XF 2.2 Adding stars to banners?

[Alvin63]

I have searched for this but didn't come up with much. Is it possible to add icon ratings like stars or similar, to user banners? And if so - how?

Creating custom User banner styling

By default, XF comes with the following user banner styles: Creating custom styling using the Other, using custom CSS class name option is fairly straightforward. This guide will explain how to. The easiest way by far to add new prefix...

Thanks Brogan. I think you linked me that before I got a bit confused with it. But will have another go.

I can see there is code for adding an icon - but how do you determine which members get that icon and when. Assume it would mean adding a user group but would the code recognise that? I'm guessing it would need user group promotion from a 1 star, to a 2 star banner, after certain criteria are met. Would that code work with that too?

The resource is just for banner styling.

You would need to create user groups and add members to them, either with promotions or manually.

Thanks. Just trying to get my head round that I'm sure I'll work out how to set a two star banner to a different permission than a 1 star banner!

Set up a group specific to the 2 star banner.
Set up custom CSS for the 2 star banner and define it in the Other, using custom CSS class name in the User banner styling section of that group.
Set it at a higher display styling priority than the 1 star banner.
Create a promotion event based upon whatever criteria you need them to meet to gain the 2 star banner and require that they already be a member of the 1 star banner to get it to apply.
If you use banner stacking, then this will not work well as it will show all banners for the groups where you have banners defined.

The "is not a member of" criterion works well for that.

It will automatically remove a user group when being promoted to another user group.

Thanks very much!

What is the "is not a member of" criterion please? And how would I do that?
