[Lesane]

Do you have any screenshots of the admin?

[fury]

Am I just not looking in the right place or is the karma hack just not visible to unregistered users?

U must register on the link below and then apply for the karma hack, after that the order must be approved by the administrator and then (i guess) you receive an email with a link where you can download the karma hack.

http://www.certifydev.com/

(Be aware: It even askes you for your phone number :D)

[fury]

I meant I can't see the results of the karma hack on the demo board. http://www.xibase.com/vB/images/smilies/retard.gif

I'm sure I'll eventually register to download it, but I gotta see it before that happens ;)

[Lesane]

aaah :D


Looks great Certify :up:

[certify]

I have already approved 2 accounts. Go and check your your account by clicking "My Account" --> "Order History" --> "Order Date"

[Lesane]

Yes, one of them is from mine. I came to the page where it gave me the download link and i downloaded the hack in a zip file but its corrupted :(

I tried it 3 times.

[certify]

I have just reupload a new copy, try again.

[floleb7]

why not add an attachment here ?
with your system if people have no license they can have the hack not with attachment

[Lesane]

Still no luck, the zip file is 1,09kb

[fury]

I only just now registered, how did you approve me? :D

[Dark_Wizard]

I totally agree and you may be violating the license agreement. Please post it here as an attachment. Thx.

[GraphicW]

I have not been able to view the hack on the demo board. Judging by the feature list, I went on ahead and registered for it and am now awaiting the approval to acquire.

[sleepbirdcyp]

I registered! and order one

but the download link is dead!!!!

Help!!!!!!!!

[GraphicW]

You have to wait for the download to be approved. I ended up ordering twice before I realized that fact.

[XiXora]

its a bit personal so i didnt give ne info. why not just post attachment here?

[talon3dhq]

What I don't understand is why you need to know where I live, what my phone number is, when I was born, etc just for a VB hack. I mean, if you want to make people join your site, fine, but that is way too much data you are collecting for no reason. Plus, your privacy policy clearly states that you will be sharing my information with your affiliates, which in essence means that someone else will have all my personal info. Yes, I read the whole policy, and it does say that it will not be shared with third parties without my permission, but your affiliates are excluded from this. I am sure that this is a great hack, but since I can't even see it use on your board unless I register, I think I will pass until a better way to download it has been established.

Of course, that is just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

Talon

[TheComputerGuy]

He is not violating the license. What if someone bought Overgrow's Karma hack, and they had an illegal vb..?

Same thing is it not. What about people who make that photo image....built off VB....They sell it to anyone who has the money...so I mean its not like he is charging for the hack.

But yes only license users can download offer the best security, but its his hack, for which he is donating to us

that is also a good point of alot of info...

[GraphicW]

I registered on Certifyexpress.com and still could not see the hack there. Personally, I wasn't worried about the information being given out.

[GraphicW]

I just realized how this hack works, you will begin to notice it when you post at certifyexpress.com. It does not show up in the user info field at all. It shows up under your login welcome.

[certify]

I have approved all the orders.

The shopping system on CertifyDev is a from osCommerce.com and I did some hacking on it so you guys can download it and this is what I get. If you don't trust us, fine let it be.

Lesane - I will sent you the zip file later, I tested and it seems to be working file. I don't know why it's not working on your end.

GraphicW - Yes it on the main page only (currently) but I will make it work on anypage you want the karma to display on the next version 1.1 (E.T.A February 19 2002).

[monitox]

Hmm.. I registered.. :(
I need that hack.. " Your order will not ship until we receive payment. " !?
What payment ?

I W A N T I T !

Why nobody attach it here ?

I will post the attachment here as soon as my net connection improves.

[pgowder]

I regististerd, but haven't recieved anything.

Can you post some screen shots of how the karma points are displayed for the user?

[SaintDog]

I registered and I am waiting on it to be sent to me, about how long does it take (j/w :)).

I would really like to have this hack as soon as you could get it to me -

Thanks,

It has nothing to do with not trusting you certify, honestly. Anyway, if you are going to put the attachment here eventually, I will just wait for you to do that. Problem solved. Looking forward to using it.

[Floris]

I thank you very much for this hack, but I have never been more busy then going through all that registration just to get a zip file, nice for you to get more registered users this way, and pageviews for your stats. The file is really small, so I wonder why you can't attach it to the board here. Nice of you to have a complete payment system/ shopping cart thing going on, but it has nothing to do with vBulletin. Just having to go through all this trouble .. then I just wont download it, sorry.

[Floris]

[certify]

xiphoid - I don't like the way you threaten me at my site. If you don't like it don't bother. I never force you anyway. ;)

[certify]

I have just attach the zip file here. Go download and enjoy. ;)

[Lesane]

Great. Thanks.

[talon3dhq]

Many Thanks Cerify!

[Lionhead]

Great!

Thanks very much :)

[SaintDog]

Ok, I am having a small problem and I am hoping that you can help me out Certify. Ok, I have installed you hack on vBulletin 2.2.2, everything seems to be ok and running smoothly but the problem I am having is that the points are not showing up.

