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.

Im useing vB2.2.6 and thus for have only run into 2 errors during the install - listed below is how I corrected it for vB2.2.6 :

Original Version
admin/index.php
Step 1 of 1 find:
<tr><td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" id="navtable">
<?php maketableheader("User Titles"); ?>
</table>
<a href="usertitle.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=add"> Add </a> |
<a href="usertitle.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=modify"> Modify </a>
</td></tr>
Just under that add:
<!-- Stars Hack -->
<tr><td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" id="navtable">
<?php maketableheader("User Stars"); ?>
</table>
<a href="stars.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=add"> Add </a> |
<a href="stars.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=modify"> Modify </a>
</td></tr>
<!-- Stars Hack End -->

Corrected Version
Find In Admin/index.php:
makenavselect("Users");
// ***
Add Below that:
makenavoption("Add","stars.php?action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","stars.php?action=modify");
makenavselect("Stars Hack");
// ***

and:

Original Version
admin/misc.php
Step 3 of 3 find:
maketableheader("Update Users Info</b> - </b>updates user titles<b>","",0);
Replace That With:
// Stars Hack
maketableheader("Update Users Info</b> - </b>updates user titles and stars<b>","",0);
// Stars Hack End

Corrected Version
admin/misc.php
Step 3 of 3 find:
maketableheader("Update User's Titles","",0);
Replace That With:
// Stars Hack
maketableheader("Update User's Titles and Stars","",0);
// Stars Hack End

I too was able to install the stars on 226 & so far I see no problems.

The only alterations from the install srcipt I used were the ones posted by Bro_Joey_Gowdy a few posts up.

Additionally, One or 2 of the other modifications to the scripts didn't match evactly, but I replaced them anyway, and as I said, everything seems to be working perfectly.

As always, just be wise and back up your database & modified files before hand in the event of a problem. :squareeyed:

The hack works on my test board, so that's one step better than where I was before Now I'll just have to figure out which hacks is clashing with the stars one :ermm:
