Karma System [Library Support]

[Shorty]

You do that with a template mod. In the mini-profile or the profile templates just add 'Karma: $[user.likes]'.

Wow, I'm not used to how much you can do with layout templates, but that's great. Thank you!

Could this be utilized to make a list of the people with the most karma based on post likes?

[Shorty]

Unfortunately, no. The user likes data isn't available on every single page. So you can't loop through each member to get them all, then display the highest. This wouldn't be possible with a plugin either. Sorry.

[atalkingfish]

Welp... oh well, I guess. It would be a lovely feature to promote good posts.

[Shorty]

Sorry.

Shorty, I have a question about the placement of the links for the karma in the mini-profile. Is there a way to move it? I already put "karma" where I wanted it but I was having a little trouble moving the other part.

When a site also has the "alias" script plugin running the karma bugs out. Both the original user, and their alias, end up defaulting back to zero because the karma seems to not want to save. You may wish to talk to wormopolis about a work-around for this~

Shorty is there any way to include Karma actions in the security logs?

[Shorty]

No. I can't add content to the admin panel. Sorry.

The Alter code rewrites the MP with alter data and strips regular user data out, so if the karma system is looking at that first link for a user's href to profile, it will either find nothing or a link to a post.  It was mentioned to me that things that apply to a member (like styling a specific member's name) shouldnt apply to the alter or it will make it too obvious that the alter belonged to that member.  same reason I stripped out stars and custom titles, and gave each lter its own personal text and signature plus stats.

if I put back in the href to the user's profile, then it wont direct to the Alter's profile post anymore, as well as run the risk of any plugin aiming at a member link to affect the Alter's display.  Im not saying this to put more work on shorty'ss bench here, but a quick solution would be to check if that display name HAS a valid member href before doing anything further.  Im not 100% sure the process he used in his code though.  Im absolutely welcome to discuss it however.

Sorry. I have been really busy with school, to have looked at her issue. And I thank you Wormo for looking at it. Would it not be possible just to have my plugin run first? Then it places what it should first before yours strips all the data(like href) out. Also the line of code I used to get the user's id was this.

var userId = $(this).find('a.user-link').attr('href').split('/user/')[1];

[Wormopolis]

when the user presses the button to add/subtract karma, does it run a user id check again? running your plugin first would make it not trip on an alter profile to display karma, and then alter would remove whatever karma stuff you had added to the MP. I think the trouble is happening when someone hits a button?

[Shorty]

That's whats happening. It's when you click the button it looks for a id.

EDIT: Can you link me to the code so I can mess with it?

[Wormopolis]

the Alter plugin?

[Shorty]

Yes please.
