Right, if you want to give users it by default (when they sign up), go to app/class.users.php - search for this:
PHP Code:
$this->addUser($template->form->reg_username, $core->hashed($template->form->reg_password), $template->form->reg_email, $_CONFIG['hotel']['motto'], $_CONFIG['hotel']['credits'], $_CONFIG['hotel']['pixels'], 1,
Replace ONLY that bit with:
PHP Code:
$this->addUser($template->form->reg_username, $core->hashed($template->form->reg_password), $template->form->reg_email, $_CONFIG['hotel']['motto'], $_CONFIG['hotel']['credits'], $_CONFIG['hotel']['pixels'], 2,
Then every user will have rank 2.
Now if you want the current users to have VIP, run this SQL query in Navicat/PHPMyAdmin or whatever else:
Code:
UPDATE `users` SET `rank` = '2';
Or, if you want to run it on a page, just stick this on:
PHP Code:
mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `rank` = '2'");
That should do the trick.
