Reputation points (+ / -) for new threads and posts

Hey guys, im not a coder but ive been quickly trying to learn PHP over the 4 weeks ive had VBulletin. This is my first template mod cause ive not learn how to make plugins yet lol. I asked for weeks and weeks on how to do little things that would (when complete) construct my reputation system but know one replied with a respectable answer. Although once id managed to complete it and have it working i decided to share with you guys.

Purpose
I run a music production website where i provide downloads, but they are meant as a priveledge given to comitted members. So, to have access to the downloads section you must have 20 reps/reputation points (set as a rank in adminCP). This is now the share ratio because this mod rewards a rep point to the user who posts a new thread in the download section and deducts a rep point to those who reply to a thread. This will stop an progressive leeching issue, but of course without good moderation may introduce spamming (just a warning).

Modification
Ok down to the coding..

In > */includes/functions_newpost.php

find:

PHP Code:


		
			
                    eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks'));

                }

                else

                {

                    eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_duplicatepost', true, true));

                }

            }

        }

    }

and, underneath put:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($type == 'thread')//if its a thread and not a post/reply

{

    $result = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT reputation FROM user WHERE userid =".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']." ORDER BY userid ASC");

    $punkty=$result['reputation']+1;//incrase reputation by 1   CHANGE IF REQUIRED

    $vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE user SET reputation=".$punkty." WHERE userid=".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

   $senderpermissions=2;

   $registry =& $vbulletin;

   }

else//if its anything but a thread, hense; post/reply

   {

    $result = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT reputation FROM user WHERE userid =".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']." ORDER BY userid ASC");

    $punkty=$result['reputation']-1;//decreases reputation by 1   CHANGE IF REQUIRED

    $vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE user SET reputation=".$punkty." WHERE userid=".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

   $senderpermissions=2;

   $registry =& $vbulletin;

}

If you want this feature in just a select number of forums you add this around the above:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo[forumid] = 4 OR $foruminfo[forumid] =5)

{

//ABOVE CODE

}

or in a number of chained forums:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo[forumid]>4 AND $foruminfo[forumid]<8)// ADDED IN FORUMS 5, 6 AND 7

{

//ABOVE CODE

}

For this to apply to different usergroups

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($userinfo['usergroup'] =6)

{

//ABOVE CODE

}

any Screenshots plzzzz

Waiting . . . . . . .

Why would you need screenshots??

Create a thread = +1 reputation
Reply to a thread = -1 reputation

...simplez

hello
is there anyway to make this rep 2 for threads and 1 for reply's instead ?

or would changing to this work

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($type == 'thread')//if its a thread and not a post/reply
{
    $result = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT reputation FROM user WHERE userid =".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']." ORDER BY userid ASC");
    $punkty=$result['reputation']+2;//increase reputation by 2   CHANGE IF REQUIRED
    $vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE user SET reputation=".$punkty." WHERE userid=".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
   $senderpermissions=2;
   $registry =& $vbulletin;
   }
else//if its anything but a thread, hense; post/reply
   {
    $result = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT reputation FROM user WHERE userid =".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']." ORDER BY userid ASC");
    $punkty=$result['reputation']+1;//increase reputation by 1   CHANGE IF REQUIRED
    $vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE user SET reputation=".$punkty." WHERE userid=".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
   $senderpermissions=2;
   $registry =& $vbulletin;
}

Yes that would work fine.

What a wonderful idea, thank you ever so much for sharing with us, i know how it feels to have to struggle on with no help, well done you for getting this done.

I wonder how we might be able to make this work retroactively, I know you are just picking up in this field so this may be a little out there for you, but I wonder if anyone else also might know. I tried the obvious of rebuilding users rep' but it did nothing.

Can you please post a screen shot.

You shouldnt need a demo, the description says it all. For a demo it would mean giving restricted access to an account, autoreplying with rep system bypass. Read the comments and you should understand what this edit does.

Doesn't seem to work on my forum... Had it installed for a few weeks and my own reputation is still where I left it?

Seems to be working fine for me. thanks!

Great job. Keep up the good work! :)

excellent mod nice and easy to install and easy to find and edit, cheers

how can I modify this so it becomes 1 rep point every 3 threads?

Its not possible per numerous threads im afraid...

I did this mod but it did not change the previous reputation count!! or it will work only for the new threads after applying the mod?

I made a new thread = +5 and new post = +1

I tested now, by making a new thread, but still it adds 1 point for the new thread!!
