I wrote this for a client this weekend, thought I'd share here, incase anyone else had a use for it.

Mod Name: Admin Selectable Ratings 1.0

Description: This allows the Admin to assign a custom rating image.
Useful for admins who want to be the one to assign ratings, or you could use to signify the level of financial support you've received from a user. I've included a series of graphics, so you can define from 1-5 gold stars for a user, then you can begin to change the stars from gold to red. Then from red to blue. Thus it's a rating system (admin or mod controlled) that allows you to go beyond just 5 stars, similar to the ebay rating system. You can add new rating images simply by uploading them to your server, they will then be instantly available to you.
Image Examples:

      Commissioned by and demo at: www.gapofrohan.com

Date: 2/24/03

Working Under: 6.2

Files Modified: /admin/showoneuser.php, /admin/dochangeuser.php, showflat.php,
showthreaded.php, showprofile.php

New Files: included images, uploaded to /images/ratingimages

Database Modifications: New field "U_RatingImage" added to the Users table.

Notes: To use, edit the user from the admin menu, and edit their profile, you'll see a pull down box at the bottom to select their rating image. When you select an image, a preview of the image will appear for you next to the menu box.

Correction.... when you say "profile hack" if you mean status bars it won't. This uses the ratings as does the profile status bar.

This could be adapted to work with it though.

Yes I am using your restrict profile mod so my users will fill in there profiles. Along with the user profile status bar. I also added the custom titles mod.. I would like to keep these and add this to go with them. The site is user supported and this would allow the ability to sell various levels of sponsorship.

I'll ahve to tweak this a bit then... to use this and profile status bars.

It is doable.

Unfortunately my list is pretty long right now... the stuff that I've been posting has been created for clients or myself. But when I get some time, I'll try to update this one to work with both.

Appreciate it... You been creating some great mods. Feel like a kid in a candy store with all these toys I got compared to the old classic. I have a hard time keeping up with all the great stuff that keeps showing up!!!

Thanks again for all the hard work.

Hey Josh, I wanted to use this hack to give my PREMIUM users another rating image but after installing it I have seen that also moderators are allowed to change the ratingimage. Can this be turned off?

I want to use it the following way:

Rating should be still on but if an admin gives a 'premium' user a fixed ratingimage' then this should be always should independant of what others are voting on this user.

If your Moderators are allowed to edit the users, then they'll have access to this like anything else.

In your config file, there's an option to allow Moderators to edit users. If you turn that off, then moderators won't be allowed to edit.

I know Josh, I know.

My moderators should be able to edit users but should not be able to change their rating image. If they could do every moderator can make another user a premium user and thats not what I want

Oh. I see.

If you place the code inside an if statment like this, it'll only appear if they are an Admin:

if ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") {
// Put the code inside here
} // close the if statement


Then anything inside only shows to admins.
That might work.

Why does this mod remove the user rating option when it doesn't have to as far as I can see. Now, I realize that the way it is meant to work is to let admins select the rating instead of users voting, but the mod would be more versatile if the rating option wasn't removed. There could still be information on how to remove the normal rating stuff for those who want to, but for those who want to use this to have some other type of image (informational or whatever) or who wants to have both types of ratings or those who use the profile status bar it would be nice to have the option to not remove the ratings.

Now, I don't think I'll have a problem making it do what I want, but maybe others will need the help.

Yes - good point - that's how I'm using it here. (for the haxxor logos). Removing the regular rating is just how the instructions had to be written for my client. But I should modify and update for 6.3 allowing it as an additional image.

Yeah, took me a while to find this mod since I was looking for the haxxor mod, but since this one replaced the ratings I skipped it at first. =]

Well, I've got it working at my test site now, will be going live with it as soon as I've had my graphics guy doing some graphics.

josh,

this is great, however i would want to disable the classic rating that comes with the software, can I do that?. So I would be the only one who gives rating to the user rather than the users themselves

A parse error usually means that you've missed something. Usually it's a { or } missing somewhere.

Double check that you copied and pasted everthing needed and didn't miss any lines.

Josh it says to relace this line
Code
  SELECT t1.B_Number,t2.U_Username,t1.B_Posted,t1.B_IP,t1.B_Subject,t1.B_Body,t1.B_File,t1.B_Status,t1.B_Approved,t2.U_Picture,t1.B_Reged,t2.U_Title,t2.U_Color,t1.B_Icon,t1.B_Poll,t1.B_Parent,t2.U_Status,t2.U_Signature,t1.B_LastEdit,t1.B_LastEditBy,t2.U_Location,t2.U_TotalPosts,t2.U_Registered,t2.U_Rating,t2.U_Rates,t2.U_RealRating,t2.U_PicWidth,t2.U_PicHeight,t2.U_Number,t1.B_FileCounter,t1.B_AnonName<br /><br />


when mine actually looks like this
Code
//     SELECT t1.B_Number,t2.U_Username,t1.B_Posted,t1.B_IP,t1.B_Subject,t1.B_Body,t1.B_File,t1.B_Status,t1.B_Approved,t2.U_Picture,t1.B_Reged,t2.U_Title,t2.U_Color,t1.B_Icon,t1.B_Poll,t1.B_Parent,t2.U_Status,t2.U_Signature,t1.B_LastEdit,t1.B_LastEditBy,t2.U_Location,t2.U_TotalPosts,t2.U_Registered,t2.U_Rating,t2.U_Rates,t2.U_RealRating,t2.U_PicWidth,t2.U_PicHeight,t2.U_Number,t1.B_FileCounter,t1.B_AnonName, [:"red"]t1.B_ParentUser[/]<br />   



and I am also getting this now

Ok I got rid of the SQL error,apparently it did not like the way I commented out the original line and I added this to the end of your line

t1.B_ParentUser

My new question is does this hack take away the function for users to rate each other because now Everyones stars are missing except those that I have given out.

Edit-Ok I have read this thread now in its entirety and see this question was raised before by Gardener.Can some one explain to me how to get the user ratings functional with this mod? I am using 6.3 currently

Yes, this one does. The latest version (the 6.4 version) allows you to have either.

I guess I am going to have to upgrade sooner than I planned

FYI t1.B_ParentUser must be from a mod that I installed that added the "in reply to" function. Its not working at the moment so I assume I must have accidentily edited some of it out when installing the user ratings mod *sigh*
