Ok I'll try this when I get home. Maybe usergroup.php didn't upload right or something, but I didn't see that in my Admin CP. Will try again when I get home, thanks! :)

Ok it works...Don't know what I was doing, but great! Thanks for this great hack! Going to put it on my real board now that I know it works...Yippiee! Thanks! :)

"The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:"

This is the error I get when I installed it on my main board. In the Admin CP, I click on either "Add" or "Modify" and that's what I get. Why.....??????

Ok everything works now...I accidently added some code twice in "usergroup.php" so under the admins and mods it said two times instead of one "image name, how many"...that thing..heh...its fixed now and it all works...Great hack, thanks again! :)

I am fairly new at this, I love the star hack though. I have version 2.2.2 and I am not sure which star hack to use, yours or the other one... if I use yours, do I still have to use the other one or yours completely replaces the other one? Don't even know why I am confusing myself but I am confused LOL!

I guess what I am trying to ask is, do I have to first install tubedogg's hack then yours? Or can I just do yours?

I started modifying the files however I am stuck at this

****In newreply.php****

**Find

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0)
{

I just can't find that entry, I have looked at it over 5 times and I can't find it. Help please!

Also what do I do first, modify the files or go to go to http://www.your-domain.com/forum/admin/mysql.php in your browser and login?

The instructions are not very clear on what is to be done first. Please help me!

And what does this mean?
****Tipp-Anfang****
Keep the empty lines!! (Beim ver?ndern der Dateien, darauf achten, dass die Leerzeilen erhalten bleiben.)
****Tip-Ende****

I found it, it was pretty well hidden LOL!

On to admin/misc.php

It says to find maketableheader("Update Users Info</b> - </b>updates user titles<b>","",0);

Now this is what is in my misc.php (using version 2.2.2)

// ###################### Start user choices #######################
if ($action=="chooser") {

doformheader("misc","updateuser");
maketableheader("Update User's Titles","",0);
makeinputcode("Number of users to do per cycle: ","perpage","1000");
doformfooter("Update");

doformheader("misc", "updateposts");
maketableheader("Update User's Post Counts</b> - does not add non-posting forums to total. (This will recalculate all of your user's post counts based on their CURRENT posts in the database. Do not run this if you have pruned posts or manually changed post counts and you wish to maintain their current counts.)<b>", "", 0);
makeinputcode("Number of users to do per cycle: ","perpage","1000");
doformfooter("Update");

doformheader("misc","updateforum");

echo "<tr class='".getrowbg()."'><td colspan=2><p><i>If you are reindexing, you may want to empty the indexes.</i> <a href=\"misc.php?action=emptyindex\"><b>Click Here to do so!</b></a></td></tr>";
doformfooter("Re-index");

doformheader("misc","removedupe");

maketableheader("Remove dupe threads</b> - (relatively intensive, but useful after importing posts)<b>","",0);
makeinputcode("Number of threads to do per cycle: ","perpage","500");
doformfooter("Remove");
}

cpfooter();
?>

There is nothing on maketableheader("Update Users Info</b> - </b>updates user titles<b>","",0);

Am I missing something? Please help me out!

In vB 2.2.2 its the line:

"My" Hack is just a rehack of tubedogg's hack for vB 2.2.1 and up. :D

So do I have to install his first? I already did the first step of his, where the tables are created... I am up to modifying files but I have been having lots of trouble just finding lines in misc.php and index.php

Can you take a look at his thread? I have spend all day trying to figure out this hack and I am a bit disappointed that I have gotten nowhere so far. :(

I noticed most of the steps on his hack are very similar to yours, that is why I was asking if I have to do his first, then yours or if I can just do the rehack you did without having to do his first.... please tell me hahaha, this would make things a lot easier to understand.

Is the stars.php the same for both hacks?

Are there other lines that are different from 2.2.1 compared to 2.2.2?

I got as far as misc.php and then got stuck there!

Yupp, the stars.php is the same one. ;)

If you are running a vB 2.2.1 or up do not install tubedoff's hack, couse some DB_quere are different and the entries in the AdminCP (read above in this thread). This was the reason why I have rehacked his version. My instructions should work if you are using a original vB without hacks. If you have modifyed you scripts be carefull with the changes.

