Custom Stars Mod

[Dgirllamius]

I'm looking for a custom stars mod, for V 1.5.1 where I can give my moderators different coloured stars.  One mod wants pink ones, and another wants red ones, but I need a mod to do this.

Does anyone have one or something which I could use?

maybe if you look for the php code that inserts the stars in the html, you can replace it with an included file that could be named stars.php and in that file you write a condition for each moderator, if the post doesn't belong to any of your moderators, then it'll default to the normal star... this is just the idea, I haven't looked into the code really...

any able coder that can tell if this would work?

Well, I don't fancy going into the code because for one, I don't know PHP well enough to write it.

Plus, I wouldn't know where to start for making a mod because I don't know how to code or anything.  All I know is the basics of HTML.

D'oh!

The code for the stars is in the load.php file, as shown below. Actually, here's what mine looks like -- I've edited it to assign a single graphic for each set of stars (PHPBB style)...

Code Select Expand


   /* create the memberinfo and memberstars entries */
   if ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $GodPostNum)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
   }
   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $SrPostNum)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star4.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
   }
   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $FullPostNum)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star3.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
   }
   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $JrPostNum)
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
   }
   else
   {
      $memberinfo[$user] = "";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/star1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
   }

   /* If this user is a moderator, and we aren't calling this from the IM */
   $modcheck=LoadRealName($user);

   if ($userprofile[$user]['memberGroup'] == 'Administrator')
   {
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/staradmin.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
      $memberinfo[$user] = "";
   }
   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['memberGroup'] == 'Global Moderator')
   {
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/stargmod.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
      $memberinfo[$user] = "";
   }
   elseif ($sender != "im" &&  in_array($user, $moderators))
   {
      $modinfo[$user] = "";
      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/starmod.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";
   }

I don't think it would be too difficult to do... Just create a thing allowing mods to select their own stars color by creating a folder with several different star images in it, then store the star options in the database and create a variable to pick up the appropriate star image...
