vBExperience 3.8

[cooltechie]

Since the style author doesn't seem to be providing support, I was wondering how I can compare and where I should look to determine why experience menu is not showing up when I 'Enable link in navbar' and 'Enable link in quicklinks'.

[bada_bing]

Support seems a bit slow for this hack???

[SEW810]

Nope, Phalynx aswers pretty fast, of course he has to sleep a lil bit, he is human :)
Thnx Phalynx for your great support and mod.

Since the style author doesn't seem to be providing support, I was wondering how I can compare and where I should look to determine why experience menu is not showing up when I 'Enable link in navbar' and 'Enable link in quicklinks'.

This mod uses template hooks like most other mods.

You need to search for the following lines of code and compare their places in the Navbar Template in the Vbulletin default style to your installed custom Style Navbar Template and make sure that they are in their.

$template_hook[navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1]

$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]

$template_hook[navbar_community_menu_end]

[Phalynx]

HOw come everytime I try and update the users points and activities I get CGI Errors

FastCGI Error
The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.

Error Details:

* The FastCGI process exceeded configured request timeout
* Error Number: 258 (0x80070102).
* Error Description: The wait operation timed out.

HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
Decrease the number of users that are calculated at once from 250 to f.e. 100

I don't got it!.

Every time I do a Recount, User's activity always go down and down and down :(
Even if I reinstall another or actual level

Activity setts are by default
Activity has absolutly nothing to do with the level. What do you mean with "always"? Every day? Maybe because the new mechanism "Include User's last activity date" is enabled? Try to disable it and to a recount on Activity (not Points!)

phalynx found the problem!

AWCoding- Donation System LITE for vBExperience

That mod causes the recount database error.

Now i hope everything wil run without problems :)

[gamerfu]

is there a way to "buy" user priviledges?

say like, username coloring, customiz usertitle, or buy customize signature priviledge in shop?

basically, buy user priviledges or features that are normal not avaliable to them from their Usergroup.

Edit [Add]: Oh BTW! Does vBExp still support Bills PayPal Donate Basic?
I do not see it on the 3rd party add-on support anymore.

No, this will come with a major update of the shop.

[RaZoRShawN]

OK

First of all BIG THX for this great mod Mariusz!

Idea, plugin system and mostly your support is appreciated.

I wold like to sorry if I am making doubled issue.

I went through 40 pages of history of this post and found only questions about my problem.
The answer : read the readme files is not enough for me thou...

Problem (understanding how it works)

Promotion system if enable YES, how does it work?
How to make it possible to users changing ranks (pictures) with experience level ?
I have tried to:
-import modified vbexperience_level_2_average.xml changing usergroupid to custom group ids that I have created;
-add a rank image in user ranks for custom groups)

Am I going good direction? (as far as understanding the hack is concern)

problem is that I have members lets say on experience level 2... and I am refreshing and rebuilding everything that might lead to the users being promoted to the custom groups with no success...

Please help me out.
I will make ready to go manual to be implemented to Your readme for future generation people with the brain like me :)...

Please help me out.
First of all, disable the vBulletin Promotions. Make also sure you'r Administrator Usergroup is on the excluded list, otherwise you will lose it.
2. Edit the level xml file. Take a look at that part:
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (56,1,2)");
The bold 2 is the usergroupid of the group the user will be switched to whenever he has at least 56 Experience points.

Another example:
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (600,6,3)");
The user will be switched to usergroup #3 when he has at least 600 Experience points.

The usergroupid 2 must be entered for every point/level statement up to the next level:
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (56,1,2)");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (100,2,2)");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (200,3,2)");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (300,4,2)");
....
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (600,6,3)");

3. Import that level file
4. Recount



I will make ready to go manual to be implemented to Your readme for future generation people with the brain like me :)...
Yes, I need a native english speaker who takes a look at the readme's and re-writes it so it is more understandable :)

Ive tried this even 50 and still does the same thing, seems that when I run this my site stops responding for several minutes also

[Eryeal]

Is the experience point level stored in the user table? If so - what is the name it is stored as? I want to see if this is compatible with the new Gameroom mod. Thanks!

