Anyone have this working for 2.2.5?

Answered my own question. Works great on 2.2.5 :)

Great hack :)

it didnt' work on 2.2.5 for me?

** edit - yes it did, I didn't read the instructions thoroughly :)

I dont understand....

the original hack just marks a little blubs called "contributor", but some of you have got it to display little icons above it, and pick and choose which ones...

how do i get the hack to show the little icons, one that works on 2.2.6?

nevermind... i got it uninstalled using this thingy i put together with some help (see my attachment)

i'm just doing what this hack does with templates now. i think it's better. just make a custom user info field that can only be changed in the admin cp. add post[fieldx] to your postbit with link tags around it. then edit profiles by putting "Contributor" into that field. it works the same. you can change the text for each user to whatever you want for making levels of contributors and stuff.

i'm working on a member listing using the custom fields that will only list members with a value in the donation field.

Installed perfectly on 2.2.5

Great Hack. We just closed a large majority of our boards for what we are calling "Premium Members" and I was having to add a little icon to each member's profile. This cuts that step out.

What would be cool is if this could be done and the person was added to a different user group all at the same time.

Hack well done.

Nice hack - I think I will install this one!

Edit: Installed it on 2.2.6... works like a charm.

A few questions:

2.Let's say you have a bunch of donating members.... how do you all handle that - you get an email from the member and manually check it.. or do you have some other routine for this?

3. Let's say you want the "supporting member" in postbit to expire after a certain amount of time....(6 months donation).... how can I include that?

Thank you for a nice hack!!

i uploaded contribute.php to my admin directory and ran it, clicked install and i got disconnected... now im getting an error...

what would be the query i would run to drop the "donator" field from my user table??

Thanks in Advance

oooh :) coolness

I installed it and I get the "contributor" in my post box, but how do I put in an image next to it? I read someone said "edit the template" but how?

Can anyone help me with a problem I am having regarding this hack? I've done has described but I cant make the actual text center on my postbit, believe me i tried, whats wrong?

set up a test account ^

Fixed now anyways.

:D

Does this work in 2.2.7?

I see no reason why it shouldn't, but I haven't upgraded yet, so have no idea :)

I have 2.2.7 installed and I installed it and had no problems everything seems to work. :)

With version 2.2.7 i found that there were differences in two of the lines to be replaced

they are in admin/user.php

it involves the nosessionhash field in the user table.

i have attached a text file that is updated from the original release on page 1 of this thread.

Also just would like everyone to know in the query edits on the install guide it is missing the "$" sign infront of birthdays.. Stuffed up my birthdays for abit there.

I am having a problem on 2.2.8

Does not work for some reason?

Any idea's?

I had no problem on any of the upgrqades all the way up to vB v2.2.7

This hacks works with 2.2.8 - it should - it does nothing to affect the running of the rest of the code.

well it doesn't work on my site now.

I just upgraded to the 2.2.8 and upgraded this hack on the certain files and nothing.

I'm trying to run contributer.php on my forums (v2.28) and I get this error:
Anyone know what's up? Im going to try the modified instructions the other person posted

darn..i just tried to install this on 2.2.8 and it doesnt' work. it does show up in the profile but not when i view the threads.

was there a solution to this?

thanks,

I'm a bit confused if this works or not on 2.2.8. I wish someone would re-release this hack with the fixes that people came up with... :)

I have this installed on my 2.2.8 and it works without any bugs...

This I want one of two of it please.. installing soon :) thnx

hey Tha Rock,

you got it to work? man. i guess i'll go and try it again. also, someone mentioned it earlier..but in one of the changes, birthday is missing a $ in front of it. make sure you make that change.

thnks - testing it out again!

I think people with newer versions of vB and people who have hacks installed which use templates will find this hack will need some work to get installed. Some of the lines you search for are for the 2.2.2 standard vB files, the code has changed 6 versions down the line and those with hacks will have further modified their code. You have to search for maybe the first few words of a line and then insert changes directly into the code instead of an easy simple supercool copy and paste :)

Like it's said: For the good things in life you must work :)

The thing is, the work you have to do for this hack is minimal, it takes what, an extra 2 minutes to do the hack if you suffer from having a later version and/or have modified code already ;)

for newbies like me,

what exact changes did you make? would you mind posting what was different?

thanks!

There were mostly things that would apply to individual's code...

but for example, in admin/user.php, the these two steps will have been modified a few times already by other hacks and you might not find them straight off:

weird. i made the following changes and still no luck. i guess i'll start from scratch again. this is the first hack for the board so it's not like it's conflicting with other hacks.

i do get the 'contributor' to show up in the profile but just not in the threads. hmm.

Did you edit your postbit template...