I have set the points in the section where I need to and all, afterwards I went to my username on the board and went to the bottom and selected "Add Points" from the drop down box. It shows I should have 6 points at this time (in the edit user section of the admin cp), but on the posts I have made, it does not show the points at all.

Is this a bug/error or do I have to reach the amount of posts set in the edit section before I can add points?

Please get back to me, I would like for this to work, it is a great hack, just this small problem :)

Thank you for the great hack and get to me as soon as you can,

SaintDog

[SaintDog]

Ok, well the reason I could not see it was because I did not add it to the right template (welcome text).

Is there anyway that you could make it to where we can add it to the postbit template Certify? That would be much better than having it viewed on the home page templates (in my opinion anyway).

Thanks,

SaintDog

[kushtiUK]

Great hack thanks.

I would like to display the Karma in the postbits for everyone to see who has what but I can't work out how to get it to display.

I use VBportals as well.

Can anyone advise.

[squawell]

nice hack :up: but seems can't work to me:(

i test it on my localhost and it show up this message

see the pic~

i need someone tell me what's wrong??

[SaintDog]

You will have to test on it on your actual board or install vBulletin in another directory and install it there at this time on your website because it will not install on your localhost (already tried it).

[sleepbirdcyp]

after installed this hack on my forum (VBB 2.0.1)

everything goes fine on Karma Hack!

but when try to find a user by name at Admin CP

It says (Look at the Attachment)

Help! anyone can make it working on VBB2.0.1
Really need this great hack!!

THX :p

[SaintDog]

I do not believe it will work with any of the 2.0.x version of vBulletin (sorry to say), although I can not confirm this, I would say it will only work with vBulletin 2.2.x.

[certify]

As for the karma to appear in postbit template and other templates I have to make some changes in the code but you guys have to wait until Feb 18 2002 as I will be taking sometime off for holiday.

[certify]

I have only tested karma v1.0 in vb 2.2.2

[SaintDog]

Sounds good to me - how much needs to be edited? I could probably modify it if I knew what file.

Thanks again for a great hack, all that is really left would be maybe some images like OverGrows? :) (where it adds images according to the karma you have).....Maybe for the next release?

[certify]

You have to take a look kpoints.php and install_points.php

I have not seem OverGrows hack, what images?

[SaintDog]

Well at this time he does not have it up as he upgraded from 1.1.6 to 2.2.1 - BIG upgrade :).

Anyway, his went according to how much karma you had. Let's say you have 20 Karma points, you would have 1 green dot under your name in all your posts (the display of the green dots looks like the stars hack).

Such as this

Username
Administrator
* * * * * <-----Karma Dots

Avatar Here

Posts: 100
Location: USA
ect...


Something to that effect.

[MarkB]

This is just what I was after! I installed it locally and it works great -- will put it on my online board this weekend :)

[certify]

Ok, Like the stars hack. I get it.

I'll add that in my to do list. :)

[SaintDog]

Cool thanks, I would love to see it like the way I described, of course the admin would need to be able to set the amount of points it required to hit the next "Dot" of karma just like the stars hack.

Thanks for the quick response!

SaintDog

Could u make this hack working on VBB2.0.1


many thanks!


:)

[certify]

Most likely no, I don't have the time. Why not upgrade to 2.2.2 since v2.0.1 contain security issues.

[squawell]

hey guys i need help

the install_point.php can't work for me~~:(:(

so can someone do a txt file for me~~plz?

I think I can manage till then but don't make me wait to long ;) LOL

[SaintDog]

If you are trying to install it on "localhost" such as on your home computer, it probably will not work. I think one person got it to work but I have installed and compiled Apache, PHP, MySQL, Perl, ect on my computer and it will not install on my home computer.

I had to install it on my actual server on the internet, so you may be one of the ones that have to do that also.

If you are not trying to install it on "localhost" on your computer, then I am not sure what could be the problem right off, everyone else seems to have it working (I think) :)

[MarkB]

To install it on your local machine, replace action=$script with action=install_point.php in the install file.

For some reason, when submitting the form, it tries to use /php/php.exe instead of install_point.php.

Sorry if this isn't clear enough, I just woke up :D

[squawell]

TO SaintDog:

i install it on my website and still can't work so i want the txt file

to do by hand!!

TO MarkB:

thankz buddy~~it work very well!!:D:D:D

THanks both of u~~:D:D:D

[GraphicW]

One thing you may want to look at is the ability for users to give Karma and comments based on posts as the Overgrow hack does. This would make the feature fun for the users and they would have the ability to apply negative/positive Karma with comments.

[SaintDog]

I agree with that fully :)

[Bane]

Not to seem overcritical but what exactly does this hack have to do with Karma at all? This is a very nice point system but I'm not really understanding where it is a Karma system.

When I think Karma I think Postive awards for Positive things, Negative awards for negative things? This is just points per post and reply etc.. There is no interaction with the rest of the community above this.

I was actually quite excited when I saw this, however it's not at all what I was expecting, perhaps I am missing something (I hope so) But where (other than the title) is karma involved here?

I would like to point out its not that I dont like the hack, I'm actually quite taken with it. Just think the name is very misleading.

