Lots of feautures in this mod. One to mention is that this will warn or praise users on their posts. Written by Leshrac, you can find more info on this hack in our database.

The new version is finally out!

New is this version are:
- Multiple warn/praise levels.
- Recording of warnings/praises in an admin/mod viewable "Karma history."
- Numerous bug fixes.
- Some other things that I just can't remember right now. [Linked Image]

Upgrading from a previous version is incredibly easy. All you need to do is replace the karma.pl file with the new version and make a couple small updates, noted in the readme file. Just look for the "*** Look here if you're upgrading! ***" lines to find the updates.

If you have any problems or suggestions for future updates, let me know. [Linked Image]

I'm glad you updated this hack. It's one of my favorites.

The only problem I'm having is the karma history values aren't appearing. I've warned a user multiple times and included a reason, but still...nothing appears accept "Issuer, Amount, & Reason"

Oh, and here's a suggestion for your next update (if there is one): Make it so that the reason why a person is warned or praised appears at the bottom of their "karmaed" message.

One last minor thing, on the Adjust Karma panel, it says "You must be an administrator or moderator of the Bad Trader Alerts forum." (Obviously specific code for your forums)

First of all, just wanted to say that I really like this hack. It really STOPS a lot of spammers from my forum. Also, I turned some trouble makers into helpers after I praised them for good things they have done. Thanks for the great hack.

A few things:

1) I can't find the latest version in the database (yet), can you provide the link here.

2) You were looking for a good picture to replace the lightning, how about

3) Someone suggested that it maybe cool to have a page to display the highest karma and lowest karma members, is this hard to incorporate.

4) In case anyone is interested, here is the thread to our karma rating discussion on our forum http://pgz.pgamers.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000059.html

P.S. Please take other hacks into consideration when you document the instructions.

I second rick's request,
about the highest and lowest listing.
What would be neat is a list of spammers (for example, everyone with -2 or lower) and a list of helpers (+5 or higher) .

anyway, great hack!

Where does this new History Feature store its information. Does it write to a separate file. Just curious, asking some common questions to help figure out why its not showing the Karma History.

I've had the original hack installed for a long time and it worked great. I just upgraded to this one, everything still works ok except the History.

Thanks

I installed the hack and it works perfectly fine.

The problem is that not too long ago I have installed Turbinator's hack with the custom title and custom icons, now when a person posts, instead of their personal icon and title this appears: 0:0 .

I really hate to get rid of any of those hacks, so doesn anyone know a way that I get to keep both hacks and it would work perfectly?

Oops, I forgot to include this:

You need to create a folder named "karma" in your Members directory and CHMOD it to 777 in order for the history feature to work.

Yes, I'd definatly like to use the old method myself.

While I do appreciate the way you set it up the new way though, I just can't get used to it. [Linked Image]

It looks like you guys are running into some permission problems, so I've updated karma.pl to hopefully handle it. Just download the ZIP file again and upload the new karma.pl. Then, CHMOD all the files in your Members/karma directory to 777 (if you can, otherwise just delete them).

As for changing the profile writing method, it's actually a lot easier to install new profile fields with the new method than it is with the old one. If there are people willing to read it, I'll write up some instructions on how the new method works and how to convert hacks that use the old one.

It looks like one of the new GetUserNumber speed-ups is causing problems with this due to a lack of proper variable declaration. I'd recommend either using my original GetUserNumber speedup (which is faster anyway if you're using Memberlist), or changing your GetUserNumber subroutine so that it declares $ProfileNumber as a local variable.

hi leshrac!

first: your hack is really great :-)

i really love this hack so i translated it to german!

i had already a karma hack and translated the new one also, but i downloadet the new one @ first of januar, so i dont have the bugfix included.

could you please let me know what you changed in your new karma.pl?

if you're interested you can have the GERMAN version of your hack (just the hack, not the instructions, i think everyone can read englisch [Linked Image]) to release it!

for sure i'll translate further versions of your hack to if needed.

feel free 2 contact me: [email protected]
and please post your updates :-) thx

greets, cRackY

Is that profile field info avail yet? just wondering what I should do with the extra profile fields I got >14 help please. Thanks.
specifically this line of code:
# Karma Hack
$theprofile[4] = "$PermissionLine";
$theprofile[8] = "$UserStatus";
if (($maxmemfields > 14) && ($#thisprofile > $maxmemfields)) { $#thisprofile = $maxmemfields; }
foreach $foo (@theprofile) {
chomp($foo);
print MEMBERSHIP "$foon";
}

From the readme file:

Then find:

------------------------------
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[0]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[1]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[2]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[3]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$PermissionLinen");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[5]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[6]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[7]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$UserStatusn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[9]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[10]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[11]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[12]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[13]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$theprofile[14]n");
------------------------------

REPLACE that entire code block, INCLUDING ANY SIMILAR LINES ADDED FROM HACKS, with:

------------------------------
# Karma Hack
$theprofile[4] = "$PermissionLine";
$theprofile[8] = "$UserStatus";
if (($maxmemfields > 14) && ($#thisprofile > $maxmemfields)) { $#thisprofile = $maxmemfields; }
foreach $foo (@theprofile) {
chomp($foo);
print MEMBERSHIP "$foon";
}
------------------------------

*Also*

Then find:

------------------------------
print MEMBERSHIP ("$profileinfo[0]n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$Passwordn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$Emailn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$URLn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$Permissionsn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$Occupationn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$Locationn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$TotalPostsn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$Statusn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$Interestsn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$DateRegisteredn");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$in{'EmailView'}n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$Signaturen");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$in{'ICQnum'}n");
print MEMBERSHIP ("$in{'AllowMassMail'}n");
------------------------------
(IMPORTANT: You may have additional lines here if you have hacks installed that have added fields to your profile. Take careful note of them when you make the following modification.)

