Public Display of Affection (reputation display)

Allow your users to easily "agree" or "disagree" with a post-- rather than having them make a whole new post, you can simply use the existing reputation system.. which is meant for exactly this purpose.

Purpose: This hack makes each post's reputation visible to everyone. You can turn this on and off per forum.

Modifications: 2 additions to admincp/forum.php, 2 template additions, 1 query

Install Time: 10 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

OK I looked over the install routine and I didn't see anything that would prevent it from working in 3.0.1 or 3.0.2; nothing much has changed.

If you're using postbit_legacy, did you make that change during the install?

"Alter template 'postbit', BELOW:"

Did you take that line in the instructions and instead alter postbit_legacy ?

Hello,

installed everything as explained, but I get this error-message when I try to read a thread:

Datenbankfehler in vBulletin 3.0.2:

Ungueltige SQL-Abfrage: SELECT reputation.reputation,reputation.whoadded,reputati on.reason,user.username
FROM vb_reputation
LEFT JOIN vb_user ON reputation.whoadded=user.userid
WHERE reputation.reputation!=0 AND postid='22'
mysql error: Unknown table 'reputation' in field list

mysql error number: 1109

Iam using a tableprefix.

Any suggestions?

Figured out the problem. Prefixes missing o_O

*install*

Finally got around to installing this. This is exactly what I wanted.

I added this to the postbit_fuction template to show the rep only to the perosn that made the post. A compromise between those who wanted it and those who didnt.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == $post['userid']">

I'm having this same problem and I'm using a table prefix also.

What'd you do to fix this? :nervous:

[robertuss]

[dndog]

Not meaning to seem impatient, but its been 12 days. Can someone help me?

Is there an SQL Query that can be used to turn it on on all boards?

Hey guys,

I installed this on our forums, and wouldnt you know that our users found a vulnerability almost right away.

Seems that if the users put any HTML or JAVA code inside the comments, it actually renders when the page loads. For example:

Rich agrees: Sounds good <script>alert('hi');</script>

Makes a java window pop open and say hi...

Im sure I dont have to tell you what a malicious hacker can do with something like this.

So, I'd propose this fix to the existing code. Inside the functions_showthread.php, find this code:

			// START PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION hack			
			if ($forum['showaffection'])
			{
				$post['affection']="";
				$repcount=0;
				if ($reps = $DB_site->query("SELECT reputation.reputation,reputation.whoadded,reputation.reason,user.username 
											FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "reputation 
											LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ON reputation.whoadded=user.userid 
											WHERE reputation.reputation!=0 AND postid='".$post['postid']."'"))
				{
					while ($rep = $DB_site->fetch_array($reps))
					{
						eval('$post[\'affectionbits\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_affectionbit') . '";');
						$repcount++;
					}
					if ($repcount)
					{
						//echo "2";
						eval('$post[\'affection\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_affection') . '";');
					} 
					else
					{	
						//echo "3";
						$post['affection']="";
					}
				}
			}
			// END PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION hack

BEFORE the line:

eval('$post[\'affectionbits\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_affectionbit') . '";');

Add this code:

// Fix for HTML entities
$rep[reason] = htmlentities($rep[reason]);

That will protect us from this issue.

Other than that, this is a great hack. Im using it on 3.0.6 on 5 forums...