[Guichi]

luckily for us
1. the hack is free unlike overgrows
2. the author seems to be very opened-minded about adding features that members want

i think this this a great start towards an exellent freeware karma hack. Thanks certify for a great hack, im going to install it either today or tommorow.

also, how about an auto-ban feature like the old UBB ones, this you can set the amount of negative karma so that the person is automatically banned for ex: -5 karma points.

[pgowder]

Is there a way for another user to see the karma of everyone else??

[SaintDog]

I would have to agree with Bane, although it is a nice hack, the name is a little misleading since almost everyone (even if they have not used it personally on their board) is acustom to Overgrow's hack, such as the look & feel of it.

Certify does seem open minded about the hack, so I would hope he will try to replicate the hack that Overgrow has produced, or have something close :).

pgowder: At this time, no, other users can not view other users karma. I as well as some others have mentioned it should be included in the postbit template, which would allow others to view it, but at this time, only you can view it.

[cdcopyworld]

Hi. nice hack

i was wondering if its possible just to have the points system to work in one forum and not all of them?

thanks

Does it not display in profile/memberlist?

[certify]

Ok...Ok..... gees.. :D

I will work on those features next week :


Ability for users to give Karma and comments based on posts
Auto-ban feature

[certify]

Originally posted by pgowder

No, but it will be just wait for next week release.

[SaintDog]

Don't forget the images, I think, imo, images such as those that Overgrow was using better represents the karma, more than points do.

If you can, images based on the amount of karma you have would be nice (admin should be able to edit this in the admin cp such as that in the stars hack).

[certify]

Yes that is also in my todo list.

[intellected]

Excellent hack!

If karma exists in real life, you sure did gain a lot of it by creating (and developing) this hack.

Don't pay too much attention the the "misleading name" posts - I'm quite sure you will make this hack much better than overgrows ever was.

Kudos to you, sir!

[intellected]

Oh, and methinks that it would be a very good idea to be able to turn off this system in certain forums. For instance, I don't want people to give karma in the "Religious and Political discussion" forums.

For those of you who blame him for asking too many details, indirect spam blah blah... note that certify uses oscommerce out-of-the-box script, not his intention to ask too much details like that. Playing around with oscommerce script and you will know what I meant. Besides, eventhough it's annoying, but just put fake address and that's it.

certify, thanks for great hack, and disregard username John on your site since can download it here.

[certify]

Thanks, we will try to do whatever overgrows has done. What feature is in his karma hack anyway, besides the one the is in my to do list?

intellected, good idea for "turning off the karma for certain forums". But this had to be on the next next release v1.2. :)

[SaintDog]

I may have missed it but do you plan to include the ability for users to leave good/bad comments on users? That is a big part of the Karma hack, allowing users to leave comments on them.

SaintDog

[Freddie Bingham]

Did I mention that Overgrow donated his Karma to vb3?

[talon3dhq]

Um, no...you forgot to mention that...

[intellected]

Originally posted by freddie

Wow. Overgrow wins!

Anyway, in that case, I have a (somewhat offtopic) suggestion for the future implementation of karma in vb3:

Option to replace thread rating with average karma
This is a very simple, but very useful, modification. Essentially, instead of using thread ratings, the script calculates the average karma per post in the thread, and displays that instead of rating.

A bit more smooth than using both karma and thread ratings at the same time.

[SaintDog]

Did he really? So it will be in vBulletin 3.0? (as an option or full feature?)

I would like to hear more if you would, freddie :)

[Ice Man_00]

I use PHP3 extension on my forum, is there a way to add this great hack to that ?? Just change all the php extension to php3 din`t work, so is there another way i can add this to my forum ??

Cheers.

[SaintDog]

One thing I would like to mention to Certify, you may wish to make an "Un-installer" for this hack as well. Some people may wish to remove it at some point and may not know what to remove, so this would help those people out a lot.

SaintDog

[AndyTSJ]

Big thanks bro for the hard work... I love this hack, works like a dream on my boards, and am killing myself waiting for the next release.

Thanks again ;)

Yes this is in. :)

It will be nice if vb3 comes intergrated with karma, I hope this is confirm.

[Ice Man_00]

Dump....

But since i now have changed from PHP3 to PHP i still can`t get it to work.. :( I`m trying to run the install.point.php and just get a blank white page. Any one who can help me out here ??

[Psychdrone]

hmm hey could you add the option, to add a certain amount of karma points, if the user, has # of referrals??

Great hack by the way!

[Psychdrone]

another thing that would be awsome man, is if you could make it like the hack User points, where it says Karam: whatever #

and like the user points hack, mods and admins, can click this and easily give them karma or subtract karam????

please:D

[certify]

Ok I will do it.

By the way I just seen how overgrows karma works and I get the general idea now.

[Abbas]

vB3 wont be released for a while, so thank certify to provide the functionality now.

One question- is it possible to "reset" the karm count to zero for all the users? We're thinking of having competitions every month and whoever has the highest karma points wins. So we need to reset the karma points to zero at the end of every month.

And how does the admin view the karma points of the users? The option in the control panel says "Add/Modify/View Points" but when you click you can add/modify...how do you view?

Thanks
Abbas

[certify]

Just use the search user option to view the users's karma points.

At the moment there is no option to reset karma. Probably we will add that in the future.

