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.
Originally posted by Thomas P Installing the hack using the upgrade option worked fine with 2.2.0, but I couldn't find step 3 in admin/misc.php and step of of admin/index.php for the moment- so I couldn't alter the settings... but it works.

the part in admin/misc.php only changes update user titles to update user titles and stars so that isn't really needed.
I took a look at the hack's instructions and compared it to the 2.2.0 index file and it appears some of the functions have changed.
I have attached a file that has instructions for getting Tubedogg's Stars hack to work with 2.2.0
Originally posted by LuBi Has anyone got this on 2.2 as of yet?
I have it works perfectly on my 2.2 board. Note that if you follow instruction as 2.0.3, there is a serious missing error in register.php, and that's the md5 password encrypt missing in 2.2.0. Without md5 in register.php, your members will NOT be able to log back on once they logged out. It took me 2 whole days to firgue it out.
that looks like some sort of formatting mark to me (same as the 'paragraph mark 2 lines above that...
what software are you using?
also, that doesn't look like anything that is related to the stars hack code, the original code that tubedogg gave you is for 2.0.3 and is in need of updating for 2.2.0 so look closely when you install it, if you need help getting the code to work, send me your file (preferably as it is before you add any star code) and I can see about giving you a hand.

P.S. remember that just the tiniest mistake, can produce a huge error, check your code!
I got it working, but I wasn't aware of this code needing to be updated I thought it was. In any case I think I'll be going without it anyhow, but thanks.
