Display extra 'Golden' pips when members have large reputations

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This simple modification extends the existing reputation display system into three flexible groups - dark green & light green pips (similar to the default) followed by 'golden' pips. The number and value of the pips in each group is defined by six variables in the code.

The defaults in the hack make the first 5 pips worth 100, followed by 5 pips worth 200, followed by the golden pips worth 1000 (max 10) - so ;

1 - 100 = 1 Dark green
101 - 200 = 2 Dark green
401 - 500 = 5 Dark green

501 - 700 = 5 Dark green, 1 Light green
701 - 900 = 5 Dark green, 2 Light green
501 - 1500 = 5 Dark green, 5 Light green

1501 - 2500 = 5 Dark green, 5 Light green, 1 Gold
2501 - 3500 = 5 Dark green, 5 Light green, 2 Gold

10501 - onwards = 5 Dark green, 5 Light green, 10 Gold

Negative reputations are similarly displayed in red (no gold). If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. A screenshot of someone with 5000 points is attached (note: the word "Reputation:" has been removed from our postbit display, so only pips are shown).

v1.1 Minor update: Added missing code for people who disable the display of their reputation. If you don't use or allow members to disable their display then you have nothing to worry about, otherwise just apply the modified hack. Also made the 'golden ball' slightly less dark.

v1.21 Added another level for people who exceed all the pips set in the main three levels - this displays a larger 'star' for each time they have passed the maximum allowed by the three pip levels - and then resets the pips to start again. Another star will be displayed each time they "Lap" the main levels.

O_o its not there..I don't have it.

Probably because you are not using vB 3.0.3

[Gio Takahashi]

Meh, I'm not about to upgrade to vB 3.0.3, it is *WAY* too much work to do so.

Any chance of seeing vB3.0.0 compatible hack?

Wow I suggested this in the other reputation mod and here it is!! Sweet!!

[Erwin]

Great idea!

[rookie7]

Great mod. Can you make it so that it would reset the pip and start over with 1 gold instead of adding it to the light green?

Sorry, I don't have a version of 3.0.0.

I would imagine the same (or very similar) block of code is just located in a different file, so you just need to find and replace it.

Probably, I'll have a look later to see if it's easy to modify, i'm a bit busy atm.

Edit;

Under ;

$repval = $post['reputation'];

Add ;

$cutoff = ($repval > (($band_a_val * $band_a_count) + ($band_b_val * $band_b_count))) ;


Change the Band a & b eval statements to ;

if (!$cutoff) { eval('$post[\'reputationdisplay\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_reputation') . '";'); }


Be warned that this will make larger negative reputations look a bit odd as they don't have a third colour equivelent to 'gold'.

Thank you for answering my request. I'm a bit slow so...could you please tell me what you mean by

Find ;

$posneg = $repa;

replace the next line with ;

if (!$cutoff) { eval('$post[\'reputationdisplay\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_reputation') . '";'); }


and again, find ;

$posneg = $repb;

and replace the next line with ;

if (!$cutoff) { eval('$post[\'reputationdisplay\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_reputation') . '";'); }
