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.

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.

So u just dont wanna help us. Ok. I dont get it. This thing with these codes sucks. Always some problems. Wheres that Harizz shoot. he probably fixed his. He ain't responding. HMM. ohh well thanxx for that tubodogg I will enter my license code. Nah. I dont feel like. I am not really safe with that stuff. I will keep it on my paper. Untill I install XBM then u can have my code. OK

That wasn't meant as an offence or stuff. Just that your question was answered by me 10 posts before.

I would appreciate (as everyone else i suppose), one reads the thread before stating his/her question, since it may already have been answered.

Now, since i'm german, and english ain't my primary language, may be I lag to understand your last posting addressing me.

If so, I apologize

So do you plan on re-writing this hack? Cause the some PHP codes on vB 2.0.3 have been changed and some of the stuff you can't find anymore.

I want the normal "ladder" to work for all groups. Earn Stars by making more posts.

Admin - Red Stars
Moderators - Green Stars
Members - Yellow Stars

The Yellow stars are set as the default under CP - User Stars

In the Admin Group, I have nothing in "Stars shown" and I have "red" in the star image shown.

In the Moderators Group, I have nothing in "Stars shown" and I have "green" in the star image shown.

In the Members Group, I have nothing in "Stars shown" and I have "yellow" in the star image shown.

In the Forums, the Yellow Stars show for everyone. If I put a number, say 5, in the "Stars Shown" field in the Admin Group, it will then show 5 red stars when by #posts, he should only have 1.

Sorry

I'm trying to do the same type of thing. Basically you can't have a different star image inless you have the 'star shown' field filled in along with the 'Star Image shown' ?

I DID ALL, i have v 2.03 and i still can't see any stars....

now if i go to the mysql.php page thru the browser i get this msg:


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

-what is this ?
how to fix it ?

thanks...

You try to create a table that already exists!

The mysql.php only needs to be run 1 time.

and how do i fix that ? ... ?

Well, this aint an error actually.

it simply means the table has been created before (which is good).
You should be able to setup your 'starsystem' within your admin cp.
