Extended Reputation Display

[Paul M]

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This hack extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then a series of bronze, silver and gold stars as the pips limit is reached.

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by gold pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the (prefix) display of stars begins - starting with the bronze stars, then silver stars and finally gold Stars. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and red stars - however, there is only one star level for negative reputation.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of each star is limited by an ACP option (by default, 5 bronze = 1 silver, and 5 silver = 1 gold). The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings in the vboptions > reputation options. A line break can be inserted after the stars. The extended display system can be enabled/disabled in the options.

Just follow the install instructions in the zip file to install this product.

You cannot install this on a Beta or Release Candidate Version, you must upgrade to the proper 3.8.0

[xbox360forum]

thanks paul :) glad its on 3.8.0 :D

[-=Leb=-]

same here :)

[samraz972]

The images dont show? it just keeps repeating this person will become famous soon enough...

[Paul M]

You have not uploaded them to the correct place then.

[DjEddie]

Thanks for the mod :)

Ive installed it, put the images in all reputation folders of default and custom skin, but the extra's dont show up?

Any ideas please :)

[Paul M]

What do you mean by "dont show up"

[nightbloom]

They wont show up unless you put them in the folder that has all your style's images.

[Phaedrus]

Woah...

It made the "Username is a name known to all" repeat again, and again, and again....

I had to disable it. What would make it do that?

[Paul M]

Read the posts above - you have not uploaded the images to the correct place.

[Phaedrus]

Woah...

It made the "Username is a name known to all" repeat again, and again, and again....

I had to disable it. What would make it do that?
Duh, loaded it into every style except my default...

[DjEddie]

What do you mean by "dont show up"

Nothing changes from what was there before, non of the added images that i have uploaded from this mod. Images are all uploaded in all styles reputation folders

[thedudleys]

its based on the rep bar, the more points a member has, the more it will increase. just the settings in which you can name them. they will update accordingly.

I am running vBulletin? v3.8.1 Patch Level 1 .....does it not work w/ this because I got the same error. And if not, how did I upgrade to an unproper 3.8.0 :confused:

[DobieGillis?]

excellent mod, thank you!

[billb]

Marked as Installed

Great Mod and great service ; many thanks :up:

[Raskula]

Thank you, this is a very good modification, in fact, its the only modification that is good enough for me to use. :)

[BirdOPrey5]

Can we get a screen shot?

[Smitty]

Is there an update procedure from the 3.7 version other than to over write?

NOTE: In the 3.7 version, doing a Version Check in the Plugin and Products link shows the 3.7 version as the latest version...

[Paul M]

Just install the new version using overwrite (and copy the new images).

[Smitty]

Thanks for the response, Paul. I appreciate it!

[Lahoria]

any screenshoots `?

[Mellymonster]

Works great

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/06/28.png

Screen shot :) Its pretty self explanatory :D just adds new images to it and spices it up a bit. (I made my own stars though)

[SliceofLife]

Installed and works! Thank you very much.

[theforumplace]

Installed.

Thanks.

[Mellymonster]

If anyone wants to use my stars, they are welcome too. Hope no one minds me posting this here. http://www.sendspace.com/file/679fdw I made them and have full rights to give them away, so if you want to use them, go for it.

[Paul M]

I dont mind you posting them, but please attach them here as a zip file, not link to another site, thanks.

[xGriffin]

Hey, Paul.

I've edited the settings a little bit for it to work the way i need it to, but what i want is, once a user reaches the required amount of green pips, say 10. Once they do that, i want them to have a bar, and not the green pips next to the bar.

Is there anyway i can remove the green pips once the user reaches the required amount of rep? Thanks.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/07/57.png

There's a image of what i mean, i need to remove the pips on the left. Cheers.

[Paul M]

Sorry, Not possible without partly re-writing it.

[xGriffin]

Ah okay, that's fine.

Another question -

How do i get the Gold Pips etc to sit below the green bars, not next to them?

