User Rating hack

[high]VERSION 2.0 RELEASED, CLICK HERE[/high]

Oke this is my very first 'released' hack and allthough its pretty simple I presonally quite like it

what this basicly does is count rating towards users when they reply or start a new thread, of course you can specify in what forums it will do this and how much rating points they will get when replying or starting a new thread, you can also TAKE rating away when a user replies or starts a thread.

In my eyes this is perfect to keep your users monitored automaticly, for example.. say you got a babes board, like rip-productions and users can request babe pix, say you withdraw 5 points each time this user requests pix of a babe so eventually he will reach 0 or even less (-10 whatever..) you can spot this way more easily and do something about it..

of course this is not entirely automated yet I am going to make this hack more advanced, so you can get certain stats (list users with rating betwean x and x.. as an example) but for now this is gonna have to do as I do not have a lot of time to work on this..

Im sure a lot of you will think this is a useless hack but hey.. I thought it would come in handy for my board so maybe others could use it aswell

anyways, to install the hack just follow the instructions in the attached file, screenshots are beneath this post.. please click the install button when you use this hack!

and BACKUP your files! allthough I have tested this hack it may still have bugs!

[Sc0rp]

dude try reading my post

- top xx in memberlist

and screenshots zip attached, though dont know what the problem is, they work fine here

[Almax1]

i asked because the memberlist bit does not show any reference to the hack
it is as it was b4

step 3:
edit memberlist.php
================================================== ==================

find:

if ($what=="topposters") {
$orderby="posts";
$direction="DESC";
}

UNDER that ADD:

-(start copying)-

if ($what=="toprated") {
$orderby="userrating";
$direction="DESC";
}

-(stop copying)-

save memberlist.php

is this all the code ??

everything else is sweet

[Almax1]

edit memberlist template maybe ??

no reference in your file :P

Do all ratings start by zero or is there a possibility to give my users the correct rating right from the start?

[Sc0rp]

almax, fixed it.. sorry for all the trouble.. I gotta make a list of what Im doing next time im writing a hack for the public Ive uploaded a fixed .txt so goodluck

MrNase, as I said there is a function to update the members rating, so yes you can give your users the correct rating from the start.. though it will run a LOT of queries.. I know there are better ways of doing this but I aint no MySQL hero.. was hoping that one of the pro's could help me out on that one

[MrNase]

i'd really like to use it but i already used v1 and my users didn't like it.
I could tell them this version runs better (it's the thruth) and all the bugs are fixed but the may feel like beeing on a playground and leave my board because they don't want to be rated.

I'll talk to my staff to find a solution but anyways: thanks for this hack, a lot of people waited a long time for this

[Sc0rp]

hmm sounds a bit weird to me, if u customize it right so that a member gets 1 rating for a reply and 3 for a thread there shouldnt be any problems imo.. its the same as having a post counter.. some ppl might not like it beacuse they dont have a lot of posts.. it represents the loyalty of your members and if they aint loyal/active then thats their problem right?

anyways its the peoples personal opinion on being rated (which represents their own activeness and loyalty 100%) I dont think there's much I can do about this

[Almax1]

thanks 4 the update m8 but u still missing a bit
no reference in your update to [top 10 rated] link
which resides in the memberlist template i think

think you may have forgotten
sorry mate 4 any hassle :P

[Sc0rp]

baah this is the most chaotic install file I made so far

find:

<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><smallfont><a href="memberlist.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&what=topposters&perpage=$memberlisttopposters"><b>Top $memberlisttopposters Posters</b></a></smallfont></td>

UNDER it ADD:

-(start copying)-

<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><smallfont><a href="memberlist.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&what=toprated&perpage=$memberlisttopposters"><b>Top $memberlisttopposters Rated</b></a></smallfont></td>

-(stop copying)-

there ya go
