Couple of questions

[Garth]

Hi, this looks like a cool mod, just have a couple of noob questions before I buy!

1. Can you create an award given only when members reply to a specific topic?
2. My forum has close to 6000 members - if I activate awards that are based on post counts for instance, will all the relevant awards be given retroactively, and how server intensive would running this mod on a forum that size be?

Cheers!

1. Nothing built in but I could help write a custom badge for you if you reply to that topic it would award a specific badge.

2. Yes we have the system setup on install auto rebadges members. It does it chunks I believe 50 members at a time so it doesn't use up a lot of resources.

Sold!

Mod installed, could do with assistance with the specific topic badge - cheers!

This code assumes SMF 2.0 and will award badges to any member that posts in that topic

Requires you to create a custom badge in the add badge area with the action called topicbadge7079


Open Sources/Subs-Post.php

Find

Code: [Select]

// They've posted, so they can make the view count go up one if they really want. (this is to keep views >= replies...)

Add after

Code: [Select]

// Badge Awards
global $sourcedir, $modSettings;
if (!empty($modSettings['badgeawards_enable']))
{

global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/badgeawards2.php');
if ($topicOptions['id'] == 7079)
{

Badges_AwardBadge($posterOptions['id'],'topicbadge7079');
}

}
// End Badge Awards

That works just great, many thanks!

Would any problems occur if I add a bunch of elseif statements to this custom badge so I can check for multiple topic ids and award a different badge for each one?

Like this:

Code: [Select]

// Badge Awards
global $sourcedir, $modSettings;
if (!empty($modSettings['badgeawards_enable']))
{

global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/badgeawards2.php');
if ($topicOptions['id'] == 7079)
{

Badges_AwardBadge($posterOptions['id'],'topicbadge7079');
}

elseif ($topicOptions['id'] == 9000)
{

Badges_AwardBadge($posterOptions['id'],'topicbadge9000');
}

elseif ($topicOptions['id'] == 9500)
{

Badges_AwardBadge($posterOptions['id'],'topicbadge9500');
}

elseif ($topicOptions['id'] == 9900)
{

Badges_AwardBadge($posterOptions['id'],'topicbadge9900');
}

}
// End Badge Awards
But with a lot more elseifs?

I expect there's a better way of doing that but I'm a bit of a noob!

[SMFHacks]

That will work fine!

[Garth]

If I add about 50 of those would it still be OK or would it bog down the forum? Sorry for all the questions, I really appreciate your excellent support

[SMFHacks]

It would be ok since it only checks if that topic matches

[Garth]

Awesome, thanks so much!
