|
|
This MOD has been validated and released at phpbb.com. I am copying the text of the first few posts here. Note that this MOD will be moved into the MOD Releases forum once the MOD Catalog is complete. This MOD has been installed on this site... which you'll see in about a year.
MOD Name: Annual Stars
Author: drathbun
MOD Description: This MOD adds one star per each 365 days of membership on a user's profile, their entry on the memberlist, and on viewtopic.
MOD Version: 1.0.2 (Updated 05/10/06)
FAQ
- Help, I installed the MOD but no stars show up! What did I do wrong?
First make sure you uploaded the graphic, and that you referenced the proper path in the admin panel.
Next, make sure you have at least one user that has been a member of your board for at least a year.
- Does this MOD handle leap years?
No, it does not. It was much easier to simply subtrace 365 days from the current date and compare to the registration date. As a result, the "annual" nature of this Annual Stars MOD is a bit compromised.
- Will you make a special graphic for me?
Nope, my skills are not in that area. There are several colors of stars provided in the download package that work well for light-colored backgrounds. A user has provided a collection of stars that can be used for dark-color backgrounds as well. If you create something and would like to share it, feel free to send me a PM with the details, and I will be happy to host the images.

I've made an "clean version" of this MOD. It's called Simple Annual Stars.
Changes:
-tooked out image & language variables
-tooked out SQL querries
-tooked out stars in memberlist
-tested succesfully in 2.0.23
Here is it for who wants it:
Code: | ##############################################################
## MOD Title: Simple Annual Stars
## MOD Author: drathbun < N/A > (Dave Rathbun) http://www.phpBBDoctor.com
## MOD Author: Sylver Cheetah 53 < sylvercheetah53@gmail.com > http://www.friendsforever.co.cc
## MOD Description: This MOD "rewards" members by displaying one star for each year of membership beside their name.
## MOD Version: 1.0.2
##
##
## Installation Level: Easy
## Installation Time: 3 Minutes
## Files To Edit (4): viewtopic.php,
## templates/subSilver/viewtopic_body.tpl,
## includes/usercp_viewprofile.php,
## templates/subSilver/profile_view_body.tpl,
## Included Files: star.gif
## License: http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU General Public License v2

## For security purposes, please check: http://www.phpbb2refugees.com
## for the latest version of this MOD. Although MODs are checked
## before being allowed in the MODs Database there is no guarantee
## that there are no security problems within the MOD. No support
## will be given for MODs not found within the MODs Database which
## can be found at http://www.phpbb2refugees.com
##############################################################
## Author Notes:
## This MOD allows the board admin to provide a link to a small
## image or icon of some sort. This icon will be displayed
## under the username in their profile, on the member listing,
## and on the viewtopic display once the user has reached a
## year of membership. There icon will be repeated for each
## year of membership.
##
## The calculation process is not very sophisticated, it simply
## looks for 365 day intervals since the use has joined. As a
## result it will not handle leap years. We did not think that
## it needed to be that precise.
##
## Several simple star graphics are included with the MOD. You
## can use one of them or you can switch out for another
## graphic of your choice.
##
## You can consider each of the non-admin install sections
## optional. If you want to display the annual stars only on
## the profile then skip the sections dealing with viewtopic
## (both the php and the tpl files). You may also opt to skip
## the memberlist changes. Note that if you install via EasyMOD
## or some other automatic installer you will have to edit the
## template file prior to using it if you do not want to
## install all three parts.

On my largest board we have folks approaching ten years of membership, and the list of stars is getting quite long. As a result I have modified the code to replace 10 gold stars with one green star. That means nine years of membership will be nine gold stars, then ten years of membership will be one green star, and eleven years of membership will be one green + one gold and onward from there. To do this is fairly simple, especially if you've hard-coded the image names instead of using the admin panel version. Find this:
Code: | // Begin Annual Stars 1.0.2 (www.phpBBDoctor.com)
$poster_term = floor(( $postrow[$i]['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS ) ? ((time() - $postrow[$i]['user_regdate']) / (365 * 86400) ) : 0);
$poster_term_img = str_repeat('<img src="templates/' . $theme['template_name'] . '/' . $board_config['annual_stars'] . '" border="0" title="' . $lang['Annual_stars'] . '" />', $poster_term) . (($poster_term) ? '<br />' : '');
// END Annual Stars 1.0.2 (www.phpBBDoctor.com)
|
There are several variations of the $term_img assignment. Instead of using one str_repeat() function I set the threshold in a variable called $green and then do this:
Code: | $green = 10;
$poster_term = floor((time() - $reg_date) / (365 * 86400) );
$poster_term_img = str_repeat('<img src="images/ranks/star-green.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" title="Green star represents ' . $green . ' years of membership" />', floor($poster_term / $green)) . str_repeat('<img src="images/ranks/star.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" title="Gold star represents one year of membership" />', ($poster_term % $green)) ; |
The $green value is hard-coded for now since I set it once and then forget about it; it didn't seem worth it to create an admin panel entry for this. First, I get the years of membership and store that in the $poster_term variable. The floor() function is used to ignore the decimal result of dividing the total days of membership by the number of days in a standard year. I don't want to use round() because it would round up; the floor() function always truncates or removes the decimal even if it's .99999. Next, I repeat green stars for however many "10's" are in the years of membership, again using the floor() function and dividing the years of membership by $green. Next, I use modulo math to get the remainder of the division and that's how many gold stars are shown.
As mentioned, the official MOD allows users to have their star images in template folders so they can have different stars for each template. I only use one, so I put my star images into the /images/ranks/ folder instead.
Having a green star per 10 years should allow me to show up to 98 years of membership in the same space as I currently use for 9. I think that's more than enough.

If we're still using phpBB2 in 98 years I'll be... well, I'll be dead, but that's another issue altogether.

Haha,
You sound a bit pessimistic.
If we manage to keep up phpBB2 for another 98 years we´ll be capable of anything.

I know all of us here prefer phpBB2 to most other boards, but to be honest, it would be sad if nothing surpasses it in the next century
