e-steki Karma BETA · **Released**: 03-06-2006

New version for 3.6, with a lot more features, bugfixes and better coding!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beware that this is still a BETA. This means, it may have bugs. If you want to help with the beta-testing phase, please mention what happened with this hack (if it works or not, if you encountered any bugs, if everything is ok etc) as detailed as possible.

I used quite a lot code from User Rating 1.0 by tnguy3n for this modification. Then I changed it a lot to fit my needs, and I think it's so changed that it could be released as a separate modification. I also got his permission for this

What does e-steki Karma have that User Rating 1.0 doesn't?
1. When a user votes someone for a second (or third, fourth etc) time, the new vote replaces the old instead of being added. I felt it was more fair this way.
2. There is a complete statistics page, with 7 tables that display various statistics
3. Ratings are from -5 to 5 instead of 1-10 and they are represented by images
4. The Karma of each user displays in the postbit (unless he has it turned off)
5. Users that have the Karma turned off don't count at all for the system. their votes don't count in anything, and the votes others gave them before they turned it off also don't count at all. Those users also, can't see anything that has to do with the karma system anywhere. It's like the karma does not exist for them and they don't exist for the karma. However, if they switch it on again, nothing is lost.
6. Since there are no comments, there is no possibility that the user gets a "you didn't complete all fields" error. In fact, even the phrase for it is removed.
7. The table is not placed where the hack author wants (above the footer in UR1) but where YOU want it (by inserting a small comment in the place that you want it in MEMBERINFO). This, however, means one more template change is involved.
8. There is no field that you should add via the userfield manager. This caused bugs in UR1 as you had to run a query to set all the checkboxes to 1 and new registrants had their karma turned off by default.
9. IP in who rated
10. Although they can't see who voted, they can see if they have rated a user and with what (see screenshot).

Why somebody may prefer User Rating 1.0 over e-steki Karma?
I have removed some of the user rating 1.0 features that I didn't need. Some of you may need them though, so pay a visit to User Rating's thread as well.
1. There are no comments in this hack. Nowhere. I've removed anything that has to do with comments.
2. There is no "anonymous voting". In my site, only admins see who has voted, so it's useless to us.
3. No template changes in UR1.
4. A little bit less queries and plugins (since there are less abilites in certain things) in UR1.
5. The "can rate himself" is off by default.
6. Only admins can see who voted. This is planned to be a usergroup permission in the future though.

Misc features
1. WOL location for stats
2. Fully phrased
3. Usergroup permissions

Why is it a beta?
1. Because the end product is the biggest modification I've worked on and there is a high chance I missed something
2. The permission for "Can view Stats" is not working sometimes.
3. I'm not sure how if the install code is going to give an error on an existing installation of e-steki Karma or UR1.

Planned features
1. Of course, bugfixes
2. Usergroup permission for who can see who voted. (currently only admins can see that.)
3. The stats line in memberinfo wont appear if the user does not have permission to view the stats.
4. Ignore specific usergroups from the karma (such as banned)
5. Suggest your own, as long as they keep the system as fair as possible. My main concern is that the system is fair and democratic, and this is why I made most of the changes.

Don't forget to click INSTALL if you use this or you will be damned to hell

any ideas?

p.s. there is a typo at the bitfields "Can view the Karma ststistics?" missing a "a"

Lea Verou · #6 03-07-2006, 02:40 PM

If there are no votes, the stats wont work.
I don't have time to fix it now, I'm going out to eat.
See you guys and gals!

Please write any bugs here and I'll take a look when I come back
