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

I agree. I don't want to be taken to a new page. Make it work with the Ajax pop-ups then I'll install it. Nice hack other than this issue.

Exactly what I want. Thanks!

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.

This needs to be the default.

Is it possible to make the negative points show as

-5, -4, -3

Tnks for the fix, i've been waiting for this mod.

Yea you can do that. In the "Generate HTML Dropdown" plugin, make the following change:

PHP Code:

  // change
  $negrepdd .= "<option value="$i">$i</option>";

  // to
  $negrepdd .= "<option value="$i">-$i</option>";
