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.

Hey Zachariah. I was not aware that there was a set standard of rules or directions that I should click install "before" I actually had installed it. I have "never" had any problem with this before, & I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me, Thank You very much.
Maybe they should consider "you" for a moderator position. :up:

If you 'could care less' then that means you care at least a little bit.

It would never happen. I would snap 25 times a day and start banning entire domain names.

I do not like bugs.

I do not like people to have extra stress, unless I am there to give it too them in person. :squareeyed:

That wasn't a bug. I left it out intentionally because I like to know what order users donated in.

He was talking to me on my outlook of people that don't care to hit the "install" not your contrib port

I was referring to this:

My apologies if I took it wrong, sir.

If this was to work with the paypal donations, that would have been super nice.. automatically mark them as contributors, so you wouldn't have to do it manually.

I am running 3.5.2 and when I import the XML plugin, I get a database error.

	WHERE `contrib` = '1'
");

Change:

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

Works great.

TY!

EDIT: Also running it on vB v3.5.3 no probs.
