Stars v0.2.3

Thanks to Bane there has been a complete reworking of the installation/instructions for this hack. It is now up to date for 2.0.3 and the installer runs exactly like the vB install/upgrade scripts do.

There is no demo as I don't currently use stars on my board.

For version: 2.0.3

Files needed: stars.php

Files to edit: newthread.php, newreply.php, admin/misc.php, admin/index.php, admin/usergroup.php, register.php and possibly stars.php

Templates to edit: postbit

Instructions: Upload install_starshack.php and stars.php to your admin directory. Go to example.com/admin/install_starshack.php and login, then follow the on-screen instructions.

Upgrade information: If you have previously installed the stars hack, make sure you choose the "upgrade" option on the screen mentioned in the instructions. If you have previously installed this version (using install_starshack.php), you MUST STILL use the upgrade option even if you are reinstalling or you will get database errors.

Feedback appreciated.

Shadow_Xj5: Did you run Update Counters > Users?

Tidus: What is the actual error you are getting? (View the source of the page and it should also be emailed to you).

Oliver: Download the file attached to this post, rename it to mysqlupgrade.php and run it from your admin directory. Then do the rest of the instructions - do not run mysql.php.

Hi,

got PHP4 installed from my provider and it works now - though it would be good to mention that you need PHP4.
vBulletin works on PHP3 so it's worth mentioning...

But: Now it works - great job!

Attached my stars (small and normal sized).
Here's my setup with the small stars:



I know that the number of postings is set a little bit low, but my board just recently opened...
