Hey guys, im not a coder but ive been quickly trying to learn PHP over the 4 weeks ive had VBulletin. This is my first template mod cause ive not learn how to make plugins yet lol. I asked for weeks and weeks on how to do little things that would (when complete) construct my reputation system but know one replied with a respectable answer. Although once id managed to complete it and have it working i decided to share with you guys.
Purpose
I run a music production website where i provide downloads, but they are meant as a priveledge given to comitted members. So, to have access to the downloads section you must have 20 reps/reputation points (set as a rank in adminCP). This is now the share ratio because this mod rewards a rep point to the user who posts a new thread in the download section and deducts a rep point to those who reply to a thread. This will stop an progressive leeching issue, but of course without good moderation may introduce spamming (just a warning).
Modification
Ok down to the coding..
In > */includes/functions_newpost.php
find:
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks' ));
}
else
{
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_duplicatepo st', true, true));
}
}
}
}
and, underneath put:
if ($type == 'thread')//if its a thread and not a post/reply
{
$result = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT reputation FROM user WHERE userid =".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']." ORDER BY userid ASC");
$punkty=$result['reputation']+1;//incrase reputation by 1 CHANGE IF REQUIRED
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE user SET reputation=".$punkty." WHERE userid=".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
$senderpermissions=2;
$registry =& $vbulletin;
}
else//if its anything but a thread, hense; post/reply
{
$result = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT reputation FROM user WHERE userid =".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']." ORDER BY userid ASC");
$punkty=$result['reputation']-1;//decreases reputation by 1 CHANGE IF REQUIRED
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE user SET reputation=".$punkty." WHERE userid=".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
$senderpermissions=2;
$registry =& $vbulletin;
}

If you want this feature in just a select number of forums you add this around the above:
if ($foruminfo[forumid] = 4 OR $foruminfo[forumid] =5)
{
//ABOVE CODE
}
or in a number of chained forums:
if ($foruminfo[forumid]>4 AND $foruminfo[forumid]<8)// ADDED IN FORUMS 5, 6 AND 7
{
//ABOVE CODE
}
For this to apply to different usergroups
if ($userinfo['usergroup'] =6)
{
//ABOVE CODE
}
