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.

LMAO ya got that right.

I think it's a question of how you present it to em too. I'm still working it through on my test forum, but I'm thinking of combining it with a stats hack...



So they kinda get a package deal

The reason why I've removed this hack from my board after having some time to look at it and how people were using it, it seemed that it would ultimately do more harm to my board's community than good. One thing I noticed right away was that some people who got low ratings right away just turned this feature off for themselves. But my main concern, however, was that people who got low ratings might feel as if they weren't wanted, and would stop visiting my board.

Totally agree, but I had another idea to overcome the situation, instead of using Rating, I've changed to Power. Change the scale to no power as 1 to super power at 5.

The Power word is just another word, but in my opinion, it's change the whole rating idea alot, the sound creates more fun and less seriousness, intense among members. It will encourage member to turn it on (to have power bar) but also let people know the bad guy (who has no power) and he needs to do something to get his power back. Check my site and you'll see.

Btw, I'd love to see that Admin can have more control over others, like a ability to see who but also how they rated him, as well as moderators.

Just a thought,

[Littlebit]

Is it after three votes or three votes on that it is clickable to see who voted? If its 3 votes and higher, then something isn't working right with the javascript on my install. I am unable to view who voted with three votes. Could someone help me out?

You got // in front of function who(userid) { in your showthread template.
Just remove it

[Littlebit]

I removed the // in the showthread template. It works within a post, just not on members profiles...I bet I have more little //'s to get rid of eh?

[Littlebit]

All better now! <!-- --> was surrounding the getAIM plus the rate stuff in the getinfo template.
::sigh::: I'm a dork.

What should I change so moderators can't be rated?

thx 4 nice hack

I have a question, how can I make a hyperlink from the rating word to pop-up window that let user to rate other like UBB board.

The only way to rate is click profile, which not too many people know, so by making the hyperlink from rating , it would be very nice. The pop up window should contains rating option only, not other information like profile and such.

Please help Exchange or anybody that knows, I've been playing around with with getinfouser_rating but couldn't figure it out.

Here is my original file:

PHP Code:

<tr>
 <td

bgcolor="#13486D"><normalfont><b>Rating:</b></normalfont><br><img src="images/$userrating" alt="$rateuser[ratenum] Votes"><br><smallfont>$wholink</smallfont></td>
 <td bgcolor="#13486D"> <table cellspacing="0" border="0" nowrap>
  <form action="userrate.php" method="get">
    <tr>
      <td>
        <select name="userrate"
        onchange="window.location=('userrate.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&rateuser=$userid&userrate='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
          <option value="-1" selected>Rate this user:</option>
          <option value="5">Super Power</option>
          <option value="4">Strong Power</option>
          <option value="3">Normal Power</option>
          <option value="2">Weak Power</option>
          <option value="1">No Power</option>
        </select>
        <input type="image" src="images/go.gif" border="0" align="absbottom"><smallfont>&nbsp;(Last Power Rating: <b>$oldrating[old]</b>)</smallfont>
        </td>
    </tr>
  </form>
</table> </td>
</tr> 


I have tried to change to:

PHP Code:

<tr>
<td
bgcolor="#13486D"><normalfont><b><a href="userrate.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=show&rateuser">Rating</a>:</b></normalfont><br><img src="images/$userrating" alt="$rateuser[ratenum] Votes"><br><smallfont>$wholink</smallfont></td>
 <td bgcolor="#13486D"> <table cellspacing="0" border="0" nowrap>
  <form action="userrate.php" method="get">
    <tr>
      <td>
        <select name="userrate"
        onchange="window.location=('userrate.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&rateuser=$userid&userrate='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
          <option value="-1" selected>Rate this user:</option>
          <option value="5">Super Power</option>
          <option value="4">Strong Power</option>
          <option value="3">Normal Power</option>
          <option value="2">Weak Power</option>
          <option value="1">No Power</option>
        </select>
        <input type="image" src="images/go.gif" border="0" align="absbottom"><smallfont>&nbsp;(Last Power Rating: <b>$oldrating[old]</b>)</smallfont>
        </td>
    </tr>
  </form>
</table> </td>
</tr> 


Basically I've added the line <a href="userrate.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=show&rateuser">Rating</a> to make the word rating become hyperlink, but that doesn't work, anybody can help?

For example you could add sth. like this to userrate.php:

PHP Code:

elseif ($action==rate){
   eval("dooutput("".gettemplate('rateoption')."");");
} 


This would call the template rateoption where you could place your HTML code.

Sorry I don't have time at the moment to do kind of an addon, this is just an idea how it could work.
