Freddie's simple stars hack in 2.03

[wacnstac]

Ok, I have been using Freddie's simple stars hack going way back. Had it in version 2.01 but can't seem to get it to work in 2.03.

In stars.php:

<?php
// very basic stars hack by freddie
unset($stars);
if ($post[usergroupid]==5 || $post[usergroupid]==6 || $post[usergroupid]==84)
{
// Admin and Supermod Stars
$starsgif = '<img src="images/deer.gif" border=0>';
$stars .= $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif;
}
else
{
// Everyone else
$starsgif = '<img src="images/deer.gif" border=0>';

if ($post[posts] > 1000)
$stars .= $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif;
elseif ($post[posts] > 200)
$stars .= $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif;
elseif ($post[posts] > 100)
$stars .= $starsgif . $starsgif . $starsgif;
elseif ($post[posts] > 20)
$stars .= $starsgif . $starsgif;
elseif ($post[posts] > 5)
$stars .= $starsgif;
if (!$stars)
$stars = '<br>';
else
$stars .= '<br><br>';
}
?>

In showthread.php
$counter=0;
while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {
include('stars.php');
if ($postdone[$post[postid]]) {
$counter--;
continue;
} else {
$postdone[$post[postid]]=1;
}
$postbits .= getpostbit($post);
}


and I haven't changed my postbits template yet, it still calls $stars. Yet my stars don't show up. Is there anything in 2.03 that would make this good old reliable hack not work?

Thanks

Will this simply not work with 2.03 or 2.21? If not can anyone suggest another simple stars hack that will and that is similar to this one? I don't really need any of these complex stars hacks that I have seen floating around in these hacks forums lately.

I use this one on my board (2.0.3):
