Karma Description Mod

[Pratt]

Hi, no word on a 2.0 compatible version?

I guess I'll have to code my own "stripped-down" version of this mod, I only need the descriptions and installing the advanced reputation mod, is just a little to much for what i need

[Jade Elizabeth]

Oh please share that with me!!
I want it too . If you need any help, I am available...I don't know PHP though . I'm good with wording and graphics .

I tried to port it and didn't get anywhere with it, being too daft to translate the old db functions into new ones. You are welcome though to my attempt and see if you can fix it.

OK chaps I tried to install this and it did not work. I am on 1.1.4 and I used the default theme.

Obviously when it did the check it tried to install the russian files which I reckoned I didn't need so I let if go ahead and do it's thing.

it seemed to work and when I looked under Karama I had all the tick boxes but none of the text to describe what each tick box does......

Any suggestions. I have uninstalled the mod and await guidance. Which version should I install??

Thanks in anticipation

You are missing the language specific strings. What language is your forum using?

English, English utf-8 - some else?

Sorry everyone...I was having a funny five mins.....Installed the right package and it's working wonderfully.....

How silly do I feel....

Hi,
I had SMF 1.1.5 with the Karma Auto Mod installed.
I installed This Karma Description mod as well and ran into the common problem with 'Main'
So I uninstalled it and things seemed back to normal until I checked in my admin's karma settings page.
Despite the fact that the Karma Description Mod is uninstalled and deleted from my server, I still have all of the Karma Descriptions settings options in my admin page!

How do I remove this? Or has this already messed things up to the point that I should do a fresh install of SMF and start over?

Thanks in advance!

Using this mod, I had a member give karma to another member, but the topic link in the log points to the main forum page - not to a specific post or PM.

How do you think this member managed to give karma like that, with this mod installed? P.S. he is a known troublemaker, so somehow he managed to do this.

I have used this mod with three different hosting services.  Results varied.  In one case the mod worked flawlessly.  In another the mod did not include the referring message about half the time.  In the third case this problem was only seen with certain members. 

In the second case I eventually fixed the problem by uninstalling the mod completely and reinstalling it. 

In the third case something very strange happened.  My forum was almost a year old when all of the karma scores were reset to 0.  People became so upset that their precious karma was lost that members actually left my forum.  I had no idea people cared so much.

[Jade Elizabeth]

They do care so much, if you have an old db backup you can put the scores back . My forum HEAVILY depends on karma, and the Advanced Rep system ended up ruining our scored, I had to import the old scores, everyone was upset.
I used this mod and it was flawless, I suspect something else was interfering with it.

That it works flawlessly on one of the forums causes me to suspect that it could be a problem with the hosting company.  The buggy forum has a tendency to go down alot sometimes for hours. 

I'm new to this Admin thing.  My brother is a fanatic right-wing activist and I'm embarrased to even mention the kinds of forums that he has recently put me in charge of.  Is it typical for a forum to go down so often?  I know it happens multiple times in a week sometimes for a few minutes at a time sometimes for hours.  I looked but did not find good information comparing various hosting services' uptime.  When the forum goes down the right-wingers start acting paranoid.

I just installed the Ultimate Profile mod. I don't see the links for "Who change my Karma" etc, that were in the profile summary. Members can't check their Karma comments now. The Karma log is still fine and Karma works fine, just this little detail.

Is there a way I can make this work? If I have to code it in myself I will. Want them to be able to access Karma from the Ultimate Profile layout.

Thanks!

[Kindred]

the UP mod replaces the profile section (if I recall correctly). This means that ANY mod that you have affecting the profile will likely have to be manually applied over the UP mod, in the new template....

[cassie]

Kindred,

Yes, from the reply I received on the UP mod board, this is the case.

I'm trying to apply the code changes for the Profile.template.php file that are specified for the Karma description mod, to the UltimateProfile.template.php.

I can do the first find/replace of code for the Karma mod, but the second find is

                    </table>  </td>  </tr>'; // Show the standard "Save Settings" profile button.

Can't find that series of code in UltimateProfile.template.php

So close, yet so far....

I tried to uninstall UP, uninstall Karma mod, then reinstall UP, then Karma mod, but I cannot uninstall Karma mod without getting two errors.

Can someone help me with this? I know there are others who like the UP and also have Karma description mod installed. Would love to get this perfected. 

Thank you!

Hi.  I'm new this forum thing, so please be patient.  I have a question about mods.  If the mod is compatible with my version of SMF, which is 1.1.5, is it necessary to modify the mod before installing? 

I attempted to install two mods, one was for embedding youtube and the other was a karma description mod.  The last error went something like this.

1. Execute Modification Karma_Description_Mod_1.xml Modification parse error
2. Execute Modification - Modification parse error
3. Execute Modification Karma_Description_Mod_2.xml Modification parse error
4. Execute Modification - Modification parse error

I screamed when I saw that!  I was given the option not to continue with the install, so I aborted.  I then later went back and read the instructions for how to modify the mod, but it seemed like a lot of work.  Is there a more automatic way of doing it?

Says "unable to load main template" when i try and rep someone.

Very nice I used it till i upgraded to smf 2 beta

[venex]

I need help. I installed it and when I try to change the setting it says everything in another language and I can't translate it because I don't understand that language...
I see something like: "ID ïîëüçîâàòåëåé, êîòîðûå íå ìîãóò èçìåíÿòü êàðìó. Íàïðèìåð: 2,412,88"

My forum is in spanish, but, as you see, I can understand english. I want that MOD in english so I can translate it in spanish. Who can help me?!?!

edit: I also noticed another error just now... when I try to give someone a + or - it says: "unable to load main template", as musicmad said...
