Pip System Hack
By mx3/Hyper22shadow

What this does is display an image a certain amount of times based on post count in the postbit.

Isn't that what the "Stars" in the image folder are for?

mx3	07-28-2003 05:43 AM

Uhm...
Can you rephrase that?
Sorry....a bit tired...
Wait...do you mean the thread rankings? If so, no...this has nothing to do with the thread, just the user...

Hostc

07-28-2003 05:44 AM

Oh, sorry hit the submit button too quickly :P

mx3	07-28-2003 05:45 AM

Heh...its ok...

Hostc

07-28-2003 05:55 AM

So as I understand it Adds the images under the Title like Invisionboard, Phpbb has on theirs?

mx3	07-28-2003 05:56 AM

Yes. Right under the title in the postbit.

Hostc

07-28-2003 05:59 AM

Great Hack! :) I always wondered why vbulletin didn't have this ;)

To people who need PIPs you can get some from http://phpbb.com or http://ibplanet in their graphics area :p

Installs

mx3	07-28-2003 06:02 AM

Thanks! Heh...finally a hack i make that works...
Oh and be careful getting them from those sites...some are copyrighted...
but at ibplanet.com in their gfx db under pips find the flashy rainbow ones and i made those (They are by hypershadow22)...you can use those if you want. the rest...well i dunno.

Hostc

07-28-2003 06:04 AM

Suggestion:

It'd be nice if you added a way to edit the PIPs Options VIA the AdminCP.

mx3	07-28-2003 06:06 AM

Thatll be in version 2. I just threw this together really fast because i was bored and wanted to see if i could make a hack :p
I'll see what i can do about the admin stuff...might take awhile though. I'm not all that good with the template system...or PHP for that matter. I only know the basics, but its enough for me for now. :D

Me too, heh heh...thats another reason i made it.
Any other suggestions/comments?

Add a way for users to change which PIP Images should show in their post...

Example:

1 user wants Red stars showed in his Post, so he can choose red stars PIP

2nd user wants Blue Stars showed in his post, so he can choose Blue Star PIP.

Or something like that :p

Well the way i set it up is that the colors change for usergroup. At my boards, i have about 6-7 staff usergroups and each have a separate color, and the members just get regular white.

Hostc

07-28-2003 06:13 AM

Then restrict which images a person can choose depending on their usergroup

mx3	07-28-2003 06:15 AM

So like, the regular members could choose a few different colors that aren't special staff ones? heh...it'd be kinda hard at my boards since a lot of the colors are taken but i can try that. Version 2. :D

Exactly :)

Little Problem,

After Editing the Functions.php and adding the code after

<smallfont>$post[usertitle]</smallfont> 

It doesn't show the PIP's under the title.....

mx3	07-28-2003 06:26 AM

Hmm...
you put $showpips right after it?
I'll go check my template to make sure thats the right variable...
Did you save and upload your admin/functions.php file?

-Edit-
Well, this is the line in my template:

PHP Code:


		
			
    <smallfont>$post[usertitle]</smallfont><br>$showpips<br>

If the instructions say to make that look otherwise, tell me, and i'll update ASAP.

Also, make sure you added it to all your template sets.

Hostc

07-28-2003 06:29 AM

Oh, stupid me...... Forgot to upload the functions.php file. Other then that it works great :)

mx3	07-28-2003 06:30 AM

Lol, well ok...Its always something like that which causes errors and stuff. :D
Can you post the url to your board so others can see it in action? I'll add it to the first post, as well. :D

i always wondered why vb2 had stars. but i never figured a way to turn them on, great hack, too bad ill be going vb3 in a day or two

Hostc

07-28-2003 06:34 AM

..........

mx3	07-28-2003 06:34 AM

The stars are for the thread rankings i believe. When you make a new reply, you can 'rate the post'...
Unless i'm stupid and can't read correctly today :p
I'll update this for vB3 soon....i suppose....but can't release it here till vB3 final is released..

It's just a hack testing board, not intended for public use.... but I guess I could let people see it in action...

Hmm...it doesn't look like its working for the admin user.
The administrator group id should be 6, at least thats what i have the hack set for. Change those if they are different ^^

PHP Code:


		
			
if(($post[usergroupid] == "6")) { // This should be the admin group id

$pip="images/apip.gif";

} elseif(($post[usergroupid] == "5")) { // this should be the super mod group id

$pip="images/spip.gif";

} elseif(($post[usergroupid] == "7")) { // and this should be moderator group id

$pip="images/mpip.gif";

} else {

$pip="images/pip.gif";

}

Ack, too tired right now...
I'll try it tomorrow, sometime in the afternoon....:D
But i guess i can check out the vb3 files right now to see how they are set up.

BUG: If a user has more posts then the maximum option in the function.php it doesn't show the IMAGES for the LAST PIP Level......

mx3	07-28-2003 06:45 AM

Err...well it wasn't really designed to do so. i can fix that though.
And faranth, I think its actually built in to vB3. The User Ranks thing...

-edit-
Updated the zip file. Download it and re-do the change to admin/functions.php.

Hostc

07-28-2003 06:53 AM

You may want to make a version number for this one ;)

mx3	07-28-2003 06:54 AM

Why? Just a little fix...
Ok, fine...1.1 it is :D

Still not fixed......

mx3	07-28-2003 07:00 AM

It isn't? How many posts does the user have?

Posts: 65535

:p

mx3	07-28-2003 07:04 AM

ok...
find:

PHP Code:


		
			
} elseif($post[posts] >=' 5501' AND $post[posts] <= '10000') {

$pipcount=15;

$showpips="<img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip>";

add under:

PHP Code:


		
			
} elseif($post[posts] > '10000') {

$pipcount=16;

$showpips="<img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip>";

Tell me if that works...

And i don't really think there are many boards out there with members that have post counts that high :p

Hostc

07-28-2003 07:19 AM

I know, but if a user had more posts then whats set in the functions.php it wouldn't show the image ;)

Hostc

07-28-2003 07:22 AM

You mean

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
} elseif($post[posts] >=' 5501' AND $post[posts] <= '5500') {

$pipcount=15;

$showpips="<img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip><img src=$pip>";

? ;)

Hostc

07-28-2003 07:29 AM

Yep that works :D

P.S: Don't forget to update the zip.

Technically, no, but there have been hacks out that are similar to this that uses stars. Also, vBulletinTemplates.com had a modification to use stars as well.

another way to do this without a hack is the way i have made the rank stars on my forum.....

in the admin cp

When defining the ranks, simply ad a followed by an img tag for the appropriate star image. For example:
Starting at 0 posts:
Forum Newbie <img src="images/stars/1star.gif">
Starting at 51 posts:
Forum Member <img src="images/stars/2star.gif">

You would then make appropriate images and place them in forums/images/stars.

You can only have so many stars doing it this way since there is a limit to how many characters you can enter in the rank field.. Though of course this can be fixed with a small MySQL database query.. ;)