[SEW810]

Eryeal I'm not for sure but, I think Experience doesn't include add on for Gameroom mod.
I just can see v3 and ibpro add ons.
Regards :)

Well, I mean:

If I did some adjustments at Xperience CP and after that I do a Recount, activity % always goes smaller
Example:

Some user has 46% Activity bar.
I do a recount.
When recounf finishes, now that user has 12% Activity bar.

Anyway, I'll try your advice.
Danke Sie ;)

Right there's no add-on, but the new Game Room includes the feature to specify where to draw currency from in the User Table. I actually just now found it for here - the user table name is xPerience. It is actually working at the moment - pulling the correct number of points as "cash" and saving any winnings or losses. I just don't know if after a cron run or recalculation I'm assuming the points won in the Game Room would be erased. I already made a suggestion for Game Room to have an add-on that fully supports VBExperience - that would be really nice.

[Eryeal]

Suggestion -

Have a PM option for when a user wins an award. Maybe even have a PM option for when a user loses an award as well.

Sorry that it's not working for you like the rest of us - Phalanx is helping to solve your problems as well as others as you can see - he responds every single day. Your last message was one hour ago, and then you come on and say removed due to lack of support? You think people that program these mods don't have day jobs and just sit and wait for a message to come through?

Sorry for going off... I just feel that was an unnecessary post.

I created a bunch of new awards finally and I only see the 3 "default" awards in the system from 3.8.3

Anyone know how to get new awards to show up?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I am an idiot. Put display to 0... :( sign...

Hello,

I upload all the files to my server, but when I go to install the XML it says:
You need to upload files first!

Could anyone help me out please.

Thank you.

EDIT: Sorry, FireFTP was playing up and wasn't actually uploading the files in the correct places. Sorry to bother you all and thanks for this great add-on.

[Gun Geek]

Great plug in here. I am still learning how to use it.

One of my users activity is at 99.9% mine is at 100% and everyone else is at 0 - what is the activity based on exactly because the user with 99.9% activity is only a level one with two posts and 71 points.

Also what are the awards based off of? What determines what award to give to who? I have been playing with this for the past few days and dont see where this is or if you can set it.

Also one suggestion - upload image button for the shop would be great. Having to go FTP and then put in the URL is kind of a long process to add a product to the shop.

[stardotstar]

Hi, I'm uncertain if this is fixed earlier in the pages, but please point me there if so,,,

I have only a few of the options showing as configuration panels when clicked on in the side bar of the acp.
ie the settings labeled:
Settings:
do not display - I get a blank right side main panel
but the others work fine....
I recall something like this with another mod but I cannot remember if it got fixed or what caused it...
Ring any bells?

BTW thank you for such a huge update - massive and most awesome mod!

[SEW810]

Pretty nice, now everybody on my forum is 100% activity.
Oh my $&%$/$&%&)(/ God!!!

Experience Activity setts are:
Include User's posts YES
Include User's Blog entries and Blog comments NO
Include User's Visitor messages YES
Include User's Social Group messages YES
Include User's last activity date YES
Stupid PPD value is by default: 21
Other stupid PPD value is calculated daily by blah blah blah. ( I HAVE NOT CHANGED IT)

What the hell is wrong? :'(
I am tired, angry, sad... almost losing my mind

Jesus, I have uninstalled and re installed Exp 3.8.4 a lot of times and no good news :(
Experience 3.8.3 used to work fine... well, even 3.8.3 gives me terrible headaches now ... i don?t know what to do man, I REALLY don't want to uninstall it but oh God!, this mod is begging me to do it!!!

Recounts??, Man!!, If someone would give me a dollar for every recount I've done... I'd be millionaire

my forum www.seusers.com

Regards and sorry about my behavior.....I'm desperate
HELLp !!!!!!!!

[SEW810]

I almost forget.
Maybe this is an issue.

