[spartanandjohn117]

Finally somebody overtook this MOD. Thank you, and I hope it goes well.

[azzurri]

Good luck!

May positive karma bestowed upon you!

I was so devistated to find out that this mod was nearly discontinued.

I payed particular notice to the following features that the previous author of this MOD had intended to add eventually:

A place on the user profile where you can view the comments.

That's one of the two features I would love to see. I'd like for their to be a section for karma comments on the Front Page of the UCP. That'd be awesome.

On a related note, I'd like to be able to make it mandatory for someone to comment when giving karma.

You can change the name Karma if you don't like it.

That's cool, also. I'd like to change "Karma" to "Reputation".

Anyways, thanks for picking up this MOD. I'll keep this thread bookmarked.

Bookmarking!

hm.. some fuatures was planned by me
so, first post updated see features section and todo list

PS
temporarily svn is empty i don't commit it to svn, while comments will be finished

[-CoS-]

I got a question. In this mod, do you give karma to an user directly or you give karma to a post and after that the user's karma is updated?

I'm looking for something like a post rating mod, but I'd prefer a karma mod in which you give karma to posts. You write something good, you get karma from it. This way, you reward good posts and have more possibilites, like view Top 10 Karma Posts.

Thanks!

[A_Jelly_Doughnut]

Yes, we're looking at rating posts (giving Karma to posts) influencing the user's rating.

[azzurri]

To me one of the most importat features is the comment function, along with information on when and in exactly what post the karma and comment was given. Good luck! Cant wait to see this mod.

2 azzurri

updated features and todo lists, again
and my question to all.. i think what install instructions like file attachment mod v2 or bbhide are more easy than original karma mod and most mods in this two mods all changes to phpbb code basically consists only one line with function.. but other mods have a lot of lines of code.. and my question, what type of installation do you like more with functions(1-2 lines with comments) or a lot of lines like most mods?
PS
another plus of functions, at upgrades number of changes will be decreased becouse most changes will be in functions which will be placed in includes/functions_karma.php
PPS
i more like functions. and what about you?

[Animusu]

Function of course, it saves us a lot of time, and it is easier to upgrade both the mod and phpbb3 core when something new is available.... =)

Also, I would like to ask for a minor feature too :: Is it possible to have a "karma rank title" instead of the number of the current karma (i.e. instead of displaying Karma: 8, it may be Karma: Blessed, based on a preset title in the ACP, for the karma value of 8) ?
