Let user choose how many reputation points to give (up to their limit).

[drew010]

This modification gives the user the option to choose how many reputation points to give or take when posting reputation on a post. They cannot give or take more than the number of points they have available.

When giving rep, aside from choosing if they approve or disapprove of the post and entering a comment, there is a dropdown box going from 0 to the number of rep points they have. This allows them to award or take a lower number of points than the default which uses their point value.

There is a check in place to make sure the user didn't alter the form to give or take more than the maximum value they can use. An appropriate error message is displayed.

An important thing to note about this mod is that due to a problem with Internet Explorer not being able to show the select box on top of the page when you have the ajax popups enabled, turning this mod on will override your setting for using ajax for giving reputation. It doesn't turn ajax off for anything else. The user will be taken to the default page that is used when popups are disabled if they are using Internet Explorer.

Installation: To install, unzip the product XML file, and import it to your board using the product manager in the AdminCP found under "Plugins & Products" => "Manage Products" => "Add/Import Product"

There are no templates to edit, they should be done automatically. If there is any problem with the dropdown menu showing up please let me know.

Show support if you use it: Mark This As Installed (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=146438) if you use it on your board. Thanks :)

Change Log:

Version 1.1.0

The default value is no longer 0 and is now the user's reputation power
Fix negative reputation problem which could generate an error if the user takes more than half their rep power

That's just a screenshot of the User Reputation Manager showing it gave 5 points, instead of the 10 it would have. It is found under "User Reputations" => "View Reputation Comments"
All this mod does is add the select box into the existing rep system so the person can choose how many points to give.
To disable that just disable the mod from the product manager and the rep system will function as normal.
The reasoning behind making this was on my board rep affects the ability to use certain programs and gain access to other areas and some users have huge amounts of rep and giving like 20 points for a simple thing to me seemed to defeat the purpose so I encourage them to give an appropriate amount of points based on what they are repping for.

Right now the mod only supports a dropdown. I was able to switch to a textbox using a Firefox addon that has the option of converting all form <select> boxes into text boxes. It is called Web Developer which can be found here (http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/)

The reason I go with the drop down is because users may not know their exact rep power or what limitations they would have if there was just a text box to type in.

yeah just waiting to see if anyone has any issues with it before i call it a release. maybe see if there are any suggestions for it as well so i can add a feature or two before doing that.

[FreshFroot]

hmm I don't see any bugs so far. However, for adding features.. mabye something like limiting a number.. or just a fixed number per a forum... Like say you have a offtopic or games area.. you might only want like the min rep used or something.. I'm just throwing ideas..

[bela-meaad]

Thanks

allah bless you

[Spank]

I notice from your screen shot to select 0. Does this give a 'neutral' rep? If so is it possible to have that they can either give/take their maximum or give a neutral?

[Muellmann]

Works error free, ty. ;)

[General BAM]

how about changing it from the # of points you are giving to a scale of points (1-10)

right now if you have 80 points of rep altering power it would show you the numbers 1-80
this would change it to just the number 1-10... where 1 would alter the persons rep by 10% of your total rep and 10 would alter it by 100%...

this way the drop down menu has less selections on it... plus most people dont know their rep altering levels... so this would be simpler for them...

i hope i explained that well enough

[FreshFroot]

I like your idea from a scale of 1-10.. it would be tough to rate when you have 0-100 rep :p

[akulion]

on my board i have "gangs" who group up on people just to bring their reps down and with this they will have a feild day lol

:)

the only code related to modifying templates are these two things:
on showing the reputation form i look for the vb phrase your_comments_on_this_post and i insert a tr in the row just before it (with the dropdown stuff) leaving the rest as it was when i read the cached template, so any other mods should be included.

and i replace vbrep_register(postid) with parseInt(postid) so that the ajax rep wont show do to the ie problems and the parseInt is just used because it has no side effects of replacing that call.

all the other stuff is hook based php to handle the rest.

and thanks kgb, i actually requested it a while back before i started messing with vbulletin code so im glad someone else wanted the same.

what about detect browser agent?

2 ways to upgrade this:

install the modified product in my attachment, and overwrite current one.
go to Plugin Manager
Edit the plugin Generate HTML Dropdown
Find:
$repdd = '';
for($i = 0; $i <= $score; ++$i) {
$repdd .= "<option value=\"$i\">$i</option>";
}
Replace with:
$repdd = '';
$ii = -1;
for($i = 0; $i <= 10; $i++) {
if (floor($score * ($i / 10)) != $ii) {
$ii = floor($score * ($i / 10));
$a = $i * 10;
$repdd .= "<option value=\"$ii\">".number_format($ii)." - $a%</option>";
}
}


;)

What it does is:
It shows the 0 value, and max 10 other values, with percentages and rounded numbers (floor).
if member has > 10 reppower, it creates a list with 10 (+1) values
if member has < 10 reppower, it creates a list with x (+1) values, and it won't post doubles.

