User Ratings

This is a simple User Rating System, I hope you guys like it.

Features:

• Rate another User 1 to 5 points.
• Users can see how they rated a user before
• Votes are updated to avoid cheating
• Users can see who rated them but not how (works like the whoposted stuff)

Anyway
BACKUP YOUR DATABASE and ENJOY

German version available in my forums.

Easy.

In userrate.php, find:

PHP Code:

} elseif ($rateduser[allowrate]==0) {
            eval("standarderror("".gettemplate("error_norate")."");");
            exit; 


Underneath, add:

PHP Code:

} elseif ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == $rateduser[userid]) {
            eval("standarderror("".gettemplate("error_samerate")."");");
            exit; 


Then, add a new template called:

error_samerate

with this contents:

You are not allowed to rate yourself! Press the back button to return to where you were.

Done!

I tried this, Erwin, but I'm getting a parse error with this line, and I'm not sure why...

} elseif ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == $rateduser[userid]) {

? That looks ok to me?

Make sure there is a } underneath. You must have deleted the } by accident.

Eh, I thought it was still in there. In any case, I appreciate the help but as I thought about it more, I realized that the person who said before that some users might take it the wrong way and seem like they aren't wanted had a point. I wouldn't want to alienate anyone, so I removed it, at least for now.

Has anyone worked out how to ONLY allow Mods or Admins (or other user groups) to rate users.

I would like to add this system to our board, where existing Mods can start rating users who could potentialy become future mods after being rated well by a few others.

Can anyone help?

Hello BrAinZ,
i had the same problem

but very easy to resolve :

just confine the code of the modified files (4 locations to edit) in such conditionnal :

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
...
...the code in the instructions..
...
}

and this system will be invisible to all except your mods and you, the admin.

sorry crappy english

Nice one.. thanks, I'll give it a go then.

Hello.

I am looking to see what we can do to get teh top 5 user rated members on the forum home or on the main page of the site. How can we call this type of information? This would be a great addition. Having the top 5 members rated on the forum homepage. I like it alot. Top 5 or Top 3 or Top 2 or whatever.. you know?
