Extended Reputation Display

[Paul M]

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This hack extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then golden stars as the pips limit is reached.

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by 'golden' pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the display is prefixed by a golden Star, and started again. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and stars.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of stars in unlimited. The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings in the vboptions > reputation options. The supplied default values will display 5 dark green, 5 light green and 10 golden pips before a star is displayed. The golden pips kick in at 2,000 points and it takes 10,000 points to get a star (so 20,000 for two etc ...). A line break can be inserted after the stars.

The extended display system can be enabled/disabled in the options.

Just follow the install instructions in the zip file to install this product.

Great work might use this :nervous:

[Evil X]

what is the tag to display rep images?

I have customized my postbit, and accidently removed what ever tag displays the images...

can you tell me what I add to display the images...

I want the images to be separate, from the giving of rep

[Daniel]

Great hack, will use when I enable reputation system again!

[LittleBoy1]

Great hack!! :urule:

xD

[Moncal]

Great hack. I'm going to install it just as soon as I get vB 3.5 installed.

[Paul M]

...... just as soon as I get vB 3.5 installed.LOL, that bit always helps :)

[dutchbb]

Great i've been waiting for this :D

[Paul M]

Thanks for the hack, keep up the good work! :)

[KimmiKat]

I tried it out, but I get this "KimmiKat has a brilliant future" over and over instead of the rep images. Messing with the postbit template didn't fix it.

[Paul M]

You haven't uploaded the gif images into the correct folder.

[KimmiKat]

They were uploaded, but I found the problem, a couple of my styles use a different directory and I forgot to add those to those directories. They now work. Thanks.

[dfdems]

I use the default style, I have uploaded to images/reputauion and the one green dot that shows has that location as the image location.

Am I missing something cause it still isnt working. How to check where the default theme is pulling from?

[Paul M]

Sorry, what exactly is your problem ?

[dfdems]

Sorry, I have uploaded everything but the reputation is stuck at one green dot regardless of rep or how low I set the scoring system.

Someone else on here mentioned they had the same problem a found a fix.

[Paul M]

Sorry but I don't see how that's possible, you are changing the right settings ? (see attached).

[Dream]

pretty cool, thanks for sharing

[dfdems]

My settings are right. I have installed and uninstalled 3 times. I did get it to work by creating a user and setting the rep to 9999 and it worked. I am thinking something didn’t transfer over on my import or I have the values set to high that it doesn’t show for a single user other than the fictional one I created.

Having said that, I apologize, I thought it was your hack, turns out it is on my end.

Thanks for taking the time to try and help me out though

[dano]

Is there a way to make the high value dots or stars appear UNDER the others instead of OVER? I actually made a different colorad dot rather than the gold stars and I would like to have them show on the bottom rather than the top. I would also like the members to keep their 10 gold dots and then move on to the new dots under. It seems the way its set right now that if you hit the 10 golds, they defalut back to 5 golds and a gold star.

[Paul M]

You cannot do this without re-writing a large part of it.

[devguru]

it works very well for me,pretty cool, thanks for sharing

[Watson]

I used a similar version that you wrote before Paul, where I only use 6 Stars, and also a Negative Image, Which doesn't actually add more images, Its just 1 Image (a poo)

Anyway, I am looking to put this into this hack, but I am not sure if I would be able to. Again I just want it so that it stops at 6 Stars, and people get stars in this way

1 Star = 0-500
2 Star = 501-1000
3 Star = 1001 - 2500
4 Star = 2501 - 5000
5 Star = 5001 - 10000
6 Star = 10001 +

Any help would be great

regards

Watson

[Paul M]

You should be able to do that by editing the appropiate settings, which are now in the ACP, and uploading your custom images with the correct names.

