Show Thread Enhancements - Extended Reputation Display

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This hack extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then a series of bronze, silver and gold stars as the pips limit is reached.

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by gold pips.

When the limit these can display is reached, the (prefix) display of stars begins - starting with the bronze stars, then the silver stars and finally the gold Stars. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and red stars - however, there is only one star level for negative reputation.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of each star is limited by an ACP option (by default, 5 bronze = 1 silver, and 5 silver = 1 gold). The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings.

A line break can be inserted after the stars. The extended display system can be enabled/disabled in the options.

All options are in ACP > Options > Extended Reputation

To install just download and unzip the files and follow the instructions in the text file.

Is there any plugin which shows the rep pips as greyed out until they are filled in green? I would rather see 11 grey pips and have them fill in one by one as people level up.

Thanks.

[Paul M]

Nope, never seen such a mod.

[chaz7979]

I guess I could simply create 11 new images with all 11 pips and the appropriate ones greyed out or "inactive." Probably the way it should have been done to begin with. I see something similar was done with VB5.

Just had the time to dig in an fix this but I quickly noticed that a single pip is served for each level of increasing rep... what a terrible way to code! Now when a user reaches level 11 there are 10 extra http requests for that one user. This could mean hundreds of extra http requests per page depending on your users and their rep, very inefficient.

Pulling one image and having an image for each potential case would create a much lighter load. Even better... create the pips with html and css so there are no additional http requests.
