Enhanced Reputation Given Checks

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This adds a set of extra checks for whenever members try and give reputation to posts.


Reputation Power Cap
Sets the maximum reputation giving power for any member.

Higher Reputation Forum List
Any reputation given in the forums listed will be multiplied by the "Higher Reputation Multiply Factor".

Higher Reputation Multiply Factor
See above : Forums in the "Higher Reputation Forum List" will have any reputation given multiplied by this factor.

No Reputaion Forum List
List of Forums in which members cannot give reputation to posts.

Open Threads Limit
Posts in open threads, that are older than this limit, cannot be given reputation.

Closed Threads Limit
Posts in closed threads, that are older than this limit, cannot be given reputation.

Negative Reputation Multiply Factor
All negative reputation is multiplied by this factor (by default vb sets negative reputation to half of positive reputation).

Require Reputation Comment
Members must leave a comment in order to give a post reputation.


Points to note ;

• If a member does not have permission to give negative reputation then any negative reputation they give will be set to zero - in default vb they ended up giving positive reputation.
  
• The vb fixed admin reputation setting is multiplied by the negative reputation factor - in default vb it was the same value for both positive & negative, while everyone elses negative was half the positive value.
  
• If the negative reputation factor is 0.5 (to replicate default vb) then there will be one minor difference, a member whose positive reputation power is 1 will have a negative reputation power of 0, in default vb this would be -1.
  
• The reputation cap is checked before any multiplication factors are applied - also the Forum Multiply and Negative Multiply are cumulative (e.g. if the cap is 40, and you have a forum multiply of 3, and a negative multiply of 2, a member could give a rep of -40 * 3 * 2 = -240).
  

History:

v1.04 : Initial Public Release.
v1.05 : Fixed zero reputation bug reported by sinaluna in Post #51.
v1.06 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

Sadly I appear destined never to win a HOTM - and given that even if this qualified it would be up against two arcade hacks, I think it's rather unlikely to change that situation

Very nice and useful

[Lea Verou]

Useful hack Paul, although I think that a reputation that is member-based instead of post based would be better and members prefer it...
Why nobody has made something like that I can't understand

I'm running into a little problem...the system seems to be working, but i'm getting a parse error when i actually give rep points:


Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /../../forum/reputation.php(172) : eval()'d code on line 13

I looked at the plugin code and I didn't see it off the bat...any ideas?

[Paul M]

Line 172 of reputation.php is a call to the reputation_add_process hook - which is not made by this hack - so I think your problem is elsewhere.

[The Geek]

This looks sweet Paul. Think ill have to give this an install AND a thumbs up (now where did I put that thumb...)

Sorry, I don't understand the question.