I`m using VBB 2.2.2, Version PHP 4 The Newest mySql database.. on a unix.

Thx for any help with this... :)

[Abbas]

Is there a way to list all the users sorted from highest to lowest through their Karma points?

Checking every user to see how many points they have could become very tiresome if you have 1000+ users.

Thanks
Abbas

when can we expexct the next release?

[certify]

Copy the source..... No way... :)

When should the next release? Today or tomorrow depends on how well we test it in our test forum.

I don't understand why do you need to change the extention to php3 since you are using php4?

[Ice Man_00]

nope.. not needed for that anymore.. but i am running the standard vbb of php now.. not php3. But when i try to install in, i get`s a white page. That`s all. So i just wanted to hear if it is something wrong with it or somwthing wrong with what i am trying to do.. he he

vbb 2.2 2. php extension - Server has php 4 and new. sql base

But still i get a white page when trying to install... :(

[Massiel]

I think I am missing something with this hack, I don't have all those options, just two and they are under general options. I don't have a karma link on the cp left panel! What did I do wrong?

I am also having a problem with some users. Their karma turns off by itself and we have tried to turn it back on but it won't go back on. Any ideas? Please help!

[Massiel]

Anybody?

[Reeve of shinra]

sounds like you didn't install the hack correctly. Copy the backups you made prior to installing the hack to reinstall it.

[kyrnel]

Is 1.1 available? Status?

thx

[Psychdrone]

patiantely waiting:)

[Massiel]

Actually I did not do it and other hacks have been installed after that one so I am not sure on what to do... :( What could be the reason for some users to be turned on and some to be turned off anyway?

If you installed hacks after you installed the Karma hack you may have over-written some of the karma hacks coding (which would render it not working). As far as it not being in the Admin CP, you may not have added the code for the link in admin/index.php.

Just on a side note to other users it is vB not vBB ;)

Still no answer to my question.... hmm... Is there somewhere else i can get help on this hack ?!?!?

[certify]

Sorry for taking so long for the next release, we found a bug and been working on it since yesterday. We believe we can complete the new release before next month with some addition features not mention here.

[certify]

Ice_man just wait for next week.

[Ice Man_00]

Okey, thx for the answer and i can`t wait to the next fixed version comes. Great !! :) :)

I think this hack should be has two functions:
1. User's point should be showed in post.
2. User's point should be control user to view post.
Exp.
When a user post a new thread or replay a thread,he can select a least point to view the post.

Eh? What would be the point of that? Only users with karma > 300 can read this thread? Seem like a cool, but useless function.

I would rather reverse it, like the slashdot karma system, i.e. display only "threads with postitive karma" or "display only threads with at leas 200" karma in the thread sorting. This would, of course, require that karma is tied to posts, not user, like with slashdot and the overgrow hack.

[epic]

I think only >=50 points enough.

Ok everything is done, now working on the upgrade script for those who install version1.0 :D

Tomorrow is the day..... Karma 1.2 release. We decided to skip 1.1 :) Don't ask. :D

[kushtiUK]

Cool - my members are really looking forward to this new update - this hack has certainly added a new eagerness to post. I guess it will stop the posters asking who has the most Karma now - LOL - Great hack and thank you.

[certify]

Karma 1.2 Release

[SaintDog]

I have it installed on a testing board and everything went smoothly on the install as well as the appearence, you did a good job, I have but a few suggestions that may make it look a little better though:

Note: These are only my personal suggestions.


1. The Pop Up Window

- If you could, I would make it follow the colors of the board, or in the least, the admin control panel colors, may make it look better than white.

- When typing in a comment for a user, I can hardly see the text I am typing in, you may want to make the text a little larger.

- I know this is fixable from plain sight, but the pop-up is overly large, a smaller box would look better imo.


2. The Postbit

- If you want to make it like overgrows hack, the images need to add on as the karma grows. Such as once a user hits 20 KP, there are 3 karma dots (admin should be able to set this). Right now I am only seeing 1 dots no matter what.

- When you click on the dot it is plural when there is 1 KP, maybe make it to where is say "user has 1 karma point" "user has 2 karma points" (just grammer ;)).


Just a few comments/suggestions to better the hack (from my personal view). I think you have done a great job so far with the hack and look to see future version of the hack when they are released.

Keep up the great work Certify!

[AndyTSJ]

The instructions here are all whacked...

1. Upload to your forums directory:

- adis.php

2. Upload to your forums/admin directory:

- install_point.php(for those that have installed vbkarma version1, please upload install_point2.php)
- kpoints.php

3. Upload to your forums/images directory:

- karmabalance.gif
- karmaneg.gif
- karmapos.gif
- postkarma.gif

2. Run /admin/install_point.php(run upgrade_karma_1_0.php if you have installed the previous version)

3. Delete /admin/install_karma.php

Steps 1-2-3-2-3 ?? And the install_point files aren't in the zip, and the install_karma file can't be deleted because the instructions don't say to upload it in the first place ?

I'm confused ?? :D:D

[pgowder]

I've installed it!! Works fine so far.

Suggestions for now...

I would like to be able to turn off comments about users's posts. I really don't want users commenting on each other, and I think some of my users will confuse it with the place to post info.

