Memberlist Points PortalThis will allow you to put a points portal based on a memberlist.An example of a finished product can be see on the index page of HOWTODOIT on the top left. Please not the one on show is an ADVANCED one this guide is for the basic one, but you must follow this guide first. Please remember to use the Editor account before making any template changes Second you must have all ready a template you can edit. If you have not done this please read HOWTODOIT Ok all that done you now goto Your admin panel --- 3. Styles --- Portal Settings You will now see a screen that looks like this 
If you do not already see a portal named MEMBERLIST then (if you do then IGNORE The Steps 1-5) 1.Click on the Blank box icon that looks like this

2.Add MEMBERLIST to the name 3.And then what you want in the Title. 4. Click Create New Portal 5. Now goto admin panel --- 3.

Styles --- Portal Settings Click on Memberlist Now change the Enters of Profile field And Blank field To be the name of your profile field for example mine is called POINTS 7. You must have a profile field set up to use with this. So for this example I have created one called POINTS and given it the name of AssieJacks If you are going to use your own profile field then ignore the set up points below. Go to your forum's Administration Panel ----- 2. General --- Profile Fields Now add POINTS And click Add Custom Profile Field You will now see this screen 
Fill out the details as shown in the image then click submit. (Of course you can edit to suit your forum.) Now click submit 8. Now goto admin panel --- 3. Styles --- Edit Templates/Logos -- the template you wish to edit (EG myff_howtodoit1)--- Submit Now look at the bottom in the area marked Choose Portal template File to Edit use the drop down bar and find[/b] cms_MEMBERLIST.tpl You should now see the code like this
You need to change karma to the name of your points system for example mine is called Assiejacks so it would look like this (This is the title of your points system)
And also change KARMA to be the name of your profile field for example mine is called POINTS
So it Could look like this
By doing the above you have now set up a profile field where the admin of the forum can enter points via the admin panel. To do this goto admin - panel -- 4. Users -- Users List --- NAME OF PERSON ---- Edit Now enter the number of points next to the name of the profile field remember mine was called AssieJacks 
Now Where To Add It Most likely you would add this to cms_index_body.tpl Goto admin panel --- 3. Styles --- Edit Templates/Logos -- the template you wish to edit (EG myff_howtodoit1)--- Submit Now look at the bottom in the area marked Choose Portal template File to Edit use the drop down bar and find[/b] cms_index.tpl Your entry may look like this
