Stars & Pips v2.26
 
I got the updated stars & pips re amended by scorpion
& Updated it for 2.26
I only ammended the instructions,as it was originally made for 2.0.1 by bloofish & Juice a nice couple of geezers ;)

And it works perfect ;) on 2.26

Stars = Stars :)
Pips = Pips :D

pips are what u get before u aquire stars sort of like a dash in morse code :D
hope that clears everything up lololol

snyx 06-04-2002 02:34 PM

ummm, stars are pipes?

Henry-RS 06-04-2002 03:15 PM

Which file do we modify? Functions or Showthread?

I'm sorry, but your install file is very confusing....

What ? this is a very simple hack !!!!
its all in the instructions

Dr Shark 06-04-2002 04:10 PM

can someone post a demo of this hack?

NoAhBoDy 06-04-2002 04:12 PM

There seems to be some confusion in the instructions as to whether or not to modify adim/functions.php...
Quote:

save and upload

now follow the Common instructions for ALL v2 vbb software,
near the bottom of this text file ;)



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 2.2.6 instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

open: admin/functions.php

find: $post[joindate]=vbdate($registereddateformat,$post[joindate]);

add the following code directly above that line.
So after modifying showthread.php, the instructions say to skip down to the common instructions...

Do we go back and modify admin/functions.php as well?

Almax 06-04-2002 04:44 PM

This Has been updated & works perfect
ONLY FOR VB2.26

Floris 06-04-2002 05:38 PM

Got a URL for us where we can check out how it looks ?

Almax 06-04-2002 05:50 PM

pips & stars speaks 4 itself

larryz 06-04-2002 05:54 PM

you would think out of all the releases and over time this would have been added as an original features. Almost every other board I see has them or sites always want them.

Thanks for the update, will try it out later for our not so hoping board.

NoAhBoDy 06-04-2002 06:07 PM

Almax, I realize it's for 2.2.6....but you still haven't clarified in the instructions that you should edit *both* php files.. :D

I decided for myself to edit both files even though the instructions say to skip past the functions.php mod.

Anyway, thanks for the hack...I like it :)

Almax 06-04-2002 06:42 PM

look m8 i updated the zip it dont say that on it since i updated it :)
but glad u like it :)

NoAhBoDy 06-04-2002 07:05 PM

MY BAD :) The web caching engine that I go thru was sending me the old zip ;)

...but you forgot to say "save and upload" after the admin/functions.php mod hehe ;)

Almax 06-04-2002 07:33 PM

picky picky picky lol ;)

Marshalus 06-04-2002 08:45 PM

Pips & Stars doesn't speak for itself. You've got quite an attitude when people here are asking for help, or a simple demo of what they're downloading and installing to their boards. I personally would never install a hack where the author was being a ++++ to everyone who asked for help.

I don't think that's too much to ask.

Takara 06-05-2002 07:05 AM

I can understand what the stars are, but pips?

Are the pips optional? Is it one or the other? or both at the same time?

TECK 06-05-2002 08:57 AM

XI, tell us. i'm curious me to to know that pips stand for as a hack... thanks.

Are you F-ing kidding me?!?! :mad: :mad: :mad:

It would have been just as easy to explain what this hack does or post a link to a demo than it was to post that garbage!

I believe a mod or admin should step in here and let this guy know that if you are going to post a hack, you need to at least explain what the heck it is if someone asks. What a ****head!

Tungsten 06-05-2002 03:27 PM

Okay... let me contribute to the mayhem. What the hell are stars and pips? :confused:

Screenshot? Demo? Pics of a mime being beaten senseless so that we are distracted from the question at hand? ANYTHING! :D

Dolamite 06-05-2002 06:44 PM

perhaps PIP (picture in picture) we can watch tv while browsing the message board lol

:)

Tungsten 06-05-2002 06:54 PM

I'm going to assume that stars and pips are some sort of user rating system as the only other reference I can find to those two terms elsewhere on the net is in relation to Star Trek uniform insignias. :rolleyes:

Am I right? Stars and pips are used to rank a user accord to their posts or something weird like that?

NoAhBoDy 06-05-2002 07:06 PM

yup.....based on post count ranges, you get more "pips" beside your name and once you reach a predetermined threshold, you get a "gold star" :)

I'll tell ya....the boyz 'n' girlz in my board are lovin' this one hehe :)

(although it's doing a job on creating post-wh-o-res :D )

lordofgun 06-05-2002 09:00 PM

I'm a pip daddy. http://www.buffalorange.com/images/smiliesmore/pimp.gif

I don't think you were ever flamed, simply asked to explain your hack or post a demo. A reasonable request.

Dean C 06-07-2002 08:27 AM

yea id like to see a demo and the zip file isn't in the first post... :D

Sparkz 06-07-2002 08:34 AM

LOL! If any flaming occured here, YOU started it by more or less insinuating(is that even a word?;)) that people are stupid for not understanding what your hack does.

Almax 06-07-2002 01:47 PM

Sparkz Read b4 u print utter rubbish I was having a laugh with a member who didnt D/L the updated zip file
I posted a simple ammendment to a popular hack & some people reply like its some kind of debate on what stars & pips are !!!!
Simple hack INSTALL IT if you dont like it Re-Apply your backed up Files
I wont explain the hack as the instructions make it pretty clear what it does
Install it as its a really nice hack ;)
Lmao Stars & Pips .....what is a pip ??? bwhahahahaha

Sparkz 06-07-2002 01:57 PM

yeah, please tell me. What IS a pip?
I am not english speaking, and again you are insinuating that I am an idiot for not knowing what a pip is.

You must be one of the most ignorant people I have met in a long while. That kinda makes you the idiot in my book.

Oh, and since you're the one with a phd in english, what's up with your l33t speak and capitalization?

DemiNeo0101 06-07-2002 11:47 PM

Got a demo? It seems kinda pointless unless i can actaly see it in action and im not gona screw up my board just to see it....

omg, how hard is it just to SAY what it does and show us a screenshot? really...

Guichi 06-08-2002 04:14 AM

pips are basically small decorative dots. i used the old 2.2.1 version on 2.25 and it worked fine. also this code doesnt look like it has any changes from the original one. i also only used the code for the admin/functions.php(from the original hack[?]) and it works perfectly on both vbulletin 2.2.5 and 2.2.6. i have modified for use with only stars but you can more or less get a basic idea of how its going to look, my images are different but use your imagination on how the pips and stars from the default pack will look like :)

Takara 06-08-2002 06:43 AM

Out of curiousity, how much code did you have to change from the 2.2.1 version to 2.2.5? I only want stars aswell

Guichi 06-08-2002 01:42 PM

if your talking to me, all i did was remove the pips code and changed the post count to the post count of my user statuses on my board. i then added as much stars as i needed to for it to match the user statuses and only used the admin/functions.php portion and never used the showthread portion of the hack and it works fine.

duNno WherE u Got tHat Idea from ;)

Listen up folks its installed on a board i visit and i only just installed it on my new board so i cant really give you guys a pic of what it does :( as i never asked for permission to take a pic of the owners board.

Guichi has been kind enough to supply an image (thanks m8)
hope that helps some people :)

Pips = dashes a bit like morse code before you aquire stars
