Tired of waiting for 2.0? Me too. I dunno if I'm even gonna upgrade, way too much work for how much benefit?

Sooooo I wrote my own karma hack this evening. For version 1.whatever. You can see it in action:

http://www.overgrow.com/edge/showthr...threadid=20338

It is based on w.luke's implementation; I just added the "alert moderator" but I doubt I will add post comments.

It does have interesting ways of determining karmic power-- how many karma points a user awards per click.. it's based on a formula that uses date joined, posts, and karma level.. so older and more respected users will give 5 or 8 points per click while new members will only give 1.

Otherwise I believe the functionality is the same as Sitepoint's. It does not add any overhead or extra queries in showthread. Eventually I will integrate it with the Killfile hack so that people can Killfile any user with a Karma below a level they set.

If there is still interest in something like this for the 1.x VB, let me know....

You might have to reinstall the hack, or the parts of the template that refer to the hack. -- check over the installation instructions and see everything is where it should be.

Thank you for the reply. Have you tried your recommendation successfully yourself? I ask this because last time I reinstalled the karma hack I had duplicates of the options, the hack still didn't work, and everything was a big mess. Overgrow graciously fixed everything but I didn't wish to hassle him again with fixing the same problem as if I didn't learn from previous mistakes. Anyway, I also sent an email to Overgrow because I purchased the email support licence and hopefully will get an answer back from him if noone else knows how to fix the hack after the 2.2.0 upgrade.

"Have you tried your recommendation successfully yourself?"

No, sweet as Overgrows hack is, we never purchased/downloaded it.

He should be able to explain what you need to change though to get it to work again with the upgrade - good luck =)

Thank you. Hopefully I will get a reply soon.

Wow! We have missed out this thread

it's a very old thread, but we've checked out overgrow's page and we've seen that he has karma running in vB 2.2.1. We're really impressed. It would be an amazing adition to our forums!! ^^

You could wait until vB 3

GraphicW · #39 01-31-2002, 02:45 AM

I see you are dropping hints Freddie. hehehe!

This is a great hack, and works in 2.2.2 no problems, cept you must modify the admin/index.php.

He was selling this for around 50-60 last time I saw, worth I say

You have to PAY! Is this still true, because I was reading this thread and getting excited, and now it says I have to pay

Why didn't someone say that sooner?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
