Public Display of Affection (reputation display)

Allow your users to easily "agree" or "disagree" with a post-- rather than having them make a whole new post, you can simply use the existing reputation system.. which is meant for exactly this purpose.

Purpose: This hack makes each post's reputation visible to everyone. You can turn this on and off per forum.

Modifications: 2 additions to admincp/forum.php, 2 template additions, 1 query

Install Time: 10 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Screenshot attached of a post with reputation comments!

Love is all around us... but before I install... is there anyway of moderating these public display of affections? I wouldn't want to create a way for people to be circumvent my moderators.

very nice, i take, thank

Good point-- it does not have any moderation capability and it does not take into consideration the user's ignore list. It is quite basic! Maybe I will add these features to an upgrade.

nice idea, still it could be 5 stars, not more, the rating maximum

...mh , or should we ask around if any other coder wants to try his/her luck?

If one of your users has a problem using the system you can simply take away reputation priveledges I guess.
