Enhanced Reputation Given Checks

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This adds a set of extra checks for whenever members try and give reputation to posts.


Reputation Power Cap
Sets the maximum reputation giving power for any member.

Higher Reputation Forum List
Any reputation given in the forums listed will be multiplied by the "Higher Reputation Multiply Factor".

Higher Reputation Multiply Factor
See above : Forums in the "Higher Reputation Forum List" will have any reputation given multiplied by this factor.

No Reputaion Forum List
List of Forums in which members cannot give reputation to posts.

Open Threads Limit
Posts in open threads, that are older than this limit, cannot be given reputation.

Closed Threads Limit
Posts in closed threads, that are older than this limit, cannot be given reputation.

Negative Reputation Multiply Factor
All negative reputation is multiplied by this factor (by default vb sets negative reputation to half of positive reputation).

Require Reputation Comment
Members must leave a comment in order to give a post reputation.


Points to note ;

• If a member does not have permission to give negative reputation then any negative reputation they give will be set to zero - in default vb they ended up giving positive reputation.
  
• The vb fixed admin reputation setting is multiplied by the negative reputation factor - in default vb it was the same value for both positive & negative, while everyone elses negative was half the positive value.
  
• If the negative reputation factor is 0.5 (to replicate default vb) then there will be one minor difference, a member whose positive reputation power is 1 will have a negative reputation power of 0, in default vb this would be -1.
  
• The reputation cap is checked before any multiplication factors are applied - also the Forum Multiply and Negative Multiply are cumulative (e.g. if the cap is 40, and you have a forum multiply of 3, and a negative multiply of 2, a member could give a rep of -40 * 3 * 2 = -240).
  

History:

Very usefull hack!!! Good Job!

Feature REQUEST .-) : - can you adopt changes so that users will get per Forum (groups) rep. points?
Example:

WEBDESIGN SITE FORUM will have these forums>
Photoshop Forums, Corel Forums, CSS Forums, PHP Forums .... so that we can specify which topic is user's best field of interest and profesionalism...

That sounds like a very specific change for you, not something the majority need.

Anyway, there are no changes planned to this (esp as it's a 3.5 mod). Atm there are not even any plans to upgrade it to 3.6 as this will work on 3.6 as is.

Nice job Paul, it's great to see some added features for Reputation! In my opinion (along with User Notes), it's one of the often overlooked and features of vb. Nice to see an add-on for it.

I think chart with reputation given per forum would be usefull also for others. Your hack is very close to this. If you search vb.org there are some requests for this...

My community beg for it, but I am not a coder :-(

I want to show reputation links only for the forums in which reputation votes count, so I used the following code in the postbit template

	<if condition="$vboptions[noreplist]">
	<else />
		<if condition="$show['reputationlink']">
			Rep Link
		</if>
	</if>

but it didn't work. Any ideas on how to implement this?

[Paul M]

It's not as easy as that - you would need to add another plugin to the hack to check if the forum you are in allows reputation.

Thanks, Paul. I think I figured it out. I hooked

// No Reputation Link // 
$flist = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['noreplist']);  
$show['ratablelink'] = (!in_array($threadinfo['forumid'],$flist)) ? true : false;

into showthread_getinfo.

Then I put

	<if condition="$show['ratablelink']">
		<if condition="$show['reputationlink']">
			Rep Link
		</if>
	</if>

into the postbit template.
