Reputation Click Tracker

(I couldn't think of a good name for this, so there you go...)

This is a relatively simple hack that adds a box to the User CP showing a user how many reputation clicks he has given in the last 24 hours, and how many more he can give, and it also shows this information in a small graph (using the poll images). [see the screenshot]

It requires you to modify one file, one template, and add one template. Instructions are in the file named INSTALL in the ZIP archive attached to this post.

Questions, post em here. Please do not contact me privately about this hack as it will be ignored.

A bug? The following was reported by one our members who had exceeded their daily limit...

In the last 24 hours, you have given reputation to 10 posters.
This is the daily limit, so you may not give reputation again until 01-02-1970 01:00 AM.

Just tested this myself (gave reputation to 10 users) and I'm seeing the same message. Any ideas?

Easy fix.

In usercp.php find this line:
$earliest = $check['dateline'];

Move it right below $sofar++; so it's above the }, i.e.

		$sofar++;
		$earliest = $check['dateline'];
	}

Change this line:

		$nexttime = date($vboptions['dateformat'].' '.$vboptions['timeformat'], ($check['dateline']+86400));

To this:

		$nexttime = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'].' '.$vboptions['timeformat'], ($earliest+86400));

ZIP updated to v1.0.1.

Thanks for the fix tubedogg, but I have a question to ask ... isn't this true that admins have no restrictions to giving rep points? If so, then can there be a condition where if this is true, then all that shows up for admins is how many times they have given rep points?

Yes you're right...admins have no limit. However determining how many times an admin has given reputation could put a lot of load on the server, if the admin has given a lot.

A condition could be used to say "you have no limit", but I'm not sure I'd want to determine the number of times reputation has been given for the above reason.

Under the current situation, an admin is shown that he has only X amount of times that he can give Rep points. How could I fix it to show that there's no limit?

This is great. Thanks!

Correct this if i'm wrong:

<if condition="$bbusergroupid = 6">

		<td align="left" valign="top" class="alt1" width="50%">
			In the last 24 hours, you have given reputation to <b>$sofar</b> posters.<br />
			There is no daily limit for <b>admins</b>, so you may give reputation as often as you like.</td>
</if>

For non-admins:

<if condition="$bbusergroupid != 6">
		<td align="left" valign="top" class="alt1" width="50%">
			In the last 24 hours, you have given reputation to <b>$sofar</b> posters.<br />
			<if condition="$nexttime != 0">
			This is the daily limit, so you may not give reputation again until $nexttime.
			<else />
			You can give reputation to <b>$clicksremain</b> more poster<if condition="$clicksremain > 1">s</if> today.</td>
			</if>

You might want to add the 'usercp_reptracker' template to the templatecache of usercp.php to save that 1 query.

In usercp.php, find:

PHP Code:

    'usercp_reputationbits' 


REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

    'usercp_reputationbits',
    'usercp_reptracker' 


Done!