5 reppower 101 reppower 2000 reppower
0 - 0% 0 - 0% 0 - 0%
1 - 20% 10 - 10% 200 - 10%
2 - 40% 20 - 20% 400 - 20%
3 - 60% 30 - 30% 600 - 30%
4 - 80% 40 - 40% 800 - 40%
5 - 100% 50 - 50% 1,000 - 50%
60 - 60% 1,200 - 60%
70 - 70% 1,400 - 70%
80 - 80% 1,600 - 80%
90 - 90% 1,800 - 90%
101 - 100% 2,000 - 100%



Our older members even got to 2,000 reppower :D
This is the perfect hack on my request here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207456) :) Thank you :up:

[Mrdby]

when i add points..it doesn't show..why?

[subnet_rx]

When someone negative reps with this addon, it negative reps the full amount instead of half. Anyone know how to prevent this?

[Malibu]

This is great....

but one side effect that i have noticed is that users may only give low amounts of rep if they want to keep another members rep from shooting up.

is there a way you can build in some options that allows an admin to alter the options for each user.

For example...

if someone has rep power 8...

then they can choose to give 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 rep points.

If an admin can limit it to the top three or four then that user can only give 5, 6, 7 or 8 rep points.

This may help to limit the amount of rep "whoring" goes on, so to speak.

[InfidelMatt]

Great hack, but I have a bunch of people accidentally giving 0 rep. is there any way to set the minimum to 1 instead of 0?

Matt

[steve71]

1. How can I make the drop down max at 10 points?

I have the Enhanced reputation checks mod enabled to cap voting at 10 points, but it doesn't take effect with this mod in use.

2. Is this compatible with 3.6.7

Thanks for the hack!

[mfyvie]

Great hack, but I have a bunch of people accidentally giving 0 rep. is there any way to set the minimum to 1 instead of 0?

This is exactly the problem I was having. The problem is that people don't always read what is in the drop-down box, therefore it's important that the default choice is the max rep, rather than 0!

I've fixed the issue, and suggest that this change is made in the next version:

In the plugin "Generate HTML dropdown"

Find:

for($i = 0; $i <= $score; ++$i) {

Replace with:

for($i = $score; $i >= 0; $i=$i-1) {

This will reverse current order, making max rep the first choice, and 0 the last.

[Alfa1]

When I give negative reputation and choose the maximum I get this message:
The reputation amount you are trying to give is more than you are allowed to give or take.
So members need to go back and correct this by trying again. This is not optimal. IS there a solution for this?

[ShatterStudios]

If I could make a suggestion, it would be to use a text box instead of the dropdown and just tell the person what his or her rep power is, like -

Give or take <text box> points (your rep power is __).

As it is, this hack isn't feasible at all for higher reputation powers, and if I understand the AJAX problem, doing it this way would take care of the need to go to the default page.

[okgaz]

When I give negative reputation and choose the maximum I get this message:

So members need to go back and correct this by trying again. This is not optimal. IS there a solution for this?

I have a similar problem. For some reason I can only give 1 negative rep or I get that error. I can give up to my max (3) positive rep though. Anybody know why?

[dutchbb]

[Cigarcritic]

Yea you can do that. In the "Generate HTML Dropdown" plugin, make the following change:


// change
$negrepdd .= "<option value=\"$i\">$i</option>";

// to
$negrepdd .= "<option value=\"$i\">-$i</option>";

[networktemple]

wats trigger the drop down box?

[drew010]

two dropdown elements are created, one invisible, and an automatic template edit inserts javascript to toggle between the two sets of dropdowns when each one is clicked.

[networktemple]

check out my repping system.. i want to add the box in each of these http://www.networktemple.com/

[AngelBlue]

A few problems...

(1) First problem... weak negative repping


$neg_score = intval($score / 2);


This code assumes that your negative reputation power is half of your positive rep power. On my forum this is not the case. In fact I have installed other mods like this one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133775) so I can change the multiplication factor for positive and negative rep (say, making negative rep twice as powerful as positive rep).

I have solved this for myself by changing the line above from :

$neg_score = intval($score / 2);

to :

$neg_score = intval($score * 1);


However, I think it might be nice if this mod worked with the other mod and used the multiplication factor it set. If the other mod isn't installed, it should use the vbulletin default.

(2) Second problem - users are confused by two things to click.

With stock vbulletin, you only have to choose one of two radio buttons for rep (good, or bad). It then does all the calculations for you as to how much rep to give. So the user only has to click twice at most (once to submit the form, another time if they want to change the type of rep given from good to bad before they submit the form).

