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.

floridaideal,
I'll see if I can help.
First, what vB ver are you using.

Thank you very much catocom2

I am running version 2.2.8, the hack seems to still be working ok on my forum but the usergroups and registration didnt work, so I replaced both files with the original files and it seems to work but still not happy about doing that, would rather edit the files to work properly.

Does anyone please have the stars txt file so I can check over the files again please?

Thanks

Stuart

Here's the install file that I just quick converted for you to html.
It's not pretty, but I think you can read it enough to get the info
that you need.

Thanks Catocom2

Thats great, but I just edited usergroups again and still getting this error :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/virtual/site76/fst/var/www/html/forum/admin/usergroup.php on line 239

Just attached my usergroups file, can you please take a look?

Thank you again

Stuart

There may be another place, and I not sure of the differences
in 2.2.8 and 2.3.0, but..
on line 178 (i think) you might need to add the attachment thing.

where this is.. (close to the end of the line)

PHP Code:

canwhosonlineip=$canwhosonlineip WHERE 


change to..

PHP Code:

canwhosonlineip=$canwhosonlineip,cangetattachment=$cangetattachment WHERE 


I think there may be another place too, Sorry my mem isn't so good.

Where ever you are supposed to change that long line you need to make that change.

Thanks again for all your help Catocom2 but unfortunitly that didnt work either

Got this error Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/virtual/site76/fst/var/www/html/forum/admin/usergroup.php on line 239

It wont let me Add | Modify any Usergroups

Its just something out, can't be too much, just can't work it out, spend the last hour looking over it.

Have attached the file again for all those clever VB'ers out there.

Thanks you.

I installed this hack, and did all the changes!

Now when I click Add and fill in all the info and then click submit I get a blank screen.

What did I do wrong?

P.S I am not to good with php, but I am trying

i installed this and it works perfectly fine. my only problem is that i set admins to 6 start (custom color) and mods to 5 stars (red) and it either shows 2 yellow stars or none at all.

my regular posters get the correct amount of stars based on posts but admins / mods only get 2 yellow stars

[DarkDraco07]

btw, i temporarily changed the amount of stars admins / mods get by editing my users table in my database until someone helps me
