Stars hack?

Anybody got a good 100% working on vbb2.0.1 stars hack?

Visit the Code Hacks forum, RELEASES 2.x

There is a post by tubedogg, he made a working vbb 2.0.0 starhack, that also will work with vbb 2.0.1

If you want only some stars as a post counter then you don't need a special hack. vB has all except the stars graphics.

Create User Titles with this text

<img src="{imagesfolder}/star.gif" alt=""><br>User Title

That's it.

Additionally you can define User Titles as above for usergroups which will override the User Title setting. Not to forget the User Title for special users.

There are so many possibilities you just need to explore.

I added the text, but the stars will not appear under the users' names. They appear in the control panel when you look at the user titles however.

are you grabbing the stars from the smilie section, or the avatar file, or just the plain images file?

showthread, in the post bit area, will not allow bbcode unless you make a change to the code in showthread, or 2.03 functions.
If your stars are in the smiley section, and named as smiley code, they wont show up in the postbit area.

Maybe its as simple as adding something more to your image path.


try adding your forum in there...(whatever name the folder is..usually vb though)

/vb/images/star1.gif

if you are using the stars from the rate thread images, there is no "star.gif" it is 0star.gif 1star.gif...etc.....

so try
<img src="vb/images/0star.gif" alt=""><br>User Title

Other than that, couldnt tell ya what the deal is...
