Stars v0.2.3

Thanks to Bane there has been a complete reworking of the installation/instructions for this hack. It is now up to date for 2.0.3 and the installer runs exactly like the vB install/upgrade scripts do.

There is no demo as I don't currently use stars on my board.

For version: 2.0.3

Files needed: stars.php

Files to edit: newthread.php, newreply.php, admin/misc.php, admin/index.php, admin/usergroup.php, register.php and possibly stars.php

Templates to edit: postbit

Instructions: Upload install_starshack.php and stars.php to your admin directory. Go to example.com/admin/install_starshack.php and login, then follow the on-screen instructions.

Upgrade information: If you have previously installed the stars hack, make sure you choose the "upgrade" option on the screen mentioned in the instructions. If you have previously installed this version (using install_starshack.php), you MUST STILL use the upgrade option even if you are reinstalling or you will get database errors.

Feedback appreciated.

I changed to this:

// Stars Hack
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,username,password,email,".$newstylefield." parentemail,coppauser,homepage ,icq,aim,yahoo,signature,adminemail,showemail,invi sible,usertitle,joindate,cooki euser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,usergroupid ,timezoneoffset,emailnotificat ion,receivepm,emailonpm,options,birthday,maxposts, startofweek,ipaddress,pmpopup, referrerid,nosessionhash,starlevel,starimg) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($username))."

this hack doens work for vb 2.2.1

i have to modified a few thing but doesnt work yet

isnt show the starts

i look the postbit and it is fine i think

what can i do?

$post[stars] are empty

i think i do bad the misc change beacuse i dont found "user info update"

or something like that

and update the file or put 2 file for 2.2 and 2.0

[bbaddons]

I am running vBulletin 2.2.1 and it works fine for my board.
The only thing I saw on the installation was that if the stars
were not in the forum directory specified I had to edit
showthread.php (I never had to touch that file - you have to
edit admin/functions.php and stars.php).

But I have it working perfectly fine on my board right now

[HellMind]

i dont know what are you talking about

[bbaddons]

Did you get it installed (the stars hack)?

I was saying that it is working fine on my board
and I am running vB 2.2.1 and nothing is going
wrong or anything, everything is running perfect.

[HellMind]

read my first post

i say isnt show any starts but all work perfectly but dont show anything

[bbaddons]

What is the directory that you have the 'star' images in?
Do you have them in /forums/stars?

If you have you stars in another directory other
than /forums/stars/ follow the below instructions:

(This is what I did on my board - the stars were not
appearing on my board until after I did this)

1. Look for (in stars.php):

../images/stars/$star[starimg].gif\

and change it to

path/to/images/stars/$star[starimg].gif\

2. Look for (in admin/functions.php)

../images/stars/$star[starimg].gif\

and change it to

path/to/images/stars/$star[starimg].gif\

----------------------------------------------------

Backing up would be helpful as this is what I did on my forums

----------------------------------------------------

I hope this helps you out HellMind - Let me know
