Extended Reputation Display
 

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

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by gold pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the (prefix) display of stars begins - starting with the bronze stars, then silver stars and finally gold Stars. 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 red stars - however, there is only one star level for negative reputation.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of each star is limited by an ACP option (by default, 5 bronze = 1 silver, and 5 silver = 1 gold). The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings in the vboptions > reputation options. 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.


History:

v3.7.001 : First Release for vb 3.7
v3.7.002 : Bronze and Silver stars added to make three star levels.

thanx for release this (: installed*

install thanks

does this work on 3.6.7

No. This is the 3.7 version.

Thank you Paul :) Nice hack ;)

[high]* projectego clicks install :)[/high]

Just wanted to put it my plug again for adding one more level of stars - a 'super' star, so to speak. I promise to make the values high enough that I wont make you add a super super star! (lol) If you can make this, I will send you Dr. Pepper products from the USA! We have some cooooolll Dr. Pepper things here :)

thanks. once 3.7 is gold, this hack will be very useful.

Very kewl, TY :)

Installed but not working. I can't see as there are any problems with my settings in the vB Options. Any ideas?

ROFL! I second that.. Some how all out of no where my users have learned how "to get stars" and have like 20 each and its gonna break my template.. it already looks ew. haha

Suppa Suppa Star!!

THANKS Paul.

OT.. I tried upping the values of the pips but it didnt change the ones already given. Do I need to rebuild rep? Ifs so will that mess up the users rep count?

Not sure what you changed, but the results will be instant if you change the values this uses.

Thats what I though. Maybe I need to make it more.

Okay.. I just jacked it way up.

I was no wheres near making it high enough LOL

now its

Extended Reputation Dark Green Count
The maximum number of dark green pips to display before moving onto the next level.
set to 8

Extended Reputation Dark Green Value

set to 2000

Extended Reputation Light Green Count
The maximum number of light green pips to display before moving onto the next level.

I have a good 30 users or so that "figured it out" and was repping each other into the millions. Thanks to vbplazas unlimited rep. LOL

Installed but have a problem. The graphics do not display - instead for each pip a user has the text version of that level is displayed. Any help?

Put the images in the correct folder on your server.

um.. ok I've installed it but what is it supposed to look like? All I see in the postbit is a little green dot.

Jim

Installed thanks you ;)

No chance of another level? LOL even though I jacked it up like that members STILL have 20 plus stars. :eek: Insane! so now they are upset that there stars are gone and some still have a bunch. *sigh*

I need to find a way to let them spend those rep points. LOL

Thanks:)

thanks
good one ;)

Actually yes, there are plans to add another level at some point as I'll be needing it myself.

I just need the time and will power to do it. It should be sometime in the next few months. :)

Quick question - I'm still sporting the 3.6.x version on 3.7. If I install/overwrite, it should keep the same settings, correct?

Thanks again for this - definitely one of my favorite mods.

Thank you

I think so, however, Ive not tested it for months.

Star levels increased to three (bronze, silver, gold).

Note that if you upgrade to 3.7.002 then you must upload the images again - also the settings have moved to their own vb options group and will be reset to their default values.

<font face="Century Gothic">update........thanks</font>

Great mod, once I figured out what settings to change. :)

Paul,

Why can't we, we as in someone who knows what they're doing, just change the max value in the PHP file to adjust the maximum amount of pips shown?

Granted, that would change the concept of your tri color pip layout, but wouldn't that be easier to change the max in there, and just go from there?

You can do whatever you want on your forum. :)

I just wanted to drop in and say thanks for this new version Paul! The three levels make a HUGE difference!

Thank you!!

hey paul, any chance of adding in an option for alignment of the stars?

for example, currently they default to start from the left...

it would be great if I could tell it to align the row of stars in the center of the below pips (the way it displays in the member listings)

for example,

http://tehpix.com/tehpix/files/2/centered.png

now I redid my stars... so that they would be 5 point stars that would match the dark green, light green, and gold... but the rest is simply from the memberlist page...

if you arent interested in adding an option for it, would you perhaps be willing to help me find which template that I could edit myself in order to incorporate such a change on my own board? (I cant seem to find it :\ )

note: I am talking about specifically where the rep is displayed in the profile, and in the postbit

cool.. installed

no responce still huh?

perhaps he is bored with this mod???

oh well... guess I will have to dig into the code myself then :\

screw it, im too busy with other projects too... :p

Perhaps he just didnt see your post, did you think of that :rolleyes:

No, im not going to add an alignment option.

well then maybe you need glasses :p

sorry if I seemed pushy :( I didnt mean to

I think I was kinda frustrated and pissy at the time... I shouldnt have blahed out here as a result :\

I love your mods... and didnt mean any disrespect :D

For some reason, the reputation stars don't show up correctly. Like someone having 60000 rep points have less stars than someone having 20000 rep points... I didn't like the 3 pictures rep thing so I renamed all the same image to the gold,red,brown stars. Thanks.

Stars are not cumulative, if you have 4 bronze and then get enough points for silver, you will just get one silver star, not one silver plus four bronze.

Installed and looking good, thanks Paul.
