Rep

[DarkAngelBGE]

Yeah, the bug has not really been fixed, but when I first looked at it I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but I will try another time.

I just figured it is not useful to lose so much time on it, if there is such a nice workaround.

You guys beat me to it.

Okay this is where the problem is:

$info['downs'] = abs ($info['rep'] - $info['ups']);

As you see when 'rep' is bigger (because I changed it manually), the 'ups' do not change. That's why there will be more 'downs'. So I just have to change that formula here.

And here is the solution:

    $DB->query("SELECT r.CODE, m.rep
                FROM members m
                LEFT JOIN reputation r ON (m.id = r.member_id and r.CODE = '01')
                WHERE m.id = '$memid' GROUP BY m.id");
    
    $ups = '';
    $downs = ''
    
    while( $info = $DB->fetch_row() )
    {
    	if( $info['CODE'] == '01' ) $ups += 1;
    	else $downs += 1;
    }
    $manually = abs( $info['rep'] - ($info['ups'] + $info['downs']) );
    
    $DB->query("SELECT m.id, m.name, m.rep
                FROM members m
                LEFT JOIN reputation r ON (m.id = r.member_id and r.CODE = '01')
                WHERE m.id = '$memid' GROUP BY m.id");
    
    $info = $DB->fetch_row();
    $info['upss'] = $ups;
    $info['downs'] = $downs;
    $info['manually'] = $manually;

Need another query to actually iterate over the rep changes and to assign the ups and downs. Now when we have done that we compare the real rep number to the sum of the ups and downs. The difference between them is the amount of rep that was manually changed, which we will need to supply the skin with to have some field "Manually changed'.

Well, I am not going to use this as I once in a while recount the reputation statistics and, as last time, manually changed rep gets lost then.

So we will stick with the current method. Just wanted to proove that I could solve this if I wanted to.

*Is utterly confused on PHP coding* Um, whatever you say Tim

Timmy: You're missing an ending ; on $downs=''

The current solution is fine with me (manually giving the GoTM/MoTM awards) - simple but effective

Yep I figure most of it out

you should make some tutorials Tim

Anyway, it is easier to change the rep manually good job Timbo

and thanks for the rep changes too
