Reputation question

[mp3dreaming]

Hey,

I'm wondering, is it possible to show up the devided part for the reputation? That means, the negative points (total sum of them) and positive points (total sum of them)?

Just wondering if it's possible and if so, how difficult is it?

Grtz,
J.

Most things are possible if someone writes them.

LOL, That much I figured yea... hehe

I was merely wondering, the reputation works by adding the positive points together and deducting the negative ones thus giving the total reputation points. The points must be stored somewhere? Wouldn't it merely be a matter of adressing those individual points? It's just that I really like the rep system, but keeping track of the positive and negative points would be a great way to let the members know if they are doing a good job at the moment...

Perhaps there is another pointing system out there?

All the reutation given (+ or -) is stored in a table, so yes, if someone wrote it, it would be possible. However - it would not take into account manual changes to someones reputation made by an administrator in the ACP.

PHP Code:

$howmany=array();
$getreps=$DB_site->query("SELECT userid, reputation ".TABLE_PREFIX."reputation WHERE userid = '????'");
while ($getrepsx=$DB_site->fetch_array($getreps)){
if($getrepsx[reputation]>0){$howmany[0]+=$getrepsx[reputation];} // positive reps
else{$howmany[1]+=$getrepsx[reputation];} //negative reps
} 


That would make $howmany[0] the positive amount and [1] the negative, right?

I may have done that wrong, since I'm doing it all in the quick reply box~ you'd have to set that "WHERE userid = 'X'" part to whatever you happen to be doing at the time.

add two new colums in reputation table to keep track on total negative & positve rep.

If you go that way, it'd prolly be better to add another field to the user table that contained both the positive and the negative amount.
