Rank Requirement for Karmas

[deadend123]

Hey, is it okay if you can generate a code where if a member reaches a certain rank or rank requirement, they'll be able to give karma?

Thanks.

before I start on this, I want to make sure I have all the details. when you say rank, you are talking about post count right? so you want it where someone has to reach a certain postcount before they can start using Karma? Or are there other factors involved?

[deadend123]

I want it to where they have to reach a certain post count.

[Wormopolis]

excellent! that will make it much easier to code. I will start on this tonight.

I am back home in Vegas and should have this done today!

This should work for you:

Global footer


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
//  Post requirements for Karma use - version 1.0
//  by Wormopolis - wormocodes.proboards.com
//  Do not repost - keep header intact

var postsRequiredToUseKarma=100;


//  no need to edit below


if(location.href.match('board=')) {
pstcnt=0;
if (document.cookie.match(/postcount=(\d+),?(\d+)/)) {
 pstcnt=RegExp.$1;
 pstcnt2=RegExp.$2;
 pstcnt=(pstcnt2 ? parseInt(pstcnt+pstcnt2) : parseInt(pstcnt));
}
if (pstcnt<=postsRequiredToUseKarma) {
for (lnks=document.getElementsByTagName('a'), i=0; i<lnks.length; i++) {
if (lnks[i].href.match(/action=karma/)) {
lnks[i].style.display="none";
lnks[i].previousSibling.nodeValue="";
lnks[i].nextSibling.nodeValue="";
lnks[i].parentNode.innerHTML=lnks[i].parentNode.innerHTML.replace(/karma:\s(\d+)/i,'');
}
}
}
}

if(location.href.match('action=viewprofile') || (location.href.match('thread=') && !location.href.match(/action=post/i))){
 var ahh=document.getElementsByTagName('a')
 for(q=0;q<ahh.length;q++){
   if(ahh[q].href.match('viewprofile&user='+pb_username)){
     postcount=ahh[q].parentNode.parentNode.innerHTML.split('Posts: ')[1].split(/</)[0];
     expDate=new Date();
     expDate.setYear(expDate.getFullYear()+1);
     document.cookie="postcount="+postcount+"; expires="+expDate;
     break;
   }
 }
}
// -->
</script>

Thank you!
Oh and can you make it to where staff can add/remove a karma?

[Wormopolis]

you mean make it where a particular person isnt affected by the script, or do you mean actually edit someones karma? Anyone who can edit profiles of other members should be able to edit someones karma. No code would be able to actually edit that number because it is stored on serverside.

[deadend123]

Isn't affected by the script.
I've noticed that whoever can edit profiles (other than admin) cannot edit karmas.

[Wormopolis]

I stand corrected. I just checked that myself on a test site. only ppl with rank of admin (not just main admin but anyone with administrator level) can actually modify karma.

We can mod this script in 2 ways. either make a list of ppl you dont want affected by the script, or make it where anyone with an admin button in the menubar isnt affected. or both actually.

[deadend123]

Umm, I'll take the list of people.

[deadend123]

Also, the regular code doesn't work.

[Wormopolis]

URL? I thought it was working after you said "Thank You".

[deadend123]

Yeah, its just that I never tested it. No one can karma though, but even if I change their post count on/above 100, they still can't give karmas.

[Wormopolis]

have them visit their profile and then try again. the code has to store a cookie.