[SaintDog]

pgowder

If you do not want them to be able to post comments, just remove the link to it in the postbit, then they will not even know it is there :).

Is there a way to make the Karma button only useable by Mods and Admins?

I had some users really take offense at that part!

[Limpkinw]

I must be missing something.. I Can Not get this to install.

First I had to replace action=$script with action=install_point.php in the install file to even get it to run. Now I can run it, and it apepears to have worked. But karma doesnt show up anywhere in the forums.
Any advice appreciated!

yeah im wondering the same thing, Thanks much certify this is the hack ive been waiting for!

[Neil]

LOVE the hack! I have a problem and a couple of suggestions.

I have two different styles on my forum ( http://forum.gravitoncity.com ), and when I installed the hack I made sure I updated the templates for both styles. However, the hack only seems to work on the style that I've selected. There are no karma lights under usernames, no karma button under the posts, and no karma score under the username on the front page.

I wanted to re-run the install to make sure that I read all the instructions right, but I realised that I might wipe all the karma given already by creating the database tables again! *gulp* I'm not great with php or mysql, so I don't wanna screw it up hehe.

Can anyone help?

Suggestions:

More karma=more lights under the username. Let the admin set how many points = how many lights.

Apply the selected style to the karma rating box. It's just white at the moment. Also, I agree the text is too small and the box too big.

For some reason if i select positive karma and enter a comment, hitting enter resets the form rather than submitting it. It is habit for me to hit enter rather than click submit, so this is a bit annoying.

Have a list of preset comments that ppl can choose from if they cant be bothered writing a comment. The slashdot keywords (eg: Interesting, Toll, Funny, Flamebait, Informative, Redundant) might be a good start.

Show a karma rating for each post. We know the karma for the user, but not for their posts. Parhaps put it at the top next to where the post topic appears (if there is one).

I'd LOVE to be able to filter posts ala slashdot based on their karma.

Add a column to the memberlist page with their karma shown, and allow the list to be sorted by karma (as it can now be done with number of posts).

Allow a user to see all comments made to their posts, rather than having to go to each post. There could be a link in the user CP perhaps to a list of all comments, and the posts they're associated with. The karma for that post could also be listed there.

Ability for the admin to change the phrase in the popup box via the admin CP. I didn't like "Agree/Disagree" because that means something completely different from "good/bad" post. Someone might make a brilliantly written post that I don't agree with, but the wording would suggest that I should give them negative Karma. (I've hacked the adis file to change it on mine).

I like the previously mentioned idea of awarding karma for each referral. Would encourage more referrals.

Allow the admin to choose how much they give/take as extra on each post. Setting it in the CP is easy, but it means that all posts to be awarded must be awarded by the same ammount.

*phew* That's all I can think of for the moment. I hope I havn't been too demanding with these suggestions. I love the hack so far, and think that it can get even better. Use or ignore these as you see fit!

THANKS once again for the hack!

I know it probably here, but I read this 3 times through and cant find. Where do i modify and template and how?

I have installed as per instructions and do not see karma option under CP, nor anywhere on site.

Thank you!

[John Lindsey]

The mistake I did on my first install is that I just clicked on the buttons, thinking the modifcations to the various files were being done automatically. Then, when nothing showed, I did it again, but pasted in the required stuff to the files.

Everything shows now, but I get an error message when I try to post a new message or reply:

No forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

Any idea what I messed up to get this?

BTW, I am running versions 2.2.1

[Overgrow]

You can use my hack's format and features but please make your own GIF images. That way we can at least tell that it is a different 'karma' hack that the forum is running. A new name wouldn't hurt either to keep confusion down since the feature set is still quite different.

ps. Haven't you got people turbo posting blank replies for karma yet?

[Neil]

Here are some replacement "karma" dot images I just made. I hope they're different enough from Overgrow's. I have the photoshop file I made them from if that would help prove it.

[Overgrow]

Thanks Neil ;) Not as different as I'd hoped but certainly enough for me. I did notice that they're not displaying karma with those GIFs on each post so it is easy to tell the hacks apart right now.

[Neil]

Is anyone able to help me with the problem of Karma only accessible from one of my styles, as I requested in an earlier post please?

[AndyTSJ]

When you installed it, presumable you applied the modifications to the templates in your default style ? Then reapply the template parts of the hack to the same templates, but in your other styles... that's my guess.

[Neil]

As far as I recall, I was careful to apply any template mods to ALL of the templates used on my site. Besides, the functions that display the karma totals and the karma button are defined in the script, rather than the template right?

Also, I can't go back and apply the changes in the template anyway, because the instructions are in the install file, and if I run that again it'll stuff up the database, won't it?

[Winky]

ok maybe I am stupid here but the install text says nothing and the install script says nothing when doing the install does the install do everything for you or is it just telling you what you need to modify? I tried both ways and nothing works for me.

[kushtiUK]

I have VBportals and would like to add a Side Block to show my top five with Karma, can anyone tell me the PHP I would need to call that up.

