UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Rate this Topic 1.1a

I like this hack, but there is a bug:
If you choose to let registered users only,
even though unregistered users can't rate, they can see the "Rate topic" and choose their ratings (again, even though it isn't counted)

Can this mod be changed so that Topic rating is a option for the topic starter? There are some topics in a board or whole forum, where Ratings are not valid or wanted by the Admin (forum)or by the topic starter (individual post). Please reply.

Great Mod.

nice hack .. what about an option to turn it on or off via control panel? changing some of the settings is nice, but you should be able to turn it off completely, as in the column doesn't even show up on the forum display.

Other than that, it's pretty nice

is great workin on ubb 6.01 german

--- netscape need

Philipp,

It would be great if user name or number was also logged so if people abuse the ratings system they can be delt with. Thanks for a great hack.

wardx28 & Nefarious:
Maybe in the next version

melder:
Thanks

Garland:
This feature is allready in 1.1

Great, I had not noticed since I did not change the setting (Registered Users Only?) in my control panel. Can you add the rating next to the user name so you can see if someone is voting improperly?

Added a option in 1.1a which allows the topic starter to disable rating.

How can i set this up to work for one forum as a test?
Private at that.

ultimatebb.cgi: Unable to open the required rating file at /u/web/urba19/cgi-local/ubb_rate_topic.cgi line 93.


is what i go in 6.02

Did you create a "thread_ratings" folder in your members directory and chmod the folder to 777?

Hi,

is it possible to disable ratings through cp and activate it just for one forum?

Not yet. This feature is planned for the next update

Did that.

Darn, put it in the cgi dir.

Thanks.

Where is it that the topic starter has the choice to disable?
Setting in cp is configed, But option does not show.

Sorry, forgot one template:

I had a similar problem when I upgraded to ubb6.03, try restoring all cp templates and rehacking the files.

Another Question:
I have the "Ratings" in the "Topic Starter" field and missed the Topic Starter after installing the Hack? Waht's going wrong?
btw.: Great hack!!
Egbert

What and when is the next version?

I've been trying to figure out how to make this hack add 5 stars automatically after a user has posted a message, but I'm not really getting anywhere.

Can anyone help me?

Is this hack still under development?
I didn't find it in Finished. and as i can read their is still some bug's in it.

anyone using it with 6.04c ?

Content-type: text/html

Have you gotten anywhere on the part in only particular forums?

Greetings everyone!

Just a quick note to let you all know that we succesfully installed this hack at The Temple of Blues running UBB 6.04e - works great, a great hack that took all of 10 minutes to install. We also had it working fine on a an old beta version of 6.0

Question?


Does this work kinda like the views hack that was released, where it creates a ton of individual files that log the rating of each thread?

Hi DJ Nemesis,

This hack does create a subdirectory, in which it creates files on a per-topic basis including a file for the rating details as well as a file for IP logging.

i installed a hack and i have got a error :
Error including required files: No such file or directory
Make sure these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly

hmm what is the problem ?? i have got a
6.04b version

Phillip, if you want it to automatically add this directory if it doesn't exist, pm me.

The stars dont show when i rate a topic!? i uploaded all of em in my noncgi folder.. is there suppose to be a folder for em?

What and when is the next version?

Feature suggestion: tabulating and displaying the number of ratings underneath the stars - for example

****
4 votes

or something to that effect. It would help give users a better weighting of the actual rating.

Great hack, it installed and works really well!

RTM -- go into your public_forum_page.pl

Find:
if ($votes > $vars_rate{MinVotes}) {
if ($average > 0) {$ratestar = qq();}
if ($average > 1) {$ratestar = qq();}
if ($average > 2) {$ratestar = qq();}
if ($average > 3) {$ratestar = qq();}
if ($average > 4) {$ratestar = qq();}
}


replace with

if ($votes > $vars_rate{MinVotes}) {
if ($average > 0) {$ratestar = qq(
1 vote);}
if ($average > 1) {$ratestar = qq(
2 votes);}
if ($average > 2) {$ratestar = qq(
3 votes);}
if ($average > 3) {$ratestar = qq(
4 votes);}
if ($average > 4) {$ratestar = qq(
5 votes);}
}

everything works fine except when you vote it says :
