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

Change Log:

Version 1.0.0

Is there really no way around the Internet Explorer bug to show the ajax popups?

You would probably have to modify it to use regular javascript popup window, instead of AJAX.

I tried several things, including changing the z-index of the dropdown box to be one of the highest values possible, but for some reason IE has an error drawing it on that dynamic window that gets created. I have seen it display okay in some versions of IE7 but I haven't been able to work out which versions of 7 it didn't work with. IE6 will probably be hopeless, but I think in a future version there will be better detection for IE7 and use ajax for that rep window wherever possible.

Basically, what happens is when the window shows, the space where the dropdown should be is just empty, the words are spaced apart as if it were there taking up room, but it seems to be invisible or underneath the popup div or something.

Ok thanks. I got another suggestion for this hack: in usercp/latest rep. showing how many points have been given would be usefull

Try the User Reputation options in the standard Usergroup permissions...
