I'm working on customizing my karma system a little bit. Renaming it, making it so only certain usergroups can add or remove, and possibly making it so once you post once in a certain category or make a certain amount of posts you get x karma. I'm also fiddlin with the idea of making it so every day you post, you get one karma, similar to www.gamefaqs.com

Has anybody already done any of this? I don't want to reinvent the wheel, here.

I think I found how to make it so only admins may edit karma.

Go to line 224 of fbprofile.php

(components/com_fireboard/template/default/plugins/fbprofile/fbprofile.php)

Change:

Code:

if ($fbConfig['showkarma'] && $userid != '0')

To:

Code:

if ($fbConfig['showkarma'] && $userid != '0' && $uIsAdm)

If the user is not an administrator, they get the "too soon" message, basically.

Working on changing that now.

I'm not sure if this worked for other people but it didn't work for me

any update on this?..

Would be great if we had this...

I'd been working on this in my spare time, of which I've had almost none lately.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm aware that that fix didn't work, and I'll probably be working on this some more this week.

Evening Everyone. Not sure how much I can offer outside this one thing. To change the name of Karma to something else is pretty easy. Go to /administrator/components/com_fireboard/language/english.php (or your language).

That should do it!

Hope that helps...I don't like the eastern religious implications of the word Karma so this was a necessary fix
