Buttons - I WANT ONE! (Machine loyalty badges)

[Alie K]

You've seen them under some member's names. It screams to the forum, "I HAVE THIS MACHINE!".

1017

You may also notice that if you click on it, you are taken to a link for that machine. Cool! So, how do you do that to your profile? It's EASY!

1) At the top of the page, look for the "Forum Actions" dropdown. Click on it and choose "General Settings".

1018

2) Scroll down the next page until you see "My Settings". Under that heading, look for "My Account", and choose "Permission Groups".

1016

3) On this page, you'll see all the groups that Rotary Tattoo Forum has created loyalty badges for! All you need to do is tick off which machines you own! Once you have chosen your machine[s]/groups (and lustfully gazed upon future purchases), simply click on "Join Group".

1019

You are now free to blatantly boast about your growing collection! Hooray!

Yes, I realize that not every machine made is listed in the groups. The admin and I are working on it. It's very time consuming to create them in photoshop as well as link them to the correct websites where you can find them, and we are also trying to re-work the machine buttons so that they look cooler. We appreciate your patience, and look forward to the day when we have almost all of the popular machines that we all know and love!

Thank you!

that seems easy enough..bet it was hell to set up

It was just labor intensive. vBulletin is not a simple piece of software... well it is when you finally figure it out but its not like you can go to school to know this program or just read some simple tutorials. Its a ton of searching online and through the vBulletin forum to see what people have done and how they did it. 90% of the vBulletin forum community is programmers so its a ton of stuff I will never begin to understand.

More upgrades to the gallery section coming later! wee!

[Alie K]

Sometimes, I'll open up multiple windows, or 2 browsers like firefox and google chrome and split them on the screen. That way, I can refer to the instructions and easily see what I'm doing at the same time. If anyone has trouble following tutorials, try that method.

P.S. Nice job on the Brand Loyalty Badges, Phil.

I must admit, I get a great deal of help with the behind the curtain stuff on the site from the publisher of FishingFury.com. Jon has been not only kind enough to donate server space for the site to make it be here but made sure the maintenance and software upgrade done this weekend went swimmingly!

If you like fishing, visit his site. If you don't like fishing then go there anyway or draw him a fish and email it in as a submission. ;).

ooo I haven't done that in a while...

Welcome to the forum! There are still a few badges that need to be added / sorted. However, as the Admin / Staff volunteer their time some things take a bit longer as life outside the forum interferes ;) They are on their way though I promise!

[JohnnyChaos]

I've joined Stigma and Neuma. It says in my profile that I'm in the groups, but I don't have the icons.
I did have Stealth on which worked. but took it off to see if it might refresh it.

[Administrator]

lemme check if the buttons links are broken.

[JohnnyChaos]

are they broken then dude?

[Administrator]

I have the day off tomorrow so I will have a few hours to work on fixing a bunch of little things on this forum and another I work on.

[TATMATIC]

so i checked the shag one and its not showing on my profile .... and also is it only rotaries that have there own tags .... tatmatic tag would be nice ...

[TATMATIC]

yes ??? no ??? maybe ???

[Administrator]

The badges where set up for people to easily find builders who make rotary machines and users who use them. If I had to add every coil builder that many people have to be fair it would screw up the formatting, people have a ton already. You also have a link to your website in your signature on every post you make. This is all done as a courtesy and is free advertising for you.

The shagbuilt button will be fixed as soon as I have time to re do all the buttons.

[TATMATIC]

cool
just askin.....

[spoonertattoos]

dont forget to add martini to the list. I want to rep.

[Administrator]

July is when things slow down for me. I will finally have time to upgrade and work on stuff here.

[Tat2dPinoy]

I clicked 6 permission groups, but only 4 are visible?

[Administrator]

Waiting on redoing the whole site skin along with the correct buttons to match.

[Clone Boy]

Is there going to be a nedz permissions page so to have a loyalty nedz badge?

Thanks... :confused:

[OwlsDen]

Yeah I need the Swiss badge too, but it looks like a whole lot of that is in the works. I think they have nothing but good things planned for us all.

[Clone Boy]

I hope so :p
I can just imagine them putting all the machine builders on here and when someone posts a comment who has a big collection of machines taking up a whole page of makers for just 1 comment/post haha

[Nedz]

I would like a badge made for me please.

[Clone Boy]

Yes Mr Nedz as i have one of your micros been delivered next week so i need a badge. Are you going to the tattoo tea party in Manchester btw? Its the first event...:cool:

[WillBoslemTattoo]

i dont even have this option? its not showing up on my sidebar? it just jumps from general settings to edit ignore list?

[Administrator]

There was an issue with a security exploit in one of the versions of the software. We patched it. I just have to re upload new badges. When the site was built originally there was less than a dozen builders to feature now there is probably five times that.