If this helps, I already have on show the top five posters and the PHP used is;

// Set this to the max number top posters to display
$a=1;
$num = 5;
global $bburl;
$query = "SELECT * FROM user ORDER BY posts DESC LIMIT $num";
$resultlatest = mysql_query($query);
while ($latest_array = mysql_fetch_array($resultlatest)) {
echo " <font size = 1>&nbsp;$a: <A HREF='$bburl/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$latest_array[userid]'>$latest_array[username] </A> $latest_array[posts]</FONT><BR>";
$a++;

One 'gotcha' I ran into is trying to see a result on my forums after upgrading from v1 to v1.2 without going to the admin cp and setting the new options first!!!...I know....duh...

[HeadStAtE!]

Thank you for this hack.

Currently I have 3 main concerns.

1) I think a template should be used for the content of the pop-up box rather than holding all this within adis.php.

2) adis.php is checking for the user's title:
if ($usertitle == 'Administrator' || $usertitle == 'Moderator') This is dangerous because the user title can be changed in the user CP, it should be checking for the usergroup being either a moderator, super moderator or admin.

3) By refreshing pages (or using the back button) I have been able to vote more than once.

Niggles:

1) The button alt image in postbits has the spelling "karna" not "karma" :)

2) It waits for you to enter a comment then tells you that you should log in first!

3) You can submit a comment without selecting a positive or negative opinion.

[pgowder]

Can anyone help me display the top 10 or display the karma in memberlist??

My members are loving the hack, but want to be able to see who is the highest!

Great to hear you're on top oc it certify! Can't wait to see the next version. Got a couple more points.

A user had the brilliant suggestion. Karma can can be reduced with time. The admin can set the rate (egL 1pt per month to 10 per day etc). This would encourage people to keep coming back, keep posting good posts, and give newcomers a chance to get as much karma as the old-time regulars. It would also mean that there may not be the same 5 people with the most karma.

I noticed a problem which I don't know if it is a bug or a limitation of the script. When typing a "?" in the comment field, the database rejects the entry. I'm not sure if this happens with other special characters. At the very least, the popup should have a list of invalid characters.

I still havn't figured out why the hack is only working on one of my styles! It's unfortunate because some of my users are unable to see the hack at all!! Can anyone help? (please read my previous posts for details).

[certify]

I will look into the problem with the styles and the invalid character.

Will be release in April 2002. ;) If you have any features to suggest or recommendation please post a NEW thread in my forum (http://www.certifyexpress.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&forumid=358) instead of vbulletin.org, so I can keep track of all the suggestions and as this thread is getting too long and I can't keep up with it.

[orca]

The upgrade from 1.0 to 1.3 went very well. Good work I like the hack. Anyway, if I click on karma and want to add a comment using the link It says You need to be registered.... although I'm registered. I removed the line which say include header/footer. But as that are only HTML files it shouldn't be a problem.

Don't run run upgrade_karma_1_0.php

This is what you have to do.

For those that are upgrading from version 1.2 to 1.3, upload adis.php and kpoints.php. Change the following lines in your postbit template.

(a)find this line of code:
winAtt = "scrollbars=1, width=900, height=500, left=5";
replace it with:
winAtt = "scrollbars=1, width=500, height=300, left=5";

(b)find this line of code:
<a href="javascript:popout('adis.php?flag=$post[flag]&postid=$post[postid]&userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]&username=$bbuserinfo[username]&usertitle=$bbuserinfo[usertitle]&post_userid=$post[userid]&post_username=$post[username]')"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vbimages/postkarma.gif" border="0" alt="Karna"></a>

Thanks to www.devshed.com!

$my_q = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

list($username) = mysql_fetch_row($my_q2);
print "$username has $total points<br>";
mysql_free_result($my_q2);
}

All the fields have to be not null.

[pgowder]

When I view a record in the storepoint table and add up the fields myself, I get different total that what you are displaying????

[kushtiUK]

Pgowder - thanks for this but it does not seem to work - all I get is a list of ten users, that are not the top ten and it does not display the total points but just says - "kushtiuk has points"

Any idea's - has anyone else got this working?

[pgowder]

All the fields have to be not null and have a default value of 0.

[ExcErr]

hey certify, can you and your team make some features:
1. user can give karma points to the same user only once a week !
2. near username in the comment window should stay + or -............
3. if user don't want to show his name in the comment, he can choose some option and his name won't be able to see.....
for example:
"+"|"excerr": Good post
"-" | "******": F*ck off
4. user can see comments about him in user cp under "Subscribed Threads"
5. admin can delete user comments, if there are for exampe censored words !
thx in advance!
THE BEST HACK! respect

I'm sorry I don't fully inderstand! Do I ahve to make a new sql table for this to gather the data and if so what is it called?

I understand about making the default value of 0 and null.

[pgowder]

All the fields in the storepoint table must be not null and default to 0 otherwise a calculation on a null fields wll not work.

[kushtiUK]

alright! I understand now - doh! LOL -= thanks m8

[pgowder]

Certify can you help me with why my query gets different results than what your hack displays?

[pgowder]

I want to also say a special thanks to Certify for this hack. My posts went from 700 for the week before Karma to 1800 for the first week with Karma!

Thanks!

