vBExperience

[Phalynx]

Having a link in the post bit to give points to that user would be great. I have been hard coding that since I first installed.
Nice idea, will implement this.


The new activities page is awesome. We now need a block developed to pull these stats to our vba cmps homepages.
Nice idea, will code this.

Waiting for final version and more creative mods from you.

Beta 4 of the new vBExperience 3.8.4 has been released. This release brings outstanding changes to the way vBExperience displays Awards. I have also recreated icons for the awards and also provided 32x32 icons. Every Award has also an explanation of what fields it uses for calculation.
Also, two additional Pointproviders, improved Activites and several fixes are improving the whole package. This release is stable, the next version will be the release candidate.

[Eryeal]

I'm having a problem with the levels. I import a particular level to try, do the Recount in AdminCP/Experience ... and the levels don't adjust. I have a little over 1,000 users, and one user at Level 99. I've gone from importing the lowest to the highest level file, recount on each, and there are no changes at all.

Also, how do you put the awards pics of the old version, on the 3.8.4 version?

The activity bars in the postbit won't show up. It just shows "Points ####, Level #, Activity 99%" How can I get the bars to show up? Also, the bars aren't showing up under the Experience tab on the profiles.

Edit: Haha, I got it. I had to reinstall the images into the correct folder for my new skin, lol.

- Fixed GetActivityAll() on Profiles

3.8.4.1, 14th August 2009
- Fixed issues with low/high activity
- Improved speed by recounting activity

[Eruantien]

What is the basis behind the activity percentage? Not a huge deal, just wanted to know how it is calculated.

[Phalynx]

From the description and readme.txt:
Calculation of the activity
The system calculates the activity by taking the average post count/visitormessages/group discussion/Blog entries of the ten most active user and comparing it to own post count. This can be set to count only the last X days, f.e. 21 days.

[Damis]

Works great. Thanks for the mod.

It's here! vBExperience 3.8.5 Beta 2 has arrived. It features promotions based on a xperience value that YOU can define. Experience, Tags, Posts, Friends - all can be used for a promotion to a higher usergroup.
Achievements are working the same way: Define the points that are needed to achieve them! Achievements are completing the idea behind the Awards.
A new tabbed interface will make it easy to navigate between the grown featureset.

Upgrade Instructions
1. Copy ALL (I mean ALL - That is a common error!) files from upload_via_ftp/ to the server.
2. ReImport product_vbexperience385.xml, allow overwrite
3. If you modified any of the vBExperience templates, revert them
4. Check all Awards, correct their URL to the new path /xperience/icons/. If you don't have custom awards, use the "clear award"-command to clear and re-create them.
5. Run AdminCP/Experience/Recount

History
3.8.5 Beta 2, 02nd September 2009
- Just a short note: Condition in Achievements and Promotions are calculated in POINTS, not in counts of items.
If you choose 10 Day, you must enter the points needed for this.
For example: You have an achievement for 10 days. You have set 2 points for every day since registering. Calculation: 10*2 = 20
You will have to set 20 as the condition.
- New tabbed interface. If you want to change the style, edit the template xperience_navbar_css
- Promotions now showing usergroups and conditions for a promotion to the next group
- You can import old vBExperience Legacy promotions (that were created within level.xml)
- Achievements in Profile
- Achievements below Avatar
- Several Beta 1 fixes

3.8.5 Beta 1, 28th August 2009
- Achievements!
- Promotions!
- Notification on Awards, Promotions and Achievements
- GAP: Empty pointfields will not be displayed anymore
- Activity: Showing percent values with a decimal
- Activities now also for users
- Awards below Avatar
- Default Awards are now also creating new category
- Shop: Fixed issue in not returning cash on sells
- Reworked Edit Shop Items

Todo for Beta 3:
- Download files with vBExperience as a credit system ("LDM Links and Downloads Manager", "DownloadsII")
- Activity eraser
- AdminCP Permissions
- Advanced User Permissions

[Phalynx]

vBExperience won already "Mod Of The Month"-Award in March 2008.

If you are experiencing problems with Achievements on a forum in a subdirectory like /forums/:
Please download the Beta 2 again, overwrite class_xperience.php and reimport product. Recount after then.

