[MOD-DB] Annual Stars 1.0.1 (Last Update May 8, 2006)

[Paddic]

For boards with many templates, especially with different background colors, one image may not be enough to please visually...

So, my suggestion is to replace every:

Code: Select all

$board_config['annual_stars']

with:

Code: Select all

str_replace('{TEMPLATE}', $template->root, $board_config['annual_stars'])

After that, you can use {TEMPLATE} in your star file path name, for example "{TEMPLATE}/images/star.gif" and have template specific graphics.

This MOD looks cool. I might install this, but only if you promise to make this for phpBB3

Oh, and i'll wait until it's validated

Hello, this mod doesn't work in my board... I don't know why

I have made all the changes, sql included of course... i uploaded the star.gif inside /images but nothing shows up! Neither in viewtopic... membership...or wherever should appear!

I think that the installation text file needs to be revised in some points anyway, for example:

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]-------------------------------------
#
includes/usercp_viewprofile.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
assign_vars

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]-------------------------------------
#
$term = floor ( (time() - $profiledata['user_regdate']) / (365 * 86400) );
$term_img = str_repeat('<img src="' . $board_config['annual_stars'] . '" border="0" title="' . $lang['Annual_stars'] . '" />', $term);

I have 2 different places in which that string appears.. one is

Code: Select all

$template->assign_vars(array(
	'USERNAME' => $username_color,

and the other

Code: Select all

$template->assign_vars(array(
		'PROFILE_TIME'		=> DisplayPlayingTime(2, $profiledata['ina_time_playing']),

before which one of these 2 i have to put the required code?

Good idea, thanks. I never use more than one template, so that had not occurred to me. I will implement that change, or something like it that provides the same functionality.

Why? There is nothing wrong with it. If you do not use "phpbb_" as your table prefix, then you must alter it to suit your installation. But the install instructions are written as required for the phpBB MOD Template, which says to use that prefix.

Code: Select all

insert into phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) values ('annual_stars', 'images/star.gif');

There is nothing wrong with that SQL code.

Two points. First, if you "find" a string twice, you always act on the one that you find first starting from the last edit position. That's how EasyMOD works, and thats how the MOD installation instructions are written. The suggestion has been made to me several times by MOD Team members to prune the "find" strings down to the smallest possible length in order to support installs on heavily MODded boards. For that reason I checked to find the smallest amount of unique text that would still identify the insert position.

Second, the code that you pasted is from another MOD. The fact is, neither of the two lines of code you posted appear in a "standard" phpBB file. If you look at a standard usercp_viewprofile.php file contents you will not find a second assign_vars string.

So once you get that straightened out, then perhaps we can try to figure out why the stars don't show up. Remember that you must have at least one member that has been registered for more than one year before anything appears...

No promises.

So with the Page Permissions MOD you dive right in, but a MOD that simply adds a tiny graphic to a couple of pages... that you don't trust me on.

Geez, y'all are fast. It's after midnight on a Saturday where I am, and I know I have no life, what excuse do the rest of you have?

Minor changes to the code (change alt= to title= in one place) and yes, the SQL insert statement has changed. You'll have to update it directly as the admin panel won't "see" the value until the name matches. Once you update the row (or simply delete it and insert a new one) then you can update the value via the ACP.

Hello,

It was only 10:45 PM or so when I posted. GMT -8

1.0.1 Update

Download link in first post updated
Download 1.0.1 ZIP

I included some extra star graphics (blue, green, and red) along with the original yellow star.gif. I also reduced the color depth, cutting the file size by 70% or more.

I also now use the template path and user selected style name as part of the image path. So you must now put the star.gif within the template folder. The copy command has been changed to

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ COPY ]-------------------------------------
#
copy star.gif to templates/subSilver/images/star.gif

Once this has been done, each of the php files must be edited to include the new location. A text file with update instructions from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 is included in the download, shown here as well.

Code: Select all

# Update instructions 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
# No template changes are required
# No admin panel code changes are required
# The changes involve adding the template path +
# the user selected theme name to the image path 
# location, also a new location for the star.gif

#
#-----[ COPY ]-------------------------------------
#
copy star.gif to templates/subSilver/images/star.gif

#
#-----[ OPEN ]-------------------------------------
#
viewtopic.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
<img src="' . $board_config['annual_stars']

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
img src="

#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]-------------------------------------
#
templates/' . $theme['template_name'] . '/

#
#-----[ OPEN ]-------------------------------------
#
memberlist.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
<img src="' . $board_config['annual_stars']

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
img src="

#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]-------------------------------------
#
templates/' . $theme['template_name'] . '/

#
#-----[ OPEN ]-------------------------------------
#
includes/usercp_viewprofile.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
<img src="' . $board_config['annual_stars']

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
img src="

#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]-------------------------------------
#
templates/' . $theme['template_name'] . '/

Each of the IN-LINE AFTER, ADD commands adds the template path and the theme name to the image location. Each line should go from

Code: Select all

<img src="' . $board_config['annual_stars']

to

Code: Select all

<img src="templates/' . $theme['template_name'] . '/' . $board_config['annual_stars']

instead.

Hehe, it's not about trust. It's more about last-second changes. As long as it's in here there might be little changes, that i don't want to hunt down. I'll rather wait until it's done, and then i don't have to worry about version chaos

Whee, i'm learning a little php now, so i might be making my own mods some time