[Watson]

Cheers Paul, will give it a bash right after my upgrade :)

Just wanted to check on that 1st :)

[Watson]

Just went to give someone some reputation there and when I click the rep button it just takes me to the top of the page after installing this hack :(

[Watson]

Still having this reputation problem, if anyone can help me out :)

[Watson]

It was when I installed this hack it stopped working. But I will look elsewhere then

[ombossman]

@ What is wrong i dont understand please help me install you hack but i dont see
reputation pic i send it your pm my site acp accaunt if possible check please
tnx advance

[Paul M]

I have looked at your site and there is nothing wrong.

The only 'problem' I see is that all your users (except two) have a reputation of 30 or less, of those remaining two, one has a rep of 60, and the other (Telefoncu) of 1010. Therefore you are not going to see much displayed (one green pip in fact). I have edited the administrators rep to 3000 so you can see. :)

[lazytown]

Is there any way to make the yellow stars appear in addition to the bars (just like the yellow bars do) instead of having the bars start over again?

thanks -vissa

Not without a bit of re-writing of the code. Why do you want to - it will make the display static once you got a star, until you had enough to get another star (i.e doubled your reputation).

[lsgworldl]

is it working right looks the same as standard to me???

Erm, exactly how many of you members have a reputation of more than 1,500 then ?

none I just made the forum a few days ago and I am now modding it, was just worried I didt install it right coz I am retarded lol :ninja:

[lazytown]

It's confusing a lot of my users (with their normal reps appearing to go down), but I don't care this is better. :)

[Paul M]

[lazytown]

What is the maximum number of stars? I already have users with 4 stars so I want to limit it at 5 or 6.

-vissa

[Paul M]

There is no maximum.

[rb290]

thanks, but could you add more, like how there is only 3, could you add a few more cause i got some images i wanna use for this

[Paul M]

[rb290]

how do the negatives work ?
the red pips i mean
how many negative points do you get for each pip etc

[Paul M]

Read the first post .......

[mfizzel]

a quick question ( not sure if it's been asked )

so when you get a star the process starts over, at this time do your pips start over and you go back to 1 green?

[Paul M]

so when you get a star the process starts over, at this time do your pips start over and you go back to 1 green?Yes.

[AWI]

I get a database error when uploading this product/hack (3.5.2)

[AWI]

Problem fixed....works great. Thanks

[Tommy Gun]

Just installed, so simple! Love it, thanks! I'll be changing the images, though, since they're made for a white background and I have both light and dark. Doesn't anyone use transparency anymore?

Okay, I just made new images. They don't have rounded corners (so any background will work fine, although the border is still black), and instead of gold I did a brighter green. So it's just a series of green, and I like them.

I have attached them to this post if anyone wants them. They are named the same, so you can simply overwrite your old ones. I did not include new "stars" because I'm going to use yo-yos, as it's a yo-yo forum. :)

Obviously the names don't make sense anymore, since "gold" is actually green. Paul M, maybe in future versions you'll name them something generic, like "pip-1," pip-2," etc. and "large-pip," or something like that. If you'd like to include these pips that I made in your zip as an alternative, feel free.

Thanks again!

[Paul M]

The stars have a transparant background - I didn't realise the pips did not, I'll look into that when I have a spare moment. As for the names - the point of this was to add the golden pips, so I'm not going to change the names. :)

[Tommy Gun]

As for the names - the point of this was to add the golden pips, so I'm not going to change the names. :)
Well I thought the point of it was to give way more options as well as adding larger pips (stars)--that's why I installed it. No one is really using the reputation system on my forum because everyone still has one pip under the default system. With this mod I can set it way lower so people can see what's happening, and then scale the settings later.

[Megareus Rex]

Is there a way to change the rep value of each pip, and star? Some of my users have a LOT of rep, so there's 10+ stars on a few of them.

[Paul M]

Yes, alter the hacks settings in the ACP.

The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings in the vboptions > reputation options.

[Megareus Rex]

Yes, alter the hacks settings in the ACP.

Thanks, but I have another problem.

