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.

Please DO NOT contact me via AIM, ICQ, PM, or email about this hack. Post your question/problem here and I will try to help you.

Feedback appreciated.

Well...

thats strange. To my knowledge, the strings you need to change/find/replace for this hack to work aren't part of showthread.php (at least not in my v2.0.3)

if you are on 2.0.3 you need to edit the admin/functions.php instead of showthread.php

I know it's uncomfortable to read all 10 pages to find a solution, but nevertheless necessary sometimes

So if you are on v2.0.3 you ONLY need to make that changes in admin/functions.php, NOT in showthread.php (because you would not find them there (usually ))

Users of Versions <= v2.0.2 will need to edit the showthread.php.

Maybe we got different versions of showthread.php, even if we are both on v2.0.3 ??

I can't find this in showthread.php

PHP Code:

    if ($post['receivepm'] and $enablepms==1) {
      eval("\$post[pmlink] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_sendpm")."\";");
    } else {
      $post[pmlink] = "";
    } 


I'm sorry if i misslead some of you with my direction.
i have the code in showtread.php because i had installed a hack that added that code.........i just looked in the original unedited files of vb203 and the code is not there

Good luck and i hope you get it to work as it's so much better than the other stars hack going around as you get full cp control

The code that is says to find in showthread.php is now located in admin/functions.php just find it in there and do whatever the instructions say to do to showthread.php

That should be your job.
Tubedogg provided us with his fantastic hack, the graphics is up to you - look for others or do them yourself!

Small mistake I made in the installer on line 391 and 399 should be a html comment <! -- not a php comment //
