Remember the initial settings are identical to the hard coded settings so you won't notice any changes until you change the settings. If that's not the case I don't understand what the problem is as everyone should be getting the same page data, as the rewritten fetch_reputation_image function will be in use from the moment you uploaded the changed code. So then the only thing I can think of is you're somehow seeing cached pages.

I changed the settings so it should show up for everyone, I bet I'm looking at chached images. Will get back to you on this.

I got it! It's the old real reputable members. I just need to "up" the points for reputation upgrades and it should work. It works fine with the new members.

Man, that's just the mod I was looking for! Thanks!!

I'm guessing it'll mirror the same values for the negative numbers? I installed the mod (in about 3 minutes) and I really like the feature, but is there a way to set a negative number when I "Add New Reputation Gem Level"? The minimum I can go is 0.

I deliberately made it not allow you to enter negative numbers so that the negative levels mirror the positive ones. I'll write a patch to allow you to set the negative levels too.

Man, that is great - I was just getting ready to redo my rep levels so they would match up with the gems.

You are truly one of the good ones Boozehound... I'm buying you a brewery when I win that powerball!

Ok here is an updated installation.txt for the variation of this hack where you can enter negative values (that do not necessarily mirror the positive values). If you've already installed, just replace the code you added to admincp/adminreputations.php and includes/functions_reputation.php with the code in this txt file. You will then need to add the negative levels through the admincp page (I didn't update the installer to add default negative levels).

This is part of what I'm looking for...Is there any way to change the "gems" to other pictures?

For example, I run an american football board -- is there any way to have the negative rep things show as "yellow flags" or whistles, and the others show as footballs, field-goal posts/uprights or as lombardis?

I am just doing a little bit of looking into things so that I know what I can do...

The images themselves are located in /forums/images/reputation/

(reputation_pos.gif for example for th egreen dot)

If it was me, I would think the easiest way would be to just rename your images to what the gif files that are located in that directory are called.

That way you don't have to do any template or code modding.

Thanks sim, I had just figured that out & hadn't gotten back over here to post yet! :) Thanks for your help though!
