About Developer · **Released**: 06-02-2001

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.

This hack is © 2001 Kevin Schumacher and may not be redistributed, modified or not, without prior permission.

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.

ok i finally got 2.0.1 installed and it fixed THAT problem... but presented another one.....in the MISC.PHP file

my originl file:

[DO NOT POST THE SOURCE OF ENTIRE FILES]

What it tells me to change i do NOT have for some reason.... and by using the ORIGINAL one from the 2.0.1 version... and editing it..... i got a database error....

EVERYTHING ELSE WAS DONE EXACTLY as it should have been...... i used to do hacks on UBB..... so I'm not (totally

incompetant... but i may not be able to speel that word

anyhow....... anyideas as to why... that 1 file would be different.....and not have the variables i need to change (my baord is working great by the way....) I just wanted to add stars.

Well... if anyone can help.... I would appreciate it

installed and all is fine got no errors but still see no starts
btw: i have seen them on win2k server but not on linux
any ideas?

vbb: 2.0.1

tubedogg · #80 07-07-2001, 05:36 PM

Dolemite: Two things - first please edit the code out of your post as it against the license to post it like that. Second you are editing the wrong misc.php file - you need to edit the one in the admin folder, not the main forums folder.

Dolamite · #81 07-08-2001, 12:57 AM

sorry i didnt realize i could not post the code

i apploagize

Dolamite · #82 07-08-2001, 01:03 AM

just fyi though tube.... that IS the file from the ADMIN dir.....

that seems to be the problem...... those 2 files are the same... i think... same size anyhow

but if i edit the original (from 2.0.1 realease..... it dosnt work)

eger · #83 07-10-2001, 10:25 PM

is there any particular order to do the steps? i run the mysql.php , then update the users and stars. no luck, stars don't show. when i add a new user stars, it shows the star pic, so i know the images are in the right place, and i edited all the code correctly (since i copied the edited files from a board where the stars DID work). so i dont know whats up, any suggestions?

Oliver · #84 07-11-2001, 02:45 PM

The old thread is still open and hence i dl`ed the older version. Someone should delete that.

Anywayz, im about to upgrade to latest version of stars, one question, in the readme it says not to run mysql.php if you have installed a previous version of stars (v0.0.2 in my case), how then can the modified code on various pages insert or update starimg into the usergroup table when starimg doesn`t exist?

Regards
oli

oh, vB2.0.0 by the way

I get the same problem :/ I have installed the hack with no code errors, I have upgraded the database with no errors, I have set the star 'ladder' and have given cetain goups a set amount of stars, the star.gif is loaded in the CP so they are in the right place, I have also updated all the counters.

BUT I CANT SEE MY STARS

there code is exexcited as i get the extra <br> in the code. but the stars are not shown, any ideas? anyone?!

Vb 2.0.1

ShadowTech · #86 07-12-2001, 03:58 AM

I had everything replaced and installed correctly .. and the stars would not show in the post under the user's name. It does show in the control panel tho .. so basically I am having the same problem as this other Shadow dude. (we are NOT the same person btw)

#87 07-13-2001, 02:23 AM

ok here is my problem:

I changed everything successful but when I try to edit the stars for the user groups I have this error:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

This error is shown nearly on everything in the cp

Dakota · #88 07-13-2001, 06:12 AM

Shadow did you edit the postbit template? if not, then there is no way the stars will show. It worked fine for me the first time I installed it.

Oliver · #89 07-13-2001, 07:58 AM

ATTN: Tubedogg

As per my post above, is there an easy way to upgrade to starsv0.2.0?

I have v0.0.2 installed (due to dl`ing from the old thread.)

Could I just upload the original *.php files, then delete the databasse entries via phpMyAdmin that refer to starlevel?

Help please as whenever i`m in control panel using usergroup.php i get errors. I`ve also had a couple of errors from newthread and newreply, though these dont seem as common.

Whats the best way???

Regards
Oli

did anyone see my post im getting there is a problem with the database, sorry for the inconvenience. when i go to add star levels or modify them

Shadow_Xj5 · #91 07-13-2001, 06:53 PM

Dakota:

Yes

this is what I can't understand, I far as I know I have done everything right, I have deffintly edited the postbit as I get the gap where the star should show, also when I view the soruce

PHP Code:


			
<td bgcolor="#DFDFDF" width="175" valign="top" nowrap>

    <a name="post35"></a>

    <a name="newpost"></a>

    <font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="2" ><b>The_Gringo</b></font><br>

    <font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >Junior Member</font><br><!--Stars should show here!--><br>

    <img src="avatar.php?userid=5&dateline=994983979" border="0" alt=""><p>

    <font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >Registered: Jul 2001<br>

    Location: <br>

    Posts: 7</font></td>

I even get the extra <br> that the star code produces, (I added the comment to highlight the location)

This is really getting me down, as we had them on our UBB and everyone want them on this, which I told them I could do

Dont suprose anyone as the files ? (I have no other hacks installed)

Plz email them to me here

This souldn't effect the lience agreement as I own it anyway

Thanks.
