vBFeedback

In my gaming site I wanted to add a type of standalone feedback section for each member sort of like a guestbook or a thread. Now I couldn't find a guestbook system that I liked until I came across the built in usernote system. While at first I thought of just using this, I wanted to also use the usernote system for the reason it was built for. So instead I modified and made a new script based on the usernote system which I'm calling vBFeedback. So basically this will allow you to give your members the ability to leave feedback for each other.

There are 9 screnshots included for you to see what this small hack will do. Please do remember if you choose to use this hack that it is as is. The codes not the greatest so if you know a better way of doing something please do let me know. Also IF I have time let me know of any problems with the hack and I'll try to find the problem since I'm trying to get all the bugs out for my site. Oh and if you find this useful do click on install and yes ... one more thing, enjoy! :nervous:

Where in showthread.php could I put

// Start vBFeedback (Edit by: Lucas)
if ((($userid == $bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $permissions['feedbackpermissions'] & CANVIEWOWNFEEDBACK) OR ($userid !=

$bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $permissions['feedbackpermissions'] & CANVIEWOTHERSFEEDBACK)) AND

$userperms['feedbackpermissions'] & CANBEUSERFEEDBACKED)
{
$show['feedbackposts'] = true;
$feedback = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS feedback FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfeedback_guestbook
WHERE feedbackid = $userinfo[userid]");
$totalfeedback = $feedback['feedback'];
}
else
{
$show['feedbackposts'] = false;
}
// End vBFeedback (Edit by: Lucas)

so I display it in postbits too?

Thanks :-)

Your welcome!

You know, with all your hacks, vbbuddies, that one etc... you have all elements of a dating site in place. All that is missing is a picture rating hack. Then everything could be incorporated into it.

[SS9267547]

Well they are all parts of my gaming community site I'm building, lol guess in a way its the same thing. There is still a user review hack and collection hack to be done for my site before I'm done with the community side of things, which I guess should be all used for a dating site too lol. With the picture rating, what do you mean by this? Like do you have an example of what you mean?

[Lionel]

sounds like you are building an interesting site.

Here is a link in German, but you'll get the idea, where members can rate members pictures.

[SS9267547]

So in other words this would be a gallery with the option to rate each image then? If so there is already an excellent hack (must pay tho) already released called vBa Gallery. I'll be using that to give my members a private gallery each since it's perfect for my needs, some changes will be made to fit my needs but anyway you should check it out, worth the money.

[Lionel]

I've got vbaGallery. It's not the same thing. It is still missing the image rating factor. You know, you click one image, then it goes on the side and the next one shows up. You cannot select all women or all men etc... to display.

But I agree with you. That gallery is very nice.

[SS9267547]

I think you could tho, I mean you could just make two folders, one women and the other men, ah then agaain it would still require some editing to prevent people from posting in both lol. You could also just try the current profile system and add an extra feild in the profile picture settings to choose gender or something like that. Lol I don't know if I'm making sense, confussing myslef haha.