In the user CP, the rep display still uses the reputation_pos, _balance, and _neg.gif, so it ends up not displaying them properly.

How do I fix it so it uses the newly-named rep images? I havent been able to figure it out.

[Paul M]

This is not designed to affect the images in the usercp, you should not remove the old images as that display still uses them, just upload the new ones.

[nathanaus]

Hi there. Great extention. I used the one you did for 3.0.x for ages.

Quick question for you if I can.

In the xml file, if I change this:

$repa = 'green';
$repb = 'greenh';
$repc = 'gold';
$repx = 'goldstar';

To this:

$repa = 'green';
$repb = 'greenh';
$repc = 'gold';
$repx = 'goldorb';

The make sure I have file called reputation_goldorb.gif uploaded. Will that work? Same for the reds, if I change it to redorb (orb being an example) will they work or is there more that needs to be done?

I'm not very familiar with the new plugins etc that 3.5 has.

Thank you

[Paul M]

[nathanaus]

Great :) thanks

Although I suppose the name of the file is ultimately irrelevant if you simply change the image the gif file looks at.

Thanks for the quick response though :)

[cecdah]

Great! *installed*

[becafuel]

Installed !

[mmmender]

great hack, installed.

[mmmender]

ok, i'm having a problem.....as soon as someone gave me rep for installing the hack i went into the red again. i was only able to correct the problem by rebuilding the rep again. i obviously don't want to have to keep doing that. HELP?

[Paul M]

This cannot effect your actual reputation, only display it.

[mmmender]

ok, i understand that.....but why does it keep going into all red pips again as soon as someone sends me positive rep? then, when i go into the admin cp and rebuild the rep everything looks fine again?? perhaps you could do me a fave and contact me via email to arrange you having a look at my site and my control panel? i would really appreciate it. i want this hack to work because it's extremely useful on my site as our rep numbers are really high.

[Paul M]

Drop me an e-mail via this link.

[mmmender]

thanks, paul......check your email for my message.

[Paul M]

Your problem is nothing to do with this hack - you have hit a vbulletin limitation.

Your reputation is 2,147,483,647 - this is the maximum value that the database field that stores the reputation value can hold - if you add any more to it, the field overflows and flips to being a very large negative number.

I notice you have 3.5.0 installed - in later versions (3.5.4 ?) a check was added that stops the overflow - instead the value stays at 2,147,483,647.

[Matt_270581]

thanks, but could you add more, like how there is only 3, could you add a few more cause i got some images i wanna use for this


Your not rethinking this are you Paul? I'd be happy to pay for an add on to this hack.

My Stars are getting huge lol. I'd like to be able to add a higher level with another image. ;). Like I got 20 stars. If I went and increased the Stars value all my members would be like ":( I lost my stars" lol.

Also, the stars stop at 20. No more get added after that. Is that by design?

[Paul M]

There is no built-in limit to the number of stars.

More levels could be added, but obviously it would require more code and images. I have no plans for this as the most stars any of our members have is two.

[Renae]

THANK YOU!

This is exactly what I have been searching for. I hadn't been able to find it till just now. I must not be good at searching for things. I have been wanting something like this for months. My members have completely taken to the reputation system, and I needed more pips an extended display.

Thank you so much!

[Paul M]

Glad you like it. :)

Thankyou very much, Paul. :)

[NeutralizeR]

I've just installed this hack on vB 3.6 RC 3 and looks like it's working.

Can you please confirm me, Paul?

Thanks.

[Paul M]

There's no reason it shouldn't.

Since I've been on Holiday I don't have RC3 installed anywhere atm.

[LILMORA4]

Question; does this hack need to be installed thru an FTP server?

There are some images files you should upload to your forum/images folder.

How strange, that's being caused by a rogue entry in the product xml file. I'm amazed it's never shown up before.

There is nothing I can do about it atm as I'm at work. I'll upload a fixed file later today.

Edit: New file now uploaded.
