Miscellaneous Hacks - Mark User as Contributor

Mark User as Contributor
(By Boofo)

Original vB 3 version: assassingod

Thanks to assassingod for allowing me to port his hack to vBulletin 3.5 RC 2 and creating the original hack. And to Revan for teaching me about product management.

// Description:
This allows you as an Administrator to mark users if they have donated to your web site. The setting in in the Admin CP profile for each user.

You can use text/icon, whatever you want by editing the phrase. It appears in the postbit and the user's profile.

I don't see it at the footer either!

although my footer includes:
<a href="$vboptions[homeurl]">$vboptions[hometitle]</a> -
<a href="contributors.php">$vbphrase[bf2_contribs]</a> -

It just shows: Contact Us - Forumname - - Archive - Top

Maybe if you would learn to click the install button, you might get some answers once in a while.

As far as images, you will have to add your own if you want that. Right now it shows Contributor in the postbit and profile. The images are already there on the Contributors page.

I just followed your instructions in the text file. I search for 'bf2_contribs" phrase but don't see it. So we have to add "bf2_contribs" phrase manually?

Yes. I must have missed that in the xml file. Glad you caught it.

So because I didn't click install "before" I actually installed it, I was being ignored for 5 days while I was waiting for help?

Works great thanks! Clicks install.

One questions is there a way to order the list of contributors alphabetically?

Ya most of the time. I usually make them wait 2-3 months or ignore them all together.

To me its like clock work. If I download, I hit install even if I install it 3 months later.

5 days is nothing 9/10 time I could care less about people that do not follow a set standard of rules or directions.

Your lucky he took the time IMO.

contributors.php

Find:

$getusers = $db->query_read("
	SELECT `userid`, `username`, `usergroupid`, `displaygroupid`
	FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "user`
	WHERE `contrib` = '1'
");

Change:

$getusers = $db->query_read("
	SELECT `userid`, `username`, `usergroupid`, `displaygroupid`
	FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "user`
	WHERE `contrib` = '1'
	ORDER BY `username` ASC
");