REPLACE this with:

------------------------------
# Karma Hack
$profileinfo[1] = "$Password";
$profileinfo[2] = "$Email";
$profileinfo[3] = "$URL";
$profileinfo[4] = "$Permissions";
$profileinfo[5] = "$Occupation";
$profileinfo[6] = "$Location";
$profileinfo[7] = "$TotalPosts";
$profileinfo[8] = "$Status";
$profileinfo[9] = "$Interests";
$profileinfo[10] = "$DateRegistered";
$profileinfo[11] = "$in{'EmailView'}";
$profileinfo[12] = "$Signature";
$profileinfo[13] = "$in{'ICQnum'}";
$profileinfo[14] = "$in{'AllowMassMail'}";
$profileinfo[$KProLoc] = "$Karma:$LastKPosts";
if (($maxmemfields > 14) && ($#thisprofile > $maxmemfields)) { $#thisprofile = $maxmemfields; }
foreach $foo (@profileinfo) {
chomp($foo);
print MEMBERSHIP "$foon";
}
-----------------------------
IMPORTANT: If you have additional fields in your profile, you should include them into the code above. You can do so by using the following format:
-----------------------------
$profileinfo[location of the field goes here] = "Variable that would normally be printed goes here";
-----------------------------
Create an additional line for each additional field you have. Place these extra lines directly BELOW the following:
-----------------------------
$profileinfo[$KProLoc] = "$Karma:$LastKPosts";
-----------------------------

Please read the last part carefully, it explains everything you need to do to add extra profile fields used by other hacks.

Did anyone get anywhere on the problem with the history not showing up? I have the same problem and it isn't related to permissions, as far as I can tell. I've checked all of that kind of stuff a hundred times.

Ok, everyone. I've sorta figured out the "history not showing up" problem. Keep in mind, I'm a big time Perl amateur, so I'd be pleased if someone wants to explain this more clearly or verify my findings.

I traced everything back through karma.pl to the sub karmaMsg and did various kinds of troubleshooting to see what was working and what wasn't. The karma profiles were writing fine and the code to print the history was working fine, too. The problem seemed to be where the karma profile file opens and then loads into the array. I focused my attention on this bit of code:

open (MESSAGES, "$MembersPath/karma/$ProfileNumber.cgi");
@kMessages = ;
close (MESSAGES);


I subsituted the expression

open (MESSAGES, "$MembersPath/karma/$ProfileNumber.cgi");

for the direct path of a profile file I knew existed, like this:

open (MESSAGES, "/usr/otd/cgi-bin/ubb/Members/karma/00000003.cgi");

Sure as heck, it worked. My history was reading fine. I worked backwards and replaced the absolute path with $MembersPath/karma/ again and it continued to work, thus showing that the problem was with the variable $ProfileNumber. I assumed that $ProfileNumber is being reset to some other value in between loading the profile number at the beginning of the routine and where it is being used to load the karma profile from the Members/karma directory. I pinpointed the problem to this expression:

$PN = &GetUserNumber($UserName);

This expression finds the user number of YOU, the person looking up the karma, which is later used to make sure you're authorized. It calls sub GetUserNumber, which is located in ubb_libary.pl. During this routine, $ProfileNumber is set to YOUR user number and stays that value upon return to sub karmaMsg in karma.pl. So, in my case, with the history was trying to read from MY profile file that didn't exist because I *had* no karma adjustments, therefore no history was being displayed.

My fix:
I changed $ProfileNumber to $ProfileNumber2 everywhere in sub karmaMsg, in karma.pl. There are four instances of it.
It now seems to work reliably.

Good luck!

For this line??


$profileinfo[$KProLoc] = "$Karma:$LastKPosts";
if (($maxmemfields > 14) && ($#thisprofile > $maxmemfields)) { $#thisprofile = $maxmemfields; }
foreach $foo (@profileinfo) {
chomp($foo);
print MEMBERSHIP "$foon";
}

******************************
If we got more profile fields than 14, say in ubb_library.pl it says maxmemfields 20. Would we keep the 2 or three chunks of codes that look like the one above to maxmemfields 14 or change the 14 to fit our current number of member fields???

Also you say the Karma History problem is fixed, has it been updated in the hack link??

By chance what would I add if I wanted members Karma to be displayed in a Author Extra field... Like under post, from, registered.. Say like on the bottom, or even by the IP ICON, if I wanted everyones karma level to be viewable, where would I do so??? I think this is a briliant hack.. If I can get it to work as needed...

Thanks!
