Reputation Score to Existing Members

[misterfade]

My forum has been around for years and only now I've decided to enable the user reputation system. However, everyone has to start at the bottom now, but is there a way for everyone to have a certain score right away, based on how long they've been on the site?

Thanks.

I think you could create a script by starting with code out of admincp/misc.php, in the "rebuildreputation" section. That takes the base reputation as a parameter, but you probably calculate it using the join date. You'd also have to change the "ELSE" part of the CASE in the update (and the query used when there's no reputation records)...

OK, probably easier said than done.

LOL, ya it would be complicated doing it like that. What ended up doing though, was run a few simple queries to give users a certain amount of points based on their join date or amount of posts. So, problem solved!
