So yes, such a thing may make it into the code at some point - but as for 10 stars - maybe you need to review your point value settings slightly.

I ran into this problem on my site. With the exisiting plugin, we were set to have 5 of each pip which translated into a total of 15 stars being displayed. That was too many plus it didn't show more if the user earned more reputation.

I modified the plugin so that if the user gets more than x (say 10) stars, after the stars a [+x] will appear to show how many stars above 10 the user has earned. The attachment shows a real life example of what it looks like.

I made these changes to the plugin:

look for this code:

PHP Code:

                $repa = 'green';
                $repb = 'greenh';
                $repc = 'gold';
                $repx = 'goldstar';
            }
            $count = $linemax_cnt; 


REPLACE the $count = $linemax_cnt; with

PHP Code:

                // next lines from Brent, begin section I
                        $goldstar_num = floor($repval/$linemax_val);
                        $goldstar_show = 10;

                          if ($goldstar_num < $goldstar_show)
                          {
                            $count = $goldstar_num;
                            $extra = 0;
                          } else {
                            $count = $goldstar_show;
                            $extra = $goldstar_num - $goldstar_show;
                          }
                        // end of Brent section I 


AFTER:

PHP Code:

            while ($count > 0 and $repval > $linemax_val) 
            {
                $count -= 1;
                $repval -= $linemax_val;
                $posneg = $repx;
                $linemax_exd += 1;
                eval('$post[\'reputationdisplay\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_reputation') . '";');
            } 


ADD:

PHP Code:

    // added by Brent to show [x] after medals
            if ($extra > 0)
            {
                $post['reputationdisplay'] .= " [+".$extra."]";
                $repval -= $extra * $linemax_val;
            }
              // end of Brent change 2 


Change $goldstar_show to how many stars you want to display.
