vB Stars Hack

What Does This Hack Do?: It adds stars to your postbit based on the number of posts you have. You earn a star by Y number of posts (you can set Y in the admin control panel).
For every 10 stars (that's 10 x Y posts) you get a other color star, for 10 other color stars you get another color star, etc, you see the point (i hope, or see screenshot ).
THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE OTHER STAR HACKS THAT ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE

Screenshots:
-Postbit
-Admin CP Options

Installation: Very easy
upload the images in the zip to your imagesfolder/stars/
when you have vbhacker, you can install this hack very easily with the included vbhacker install file...
also in the zip is a text file for manual installation (if you prefer that )
after you installed the hack, please set the options in the admin cp -> vb options -> vb star hack options or else this hack won't work!

Additional Info: This hack has been tested on 2.2.9 and on 2.3.0, but as the code is very simple and works almost fully on it's own, it should work 100% correct on 2.2.x (and lower even?) but i'm not here to test that

Update Info:
-[high]24 march 2003[/high] - new version! (v1.1) new features: more options see screenshots
currently there is no way of upgrading. You'll have to re-install the hack for now...
added a nice vbhacker install file for easy installation, also in the zip is a text file if you want to do it manual
-[high]23 march 2003[/high] - bug fixed. No idea where it came from! 0_o

I like this hack, but I would like to change it slightly so that it only displays one row of stars. Say, 1 star for every 100 posts. I've messed around a little bit trying to do this, but haven't been able to get it to work properly. Any ideas? I'm not concerned with multiple color stars or anything.

I'm a bit pickier than you, unfortunately.

The version of this hack I'm looking for is one that has the multiple colors of stars available, but instead of basing them on tiers of posting, a different color star is assigned to each usergroup. (Say, for example, registered users get yellow, moderators get green, and adminstrators get red, but all groups get stars at the same rate.)

Please?

Hi there

I have now run the queries 3 times and they are still not showing up in the controlpanel. I have ofcourse also changed functions.php and the postbit.
Any ideas?

I have it on 2.3.2 and works fine, its great! Only problem is that only one row of stars shows, one member has 535 posts (set star for 50 posts) only pink shows, would like all yellow to show and pink like your attachment shows. Had it installed by another person, but would like to get it showing all rows . Any ideas?
