Display extra 'Golden' pips when members have large reputations

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This simple modification extends the existing reputation display system into three flexible groups - dark green & light green pips (similar to the default) followed by 'golden' pips. The number and value of the pips in each group is defined by six variables in the code.

The defaults in the hack make the first 5 pips worth 100, followed by 5 pips worth 200, followed by the golden pips worth 1000 (max 10) - so ;

1 - 100 = 1 Dark green
101 - 200 = 2 Dark green
401 - 500 = 5 Dark green

501 - 700 = 5 Dark green, 1 Light green
701 - 900 = 5 Dark green, 2 Light green
501 - 1500 = 5 Dark green, 5 Light green

1501 - 2500 = 5 Dark green, 5 Light green, 1 Gold
2501 - 3500 = 5 Dark green, 5 Light green, 2 Gold

10501 - onwards = 5 Dark green, 5 Light green, 10 Gold

Negative reputations are similarly displayed in red (no gold). If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. A screenshot of someone with 5000 points is attached (note: the word "Reputation:" has been removed from our postbit display, so only pips are shown).

v1.1 Minor update: Added missing code for people who disable the display of their reputation. If you don't use or allow members to disable their display then you have nothing to worry about, otherwise just apply the modified hack. Also made the 'golden ball' slightly less dark.

v1.21 Added another level for people who exceed all the pips set in the main three levels - this displays a larger 'star' for each time they have passed the maximum allowed by the three pip levels - and then resets the pips to start again. Another star will be displayed each time they "Lap" the main levels.

In the hack code, place this line

PHP Code:

if ($repval > 0) $post['reputationdisplay'] .= "<br />"; 


below this line ;

PHP Code:

$count = $band_b_count; 


and also below this line ;

PHP Code:

$count = $band_c_count;

Sorry to bump an old thread, but ws wondering:

Paul, is there anyway to make this work with vB 3.5? (I don't mind editing files, using plug-ins, or both.)

There will be a 3.5 version of this released - it's working on my test system - but not ready for release yet.

Yes.

It needs a new hook adding otherwise a file edit is required. I have requested this hook but until the next version comes out I won't know if it's been added.

It is tempting to release it anyway, but that means upgrading it later ......

great hack, thanks

[Hastin]

Did it as a file edit, and got it working. Just had to change a term.
