Simple Karma Challenge

[Highway of Life]

AH! okay... that explains it.
I was wondering what was going on...
Again, porting 2 Mods to 3 won't work (for obvious reasons demonstrated so nicely above. )
I know you can write up the code from scratch, just use theirs as a template of ideas. -- That's basically what I did with yours to achieve what I posted above in the example. -- but don't use their coding techniques... you can bet that 90% of it is going to be using incorrect methods.

Okay, I've finally got it working perfectly in "viewprofile". But I'm having trouble with "viewtopic".
See, I'm supposed to call this "functions_karma.php" file:

    $template->assign_vars(array(

        'KARMA' => $user->lang['KARMA'],
    ));
    
    return;
}

?>

using

Code: Select all

        // Advanced KARMA Mod
        include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_karma.' . $phpEx);
        grab_karma_rank($row['karma'], $row['user_type']);


where "$row" is to be replaced by whatever I can use to make this work. Unfortunately, looking at viewtopic.php, the $row seems to be the best thing:

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

$sql = $db->sql_build_query('SELECT', array(
    'SELECT'    => 'u.*, z.friend, z.foe, p.*',

    'FROM'        => array(
        USERS_TABLE        => 'u',
        POSTS_TABLE        => 'p',
    ),

    'LEFT_JOIN'    => array(
        array(
            'FROM'    => array(ZEBRA_TABLE => 'z'),
            'ON'    => 'z.user_id = ' . $user->data['user_id'] . ' AND z.zebra_id = p.poster_id'
        )
    ),

    'WHERE'        => $db->sql_in_set('p.post_id', $post_list) . '
        AND u.user_id = p.poster_id'
));

$result = $db->sql_query($sql);

$now = getdate(time() + $user->timezone + $user->dst - date('Z'));

// Posts are stored in the $rowset array while $attach_list, $user_cache
// and the global bbcode_bitfield are built
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
{


(taken straight from viewtopic.php)

Now, unfortunately, calling the "grab_karma_rank" function anywhere after the "{" makes the karma be the karma of one of the posters (don't know which one), but it repeats that karma on the whole topic. See for yourselves.

Now, how do I fix that? What variable should I use?
Also, I've tried using the following, but it doesn't work either:

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

    $sql = 'SELECT *
        FROM ' . POSTS_TABLE . '
        WHERE topic_id = ' . $topic_data['topic_id'];
    $result = $db->sql_query($sql);
    $poster = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
    $db->sql_freeresult($result);
    $sql = 'SELECT *
        FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
        WHERE user_id = ' . $poster['poster_id'];
    $result = $db->sql_query($sql);
    $target = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
    $db->sql_freeresult($result);
    include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_karma.' . $phpEx);
    grab_karma_rank($target['karma'], $target['user_type']);


[Handyman]

The last code you posted is calling an array of posts, not just a single post? so you would have to do this

Code: Select all

while ($target = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
{
 include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_karma.' . $phpEx);
    grab_karma_rank($target['karma'], $target['user_type']);
}
$db->sql_freeresult($result);


in place of $target = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);

[Pace]

Doesn't solve it, at least, not where I put it, but HoL has given me another suggestion:

basically, look in viewtopic at the way it's pulling and displaying the custom profile fields, you'll want to call it about the same way, it's using classes, so you would need something like:
include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_karma.' . $phpEx);
$karma = new karma_rank();
$karma_level_cache = $karma->grab_karma_rank($target['karma'], $target['user_type']);
Though that is a very rudimentary example, I'm hoping it will steer you in the right direction.

Remember, it's using cache for the viewtopic, so see how you can utilize that, and include a functions file that would do that it instead of modifying any of the core code.

I'll let you guys know if that works.

Sorry that I asks such a stupid question, but where I should install the MOD?

[Handyman]

actually, it's not a stupid question? it's in the wrong topic.
The StarFleetAcademy is for learning? not installing mods.

[Pace]

At some point, when I feel like it, I'll get back to working on this.

And once it works fully, I'll release it as a MOD.

Until then?

[Highway of Life]

Hi guys, I've been trying to get this to work for viewtopic, but I just can't figure out how to make it work like (custom) profile fields.
Once again, the best I can get is either the last person who posted, or the topic starter.

Edit: I'm in despair:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home.8/a/r/p/arpia/www/phpBB3/includes/functions_karma_p.php on line 3

And what is that file?

[Handyman]

that's really puzzling me because that code looks fine.

Couple things you can try, make sure there is no blank space after the ?>
make sure there is no blank space before the <?php

put a new line between the <?php the the function and see if it moves to line 4

[Highway of Life]

Hmm... I don?t see how { is a problem on line 3.
Your function looks like it should work.

I would look at the get rank function to see how that one works... that?s what you want to emulate, I believe in this situation.
