Default Rep Power 10 at Registration
 

How can I make the default rep power 10 for every user when they register? And how can I make it 10 for the people who already registered on my board??
I know a site that did this, so don't tell me it's impossible. When someone registers, they start with 10 rep power. How is this possible?

Well, it looks like rep power is calculated by starting with 1 and adding on to it for # of posts, days registerd, and reputation. So if you wanted to start with 10 instead of 1 you could make a plugin using hook reputation_power and this:


The check for 0 is because $reppower is set to 0 in certain cases (like they haven't met the minimum # of posts yet).

As for setting it for people already on your board, they're still going to have theirs calculated as mentioned above, they'll just get 9 more on top of that. I'm not sure if that's what you want to do, especially if you allow negative reputation.

Ooo! Thank you!! That worked :D
I do not allow Neg Reputation. It was a real pain trying to balance rep when ppl started at 1 rep power and you dont get another "rep pip" until like, 50 or whatever I have it set to.

Actually, if you have a look at /includes/functions_reputation.php, you get 1 reputation pip for every 100 reputation points ;)

I am using Extended Reputation Display so it tweaked all of that lol. Merry Christmas to both of you, thanks for helping.
