This is a modification of MarkB's Mark User As Contributor hack. It allows for 4 different tiers of Contributors based on what you set for donation limits for each tier.

It also allows the user to have the option of being listed as a "contributor" and not be listed in the various levels. Some of my users are happy to show that they support the site, but know their wife/husband won't be happy if they saw they were a platinum donator and such :p

Updated 1/13 To fix bugs in install file once again

Sorry Already found a bug in the dang thing :(

The attachment has been fixed. If you've already downloaded it all you gotta do is change:

member.php

if ($userinfo[showdonation]!="1") {

to

if ($userinfo[showdonation]!="1" and $userinfo[donator]) {

and the admin/functions.php

if ($post[showdonation]!="" and $post[showdonation]!="1") {

to

if ($post[showdonation]!="" and $post[showdonation]!="1" and $post[donator]) {

Looks like pretty work, Great improvment

good work

nice we are using V1 of it right now, a demo of V2?

Hi,

Looks like a great hack but I am having a problem installing I am getting this error:

I am running: mysqladmin Ver 8.21 Distrib 3.23.43 if thats any help
Any ideas as I really want this hack!

Managed To Fix This By Removing The Second `Donation` Bit In The Code (Hope This Helps Someone)

Cheers and Merry Christmas,

Yep, right. there is additional 'donator' in the script :p which should be removed.

Hi, different problem this time!

In the installation guide it says to find this in admin/functions.php:
But I have checked my copy of vBulletin 2.2.1 and these are not present any clues? Also is it possible to change the level names, eg Bronze etc, to different ones?

Cheers,

Another problem: Where do we define the variables

all users get marked as platinum :(

And please be aware that you might have installed some other hack, so just by replacing a whole sql query (like user update/insert), you might get into trouble.

So only add the 'donator' and 'donation' appropriately in queries.

Aha!! Cheers

Ok fixed the bug in the install file. Sorry about that it's my first time making a install file :(

As far as masood's question you define the variables in the main options of VB.

What did i do wrong?

i put the code $post[donation] into postbit then the word "- Platinum Contributor" appear to all users.

Actually the different level settings are in the main vb options where you can set what levels equal what amount of money.

I've been trying to rework this hack into something bigger. I'm currently testing donator perks, a way of users to earn site supporter status by visiting sponsors, and possibly a way of making a query list of contributors after they've made their donations. So far only a few bugs. If anyone has installed this is interested in the other end of the hack for testing please PM me and let me know.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by masood


you need to define the variables $platinum, $gold, $silver and $bronze. otherwise they are all equal to zero, so everyone becomes platinum member by contributing nothing :p

I have defined mine in functions.php at the top...

[QUOTE]Originally posted by LangTuDaTinh


this may be stupid but how do i define it?, i insert a code into function.php as in the instruction ..is here any other code?

thanks

The $gold $sliver, etc. should be found at the bottom of your vb control panel options in the admin section. You shouldn't have to add anything into the function file

does any one know how to add an image to this hack, so that contrinuting member will stand out. here is an example

hypedave,

Just edit the templates through control panel. Search for 'Silver' etc. in templates and you'll be able to find the relevant templates.

ok can I ask this question again, because I am a total newbie :confused: can some one, point me to the right direction :confused: :stupid: :confused: :stupid:

Go to the admin control panel.

On the left navigation click on Modify under Tamplates.

Expand the list of templates.

Expand 'User Info Display Templates'

There are five templates for you to play with: getinfo_bdonation, getinfo_donation, getinfo_gdonation, getinfo_pdonation, getinfo_sdonation

Edit anyone and see the result :)

okay sorry for being a pain in the butt, hehe, what how would I tell it the path ti the image, when I say I am a php editing newbie, I really mean, yeah i know, some people you just dont give a baord to and im one of them, lol,

say I have an image in my image folder titled

tropghy.gif how would I give the path to that image ??

hey guys I figured it out, had to go grab me a beer , lol

Looks like you have similar problem :)

This involves two MySQL tables, 'settinggroup' and 'setting'. If you browse the 'settinggroup' table (through phpMyAdmin etc.) look for the 'settinggroupid' value corresponding to the "Donator" - should be the last row in this table if you have not installed another hack involving change of this table...

Now this 'settinggroupid' value must match with the 'settinggroupid' in 'setting' table (where corresponding options are defined). If you browse 'setting' table, you can look for Silver, Bronze and Gold rows at the end.

In my case these values did not match, so I could not see the options under Donator in control panel options. I just edited those rows in 'setting' table and bingo! :)

By default (in contribute.php installation) only three levels are defined in SQL queries, Platinum is not defined so non-contributors get Platinum label ;)

Ok the installer file has been updated. Sorry about the delays. I've been having tons of problems lately. My server got hacked, father had a heart attack, etc. The updated file should work fine now. **crossing his fingers**

ok, i give up

mabye this hack should be moved to the beta forum until it actually works...

So I'm a little confused... Does this hack work or no? I'm running the latest vbulletin and would really find this hack usefull but I can't put a hack that might have problems.

I've decided to stick with the hack below until the bugs get worked out of this one.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=33195

after a couple of fixes, it can work at my forum (vb 2.2.0) :)

This is not working for me, the install file just returns the same errors as mentioned above. I have not installed the other contibuting hack, so this was done on a fresh install.

Could someone please help? I would like to get this installed as it is a nice hack from what I have seen from the previous one.

Any help is appreciated....

Thanks,

yes, first u need to fix the install.php file, check if it creates the relevant fields, if done but with errors, that's ok. Just delete the lines according to adding fields/values at the MySQL, then run it again, then it would create the templates, then u are alright :)

Well it is installed but I am not seeing any options under the donations header in the Admin CP > Options > Donator

How do I fix this, I read something a few posts back but I am not a PHP person so I dunno what to do, if someone could guide me and tell me what to do, it would be appreciated,

Thanks

there won't have an option "Donator" in admin panel, u have to find the user, then u see a Contribute Points field, enter the values there!

Ok so I will take it that should I need to raise the donation amount per level, I will have to make the changes via phpMyAdmin?

If so that will be fine, I thought that you were supposed to be able to set them via the admin cp, in the options area. That is ok though, just as easy to modify them via phpMyAdmin, I just wanted to make sure that I did not install something wrong.

I may just stick with the other hack until this one is completly fixed up.

----------------------------------------------------

On another note GeorgeOfCS, I hope that your father is feeling ok after his incident, my grandmother has had quite a few in past years, so I know how it feels.

yeah my father is getting better slowly, but it's definitely a long road for him.

The problem with the hack is I've installed it now without fail like 3 different times. And it always works. It's a problem in the installer file, but I'll be honest I don't know where the bug is and if someone know please post it so I can update the installer.
From now on my hacks will be in text files rather than installer files.
