End-User Options - Let user choose how many reputation points to give (up to their limit).

This modification gives the user the option to choose how many reputation points to give or take when posting reputation on a post. They cannot give or take more than the number of points they have available.

When giving rep, aside from choosing if they approve or disapprove of the post and entering a comment, there is a dropdown box going from 0 to the number of rep points they have. This allows them to award or take a lower number of points than the default which uses their point value.

There is a check in place to make sure the user didn't alter the form to give or take more than the maximum value they can use. An appropriate error message is displayed.

An important thing to note about this mod is that due to a problem with Internet Explorer not being able to show the select box on top of the page when you have the ajax popups enabled, turning this mod on will override your setting for using ajax for giving reputation. It doesn't turn ajax off for anything else. The user will be taken to the default page that is used when popups are disabled if they are using Internet Explorer.

Installation: To install, unzip the product XML file, and import it to your board using the product manager in the AdminCP found under "Plugins & Products" => "Manage Products" => "Add/Import Product"

There are no templates to edit, they should be done automatically. If there is any problem with the dropdown menu showing up please let me know.

Show support if you use it: Mark This As Installed if you use it on your board. Thanks

when i add points..it doesn't show..why?

[subnet_rx]

When someone negative reps with this addon, it negative reps the full amount instead of half. Anyone know how to prevent this?

This is great....

but one side effect that i have noticed is that users may only give low amounts of rep if they want to keep another members rep from shooting up.

is there a way you can build in some options that allows an admin to alter the options for each user.

For example...

if someone has rep power 8...

then they can choose to give 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 rep points.

If an admin can limit it to the top three or four then that user can only give 5, 6, 7 or 8 rep points.

This may help to limit the amount of rep "whoring" goes on, so to speak.

Great hack, but I have a bunch of people accidentally giving 0 rep. is there any way to set the minimum to 1 instead of 0?

1. How can I make the drop down max at 10 points?

I have the Enhanced reputation checks mod enabled to cap voting at 10 points, but it doesn't take effect with this mod in use.

2. Is this compatible with 3.6.7

Thanks for the hack!

This is exactly the problem I was having. The problem is that people don't always read what is in the drop-down box, therefore it's important that the default choice is the max rep, rather than 0!

I've fixed the issue, and suggest that this change is made in the next version:

In the plugin "Generate HTML dropdown"

Find:

for($i = 0; $i <= $score; ++$i) {

Replace with:

for($i = $score; $i >= 0; $i=$i-1) {

This will reverse current order, making max rep the first choice, and 0 the last.

When I give negative reputation and choose the maximum I get this message:

The reputation amount you are trying to give is more than you are allowed to give or take.

So members need to go back and correct this by trying again. This is not optimal. IS there a solution for this?

[ShatterStudios]

If I could make a suggestion, it would be to use a text box instead of the dropdown and just tell the person what his or her rep power is, like -

Give or take <text box> points (your rep power is __).

As it is, this hack isn't feasible at all for higher reputation powers, and if I understand the AJAX problem, doing it this way would take care of the need to go to the default page.

I have a similar problem. For some reason I can only give 1 negative rep or I get that error. I can give up to my max (3) positive rep though. Anybody know why?

Bad. Uninstalled it, it takes away the reputation popup.
