Thanks so much for the plugin. I really enjoy the karma plugin. I would like to see the karma system integrated with smf, so whenever a user post a message in the forum, the user earns a karma, or when a user post photos in the rsgallery, the users earns karma. Basically, I would like it to be able to automatically earn karma points as the user interact with the site.
Can you work with your programmer Marc to enhance this karma plugin? I'm willing to chip in and pay for his work! I'm sure other here in this forums would be interested as well!
Karma Component, Modules and Plugin Released!
Marc Galang (my programmer) and I are ready to release the Karma Suite. There are 3 basic parts to the Joomla/CB Karma suite:
1. There's a component with back end controls for editing user's monthly and total karma, along with the day lock.
2. There are two modules for displaying karmas on your site.
3. There's a Community Builder plugin for voting and displaying the karma in the user's CB profile.
The Karma component configuration allows you to set the day lock. This is how many days between user votes. There is IP tracking to prevent people from voting for themselves under different usernames.
The Karma component management allows you to select individual users and modify their monthly or total(what I call yearly) karma. Management also allows for the resetting of all monthly or total karmas of individual or all users.

There are two modules. The monthly and yearly modules allow you to show as many positive and negative karmas as you want. You can display positive, negative or both karmas. You can also input text and html in the module footer text for display below the karmas ratings. Karmas can be shown by username or name.

The Karma Community Builder plugin places a tab in the user's CB profile. Inside the tab you can give the user positive or negative karma using the thumbs up or thumbs down icons. The user's monthly and total karma is also shown in the same tab.

I only take credit for the ideas and part of the code in the modules, and for paying my programmer Marc Galang for his work. Marc did all the code. I recommend hiring Marc for your custom joomla development. He's quick and reasonably priced. He can be found at

I've decided to release this system as a thank you to the Community Builder community. I'm accepting paypal donations to help me recoup some of my expenses.
