Reputation Points

I see that the new version 4.6 has removed reputation points.

This is a real shame because these kinds of things are important to lots of people – both because they like to be able to demonstrate how they have been valued by others – and also because it gives newcomers a better sense of the value of the advice they are giving from other members.
Now this has gone and there isn't even a choice to display reputation points.
It's great that Invision regularly updates the platform, but it's not so great that Invision makes these kinds of decisions on behalf of all of its clients simply to remove features without too much consultation.

Has there been any consultation about this? Maybe somebody could link me to the discussion.

Current Ranks

Having removed reputation points it seems that Invision has now introduced a ranking system. All well and good – but as usual this is to be no choice other than possibly to go round deleting each individual rank and if that happens, I'm not too sure what gets displayed.

Anyway I have no problem with ranks but what I find been extraordinary is that even long-standing members of the community – and this includes administrators and other site team, seem to have had their "current ranks" set at – zero – Newbie.

I have a sense that this wasn't intended and so something has been overlooked in the implementation.

It would also be nice to have a choice "display current rank? – Y/N"
we would probably choose to keep the current ranking system but streamlines a bit.

We certainly like the reputation points back please

Hi, 

The reputation system is still "alive", it is just not displayed anymore in the author's pane (left side of a post). We've restored it back by modifying the template in the theme. It is a little "tricky" because there is three places where you need to do it in your theme forums/front/topics/postContainer template file : 

. to restore reputation badges/levels, around original line 110, add the following code after the </li> :

{{if $comment->author()->reputationImage()}}
    <li data-role='reputation-image' class='ipsPadding:half'>
        <img src='{file="$comment->author()->reputationImage()" extension="core_Theme"}' title='{{if $comment->author()->reputation()}}{$comment->author()->reputation()}{{endif}}' alt=''>
    </li>
{{endif}}

so you'll obtain something that looks like this, considering surrounding code :

        </ul>
    </li>          
{{if $comment->author()->reputationImage()}}
    <li data-role='reputation-image' class='ipsPadding:half'>
        <img src='{file="$comment->author()->reputationImage()" extension="core_Theme"}' title='{{if $comment->author()->reputation()}}{$comment->author()->reputation()}{{endif}}' alt=''>
    </li>
{{endif}}
{{endif}}
{{if $comment->author()->member_id}}

so, it is important to place the new code after both </ul> and </li> ending the counters line.

 

. To restore the reputation counter, add the following code around original line 96, just after the <ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats"> :

<li data-role='reputation-badge'>
    {template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}
</li>

so you'll obtain something that looks like (considering surrounding code) :

<ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats">
    <li data-role='reputation-badge'>
        {template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}
    </li>
{{if isset( $comment->author_solved_count )}}
    <li>

 

Edit for mobile display (add back reputation counter on mobile devices display) :

. To restore the reputation counter in mobiles display, add the following code around original line 57, inside the <h3> just after the {template="userLink" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author(), $comment->warningRef(), TRUE, $comment->isAnonymous()"} and before the </h3>

 
<span class="ipsType_medium">{template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}</span> 

so you'll obtain something that looks like (considering surrounding code) : 

<h3 class='ipsType_sectionHead cAuthorPane_author ipsType_break ipsType_blendLinks ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center'>                               	 {template="userLink" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author(), $comment->warningRef(), TRUE, $comment->isAnonymous()"}
	&nbsp;
	<span class="ipsType_medium">{template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}</span>                
</h3>

 

Save your template file, reload your topic : job done !

I think (and hope !) @BankFodder already knows about that tool.

I think you are wrong, as evidenced by their reply to the topic I linked to.

I think the only tweak  I'm asking is the choice to switch off for particular member groups.

Thank you @Dexter_X and @Genestoy. Both of these adjustments worked great on our forum. No longer having Reputation count on the author pane was frustrating for some of our users, but now they have it back. Appreciated.

@Jordan Invision @Matt @Rikki @bfarber @Andy Millne @Stuart Silvester @Mark @Ryan Ashbrook @Ehren

 

Hey guys – I think probably quite a lot of people would like to have the reputation points being displayed again. How about simply having a choice to switch them on or off in the same way that is now possible with the achievement system?

Consistency AND Choice. – What's not to like?

@Dexter_X @Genestoy  Thanks for making this easy to get back up and running. Is there any way to get it back onto the mobile view? The code change worked perfect for desktop but I am not seeing it to the right of their name in mobile. I have gotten this far but do not know what code to add and where.

cAuthorPane_mobile

 

It was not there in 4.5 either

Thanks, couldn't remember

Sorry to bump an old topic but it's semi related with getting reputation points to show on mobile. How to get the usergroup and usergroup icon from the userprofile to show on mobile responsive view in topics such as below?
