
