[Phalynx]

Good News: I will release a Refresh of the Beta 2 with the following changelog:

3.8.5 Beta 2.1
- Shop can now control items of "Links and Download Manager" and "DownloadsII". Simply put the LinkID of the item into the Shop Item Properties. User cannot download the item until he purchase it.
- Fixed issue with Notification on forums with subdirectory (e.g. /forums/)
- Fixed issue with Achievements on forums with subdirectory (e.g. /forums/)
- Fixed issue with Google Chrome and Tabs
- Improved uninstall

How to upgrade?
Simply overwrite all PHP files and import product XML.


Awaiting feedback :)

[Phalynx]

How to implement Shop Items that can be downloaded after purchased.
1. Install vBExperience, enable shop.
2. Install LDM Links And Download Manager or DownloadsII
3. Install either ZIP\extras\Addons\download_files_shop_ldm.xml or ZIP\extras\Addons\download_files_shop_downloadsII. xml. Depends of which downloadsystem you have installed.
4. Upload the download content. Memorize the LinkID!
5. AdminCP, Experience, Manage Shop, Add Category/Edit items
6. Depending of the downloadsystem you have to enter the numerical LinkID into the correct field

If the user purchased the item, he can download it. If he sells or give it away, he cannot access the file anymore.

Installed the Beta and found a bug. In the Your Notifications the url does not point to the forum URL. For example my notifcation is domain.net/member.php... when it should be domain/forum/member.php.... all other notifications are fine so it's just vbexperience.

[DarkArmada]

*sigh*

Ok here goes. So I've been working on intergrating vBexperience into my forum today. For starters, I couldn't even get the promotions system to work properly. I had to run like 50 recounts just to get every single user promoted to the correct usergroup (as every recount would end in an SQL error on a different user). Chances are that's the reason why this new issue is happening.

My forum (http://www.thegamevine.com/forum) is working fine, except now I can't access anyone's public profile. For example...

http://www.thegamevine.com/forum/member.php?u=2

It just doesn't load, generally meaning there's an error within that template that is stopping the page from loading. I love your product and really want it to work, it just doesn't...

If there's someone here who can help then please do, I'm dying here. This has been so far the most difficult vb mod I've ever had to install. Am I doing something wrong here? Also if I use ">" for the promotions instead of "=" - all I get is SQL errors. It shouldn't be this difficult...

Please someone save me :)

Edit: OK so through some troubleshooting, I've turned off "Use the activities?" setting and now the profile loads. I have no idea what this means...

[DarkArmada]

Yeah turning off that feature just cripples vbExperience, like it stops issuing points for activities. This is so retarded. I don't see why this is so hard... It would make sense if there was a built in ranking function that you could just assign rank images for vbexperience levels (from 1-100)

It would make this infinitely easier. Instead I'm grappling with a promotions system that doesn't work and a product that can't even be turned on without crashing a board... :(

I hope it's not something I've done, I'm just super frustrated.

Edit: Well it's still counting new actions, like I posted and the points were added to my total. Is it just that I've switched off the ability to monitor each activity as it happens within the profile?

I'd like to apologise if I've been at all angry / upsetting, I'm tired and my head is sore from hitting it on the desk. I love this mod, I just want it to work... Thanks Phalynx

[Phalynx]

Please keep in mind that vBExperience 3.8.5 is in Beta. It is unstable!

Download and downgrade to vBExperience 3.8.4

[DarkArmada]

Hmmm thanks Phalynx - I've uninstalled as I ideally need a promotions system based off of vbExperience. Maybe once the new version is stable I'll give it another try...

"Extras" are simply products that can be imported like any other hack. Options are defined in the default place for all vbulletin related options.

I've searched and looked through this thread (not all 172 pages!) and have not see the answers to a few questions I have before installing this mod.

1. Does this mod conflict with Yet Another Awards System?

2. When a member buys something from the store, where does it go? It says they are placed in the members profile, but I could not see that on the linked Demo site.

3. Would it be possible to have the store items purchased placed in to a new tab on the user profile page?

Thank you for any help on this.

I just saw in a search of this mod where someone asked the same question... I did not look at the answer and I can't find it again. I came up on a search for "level" I think and said some thing about members getting to 99% of a level. Hope this helps you.

