Reputation Bar for users with huge loads of the green

As the reputation system matures, you will find users quickly hitting the current limit of 1500 reputation points. You should start scaling back the numbers at that point in the admin Cpanel so that it is not distributed so quickly, but it is also useful to have the possibility of more than 1500 points.

Purpose: Remove the current limit of 1500 points and replace the dots with a solid bar of Reputation for users over 1500.

Modifications: 3 additions to functions_showthread.php and 3 new gifs.

Install Time: 10 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Screenshot attached of a user with 3800 reputation points!

cheers,

We applied the hack and our green bars and all seperated and hacked up. Any ideas?

I want to install this, but want to make sure this issue is fixed. Bump for the creator.

I just installed this and love it.

At first, I had the same problem as TWTCommish and (possibly) Club3G and I thought the instructions missed something, but after re-reading them, it seems like it's just something that may be easily overlooked.

Where it reads:

***** Below:

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

***** Add:

// Reputation Bar Hack -- START

if ($post['reputation'] > 1500) {
		$post['reputationdisplay'] .= "<img src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_reputation]/reputation_endright.gif\" border=\"0\" />";
}

// Reputation Bar Hack -- END

Perhaps some better wording would be:

***** Below:

eval('$post[\'reputationdisplay\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_reputation') . '";');

}

***** Add BELOW:

// Reputation Bar Hack -- START

if ($post['reputation'] > 1500) {
		$post['reputationdisplay'] .= "<img src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_reputation]/reputation_endright.gif\" border=\"0\" />";
}

// Reputation Bar Hack -- END

The curly brace is easily lost because in the text file, it's indented way over to the right. It makes all the difference in the world.

this was a great hack for us... but now even the bar is getting too long for some members

Is it possible to make for example a blue or gold bar for users with more then 5000 or 6000 points?

You could try this alternative ;

Thanks, but a complete new bar would make it shorter instead longer

Anyone know of anything like this for 3.7.2?
