This modification gives the user the option to choose how many reputation points to give or take when posting reputation on a post. They cannot give or take more than the number of points they have available.
When giving rep, aside from choosing if they approve or disapprove of the post and entering a comment, there is a dropdown box going from 0 to the number of rep points they have. This allows them to award or take a lower number of points than the default which uses their point value.
There is a check in place to make sure the user didn't alter the form to give or take more than the maximum value they can use. An appropriate error message is displayed.
An important thing to note about this mod is that due to a problem with Internet Explorer not being able to show the select box on top of the page when you have the ajax popups enabled, turning this mod on will override your setting for using ajax for giving reputation. It doesn't turn ajax off for anything else. The user will be taken to the default page that is used when popups are disabled if they are using Internet Explorer.
Installation: To install, unzip the product XML file, and import it to your board using the product manager in the AdminCP found under "Plugins & Products" => "Manage Products" => "Add/Import Product"
There are no templates to edit, they should be done automatically. If there is any problem with the dropdown menu showing up please let me know.
-- Where can I access the Control Panel to View and Edit the Comments??
-- How Do I Turn Off the Add-On, to be able to Use the Normal Comments System??
Thank You Very Much!! :up:
That's just a screenshot of the User Reputation Manager showing it gave 5 points, instead of the 10 it would have. It is found under "User Reputations" => "View Reputation Comments"
All this mod does is add the select box into the existing rep system so the person can choose how many points to give.
To disable that just disable the mod from the product manager and the rep system will function as normal.
The reasoning behind making this was on my board rep affects the ability to use certain programs and gain access to other areas and some users have huge amounts of rep and giving like 20 points for a simple thing to me seemed to defeat the purpose so I encourage them to give an appropriate amount of points based on what they are repping for.

Thank You Very Much drew010!! :up:
I like a lot the Displayed Form to Introduce the Reputation and the Message, and to be able to choose How Much Reputation Points to Give!! :up:
One More Question: How do I choose the Text Box instead of the Combo Box (Dropping Down Option) for the Users to Manually Introduce the Reputation Points??
Right now the mod only supports a dropdown. I was able to switch to a textbox using a Firefox addon that has the option of converting all form <select> boxes into text boxes. It is called Web Developer which can be found here
The reason I go with the drop down is because users may not know their exact rep power or what limitations they would have if there was just a text box to type in.