[Paul M]

There are no green bars in this modification, so im not sure what you have done to get some displayed.

[xGriffin]

Not Green Bars, i mean the little Green Pips.

[RedHacker]

Not it me install in 3.8.1 Version....

[Paul M]

Not it me install in 3.8.1 Version....
Sorry, I dont know what you mean by this.

[jakarta]

i am using 3.8.4 patch level 1 .. and this is not work .. after i install it . green bar is not shown

example
the maximum reputation bar is 11 after i install this mods .. the bar is not shown ..

sorry for my bad english ..

is that has trouble with vb experience ?

[thedudleys]

alright i tried this on 3.8.4 and now it is giving me a database error on the usercp when i click on it since its not picking up my database prefix that i changed it to. any suggestion on how to get this to read the prefix on it?

[Paul M]

This mod does not have any database reads or writes in it, so it cannot cause a db error.

[thedudleys]

if thats the case then can you please explain this?

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT
count(postid) AS count
FROM reputation
WHERE reputation.userid = 1;

MySQL Error : Table 'username_support.reputation' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

my databse tables starts with sf_ which it seems to be not reading.

[Paul M]

Like I said, this mod has no database calls in it, therefore if you are getting a db error, you need to look elsewhere.

[Drocr]

If I dont want the starts to appear do I just remove them from the image folder?

[Paul M]

No, that wont work.

[Drocr]

Okay, is this basically the same thing as the original rep display just with stars? I want better bars that increase just not stars xD

[Barteh]

That's what it does in a way. It *greatly* extends the amount of rep that can be displayed, by replacing one full bar with a bronze star, several bronze stars with a silver star and several silver stars with a gold star.

So instead of everyone having a full bar most of the time and you having to devalue the amount reputation per pip on a weekly basis, you only have to do that maybe once every year or so with this mod installed.

If it's just the star images you're bothered about, you can easily replace them with for example larger pips.

[JorgeX]

Hi, i installed it but i don't know how to do to the mod to recognize the older posts....

I mean, the mod only recognizes the points from here to forward?

[Paul M]

The age of posts is irrelevant to this mod.

[JorgeX]

Then how can i do? I only see a green dot (10 points to 50) of reputation for me and i have 800 posts, and 1 point fo reputation for every 10 posts.

I've rebuilt the reputation information but i still having a green dot only:(


PS: I had reputation deactivated until this mod installation, but rebuilding the info should work isnt it?

[Paul M]

.... and i have 800 posts, and 1 point fo reputation for every 10 posts.
So you have 80 points. Therefore one green dot is all you should see (the default settings are 1 dark green per 100 points).

You need to be in the thousands of points range before you start seeing the full display.

[JorgeX]

I just need now a explanation about the stars, because there's only "Stars Level" to configure, but not it value.

I would like to know how many points a user need to have a gold star, a bronze star, etc...

[Harley D]

Is is suppose to show ALL the stars like the pic shows?
And its also showing the old reputation underneath as well :confused:
107043

[Paul M]

What picture ?

The stars shown is entirely depenant on your rep points.

What do you mean by "old reputation" ?

[Harley D]

If I have it setup to only show 5 stars, why is it showing 15 stars?

[Paul M]

The setting does not limit the total number of stars.

Max number of stars to display before switching to the next level

[shofolofo]

does it work for vb.4 ?
if no ... there is any alternative ?

[Paul M]

It will not work with vb4.

There is no alternative atm, but this will be released for vb4 at some point.

[Pandemikk]

Doesn't work. Images don't show. Uninstalled.

[Paul M]

Funny that, I and a few hundred other people have it happily working, so I think I'll just assume you made a mistake :)

[Barteh]

I bet he's using a custom image directory for his default style :)

Pandemikk: check with right mouse button where your current reputation images are located, upload the additional stars to that location. Same goes for any other styles on your forum that have custom images/reputation/ dirs, just check adminCP, styles & templates, style manager, all style options, image paths for each of your active styles.

