Anniversary Awards

This mod is based on something Smoker did for his community at www.smokers-board.de

To see what it does you should read this thread at vbulletin.org

This hack will add +1 star for every year a user is registered. If you have users which are registered for 1 year they will have 1 star next to their username.. Users who are registered for 4 years will have 4 stars and so on.

Here are the instructions and Iam sorry I can't post them as a *.txt but I need this thread to explain how everything works.

Edit your template ?postbit? and find:

class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>


Now add under that:
<if condition="$jointime > 1825"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" /></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 1460"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" /></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 1095"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" /></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 730"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" /></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 365"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" /></if>

Save it.
Now you just have to upload the attached image to images/misc and you should be fine.

Explanation:
$jointime holds the days a user is registered. A simple example for a user who registered for more than a year (in this case 377 days):
<if condition="377 > 365"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif"></if>

This condition is true (377 is larger than 365) and he gets one star
Same if he is registered for more than 3 years (let's say 1099 days):
<if condition="1099 > 1095"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif"></if>
<if condition="1099 > 730"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif"></if>
<if condition="1099 > 365"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif"></if>

In that case all three conditions are true and he gets 3 stars Simple isn't it?

You may even use different images like a blue star for the third year, a red one for the second year and so on.


Have fun and don't forget -> Smoker did most of the work

I seen something like this on a board I visit but they do it differently, on the 6 month they give a light colored star then on a year a bright colors star. Year and a half a bright one and a light one...

Would it be hard to make this do that?

[shadiguy1]

so then just change the dates. i did mine to 3 months then 6 months then 1 year then 2 years then 3 years.

[hbalagh1]

nice little mod... :banana:
i would like to know though

i have this below and would like to know how i can automatically turn the 3 month star into the 6 month star then the 6th into the annual and after the annual it just ads the stars like to original code is desisgned for?

<if condition="$jointime > 1825"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" alt="Anniversary Star"/></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 1460"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" alt="Anniversary Star"/></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 1095"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif"alt="Anniversary Star" /></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 730"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" alt="Anniversary Star"/></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 365"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star.gif" alt="Anniversary Star"/></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 183"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star2.gif" alt="6 Months Star"/></if>
<if condition="$jointime > 92"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/star3.gif"alt="3 Months Star"/></if>

Anyone know how to make this work with 3.5?

[Overlord]

I was searching around for the very same thing.. the $jointime variable was obviously changed in 3.5

[hbalagh1]

anyone for 3.5

[Kirk Y]

Just make a new plugin for 'postbit_display_start' with the following:

$jointime = (TIMENOW - $this->post['joindate']) / 86400;
