Stars v0.2.3

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.

Feedback appreciated.

The stars appear, but there is still the missing Title underneath $[userprofile]. Anyone knows the code to insert it between $[userprofile] and the star?

Hey Tubedog... very nice hack! I installed this a few weeks ago and everything went off without a hitch!

Here's something you may want to update in your stars hack distribution...Show stars on announcements page. I'm using v2.0.3 but should work on v2.0.x

Open announcement.php (NOT admin/announcement.php)

find:

PHP Code:

  if ($post[receivepm]) {
       eval("\$post[pmlink] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_sendpm")."\";");
  } else {
       $post[pmlink] = "";
  } 


Below it add:

PHP Code:

  $sli = 0;
  while ($sli < $post[starlevel]) {
    $post[stars] .= "<img src=\"images/stars/$post[starimg].gif\" border=\"0\">";
    ++$sli;
  } 


In announcebit template add $post[stars] where you want the stars to appear.


That's it! Now the stars of those who put up announcements will show under their usertitle when viewing the announcement.

Not sure what you are talking about?

Stars do not show up in profiles...
Do you have a link to what you are talking about?
But thier title in the profile is were it says
Status: it has their title and avatar.

If you click on any post, you will see the stars and the title. However, for Announcements, there is no Title and Stars. I have implemented the hack by AJR to add the stars, but now need to make it look like the normal post with the Title.

So you want the stars and title to show up in the announcements?


I took a different approach to this, and removed all the user details from the announcements..

EX: http://forums.yourhostsucks.com/anno...hp?&forumid=14

So I would not be able to test how to add the stars/tiles, as I have removed all information..

Sounds like a nice feature/edit for people to have,
if they want it. Maybe someone else can help you with this..

Good Luck!

Nice implementation. I got the stars working, now I need is the Title under the USerName.

Umm...I'm getting this error message in my usergroup.php file.

Parse error: parse error in /home/garylaw/public_html/forums/admin/usergroup.php3 on line 228

That's the exact line the words cpfooter(); are on.

Installed, and it works great! Good job!

What's wrong?

Did you add the stars through the admin cp?
