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 a series of bronze, silver and gold stars as the pips limit is reached.

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by gold pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the (prefix) display of stars begins - starting with the bronze stars, then silver stars and finally gold Stars. 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 red stars - however, there is only one star level for negative reputation.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of each star is limited by an ACP option (by default, 5 bronze = 1 silver, and 5 silver = 1 gold). 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.


History:

v3.7.001 : First Release for vb 3.7
v3.7.002 : Bronze and Silver stars added to make three star levels.

Installed but not working. I can't see as there are any problems with my settings in the vB Options. Any ideas?

THANKS Paul.

OT.. I tried upping the values of the pips but it didnt change the ones already given. Do I need to rebuild rep? Ifs so will that mess up the users rep count?

[Paul M]

Not sure what you changed, but the results will be instant if you change the values this uses.

[UncoderMom]

Thats what I though. Maybe I need to make it more.

[airborneCAL]

Installed but have a problem. The graphics do not display - instead for each pip a user has the text version of that level is displayed. Any help?

[Paul M]

Put the images in the correct folder on your server.

[UncoderMom]

No chance of another level? LOL even though I jacked it up like that members STILL have 20 plus stars. Insane! so now they are upset that there stars are gone and some still have a bunch. *sigh*

I need to find a way to let them spend those rep points. LOL