[Mobo]

Is it possible to have a level 0 (zero)? I run an aerial combat related site and am theming this modification to fit in with my site. I want to change the phrase "Points" to "Kills" and "Levels" to "Ace". In aerial combat, you need 5 kills to become an Ace. So, I need level 1 to start at 5 points, or kills.

I've written my one Levels xml file to match the very scaled back points levels I'm using. This is the code I'm using for my levels 0 and 1.

$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (0,0,2)");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (5,1,2)");


I've tried it with and with out the line of code for level 0 (0,0,2) and both ways users with point values between 0 and 5 are all put in level 1.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

4.0 version coming soon?

What does it mean when the system says in xperience.php?go=activities

userWes returned the award Blog Award

That was me. How did I return the award? Or does it mean the award was lost by me automatically? Is this the system taking the award from me? Or, am I somehow actually returning it?

Thanks!

[BullpupRef]

Phalynx,


Thanks for the great Mod. Me and my users are liking it a lot.

My forum is located at www.oneseasonnation.com/forum


the problem is I created a custom award....and entered in the usernames of the people who I wanted the award to go to.

Every 10 minutes....the system says they return the award, then notifies them they have a new award, effectively spamming their PM box, and creating a mess on their activity page.

Is there a fix for this, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help!

Here is a screenshot of what is happening to ALL users. Thank you!

I've found a big issue with this add-on. We have a special infraction jail room where misbehaving people go for a while. It's controlled by an infraction group. Since installing this it no longer works. The user does not see the room. Has anybody else experienced issues with infraction groups since installing this addon?

I've since uninstalled it but the issue still persists. I'm suspecting a change to the SQL database is the culprit.

Sounds to me like somewhere along the way infraction group users got moved or promoted to another group that cannot see the room and permissions aren't inherited.

I would really like to see this Add-on made available to vBulletin 4.0

Does it look like there is any work being done to make this possible?

[slinky]

hi,
i now need to upgrade to vb4, vBExperience mod is ok by vb4?

Nobody needs to upgrade. It's a decision. It's why I need to stick with vb 3.8 for a while. It works well, it's reliable, I have amazing mods, and I have other things around it. This mod is great and I can't imagine the work to be done to move it. I appreciate all the work the developer put into making this such a wonderful add on for us and am gracious for whatever does or doesn't come further.

[helmica]

u can maibe write we are ready to upgrade to vb4 all mods we use are now compatible and we are ready to migrate. the only missing mailestone is vBExperience. is it working for others? i am doing something wrong or the mod is not compatible with VB4? do you plan to maintain it or I have to look for an other solution?

[vitrag24]

please update for vb 4.0.
waiting for it for a long.

[doubleclick]

I've searched here and can't find how to add the points a user has in their postbit. I've got the bars, but I'd like to display the actual points as well. ie. 4,000

What is the variable for points and where do you place it in the postbit?

Thanks

[TheInsaneManiac]

How do I set up achievements? I had an achievement for no infractions and I said Infractions = 0, but I nor anyone else gets the achievement.

[TheInsaneManiac]

How do I set up permissions as well, as currently some of my custom groups do not have a activity bar? No... They arent in ignored users or usergroups.

[Phalynx]

They have negative points. There are no permissions for the bars.

[optimatez]

I installed the mod and it is great, no problems so far. For some reason i used the level 2 system, and it works fine but i wanted to go down to level 1, even after i imported it and recalculated the activity and points and such on the admincp experience tab it remains the same. not a big deal though. My biggest question is:

We currently have the rank system put in place from vbulletin that ranks them up via post count. I like experience ranking system much better, but i want to use icons ( the military ones) to display their rank, not a bar. How is this done? Thanks!

edit: i am using the beta, if that matters. and i searched the this thread as best i could and couldn't find a solution, sorry if this has been done before and im being annoying.

[TheInsaneManiac]

So if they are negative then they wont have a bar? How do they become positive?

You'll need to replace the green and orange images

[optimatez]

thanks for the reply. i am unsure how to do this though, there are 100 levels in vbexperience, and only 20 or so of my military ranks. I also looked up the bars, and i dont understand how they work, they are very very short when i open them?Thanks for the update. :)

[TheATHEiST]

Anybody know how to automatically give a member a award when added to a usergroup and how to take it away when leaving a usergroup?