Just follow the instructions and if you have done everthing corretly it should work. :D

The german instruction is better couse I am from Austria, so my german is better than my english. :cool:

If you have backups from original PHP-Files compare them with "Beyond Compare". If the new scripts are not working you can find the errors more easier.

Wolf thanks for a great hack rehack LOL, I figured it all out and it is running smoothy!!! Finally, now I am a happy camper, thank you so much for your help and patience, you rule! :D

i tried running /admin/user.php?s=&action=find thats were im talking about it wont show you.... users fields like location and the points hack ceaced working on new users also.... hmm but the strange thing is i can acess them as members if they have loged in the passed 24 hours and all other methods just cant see a solid list

I can confirm this works great in vb2.2.2

This works just fine in 2.2.4. The only problem I had was I got a parse error on line 81 of /admin/usergroup.php. So I commented that line out and it works great! Thanks for this great hack! :)

@Radon3k
Yes, I noticed that the "$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO usergroup .... (line 80)" is not in one line. The is a CR before "VALUES (NULL ... (line 81)". If you leave that part of the quere you get an parse error.

Changed instruction and updated to vB 2.2.4.

Hi Wolf,

does it work with 2.2.5, too?

Guess so, since not much changed from 2.2.4.
Am upgrading right now :)

thx,
-Tom

Hi Tom!
Da keine gravierenden Änderungen in vB 2.2.5 sind funzt der Hack noch immer.

Danke :)
Dann leg ich mal los...
thx,
-Tom

Hey Wolf, this works just fine on 2.2.5 and I didn't have to edit out that line! Thanks! :)

Hi there..i cannot find this query in the Admin/misc.php

maketableheader("Update Users Info</b> - </b>updates user titles<b>","",0);

it is not given for any reason in the misc.php...i also control all other misc.php`s in the directories...but really i did nothing wrong the only query here is shown is this one:

maketableheader("Update User's Titles","",0);

maybe you mean this ??

if someone gots the vbportal..please call me @ ICQ i got a porblem to get in the administration
my ICQ: 148041353

The line is in admin/misc.php at 330 (vb2.2.5)! And that is the one you "could" change, you must not. Just a notice. ;)

Wolf42-

Excellent! Installed without a problem. :)

The line in the user.php must look like this. Please check. Your line looks like vB 2.0.3 couse something is missing (avatarid, and password in plain, but should be encrypted).

sry, that didn't help, there is some problem in register.php and my vb is 2.2.5

Which version of Stars have you installed on your vB? Tubedoggs (for 2.0.3) or my Rehack?

Sorry, in register.php the code should be:
Think its the same code as in user.php (did this some time ago). If you download my instructions it should work.

contact me on AIM plz!!

can you explain how can I have two different kind of stars on two different styles?? plz, cuz I need the color mtach kind of thing, so I have made seprate stars for each style, I was wondering if its possible to do that...

I'm not using AIM, sorry.
It can be done. But you need for every style an extra images-folder!
Find in admin/functions.php:
and replace with:
In announcement.php do the same. Now you have different stars for different styles.

OK, so this line(330) should not be changed at all in 2.2.5? I am just a little unclear about this point. If you would expand on this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance...

It dosn't matter if the line saying "Update user Titles" or "Update User Titles and Stars", the effect is the same.

Thnx Wolf42!! I luv ya man..

hmm i think mines messing up the same as webmasta's because i have the gender hak installed in that line so i'm not sure to put it but mine looks like

im running vs. 2.2.6 for the info.

First: What is your problem or what error do you get?

Second: In with file do you have this line?

ok well all that works fine and I get no errors but now when people post or I add a moderator I have to update counters everytime. Is this because of a mySql query or maybe using quick reply?

You only have to update counters if you change the usergroup of a user (eg make him Moderator and Mods have different stars) or you change the configuration of the stars (lower or rise the postcount for a starlevel).

ok well i have been testing on just raising a test members post then posting but even then when i get to the amount of posts they need to get a new star it wont go on with out updating counters. got any ideas?

It seams that there is something wrong with you newthred.php/newreply.php!

Can you post the part from your newthread.php between // update user stuff (about line 267 in 2.2.6 original) and // send email to moderators (about line 288 in 2.2.6 original).

And the same from newreply.php (324 to 345).