[Paul M]

Im sure he is, but since he rather bluntly just said Doesnt work, uninstalled, rather than asking, I saw no point in saying anything more. ;)

[Barteh]

True :)

[Pandemikk]

Images are in the correct directory. The text shows repeated times but no images are displayed.

[RobbieZ]

Images are in the correct directory. The text shows repeated times but no images are displayed.

If you are showing text then your images are in the wrong directory/folder. Especially if you are using a different style.

The easiest and quickest way to find out where the images should be is to hover over the text.

eg. 'Admin has a reputation beyond reputation'
'Admin has a reputation beyond reputation'
'Admin has a reputation beyond reputation'
'Admin has a reputation beyond reputation'

Now you need to right click your mouse and hit view image.

A new screen will open with a server error saying not found but in the top bar will be the true root to your image.

eg Http://www.YOURFORUM.com/forum/images/reputation/greenpip.png

Please note that the above is not the actual path it is a random example of where it might be.

[Pandemikk]

Okay.. Uhm?

Sorry for being short earlier.

I enabled the product again before uploading the images again or moving them. And now it works perfectly..? I'm going to go ahead and blame this on a cache of some sort.

Thanks for the mod.

[Paul M]

Good to hear, now you can click installed :)

[yoyoman]

Installed and marked!
Thanks for the MOD!

Here are my stars... very similar to Melly's but my "bronze" star is blue, I don't like bronze... they are 16 color transparent gifs. Looks good on both light and dark backgrounds.

[BirdOPrey5]

OK I have it installed but no place to change settings... on 3.8.4 PL2

in VB Options there is: User Reputation Settings but no changes were made to this page... Nothing else about Reputation? Also nothing under "User Reputation" on the side menu... where are the settings, please???

EDIT- Nevermind, I had to leave the admin cp and re-open it and Extended Reputation showed up in VB options.

nice mod, installed. Been looking for something like this, I have some members with uber high rep and 10 'green' pips just isn't enough.

[BirdOPrey5]

It would be great if there could be a line-break after every 5 stars for the legacy postbit.

[BirdOPrey5]

OK I changed to much smaller stars and really like the display no line break needed. Now I'm wondering if there is an easy way to make it display as many red stars as 'positive' stars in total? In the plugin I added 2 lines under the neg rep declarations,

$repy = 'redstar';
$repz = 'redstar';

and changed the if statement from if($pos) to just if(1) - best I could tell the logic might just have been there already but alas it didn't work right, very low reps had the full amount of negative stars but when I sorted my member list by lowest rep first I saw some were out of order, one had 2 red stars and a few pips and it was listed below 1 star and some pips, when I looked at the actual values they were as expected (sorted correctly) so I guess the math/logic for negative rep multiple stars is wrong- is there an'easy' fix for this, something I could add to the code so it calculates the number of negative stars correctly?

[M? CaMPa]

thank you

Im not sure what your trying to do here, but I would it imagine it worked exactly right - but since you defined all three stars (bronze,silver,gold) as red, it would look odd, since you have no way of knowing the 'value' of each red star - one gold star would be one red star, and three bronze stars would be three red stars, making it look like a higher red rep when in fact its lower.

[BirdOPrey5]

ahhh you're right... it probably did work right but couldn't tell the difference between the stars... maybe I can figure 2 more neg colors besides red... I guess what I was trying to do was just to make it display up to 9 (in my case) red stars for the lowest of the low reps, but each star doesn't represent an equal amount. I'll figure something out. Thanks.

[Alfa1]

Does this addon allow me to define different ranges for the display of negative and positive pips?
My range of positive reputation is between 0 and 10.000 points, while my range of negative points is between 0 and -100. As -100 causes a ban no one has less than that. I'd like to display one red pip for every 10 negative points.

[Paul M]

No, the same range is used for both.
