Default User Title/Ranks

I would like to assign seperate images to each of the User Titles/Ranks I setup on my forum.
At the moment, I've got 1 image in the Images Only section for the pips. But what I want to do is create something else. For instance:

I want Rank 1 to have as the image for it

and

Rank 2 to have and so on and so forth.

On the setup for User Titles/Ranks it says:
"If you wish to use a custom image, simply enter the image name in the pips box. Note, these custom images must reside in the 'html/team_icons' directory of your installation"

Is it possible to get these images I want to use uploaded to said folder, or is there another way of doing this ?

Thanks for any help, in advance.

I do believe there is a tutorial on how to do this in the IPB documentation.

Ok, I've looked at the IPB Documentation. And what is there is not helping.

In the skinning section of the documentation it explains how to get custom Pips. What they explain is how to get images uploaded to the emoticons folder.
This is what I already have. You can see Here at the Asgard Forums.

What I want is to upload files to 'html/team_icons' so that I can upload say 9 different images and use them, instead of the counting pips.

If anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

the destination directory for the pips has obviously been changed from /emoticons to /team_icons.

We need to know how to upload to the /team_icons directory now or the pip images are not showing up.

Yes thank you, that is exactly what I meant. I guess I didn't make it too clear.

You don't need to upload them to the team_icons directory, you can use the emoticons directory. I am testing it right now on my test board, and it works fine.

Upload it to the Emoticons directory, enable it in the emoticon section and go to User/Title Ranks and paste in this code into the "Number of pips" section:

Code:
../emoticons/boardname/IMAGE.EXT
Just do that for all your images and user ranks.
