Show Thread Enhancements - Extended Reputation Display

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This hack extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then golden stars as the pips limit is reached.

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by 'golden' pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the display is prefixed by a golden Star, and started again. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and stars.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of stars in unlimited. The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings in the vboptions > reputation options. A line break can be inserted after the stars. The extended display system can be enabled/disabled in the options.

Just follow the install instructions in the zip file to install this product.

That's a long while ago, but in actual fact, the code has not changed in those two years - there is nothing you would gain atm by upgrading it.

Ah, from the version history above I sort of gathered there were bugfixes.

...not that we've had any, but if there were it'd obviously be nice to prevent rather than fix them

Installed on 3.6.8PL2!

Is there a possibility to add a few more levels on for when people max out their stars? at my site we use that feature as a 'hug' thing instead of reputation, and my women are very nice to each other - lots and lots of hugs given back and forth. And even with the settings low, we have people maxing out as the years go by. So I need 2 or so more levels!

Technically it would be possible to add more levels, but it would require more code and more images, not something generally needed (and probably visually messy). A better way would be simply to adjust the level values.

Hmmmmm....But see, there's the pride factor - the people who already have a huge amount of butterflies don't want to be reset...(we use diff color butterflies as our images, and then bigger butterflies as the bigger image - picture attached for visual- as you can see my peeps are getting too nice to each other!)... but if I just up the level values, it'll reset their butterflies to the new numbers, without reseting their actual rep points, right?

[jilly]

If you ever think about adjusting it, I'd like to have it so it would display no more than 10 images, and they just keep changing as the amount goes up, but keep replacing the old ones, so I don't end up with butterfly overload

Correct.

[jilly]

How much Dr. Pepper would I have to ship you to make it add two more types of butterflies? :P
