The mistake I did on my first install is that I just clicked on the buttons, thinking the modifcations to the various files were being done automatically. Then, when nothing showed, I did it again, but pasted in the required stuff to the files.

Everything shows now, but I get an error message when I try to post a new message or reply:

No forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

Any idea what I messed up to get this?

BTW, I am running versions 2.2.1

[Overgrow]

You can use my hack's format and features but please make your own GIF images. That way we can at least tell that it is a different 'karma' hack that the forum is running. A new name wouldn't hurt either to keep confusion down since the feature set is still quite different.

ps. Haven't you got people turbo posting blank replies for karma yet?

[Neil]

Here are some replacement "karma" dot images I just made. I hope they're different enough from Overgrow's. I have the photoshop file I made them from if that would help prove it.





If you'd like something COMPLETELY different made, just let me know. Just wanting to help out where I can!

[Overgrow]

Thanks Neil Not as different as I'd hoped but certainly enough for me. I did notice that they're not displaying karma with those GIFs on each post so it is easy to tell the hacks apart right now.

[Neil]

Here's some more that are even MORE different that folks might like to use if they like!

[certify]

I have just upload the fix readme.txt and new instructions for header and footer in adis.php

[pgowder]

Can you add a feature that gives users points for reading x number of threads?? One of my users suggested it, because she doesn't post alot.

Certify, will this new update fix my mysql connect issues?

Chris

[cditty]

I sort figured out what the problem. Still having issues though. I think it has something to do with persitant connections maybe????

Anyhow, I replaced this:

$gettotalpoint=mysql_query

with this:

$gettotalpoint=$DB_site->query_first

and the errors that pointed to those lines dissappeared. The existing errors are

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/httpd/html/sweeps/forum_dev/index.php3 on line 116

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/httpd/html/sweeps/forum_dev/index.php3 on line 123

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/httpd/html/sweeps/forum_dev/index.php3 on line 130

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/httpd/html/sweeps/forum_dev/index.php3 on line 133

And these are the lines that those point to.

line 116 - $numrows_gettotal = mysql_num_rows($gettotalpoint);
line 123 - $numrows_gettotal1 = mysql_num_rows($gettotalpoint1);
line 130 - $numrows_getagree = mysql_num_rows($getagree);
line 133 - $numrows_getdis = mysql_num_rows($getdis);