]How do I make the karma points to NOT increase when users post in forums which do not increase post counts, I need the modification for that quite urgently, I hope someone can help (it may be asked and answered before in this longgg thread, but it's 12am here and I'm tired to read all those pages of text :))

[Inferno]

Great hack but when I click on the 'Add Karma' button, I get this message:

You are required to login/register before you can add karma!

I am logged in and registered and I can add points OK it's just that this function doesn't work.

Can anyone help please? :)

Thanks

[GraphicW]

Inferno,

Here is the help you need. First I will explain the cause of the problem:

The instructions give wrong information on how to place the Karma image link. The result is that the script is not sent sufficient information ($usertitle) causing a null result to be sent. The result is that to adis.php, you appear not to be registered.

Enough talk now, here is the fix:

Thanks GraphicW, that worked brilliantly, you are a hero :)

[certify]

Thanks GraphicW for the pointing out bug fix. :)

Version 1.5 is on the way and should be done next month. :)

[kyrnel]

I just installed last night and everything works great except for one minor issue.
The primary admininstrator can see the Add/Remove Karma section of the popup window (when you click on the Karma button) and so can the moderators but the additional admins cannot see it, they see the same thing as a regular user..
this is very strange..
Do you think it is related to the issue that Inferno posted about?

thx

[Webmasta XT]

I get this error


Warning: Failed opening 'http://www.xtreme-forumz.cc/header.html' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site11/fst/var/www/html/adis.php on line 10


where the hell is the stupid header file?
or the footer?

[Inferno]

You need to create and upload the header.html and footer.html files yourself and specify the destination correctly in the relevant parts of adis.php.

Sorry if that is not what you meant :)

[Erwin]

I love this hack! :D

[Erwin]

One thing about this hack - once you have added karma to a post, you can still do it again until you refresh the thread. The $flag variable remains "0" until the thread is refreshed.

[pgowder]

How can I set the Karma to be add to a user for reading posts.

[Martyjp]

Great hack, simple to follow instructions works fine but

The permissions for the extra Admin options are given to usergroup 6 (admins) and the moderator(s) of the forum - if a moderator is not the designated mod for the forum that the post is in, the extra Admin options won't be available. You can change this by changing the relevant Adis.php bits.

[Mutt]

I like the hack but does anybody know what kind of load it adds? it seems like alot of querries.

[dgessler]

Certify: On you site I noticed the karma number on your message board shows up under every post by your members, is this possible to do with the distribution in the zip?

I'd appreciate anyone's input on this :)


Thanks,
Dan

[hypedave]

just installed this hack on 2.2.4 no problems yet
thankyou for sharing this harck with us

There is an option on the admin cp whenever you want to use images, text or nothing.

[dgessler]

Oh, ok. That's odd, I changed it to make it image and in text and neither worked on my board, but the other stuff seems to be working fine. I wouldn't need to add a profile field for this, would I? I edited all the templates as the installation required (took me a good amount of time), but under a post, nothing comes up besides location, posts, etc. Any suggestions? The board is www.dnforum.com , thanks.


Dan Gessler

[JulianD]

Are you sure you got all the templates modified? Specially the postbit template?

[Erwin]

Can't wait for the next update... :) My members are loving it!

[Erwin]

Another thing: Does anyone have any idea how to display the top 10 users with the most karma points on the forum home page? I saw instructions for something similar in this thread, but it did not seem to work.

[The Realist]

Problem:

I have not sorted out the header and footer yet but when ever I click to add karma it says this:

You are required to login/register before you can add karma!

Any help?

Brian :)

[The Realist]

Found txt file to solve the above in post No 186.

Thanks.

[Shanti Tsun]

What does Level, Activity, Popularity, and Experience mean? How/when are they changed?

[Erwin]

The Karma hack has got nothing to do with that. You are asking about the wrong hack - that is the Stats Level Hack by Knoman - do a search on the forums and you will find more info about that.

[The Realist]

How can members see who gave them karma? is there a hack to show this.

[Erwin]

You give karma points for a member's specific post by clicking on the karma button. Click the karma button again, and you should see the users who have given karma for that post.

[squawell]

any possible give points only for some forum and admin can set the forumid in control panel which forum user post posts can get the points??

any idea??

Enough talk now, here is the fix:

I tried this fix because I also had the "not logged in" problem, but the fix did not correct it. Could it be related to my custom user titles? :surprised:

[htmlforums]

This is actually pretty strange, when I am logged in as an administrator I can't even click the "Add Karma" button on adis.php (nothing happens when the button is clicked). When I logged in as a member it simply was the "not logged in error". Again, this is with the following fix:

Find the in your postbit template:

<a href="newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/quote.gif" border="0" alt="Reply w/Quote"></a>

Under it, place this code:

<a href="javascript:popout('adis.php?flag=$post[flag]&postid=$post[postid]&userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]&username=$bbuserinfo[username]&usergroup=$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]&usertitle=$bbuserinfo[usertitle]&post_userid=$post[userid]&post_username=$post[username]')"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/postkarma.gif" border="0" alt="Karna"></a>

(tiny side note, your alt tag says "karna" not "karma")

[htmlforums]

What I CAN do is add points as an admin wit the bottom half of the form.

[pgowder]

Can you combine this hack with the karma:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36592&highlight=views+hack

It would be great to give users points for viewing as well.

