referrals adding to rep power hack · **Released**: 01-05-2005

something i've litrally just finished coding. it seems to work ok, but since very few people on our board have referral counts high enough to make much effect on their rep power, i thought some other people may be able to help me test it some more.
i've not got an instal script yet and since i'm not really supporting the hack, it would be better if you have some knowledge of php/sql before installing.

file: includes/functions_reputation.php
edits made to function 'fetch_reppower' (the first one)
find:

Code:

global $vboptions;

replace with:

Code:

global $vboptions, $DB_site;

find:

Code:

                if ($vboptions['rdpower'])
                {
                        $reppower += intval(intval((TIMENOW - $userinfo['joindate']) / 86400) / $vboptions['rdpower']);
                }

insert after:

Code:

                if ($vboptions['rfpower'])
                {
                        $ref = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(userid) AS count 
                                                      FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user 
                                                      WHERE referrerid = '$userinfo[userid]'
                                                      AND usergroupid != 8
                                                      AND posts > 10
                                                     ");
                        $reppower += intval((log($ref[count]*2)/log(2))/$vboptions['rfpower']);
                }

then you will need to run these database queries, if your tables have a prefix, you need to add it into the query, as i copied these straight from phpmyadmin.

Code:

INSERT INTO `setting` ( `varname` , `grouptitle` , `value` , `defaultvalue` , `optioncode` , `displayorder` , `advanced` , `volatile` ) 
VALUES (
'rfpower', 'reputation', '1', '1', '', '91', '0', '1'
);

INSERT INTO phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) 
VALUES 
('', 0, 'setting_rfpower_desc', 'Changes how a users referrals effects their rep power the higher the value the more referrals are needed to get an effect. Set to 0 to disable', 5000),
('', 0, 'setting_rfpower_title', 'How should referrals alter rep power', 5000);

now i'm hoping this will work perfectly, my code usually does, if not drop me a note in this thread include as full an error report as possible. If i get no bugs, i'll add a few more options to it (specifying min posts for users to count towards referrals and allowing other banned groups to be specified)
