Reputation Bar for users with huge loads of the green

[vbmechanic]

As the reputation system matures, you will find users quickly hitting the current limit of 1500 reputation points. You should start scaling back the numbers at that point in the admin Cpanel so that it is not distributed so quickly, but it is also useful to have the possibility of more than 1500 points.

Purpose: Remove the current limit of 1500 points and replace the dots with a solid bar of Reputation for users over 1500.

Modifications: 3 additions to functions_showthread.php and 3 new gifs.

Install Time: 10 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Screenshot attached of a user with 3800 reputation points!

cheers,

does this work on rc2 :$

[vbmechanic]

Sure, should work on any version with Reputation.

[msimplay]

if ($reputation_value > 500)
{ // bright green bars take 200 pts not the normal 100
$reputation_value = ($reputation_value - ($reputation_value - 500)) + (($reputation_value - 500) / 2);
}

$reputationbars = intval($reputation_value / 100); // award 1 reputation bar for every 100 points


i couldn't find the above in the functions_showthread in rc2
its the last step of the hack

[vbmechanic]

There is a problem with the spacing that you showed in the code box above. I checked it with the zip file and it does not match.. so check again-- it's just a spacing issue that is preventing you from finding this string:

if ($reputation_value > 500)
{ // bright green bars take 200 pts not the normal 100
$reputation_value = ($reputation_value - ($reputation_value - 500)) + (($reputation_value - 500) / 2);
}

$reputationbars = intval($reputation_value / 100); // award 1 reputation bar for every 100 points

Thanks, let me know if you get it.

[msimplay]

i'll try again tomorrow am too tired to be hacking thats probably why i'm making mistakes

[Rampag33]

Oh thanks that was getting a lil annoying on my forum.

[gamevn]

Nice mod,i will install it now
thz for sharing

[gmarik]

Could you make it so, it converts all the reputation in a five star hack?
I mean no 10 000 and 20 000 point, but, for example, 2,4 point user ...

[vbmechanic]

Sorry, I don't fully understand.

You would like users to have between 1 and 5 stars-- instead of reputation points?

What would the upper limit be?

1 star = 0 to 500 points
2 stars = 501 to 1500 points

etc etc ?

There would be a limit of 5 stars of course.

[rinkrat]

How about going even higher with bronze then silver then gold bars?

[rookie7]

I like rinkrat's idea too. Can you please extend your hack so it'd do that?

Thanks.

Is it expected behavior for a person with a large negative reputation to also get the green bar?

Otherwise it works great.

[TWTCommish]

Problem.

Large negative, as in -1912.

[dutchbb]

Great hack bro, installed it!

[TWTCommish]

Anyone else having the same problem I am?

[Dan]

[mekimirme]

yea us too

[Club3G]

We applied the hack and our green bars and all seperated and hacked up. Any ideas?

[Borgs8472]

Bar is hacked out here too ... would really love to use this one!

[dano]

I want to install this, but want to make sure this issue is fixed. Bump for the creator.

I just installed this and love it.

At first, I had the same problem as TWTCommish and (possibly) Club3G and I thought the instructions missed something, but after re-reading them, it seems like it's just something that may be easily overlooked.

Where it reads:

***** Below:

eval('$post[\'reputationdisplay\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_reputation') . '";');
}

***** Add:

// Reputation Bar Hack -- START

if ($post['reputation'] > 1500) {
$post['reputationdisplay'] .= "<img src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_reputation]/reputation_endright.gif\" border=\"0\" />";
}

// Reputation Bar Hack -- END

Perhaps some better wording would be:

***** Below:

eval('$post[\'reputationdisplay\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_reputation') . '";');

}

***** Add BELOW:

// Reputation Bar Hack -- START

if ($post['reputation'] > 1500) {
$post['reputationdisplay'] .= "<img src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_reputation]/reputation_endright.gif\" border=\"0\" />";
}

// Reputation Bar Hack -- END

The curly brace is easily lost because in the text file, it's indented way over to the right. It makes all the difference in the world. ;)

[dutchbb]

this was a great hack for us... but now even the bar is getting too long for some members :D:D

Is it possible to make for example a blue or gold bar for users with more then 5000 or 6000 points? :)

[Paul M]

You could try this alternative ;

[dutchbb]

Thanks, but a complete new bar would make it shorter instead longer :)

[Smitty]

Anyone know of anything like this for 3.7.2?
