Show Thread Enhancements - Extended Reputation Display

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This hack extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then golden stars as the pips limit is reached.

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by 'golden' pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the display is prefixed by a golden Star, and started again. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and stars.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of stars in unlimited. The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings in the vboptions > reputation options. A line break can be inserted after the stars. The extended display system can be enabled/disabled in the options.

Just follow the install instructions in the zip file to install this product.

Hi, I installed this xml, i mean uploaded it but shouldn't there be extra options in the user reputation in my admin cp ? like these for example ?

I don't see any additional options that were added like for example set 2 green bars = may be 25 rep points etc.. ?

enable system
default rep
reutation undefined
number of reputation ratings to display
adminisartors reputation power
Regsister date factor

If installed correctly then the options should appear.

So yes, such a thing may make it into the code at some point - but as for 10 stars - maybe you need to review your point value settings slightly.

I ran into this problem on my site. With the exisiting plugin, we were set to have 5 of each pip which translated into a total of 15 stars being displayed. That was too many plus it didn't show more if the user earned more reputation.

I modified the plugin so that if the user gets more than x (say 10) stars, after the stars a [+x] will appear to show how many stars above 10 the user has earned. The attachment shows a real life example of what it looks like.

I made these changes to the plugin:

look for this code:

PHP Code:

                $repa = 'green';
                $repb = 'greenh';
                $repc = 'gold';
                $repx = 'goldstar';
            }
            $count = $linemax_cnt; 


REPLACE the $count = $linemax_cnt; with

PHP Code:

                // next lines from Brent, begin section I
                        $goldstar_num = floor($repval/$linemax_val);
                        $goldstar_show = 10;

                          if ($goldstar_num < $goldstar_show)
                          {
                            $count = $goldstar_num;
                            $extra = 0;
                          } else {
                            $count = $goldstar_show;
                            $extra = $goldstar_num - $goldstar_show;
                          }
                        // end of Brent section I 


AFTER:

PHP Code:

            while ($count > 0 and $repval > $linemax_val) 
            {
                $count -= 1;
                $repval -= $linemax_val;
                $posneg = $repx;
                $linemax_exd += 1;
                eval('$post[\'reputationdisplay\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_reputation') . '";');
            } 


ADD:

PHP Code:

    // added by Brent to show [x] after medals
            if ($extra > 0)
            {
                $post['reputationdisplay'] .= " [+".$extra."]";
                $repval -= $extra * $linemax_val;
            }
              // end of Brent change 2 


Change $goldstar_show to how many stars you want to display.

hi Paul! , i used to have this hack installed in my VB 3.6.4, recently we update to 3.6.7, after the update, we uninstall all hacks.
now i install the hack again. but it doesn´t work :S

[Paul M]

It works on any 3.6 version, so you must have a local problem.

[ePrOmD]

tks paul, for answering my post. actually is working without problems! :tup:

[RockStrongo]

This is the first mod I've installed and I love it! On my forum the users think that reputation is more powerful than a Pulitzer Prize and now that they have a visual representation of their cyber-greatness then it just makes the forum that much more fun!

Thanks!

installed, but I can see any icon display.
