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.

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.

Anyone know if these instructions are still golden with v2.2.0? It ran great for me under 2.03, BTW ... just upgraded and this is really the last hack left for me to work back in.

Cheers.

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

Thanks damicatz!

Just to be sure: Have you tested to answer/reply to a poll-thread?

That gave me parse errors on my board.
Thanks,

Replying to a poll thread doesn't give me a parse error, try rehacking your newreply.php file.

[Thomas P]

nope, still parse errors, I'll look into it tomorrow...

[Thomas P]

hmmm, dunno, still errors...

Anyone with vB 2.2.0 who installed this?

@damicatz:
Regarding your txt file - Is this the only change you did?
Thanks,
-Tom