Example:
I want to create a "Donator" award so that when somebody donates via the Paid Subscriptions function after they get added to the VIP usergroup they get a donator icon next to their name or in achievement's and tehn once their subscription expires they lose the award.

[BloodRavens]

I've installed it. But user's level isn't visible. Only user score and activity that visible. Please anyone to help me.

sorry guys.. i'found it.. i disable the level up bar. :D

Is it possible to manage, how many points the users get for posting in definite categorys?

And another question: Can I use only the points-system, none other? So, how to disable the things?

Damn, I thought, I've done it.. :o
Thank you Phalynx for answer!! Your addon is just amazing! :)

What about my first question? ;)

[Phalynx]

Please define "categorys" :)

[jakobility]

Okay (it would be easier to write in german, but maybe other users have this question as well).

So, I mean different forum areas, for example at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum.php: vBulletin Announcements, vBulletin Sales and Feedback, vBulletin 4 and so on...

Or also sub-categories like vBulletin Announcements, vBulletin Developer Chat Forum...

Whatever...

Important is for me, that I can differentiate the given points in defined forum areas... :)

[Phalynx]

For this you need to install the plugin Advanced Forum Points:
It's located in ZIP\extras\Addons\advanced_forum_points.xml

[jakobility]

Thank you so much!!
You are the best Phalynx.. :):D

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=199556

After you remove the condition for vBExperience 4, you should be able to install all plugins.

[nAsH]

can I use vBExperience 3.8 for vB 3.7?

what condition should I remove then?

[Phalynx]

Yes, vBExperience can be installed on vBulletin 3.7 - otherwise I would not suggest it.

Remove the condition which checks for vBExperience 4

[nAsH]

It is enough if I v3.8.4.2 take? or must I take the beta

they mean this condition?
<dependency dependencytype="product" parentproductid="xperience40" minversion="4.0.0" maxversion="" />

[Phalynx]

Take 3.8.5 if you want achievements/errungenschaften.

Yes, this condition.

Unfortunately I get on the import of vBSoccer.xml and vBSoccer_Bets.xml following error

[Spinball]

Just installed this on a forum with over 300,000 members.
We are using it to give a better indication of experience than post count or days registered.
However our forums are quite discreet. So for example, someone who is an expert in subwoofers might not know anything about Plasma TVs.
Is there a way to record experience in each forum and show that when viewing the postbit information in each forum?
So when viewing the experience points in the postbit in the Plasma TVs forum, we see only the experience points accrued in relation to that forum?

No, vBExperience is just for vBulletin 4.

As for the error you are getting, seems strange that it is resetting your points. This should not happen.

[Spinball]

No, vBExperience is just for vBulletin 4. Sure, I understand it's not worth investing too much time in vBulletin mods any more.
It would be excellent if this were available in the 3.8 version though.

As for the error you are getting, seems strange that it is resetting your points. This should not happen.
Could it be because I ran the counter first, then removed some forums from the points (about 25) and now am re-running it?

Edit : Just noticed that there is an advanced_forum_points.xml addon in 3.8. Can you point me to the documentation for this, please?

[Phalynx]

Sorry, I had misunderstood your request. I thought you want to give independent points for every forum. Instead, you want to have independent points per user per forum. That is not supported atm.

[Spinball]

Well separate experience points for each user in each forum to give a more accurate indication of their experience in that forum.

Hi guys,

Would someone be nice enough to explain exactly how the Activity % is calculated?
My problem is that suddenly all my users have seen a significant drop in Activity % but it doesn't make sense. Now most of them including myself barely reach 12-15% vs. over 70% before this sudden change.

I noticed weird things when we switched to a new server but like that.

Some of my top users have this new weird habit of giving up all their points to other members for whatever reason, could this be related?

I'd appreciate any help. I have this mod installed for many years on VB 3.8 with php 5.2.17 and MySQL 5.1.66 but I never had any issues before.

Thanks.

All the demo links dont work anymore. Can you please post update demo links so I can see what the plugin looks like.

I am also interested in how deep I can go when creating awards. I stumbled over another expirience plugin which has a light and pro version, but I cant get really deep into building special awards (f.e. has created X postings inside forum Y).
