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.

Please DO NOT contact me via AIM, ICQ, PM, or email about this hack. Post your question/problem here and I will try to help you.

Feedback appreciated.

Read my post, just 4-5 posts back. This should fix this problem. Read a bit further up, to fix another problem that is a bit "hidden". i.e. no errors, but new users will have trouble.

Step 4 of 4 find:

Should be:

replace

I haven't checked if they're all like that, I just check files when the sh*t hits the fan.

There is what I need but I need to know what I need to replace it...???

tamarian · #**184** 09-07-2001, 04:03 AM

Replace it with the the code specified in the "add". The documentation is accurate accept for two mistakes where it says add instead of replace.

LuBi · #**185** 09-07-2001, 04:44 AM

tam your doing a great thing but your instructions are a bit confusing, include the code so we may copy and paste what your talking about.

tamarian · #**186** 09-07-2001, 05:10 AM

LuBi,

It would be very confusing if I include the code, since it would depend if if it's pre hack or post hack.

But I'll assume you already followed the instructions according to the instructions in the hack.

In this case, two changes need to be made:

A) In the register.php changes

Step 2.2

PHP Code:


			
// Stars Hack

//  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,username,password,email,".$newstylefield."parentemail,coppauser,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,signature,adminemail,showemail,invisible,usertitle,joindate,cookieuser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,usergroupid,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receivepm,emailonpm,options,birthday,maxposts,startofweek,ipaddress,pmpopup,referrerid,nosessionhash) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($username))."','".addslashes($password)."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',".$newstyleval."'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."','$coppauser','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."','".addslashes($signature)."','$adminemail','$showemail','$invisible','".addslashes($usertitle)."','".time()."','$cookieuser','".addslashes($prunedays)."','".time()."','".time()."','$newusergroupid','".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."','$emailnotification','$receivepm','$emailonpm','$options','".addslashes($birthday)."','".addslashes($umaxposts)."','".addslashes($startofweek)."','".addslashes($ipaddress)."','$pmpopup','".addslashes($testreferrerid['userid'])."','$nosessionhash')");

// Stars Replaced Code

  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,username,password,email,".$newstylefield."parentemail,coppauser,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,signature,adminemail,showemail,invisible,usertitle,joindate,cookieuser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,usergroupid,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receivepm,emailonpm,options,birthday,maxposts,startofweek,ipaddress,pmpopup,referrerid,nosessionhash,starlevel,starimg) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($username))."','".addslashes($password)."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',".$newstyleval."'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."','$coppauser','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."','".addslashes($signature)."','$adminemail','$showemail','$invisible','".addslashes($usertitle)."','".time()."','$cookieuser','".addslashes($prunedays)."','".time()."','".time()."','$newusergroupid','".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."','$emailnotification','$receivepm','$emailonpm','$options','".addslashes($birthday)."','".addslashes($umaxposts)."','".addslashes($startofweek)."','".addslashes($ipaddress)."','$pmpopup','".addslashes($testreferrerid['userid'])."','$nosessionhash','$userstarlvl','$userstarimg')");

// Stars Hack End

Simply comment out, or delete the line above it:

PHP Code:


			
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,username,password,email,".$newstylefield."parentemail,coppauser,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,signature,adminemail,showemail,invisible,usertitle,joindate,cookieuser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,usergroupid,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receivepm,emailonpm,options,birthday,maxposts,startofweek,ipaddress,pmpopup,referrerid,nosessionhash) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($username))."','".addslashes($password)."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',".$newstyleval."'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."','$coppauser','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."','".addslashes($signature)."','$adminemail','$showemail','$invisible','".addslashes($usertitle)."','".time()."','$cookieuser','".addslashes($prunedays)."','".time()."','".time()."','$newusergroupid','".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."','$emailnotification','$receivepm','$emailonpm','$options','".addslashes($birthday)."','".addslashes($umaxposts)."','".addslashes($startofweek)."','".addslashes($ipaddress)."','$pmpopup','".addslashes($testreferrerid['userid'])."','$nosessionhash')");

B) In the usergroup.php

Step 4 of 4:

PHP Code:


			
// Stars Hack

/*  $DB_site->query("UPDATE usergroup SET title='".addslashes($title)."',usertitle='".addslashes($usertitle)."',cancontrolpanel=$cancontrolpanel,canmodifyprofile=$canmodifyprofile,canviewmembers=$canviewmembers,canview=$canview,cansearch=$cansearch,canemail=$canemail,canpostnew=$canpostnew,canmove=$canmove,canopenclose=$canopenclose,candeletethread=$candeletethread,canreplyown=$canreplyown,canreplyothers=$canreplyothers,canviewothers=$canviewothers,caneditpost=$caneditpost,candeletepost=$candeletepost,canusepm=$canusepm,canpostpoll=$canpostpoll,canvote=$canvote,canpostattachment=$canpostattachment,ismoderator=$ismoderator,canpublicedit=$canpublicedit,canpublicevent=$canpublicevent,canthreadrate=$canthreadrate,cantrackpm=$cantrackpm,candenypmreceipts=$candenypmreceipts,maxbuddypm=$maxbuddypm,maxforwardpm=$maxforwardpm,canwhosonline=$canwhosonline,canwhosonlineip=$canwhosonlineip WHERE usergroupid=$usergroupid"); */

// Stars Hack Code

  $DB_site->query("UPDATE usergroup SET title='".addslashes($title)."',usertitle='".addslashes($usertitle)."',starlevel='$starlevel',starimg='$starimg',cancontrolpanel=$cancontrolpanel,canmodifyprofile=$canmodifyprofile,canviewmembers=$canviewmembers,canview=$canview,cansearch=$cansearch,canemail=$canemail,canpostnew=$canpostnew,canmove=$canmove,canopenclose=$canopenclose,candeletethread=$candeletethread,canreplyown=$canreplyown,canreplyothers=$canreplyothers,canviewothers=$canviewothers,caneditpost=$caneditpost,candeletepost=$candeletepost,canusepm=$canusepm,canpostpoll=$canpostpoll,canvote=$canvote,canpostattachment=$canpostattachment,ismoderator=$ismoderator,canpublicedit=$canpublicedit,canpublicevent=$canpublicevent,canthreadrate=$canthreadrate,cantrackpm=$cantrackpm,candenypmreceipts=$candenypmreceipts,maxbuddypm=$maxbuddypm,maxforwardpm=$maxforwardpm,canwhosonline=$canwhosonline,canwhosonlineip=$canwhosonlineip WHERE usergroupid=$usergroupid");

// Stars Hack End

Simply delete or comment out the line above it:

PHP Code:


			
$DB_site->query("UPDATE usergroup SET title='".addslashes($title)."',usertitle='".addslashes($usertitle)."',cancontrolpanel=$cancontrolpanel,canmodifyprofile=$canmodifyprofile,canviewmembers=$canviewmembers,canview=$canview,cansearch=$cansearch,canemail=$canemail,canpostnew=$canpostnew,canmove=$canmove,canopenclose=$canopenclose,candeletethread=$candeletethread,canreplyown=$canreplyown,canreplyothers=$canreplyothers,canviewothers=$canviewothers,caneditpost=$caneditpost,candeletepost=$candeletepost,canusepm=$canusepm,canpostpoll=$canpostpoll,canvote=$canvote,canpostattachment=$canpostattachment,ismoderator=$ismoderator,canpublicedit=$canpublicedit,canpublicevent=$canpublicevent,canthreadrate=$canthreadrate,cantrackpm=$cantrackpm,candenypmreceipts=$candenypmreceipts,maxbuddypm=$maxbuddypm,maxforwardpm=$maxforwardpm,canwhosonline=$canwhosonline,canwhosonlineip=$canwhosonlineip WHERE usergroupid=$usergroupid");

IF the line "above it" that I mentioned is not there, you're o.k. and it should work fine.

I haven o clue what you mean. But now when people join it doesn't make dups but after they register it says error and refresh to them, then it says member name already in use. How can I fix this and what might the problem be.

You cannot find the dups through vb, you only see it in the user table through mysql or phpmysql. And yes, your symptoms are exactly like mine before I corrected the installation as indicated above.

If you have no clue what I mean or the fixes that have been listed, I strongly recommend you un-install this hack, and bring the file back as they were before. There's no point adding bells and whistles, with the forum screwd up

mADmAX` · #**189** 09-09-2001, 01:41 AM

I am having the same problems with this hack also...

The register page says there is an error in the database and then I hit refresh and it says someone has already registered with this address. Its in the database but not in VB?!?

The usergroup page parse's out on me. I have checked all settings a thousand times and everything is as stated throughout these post and the installation file...

mADmAX` · #**190** 09-09-2001, 02:03 AM

Here is a copy of the email I get:

Database error in vBulletin: Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO userfield (userid,field1,field2,field3,field4) VALUES (,'','','','') mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ''','','','')' at line 1 mysql error number: 1064