It occurred to me that you could put ALL of the reputation options in one drop-down menu, and update choices accordingly.

For example, instead of getting this menu for giving good rep :

(X) Good - VBPHRASE : i_approve
( ) Bad - VBPHRASE : i_disapprove

[drop-down-menu from 0 to positive rep power]


and this menu for negative rep :


( ) Good - VBPHRASE : i_approve
(X) Bad - VBPHRASE : i_disapprove

[drop-down-menu from 0 to negative rep power]


You could instead eliminate the 'good' / 'bad' radio buttons, and have a system where anyone loading the page is shown one customisable phrase, and then presented with a drop-down menu listing all their rep choices from their max negative power to their max positive power.
Once they choose how much rep to give, they are then shown some descriptive text asking them to confirm their choice, and a 'Do it' button appears (or is activated).

Example of how the window could work :

1) When loaded, the user is shown an (editable) phrase like :
"You are about to give or take reputation from this person. This will affect their standing in the forum. Give reputation for things which in your opinion, make the forum a better place to visit, and take away reputation for things you feel detract from the forum.
Please select the number of points to give or take away : [drop_down_menu_here]"

2) Once they pick a number from the drop-down menu, text appears below the drop-down-menu. Say they selected +5 on the drop-down menu :
"You have selected to GIVE 5 points. This should be done only if you are happy with what was posted, thinking it was good for the forum and want to see more posts like it. [confirm_button_here]"

If they selected "-5" on the menu, they would get :
"You have selected to [B]REMOVE [/5] reputation points. This should be done only if you think what was posted will have a negative effect on the forum. [confirm_button_here]".

The benefits of this approach are :
1) No need to bother with good/bad radio buttons.
2) The text which appears can give people some sense of why they are giving the reputation, and confirm that it is for the right reasons.
3) With some modding, you could generate different phrases depending on how much reputation was given/taken. E.g. a -1 could generate a different message than a -5... so the forum owner could have a system that encouraged people to give -1s for off-topic posts, and -5s for flaming, spam, etc.

Just a thought.

Is there really no way around the Internet Explorer bug to show the ajax popups?

[jmurrayhead]

Is there really no way around the Internet Explorer bug to show the ajax popups?

You would probably have to modify it to use regular javascript popup window, instead of AJAX.

[drew010]

Is there really no way around the Internet Explorer bug to show the ajax popups?

I tried several things, including changing the z-index of the dropdown box to be one of the highest values possible, but for some reason IE has an error drawing it on that dynamic window that gets created. I have seen it display okay in some versions of IE7 but I haven't been able to work out which versions of 7 it didn't work with. IE6 will probably be hopeless, but I think in a future version there will be better detection for IE7 and use ajax for that rep window wherever possible.

Basically, what happens is when the window shows, the space where the dropdown should be is just empty, the words are spaced apart as if it were there taking up room, but it seems to be invisible or underneath the popup div or something.

[dutchbb]

Ok thanks. I got another suggestion for this hack: in usercp/latest rep. showing how many points have been given would be usefull :)

Otherwise I would definately use this mod.

[droid101]

Does this not work with Firefox?

What if someone who only has one rep power in firefox tries to give reputation? Will it give/take 0 points... since it doesn't ask how many?

It does ask if you have more than one rep power, but doesn't if you only have one. Weird.

[droid101]

Okay, so if you only have one rep power, you can't give negative reputation? It only allows you to choose from 0 or +1 rep if you only have one rep power. How can I change this so that they can choose -1 as well?

[droid101]

Okay, well, I did something for the time being to fix it. In the "Generate HTML Dropdown" plugin, I changed

$neg_score = intval($score / 2);
to:
$neg_score = intval($score / 2+1);

This works... a bit clunky, but oh well.

[LilSniper]

50% of the time, users try to give 0 rep, it makes them give -rep. How can I solve this??

hey guys, does any one know a way to show the user reputation points on their posts along with rep power?
Just put $post[reputation] in your template postbit (or postbit_legacy) wherever you want it.

[Gwendolin]

Replace with:

for($i = $score; $i >= 0; $i=$i-1) {

This will reverse current order, making max rep the first choice, and 0 the last.Hi,

how this works with the negative points?

I tried

for ($i = 0; $i <= $neg_score; --$i) {

but than the popups don't works anymore.

And how I could remove the 0 from the negative points?

[Alfa1]

This works well on vb 3.8

Mhm. There is no way I can do without this. When I do upgrade to vbulletin 4, I will need to get this functionality.

Mind that this addon has a small bug. If users rate multiple posts in the same thread, this addon only works for the first rating. All further ratings will change to the maximum positive points or maximum negative points.
