Mod Name / Version: ProfileStatusBar 1.1 <br /> <br />Description: This is a hack which was based on the Profile Star Rewards by JustDave <br />and tweaked by me. It assigns a value (from 0-5) based on the completeness of the user's <br />profile into the rating field. This hack assumes that you are not using the rating <br />function. Then it will include a "status bar" graphic showing the completeness of a user's <br />profile. This hack gives instructions for displaying the status bar with the posts, <br />in both flat and threaded mode, in the user's profile, on the Who's Online screen, and <br />in the User List. It even adds the ability to sort by profile status in the user list. <br />Version 1.1 made necessary tweaks to instructions for 6.1. <br />Version 2.0 made necessary tweaks to instructions for 6.2. <br /> <br />Working under: UBB.threads 6.2 <br /> <br />Any pre-requisites: Assumes you're not going to use the user rating feature. <br /> <br />Author(s): JoshPet, JustDave, Gardener <br /> <br />Credits: JoshPet suggested and JustDave developed the ProfileStarRewards hack. <br />This simply takes it one further, and uses a symbol which is more accepted if your <br />users don't like "people being rated". Graphics created by JoshPet. <br />Gardener created the script to update existing users. <br /> <br />Files Altered: changebasic.php, /admin/dochangeuser.php, showflat.php, showthreaded.php, <br />/languages/english/showprofile.php, showprofile.php, showprofile.tmpl, <br />showmembers.php, showmembers.tmpl, /languages/english/showmembers.php, <br />online.php, online.tmpl, /languages/english/online.php <br /> <br />Database Altered: Not Really. If you have previously used the Profile Rating feature <br />there is a Database Command below to clear those ratings. If you don't clear the ratings <br />your UserList sort by Profile Status won't be accurate. <br /> <br />New Files: empty.gif, profile1.gif, profile2.gif, profile3.gif, profile4.gif, profile5.gif <br />Also included in the zip is a script from Gardener "updateprofiles.php" which will update existing profiles of all your users for the status bar. <br /> <br />Special Notes: A good add on to this is my other mod which restricts viewing of profiles to <br />people with profiles 60% complete. <br /> <br />What the bars look like: <br />It will show []http://www.pettitfamily.net/josh/empty.gif[/] if the profile is empty (or not updated). <br />It will show []http://www.pettitfamily.net/josh/profile1.gif[/] if the profile is 20% complete (ie 1 star). <br />It will show []http://www.pettitfamily.net/josh/profile2.gif[/] if the profile is 40% complete (ie 2 star). <br />It will show []http://www.pettitfamily.net/josh/profile3.gif[/] if the profile is 60% complete (ie 3 star). <br />It will show []http://www.pettitfamily.net/josh/profile4.gif[/] if the profile is 80% complete (ie 4 star). <br />It will show []http://www.pettitfamily.net/josh/profile5.gif[/] if the profile is 100% complete (ie 5 star). <br /> <br /> <br />Profile Screen: <br />[]http://www.threadsdev.com/threads/php/uploads/54616-profilescreen.gif[/] <br /> <br /> <br />User List Screen: <br />[]http://www.threadsdev.com/threads/php/uploads/54617-userlistscreen.gif[/] <br /> <br /> <br />Who's Online Screen: <br />[]http://www.threadsdev.com/threads/php/uploads/54618-whoonlinescreen.gif[/] <br />

Great hack Josh! I've just installed it, so my beta testing is in it's infancy, but I think I found some problems with the instructions.<br /><br />One of the steps is to open and edit showprofile.php, yet this is not listed in the files altered list. The only showprofile.php file you have listed there is /languages/english/showprofile.php.<br /><br />In your files altered list you have listed /languages/english/online.tmpl. Should this be online.php?<br /><br />You also have one instance of the word Fidn:<br /><br />Well, there's the latest rants from beta-testing. The hack itself seems to work well though.<br /><br />Thanks again!

