Disabling automatic ranking

phpVMS Legacy Support (v2/v5)

Hey guys,

I’m currently doing some work on a military based group using the phpVMS system, and we need to be able to award ranks on a when and why basis, not on hours.

I’m sure this has been brought up before but i cant find the topic

Thanks, Ben.

Hi Ben, you can just take out the hours in the ranks then nothing will be automatically issued, or just remove them all together, as for the manual additions you can just add those to the awards section in the admin section and manually issue them when required.

In local.config.php you can also change

Config::Set('RANKS_AUTOCALCULATE', true);

to

Config::Set('RANKS_AUTOCALCULATE', false);

If you do that, you still have to do what simpilot said to be able to actually change the rank
