First Plugin Attempt

I am attempting to write my first plugin. The idea is to display a graphic image for the posters rank. I keep getting this error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘=’, expecting ‘}’ in /home/brightan/public_html/bbPress/my-plugins/graphic-display-ranks.php on line 82

Here is the function that includes line 82.

function user_rank($id) {
$special_rank = get_special_rank (get_post_author_id()); if ($special_rank>0) { switch ($special_rank) { case 1 : $display_rank=$path_to_rank_images . $image_for_special_rank_1; break; case 2 : $display_rank=$path_to_rank_images . $image_for_special_rank_2; break; } } else { $rank_count=get_post_count(get_post_author_id()); for ($i=1;$i<$num_ranks;$i++) { if ($rank_count<$rank_max[$i]) {$display_rank=$path_to_rank_images . $rank_img[$i]; } else {$display_rank="";} } } return $display_rank;
}

What am I not seeing?

Hmm … which of the lines is line 82? I just can’t see any error, too.

I also put it into my Code Analyzer, the only strange thing it said was that you dont’t use the function variable $id.

I have no idea -.-

I found the error. It was way above the function quoted. (A missing close quote in a switch statement.)

Now, I’m not sure where to place it in the code. What I want to do is place the graphic under the posters title. (ie. On this page a graphic would be displayed below the member’s name and the title like this:

I think you should use a function like:

function apply_author_title_image( $r ) { $r .= '<br>Your Image'; return $r; } add_filter('post_author_title', 'apply_author_title_image');