[trainer]

is this a stable release?

[alanvo]

i think a vbhacker for this is good!!!

[trainer]

how did you get it to show "Points: 26" in your postbit?

right now mine is stuck with karma: and i want it to read points:

thanks

[pgowder]

Make sure that you go into the CP and set the karma equal to a word or an image.

[pgowder]

Can someone help me with a problem.

The karma points displayed in the postbit are different than the total points if I add them by hand.

My users love getting thier karma and they are about to revolt because thier karma isn't showing up right!!

Thanks

[hypedave]

im getting the following errors, I have created the html files and upoaded them

also when I try to add a karma it tells me i need to login
adn im already logged in

[Rcooper]

What a great addition to my board!

An Idea,
how about making it so if a user does not log (or post) in with in X amount of days they loos X amount of Karma?

What do you guys think? this will give users to another reason to check in" more oftin!

Just a idea!

Thanks for this great hack!

[pgowder]

That's a great idea.

[everwicked]

Could someone port it to VB 2.2.5?

Adis.php is having a hard time with it, I can post the errors if needed

[everwicked]

Oh and how can I calculate the points the users have at the moment?

to make clear, I have installed Karma just now whilst the board is there for about 4 months..

You may wish to post in his forum, as he noted in the first post. You will be able to obtain support for it there, at least more than you would here at this time. Most of the developers for this hack are at his board also, so you would probably be able to get mroe help there.

Whenever I tried to reach his site, the domain was down.

I discovered it was just a copy-paste error in my templates though.

I had this problem and the fix worked perfectly, big thanks! :)

I still have another problem that consists on adding new users on Admin CP..

When i do a Add User i get these three errors:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/pjpg/public_html/cwpt/admin/user.php on line 101

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/pjpg/public_html/cwpt/admin/user.php on line 115

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/pjpg/public_html/cwpt/admin/user.php on line 118

I'm using VBulletin 2.5.5... the rest seems to work fine :cheeky:

Can anyone help me please? :classic:

BTW: the lines of user.php are:

$numrows_gettotal = mysql_num_rows($gettotalpoint);
$numrows_getagree = mysql_num_rows($getagree);
$numrows_getdis = mysql_num_rows($getdis);

[dinozz]

i've the same problem. Moreover i've another problem:
in the posts page, where are the author data, doesn't appear the number of the total points near the writing "karma"
the lines of template postbit are:
Location: $post[field2]<br>
Posts: $post[posts]<br>
Karma: $totalpoint

[clangrounds.com]

I dunno how I managed to do this, but it seems no one can add karma to anyone in any thread. It says:

"You are required to login/register before you can add karma!"

We're logged in and it still says that....

where is the header.html file that adis is supposed to point to?

[lazzy]

AAAAHHHHH the karma button open up a window with a bunch of header, footer errors, where are they??? im runnen board v 2.2.5 and i searched HIGH and LOW for ANY file that had a .html extention but um...DIDNT FIND ANY, and there are no footer/header php files either!!! anyone want to help a newbie at telling him where he might find the header/footer html files, or what i should put in their place?

[Erwin]

You are meant to make your own. Just look at your "header" and "footer" templates, and copy the code into a "header.html" and "footer.html" file, and upload those to your forum directory. There are easier ways of doing this, but the author of this hack is assuming you would do it this way.

[lazzy]

whats the easy way????? and i have to take out all the php code right?

[Brad]

after installing the fix i get this beside the karma button &post_userid=95&post_username=Anime-loo')">


before the button was fine and i could click it, now (needless to say) the java wont pop up cause of the broken link, also my images to disply the amount of karma are not coming up, help me :)

You may wish to visit his board as he mentioned in his first post. It mentions he will try to provide support here, but he is not the only developer within the project. As posted above, try his forums you may be able to obtain more support/help than you would here (at least at this time).

karma doesn't work...when i try to add points to the user, it just reload KARMA PAGE(java window) and poinst didn't add!

Are you still taking suggestions at your site?

I tried the link, but got invalid forum??

I'd like to modify the hack so that posts in some forums were worth more. I'm getting an increase in posts, but most in my Chat forum.

I'd like to create more discussion in the other subject areas.

Thanks

[99SIVTEC]

Thank you for this hack. I changed it to Horsepower instead of karma since I run a car board. I need to change a few more things as I go, but you can see a working copy at www.haiparts.com/vbulletin/

[DoMiN8ToR]

Hmmm running it now at http://club.cdfreaks.com 15.000+ daily visitors 16.000+ members, I wonder how the load will be when it's fully active, but for now it doesn't increase much...

Great hack, hope our users will also enjoy it !

[aidler]

OK I'm lost.

I'm geting the following error

If anybody could help me I would appreciate it very much.

BTW: I noticed that the files adis.php and kpoints.php are totally screwed up. They don't make any sense to me.

[firewars]

This hack is too complicated and too much timetaking when installing it as well as not working - although it was installed correctly.

It could be done much simplier.
However, good work, if it works, which it doesn't here.

I tried installign the hack but it won't work for me. Will someone please install it for me? I'm willing to pay a small fee. PM me or contact in this thread. Thanks.
