Threads/Posts to add/remove reputation

Hey, on an old VBulletin forum board i used to moderate for they had a system set up where creating a thread would gain a user 1 reputation point, and posting a reply would deduct 1 reputation point. This was only active in a certain category. Does anyone know how to do this?

I am unaware of a mod that would do it. Sounds like a silly idea. Discourage people from responding to threads???

i run a site where we have shares. i would to require them to keep a share ratio and to do this have 20 reputation to access the shares category. when you post a new thread (share) you are granted a reputation credit, when posting a post/reply (enabling hide hack function to reveal hidden content) it will cost you a rep credit.

understand what i mean? it wouldnt be a product, it would have to be a template edit.

someone must know the template edit to add reputation on new thread???

Have you checked the reputation settings? AdminCP > User Reputation ?

yea ive looked around in all the user reputation areas and no options for what im looking for. looks like im gunna have to spend a good few hours studying the functions_reputation.php and try to duplicate the addreputation into newthread :(

I don't think the reputation system is what you want for this; it just wasn't designed with this in mind. Have you looked at other mods, like the various "thank you" hacks?

Just seems to me it would be easier to code this from the start than to try to mangle the rep system.

i assumed it should really be as simple as grabbing the code from the form buttons where you add positive and negative reputation... but i cant seem to find the actual code that increases/decreases the rep level by one.. surely cant be as hard as im making it out...

I'd say you should be able to do this with a 2 plugins.. One after newthread and another on reply.. That said, looking at the code, it seems like all the repuation add is handled in reputation.php, so you'd have to duplicate some of that code rather than call functions etc, which is a bit sucky (I'm still on 3.6.x, so later versions might vary).

eg.. this bit from reputation.php seems to do the adding

PHP Code:


		
			
    // init user data manager
    $userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
    $userdata->set_existing($userinfo);
    $userdata->set('reputation', $userinfo['reputation']);
    $userdata->set('reputationlevelid', intval($reputationlevel['reputationlevelid']));

    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('reputation_add_process')) ? eval($hook) : false;

    $userdata->pre_save();

    /*insert query*/
    $db->query_write("
        INSERT IGNORE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "reputation (postid, reputation, userid, whoadded, reason, dateline)
        VALUES ($postid, $score, $userid, " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ", '" . $db->escape_string(fetch_censored_text($vbulletin->GPC['reason'])) . "','" . TIMENOW . "')
    ");