in showmembers.tmpl, need to add a </td> after the </a> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mod Name / Version: Profile Status Restriction 1.1 <br />    Version 1.1 - Updated for UBB.Threads version 6.2 <br /> <br />Description: This Hack Requires the Profile Status Bar Hack. <br />What it does is prohibit the viewing of profiles from users who do not have their profile at least 60% complete. <br />I call it "tit for tat profile viewing". If you wanna see profiles, then you have to fill yours in. <br />I have seen a BIG improvement in the number of completed profiles. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Working under: UBB.threads 6.2 <br /> <br />Any pre-requisites: Profile Status Bar Hack for 6.2 (from the first post in this thread) <br /> <br />Author(s): JoshPet of www.joshuapettit.com <br /> for discussions and bugs go to www.threadsdev.com <br /> <br />Date: 2/14/03 <br /> <br />Credits: JustDave for the core code of the Profile Status Bar hack. <br /> <br />Files Altered: showprofile.php, ubbt.inc.php, /templates/default/myhome.tmpl <br /> <br />Database Altered: No. <br /> <br />New Files: none <br /> <br />Notes: Again, this Requires the use of the Profile Status Bar hack to do the calculations and write the profile rating to the database. <br />

Josh I have the status bar working on my site. I then added the restriction hack and it didn't allow me to access profiles. I had mine filled out 100%... did I miss a step or need to run the update profiles again?<br /><br />version 6.2.2

I'll check this. Perhaps there's something missing from my instructions. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I updated the instructions for the profile status restriction add on.... I need to go to school for copy and paste. I had missed a line in the instructions. <br /><br />It should work for you now.

All better <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thanks Josh good one as usual

I made some new images to replace the standard blue bars that are included with this mod. I made series of different coloured smilies instead, so users get between 0 to 5 smilies based on how complete their profile is. <br /><br />I did this because I'd had complaints that the blue bar was "boring" (my forums are populated by teenagers). However, it's had the added bonus of encouraging people to complete their profile because they want "all the colours".<br /><br />So, just an idea to keep in mind to personalize this mod. If you make images that are relevant to your forum and/or theme, it might be added incentive to complete the profile.

Feel free to share the images if you wish <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Great idea Coy! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I also made a set of orange bars for a site, I should share those here as well.

Attached are my "smilie bars" to replace the standard blue profile status bars. Be forewarned, they're a bit gaudy, but the kids really like them.

My profile page sometimes showed the wrong percentage and it seems I had slipped a lot in the copy/paste when installing the script on that page. Or was this a bug that's been fixed? Just curious.

I haven't noticed a problem. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Probably just me then. =] When I followed the instructions in this version correctly it worked just fine. Don't know how I could've missed a couple of steps though. Was hoping it was somebody elses fault. ;]

Thanks for sharing coy7. These will come handy sometime soon <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Small fix in the online.php script:<br /><br />Change this:<br /> if ($Status == "User") { $Status = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/blank.gif\" alt=\"{$ubbt_lang['USER_MOD']}\" border=\"0\" />"; }<br /><br />To this:<br /> if ($Status == "User") { $Status = "<img src=\"{$config['images']}/blank.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" />"; }<br /><br />Otherwise there will be a tool tip saying "Moderator" if you happen to hover the pointer above the blank gif next to normal users.

My users seem to have found a bug in this...<br /><br />Users in one particular user group have noticed that if they make themselves invisible, their status bar switches to 80% complete, even though their profile is really 100% complete. Once they are visible in the user list again, their profile bar goes back to 100%.<br /><br />This little quirk greatly offends them <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Any idea of what is causing it or how to fix it?

It was originally set up like that.... so the "visible" field counted.<br /><br />Here's how you can fix it :<br /><br />In the changebasic.php and /admin/dochangeuser.php script, find the bit that looks like this and remove it:<br /><br />if ($Visible == "yes") {<br /> $stars = $stars + 5;<br />}<br /><br /><br /><br />Then also find where it says:<br /><br />$stars / 8;<br /><br />And change it to:<br /><br />$stars / 7; <br /><br />(as we are now only requiring 7 things.)<br /><br /><img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
