Donation Add-on to Points System Hack

Hey guys members of my forums kept asking me if they can donate to each other and the mods had to spend times adding and substracting and it got annoying. I made this that some sites I know are already using. It allows members to donate points to each other.

Demo: www.otakuforums.com go there and register then go to any post and click the "donate" button under any of the users posts.

Enjoy and please rate!

^^ word... but nice hack

Can't you make this work with referrals systems? So users can donate their gained referral points to other users ?

Can anyone figure out how to address the GIVER and the RECEIVER by username for this hack?

At the donation page (the donation template) ... I would like to say

"Welcome (THE GIVER USERNAME), you wish to donate to (THE RECEIVER USERNAME). Is that correct? If not, press your back key now."

This should be easy right? I can't make it work ... any suggestions ...
$bbuserinfo[userid] $bbuserinfo [olduser], etc., don't work.

The only thing I can get it to do is to display the giver and receiver account number (olduser/newuser) ... but I can't figure out how to translate this into a username.

Is this hack still being supported? Can you add PM notification to the person recieving the donation? Maybe even to the person doing the donating?

do same in newthread.php and newreply.php

find:

PHP Code:

      // update user stuff
      $dotitle="";
      if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) 


and below that put

PHP Code:

        // START Update GOLD
  $userpointstr = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT field5 FROM userfield WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
  $pointstr = $userpointstr[field5];
  $gold = $pointstr + 4;
  $DB_site->query("UPDATE userfield SET field5='$gold' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
  // END Update GOLD 


REMEMBER TO CHANGE "field5" to the freld of your points

would there be any way to turn this around?
take away 2 points whenever the user posts? but this only when posting in a specific forum?
I need this for an RPG ... and it's gonna be energy level ... so this will only show in the RPG forum and I also just want points taken away when posting in there

anyone could please help me with this?
