Karma Description Mod

[TrueSatan]

@ Alundra

Probably it's best to do it the easy way and go to ACP>Permissions and remove permission for them to view the Karma log rather than adding even more to what already is a huge modification to karma.php

@ look up

This isn't something I'd advise as if it is done admins won't be able to monitor the karma system for abuse...by default admins always have all options available to them. BTW an admin with server access could interrogate the database even if the code was changed.

@ gk-dante

The mod will have to be translated into your language for it to work for you...the blank parts show that text strings for your language are not available in it. You would need to translate Admin.english.php, ModSettings.english.php, Who.english.php, Help.english.php, index.english.php, ManagePermissions.english.php, Errors.english.php, and Profile.english.php and if you use a custom theme you will need to manually install the mod into it.

but i want them to be able to see who applauded them and why, and why they were smited. perhaps it would be easier to make it so only admin can see the who part?

I'll have to let Grek take a look and see if he is willing to make the changes for you...I don't want to get into recoding his mod without his permission and I'm rather under the cosh regarding time pressures...

i understand, however i am not worried about user's abusing the karma system.
so, is there a way it can be done?  my user's don't know i can see the comments and i don't want the temptation there to read them.

[Jade Elizabeth]

Then you shouldn't have downloaded the log?

[look up]

i didn't download anything.  there's a link in their profile.

hm...i guess i could go into the code and erase the links from the profile somehow.  i wouldn't even know where to start doing that though.

[TrueSatan]

If you want to remove the links from users profiles then simply use ACP>Features and Options>Karma and uncheck "Enable karma links in users profiles" This would stop users viewing the log on their own profiles too but so would simply removing the link code as you suggest doing.

I would suggest that an admin who might fall to such temptation would also fall to the temptation of reversing any code change we give you to make so the change becomes rather pointless.

good grief.
does this mean you're not going to help me with the code or offer any further assistance otherwise?

That stops what you wanted.
Send the file and I'll do it

[TrueSatan]

I meant that while I'll give you all the support I can on the general running of the mod, particularly in an unmodified form, that none of us can guarantee to make you the custom changes you request. Often such changes are left to the mod developer to consider and no mod developer is required to make them.

I am building a website using smf 1.1.4 and I am having the following problem with the karma option.  When I select give or smite I get the following error.

Code Select Expand


Code:

An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to load the 'main' template.


I am not sure what the problem is.  I have tried uninstalling the karma description mod to see if that would make a difference, but it seems not to.  I found that the karma uninstall and then simply overwriting the karma.php file with the original brought it back to original state.  The I tried reinstalling the karma description mod again and see what happens.  So...

Weird...  I install the Karma Description Mod version 2.3 RU and it gives me a few errors.  But then when I click on the karma buttons is doesn't take me to the 'add description page' to enter a reason...  when I go into the features area in the admin panel and look at the karma options, there's a bunch of blank check boxes with no information near them.

Anyone know what the issue is will this?

[TrueSatan]

The "ru" in the mod name should alert you that you have selected a Russian language version of the mod and by installing it into a forum that is not set to use Russian language you will get blank check boxes etc...

You appear to have introduced an issue into the main template that isn't there in a clean install and that is affecting this mod...your error log might give pointers to the exact area of the problem.

Hey guys, i updated my forum to 1.1.4 yesterday and installed this mod, translated everything to my language etc... and everything works but popup notification. When pm notification is selected everything is ok, but popup doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

ps. one more thing, i just wanted to see if it will deinstall with no problems, and there was a problem with karma.php, i did not perform deinstall, just wanted to see if everything will be ok.

Ok, Thanks Tru.  I'll check that out and report back.

[DWillis]

woot.  Ok, the description mod works alright now.  I didn't realize the RU was the russian version and now all seems to be ok.

Now to figure out how to make a block in tiny portal to display the most recent karmas.  Thanks!

@ Zoky

The mod clearly stated during installation that you should take backup of your database and files and you have now seen why this is so stated...we know unintalling from Karma.php can be a problem thus the backup would allow you to replace the current file. If you didn't make the backup then replacing it with a fresh copy from the SMF installation package and manually editing that to add in any other mods or edits you use is your best option.

Please see if the popup works properly when you use the SMF default theme and English (not English utf8) as the language...if it works properly there then there must be a problem with the edits you have made.

[Jade Elizabeth]

I'd double check all the code is there, cause I recently lost some because I overwrote a file by accident, and now its back and all is well

@ TrueSatan

This is only mod which modifies Karma.php, so i've just replaced it with original one and it all went fine.

Still, after reinstalling this mod, if users choose to recieve notifications about karma change by popup, there is no popup. They can only be notified by pm.

Popup for everything else works fine (pm notification, etc.)

Maybe there is a problem with karma.php, i don't know which part of code is responsible for sending karma change notification popup, maybe i can manually fix it?

My websites popup works fine, Maybe you should double check your codes?
