FAQ - Please Read!
* Why is my reputation at zero? It was higher before I installed this mod!
Reputation is split into two counts - your points and your power. In a fresh install of the Reputation System, it takes 100 points to get 1 power, which shows in your posts.
* So what happened to my points?
They're still there - check your profile. You just had less than 100 points before installing this mod, and the Reputation System rounds power down.
* How can I give my members points for their posts and topics made before I installed this mod?
Simple - download GiveReputation.php from the mod's download page, upload it to your forum's root directory, and point your browser to it. Make sure you decide how many points they get per post/topic before starting!
* What if I just want to give everyone the same amount, not based on posts and topics?
Using phpMyAdmin or another database management software, execute the following query:
--- Code: (SMF1) ---UPDATE smf_members
SET karmaGood = 1000, karmaBad = 0
--- End code ---

--- Code: (SMF2) ---UPDATE smf_members
SET karma_good = 1000, karma_bad = 0
--- End code ---

* smf_ is the default SMF db_prefix, yours could be different. Replace 1000 with however many points you want to give people.
* The box doesn't pop up in a post, or the images don't show!
First try a hard refresh - press control-shift-r (command-shift-r on a Mac) to clear the old version of the page your computer was keeping. If that doesn't help, make sure the changes were made to the files in your custom theme. SMF 2.0 does this by default, but SMF 1.1 does not. To see the install instructions for your version, go to the mod's download page and click the button next to the version you installed. Choose your SMF version, and press Submit. It will then give you manual install instructions, and you can follow along for each of the files that are in your theme's directory.
* Can I change the algorithm used to give reputation?
Although it is technically possible to totally change the way reputation is given, there is no built-in way to change it. Points given are directly related to the power of whoever is giving it to them.
* Can I use any other karma-based modifications with this one?
NO! This is the #1 cause of major problems with the reputation system! Since this modification changes so much of how Karma works, it really doesn't play nicely with other karma mods, and could cause some big problems with your site.
More will be added as I see them.

Advanced Reputation System v1.8.2 for SMF 2.0 RC5Important Instructions!
Before using this mod, uninstall all other Karma-changing mods. This mod changes so much that most other Karma mods will be incompatible.
 
After installing, go into Configuration > Features & Options > Core Features and make sure Reputation is turned on. Then, go to Members > Permissions > General Permissions and select which membergroups you want to be able to give positive reputation. Click 'Advanced Options' and make sure Add Permission is selected in the bottom left dropdown box. In the bottom right, select 'Can +reputation other users' and click 'Set Permission'. Repeat for 'Can -reputation other users' and 'Disable display of own reputation'. Then select your Moderator groups and give them the permission to 'Delete reputuation actions'.

That's about it! There are a dozen or so settings under Configuration > Figures & Options > Reputation that you can mess around with, and six images that you can change if you feel like it.

Wow, Yoda. You've really done a great job!

I like this. So much more dynamic than the Karma feature.

mnpsgadam:
and i am guessing that there wont be 1.1.x version? :(

Eliana Tamerin:
Don't count on it. Once 2.0 gets finalized, there won't be many 1.1.x mods made at all. Just too time-consuming to support an older version. And by the time 2.0 gets finalized, TP should be ready to roll on there along with a bunch of other mods.

mnpsgadam:
i do like this mod a lot. i just would like to be able to use it right now without upgrading. i was looking at doing a vbulletin board and you just made me stick with SMF! :)
