OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH thanks :)

compatible with VB v3.7.1 too, works great!

Brilliant as usual! Installed.

Marked and Installed! Excellent Mod!

Thank You!

I did everything you said correctly, but it doesn't show any of the reputation images.

Why is that? =/

How could I possibly know that ?

The only answer I can give is that you have missed something.

I'm in the same boat.

I uploaded the images to images/reputation and imported the XML.

Turned it on in the vBoptions but images do not display.

Using vB 3.7.1 Patch Level 2

EDIT:
I know why, its because I am using a custom style and the style gets its reputation images from its own directory.

/vb/ambience/reputation

How do I work around this?

Just put the new images in that directory.

good one, thanks

One thing though.

It seems as though the gold and bronze stars are mixed up, it was displaying gold stars when it should have been only displaying bronze ones. I had to change the file names of the gifs to get it to display proper.

Other than that good mod dude, cheers.

excellent thank s

My members are starting to hit the Golden stars and they were wondering what happens afterwards... is there any possibility of extending the stars further somehow?

There are three levels of stars already, there is no chance of any more. I suggest you change the values.

Paul,

Regarding the need for additional star levels... I think I have a solution. Perhaps everything should be on a "scale". For example, suppose you were to rank all users by how many "rep" points they have.

Those in the bottom 25% (with the lowest rep) would get 0 stars. 25-50 would get bronze, 50-75 would get silver and 75-100 would get gold.

Within those levels, the higher up you were, the more stars you'd have. So if you were like the 49th percentile than you would have a row of maybe 8 bronze stars whereas someone with 26 percentile would only have 1 bronze star.

This way, there is a CEILING of reputation. The top user with the MOST rep will have all gold stars and a "scale" will be built around them... with them being the 100th percentile.

There are a bunch of ways to handle this but I just wanted to share this concept with you. Because, anyone who has a forum with some age will eventually have a ton of people with tons of stars and the novelty will kind of "wear off" - or could at least.

This way, you have an ever changing dynamic system for displaying rep that will never get old regardless of how many rep points any one person achieves. I had thought about installing your mod but I know I will run into the same problem as everyone else... and then if you fix it you have to explain to all your members why their hard earned stars have disappeared!

Also, I'd love to see screen shots in your first post. Other than that really... job well done. I'm just offering some ideas and in no way intend to criticize as I think you've done a beautiful job!

awesome mod, but any chance of an option for cumulative stars, so it shows dark green, light green and yellow as well as the stars? Right now it seems to show dark green and light green and the stars if someone has a lot of rep, and seems to skip the yellow gems.

It does not skip the yellow.

Not sure what else you mean, but either way no changes are planned to this.

Can you add counts for negatives as well? I'm not sure what the cause is, but I setup my "ticks" so that they're borderless so that it's a solid bar. It works just peacy for positives, but for negatives the ticks are still spaced out.

Not really sure what you mean, can you link to an example. There should be no difference between positive and negative (spacing wise).

This is great, thank you :)

so um we turn it on and it just brakes the display of our current rep system....

How do I upload the images....and to where. thanks

Hi Paul, I have some replacement star images I'd like to use on my board, but the problem is that they are png files and not gifs like the original files.

There are only 3 of them. How would I go about making this hack use png files for those 3 images instead of gifs? Ive looked through plugins and stuff and couldnt find anything.

You upload them with FTP to your server, in your /images/reputation/ folder.

vbulletin is hard coded to use gifs (in one of the templates I believe). You would need to edit that template and the plugin code - or re-save your images as gifs.

Yes, i think ive seen the template, it has one reference to gif files, which tells me that it will only look for/use one type of file.

From looking at it I would say that if I changed the reference to png, it would need all of the reputation images to be png files.

How would I need to modify it to use png files for only those 3 stars, do you know?

Take the gif/png reference out of the template and add them to the names in the plugin code.

what names in the plugin code am I changing? Im not quite sure what your referring to.

Thanks Alot

Hey, Paul.

I've edited the settings a little bit for it to work the way i need it to, but what i want is, once a user reaches the required amount of green pips, say 10. Once they do that, i want them to have a bar, and not the green pips next to the bar.

Is there anyway i can remove the green pips once the user reaches the required amount of rep? Thanks.

There's a image of what i mean, i need to remove the pips on the left. Cheers.
