Reputation Bar for users with huge loads of the green

As the reputation system matures, you will find users quickly hitting the current limit of 1500 reputation points. You should start scaling back the numbers at that point in the admin Cpanel so that it is not distributed so quickly, but it is also useful to have the possibility of more than 1500 points.

Purpose: Remove the current limit of 1500 points and replace the dots with a solid bar of Reputation for users over 1500.

Modifications: 3 additions to functions_showthread.php and 3 new gifs.

Install Time: 10 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Screenshot attached of a user with 3800 reputation points!

[vbmechanic]

Sure, should work on any version with Reputation.

PHP Code:

if ($reputation_value > 500)
      {  // bright green bars take 200 pts not the normal 100
         $reputation_value = ($reputation_value - ($reputation_value - 500)) + (($reputation_value - 500) / 2);
      }
  
      $reputationbars = intval($reputation_value / 100); // award 1 reputation bar for every 100 points 


i couldn't find the above in the functions_showthread in rc2
its the last step of the hack

There is a problem with the spacing that you showed in the code box above. I checked it with the zip file and it does not match.. so check again-- it's just a spacing issue that is preventing you from finding this string:

PHP Code:

if ($reputation_value > 500)
    {  // bright green bars take 200 pts not the normal 100
        $reputation_value = ($reputation_value - ($reputation_value - 500)) + (($reputation_value - 500) / 2);
    }

    $reputationbars = intval($reputation_value / 100); // award 1 reputation bar for every 100 points 


Thanks, let me know if you get it.

Could you make it so, it converts all the reputation in a five star hack?
I mean no 10 000 and 20 000 point, but, for example, 2,4 point user ...

[vbmechanic]

Sorry, I don't fully understand.

You would like users to have between 1 and 5 stars-- instead of reputation points?

What would the upper limit be?

1 star = 0 to 500 points
2 stars = 501 to 1500 points

etc etc ?

There would be a limit of 5 stars of course.