If I sett only take user's post to activity like this:

Include User's posts YES
Include User's Blog entries and Blog comments NO
Include User's Visitor messages NO
Include User's Social Group messages NO
Include User's last activity date NO
Stupid PPD value is by default: 21
Other stupid PPD value is calculated daily by blah blah blah. ( I HAVE NOT CHANGED IT)

After that I do an activity recount. It showes:

Update Activity PPD (Post per Day)
Processing Average PPD: 0 zero?? WTF ??
1
2
3
4
5
6

blah blah blah
My board:

Level 7 installed.
Post thanx add on installed.
v3 arcade champions add on installed.
radioactivity add on installed.
More than 75,000 users.
Active users ~ 13,588

************* EDITED ****************
Me again, for one moment my activity was correct (20% I've been inactive these days)
Any way, If me or some other user post 1 message,the activity goes to 100%.

I think I'll be 20% again,maybe within a couple of hours, I guess.

Still got same setts:
Include User's posts YES
Include User's Blog entries and Blog comments NO
Include User's Visitor messages YES
Include User's Social Group messages YES
Include User's last activity date YES
Stupid PPD value is by default: 21

Gameroom must store the points in the xperience_custompoints table, otherwise it get's overwritten by the cron.

That is not a bug. You have not selected any field that the award should calcule with. Even if you assign an award manually, you need to select at least one field.

One of my users activity is at 99.9% mine is at 100% and everyone else is at 0 - what is the activity based on exactly because the user with 99.9% activity is only a level one with two posts and 71 points.
Run the activity cron and after that the recalculate activity.

Also what are the awards based off of? What determines what award to give to who? I have been playing with this for the past few days and dont see where this is or if you can set it.
It's based on the fields you select for every awards. All fields are summed together. User with highest value is getting the award. If you have enabled the new awardlisting, you can see the fields that were used for the calculation. Also, if you have the option enabled to limit the awards to max 1 for a user, the user is not getting it. The second, third, etc... user is getting it then.

Also one suggestion - upload image button for the shop would be great. Having to go FTP and then put in the URL is kind of a long process to add a product to the shop.

I have a weird problem since I few days.

I have a selfmade usergroup since the beginning who have access to all the private forums.

A few days ago I did the gold update of vBExperience, and I also turned on the standard VB User Reputation system. Now my users from that private group always get demoted to registered users when they change there signature or add something in their profile fields.

On the promotions page of vBExperience, on the activities it says:
... demoted to Registered Users

I change them back to the private group but when they change something they get auto demoted again..

What is happening?
Thanks..

You have turned on the vBExperience Promotion System. The Users are promoted/demoted to other usergroups based on the levels defined in the level XML. Turn off vBExperience Promotionsystem or type the private usergroup as an exception into the settings.

[RK1gaming]

Updated - another great product and just keeps getting better

[smirkley]

Just reinstalled this after some time ago,.. much better. Thanks.

A suggestion,... on the points giveaway page.

The points giveaway would be better if it didnt list all point earning catagories possible. I think it should show only points that arent zero.

Primarily because I dont use alot of the mods that vBexperience is setup to give points for, so my members will never earn points in those categories.

But yes, a gread mod!

Thank you, I think this will work.

This (The vBExperience Promotion system) will replace the internal vB promotions, it says somewhere in the settings.

But the internal VB Promotions, is this the User reputation manager?

So if I use the vBExperience Promotion System, I have to disable the original internal vB promotions/User reputation? Because this may interfere together? Am I correct or wrong?

Cuz those two names of promotion systems, the one you made & the original kinda confuses me, with those names.. :)

The internal promotionsystem of vBulletin can be reached via AdminCP, Usergroups, Promotions. Reputation has nothing to do with promotion.

[Matt Lathrop]

Would it be possible to give points based on time spent in chat (flashchat), without having to manually assign custom points to active chat users? Also does days online count every day or only the ones they logged in on?

[Phalynx]

Does Flashchat store the online time in a database?

Days online is just counting the days since registered, because vBulletin does not store the information about when a user is online.

[Matt Lathrop]

Not time online but it has sent messages and connections (like logins). Which would both work fine.

I just looked and it does not store either of the values forever... it deletes them after a day or so. Also to open chat you have to click on a forum link, so I guess if you could count "viewing" that forum more then other forums that would work.

[Phalynx]

No, forum redirects statistics are not stored into the database.

[Matt Lathrop]

Ok after further investigation, both messages and connections are stored but messages also include a lot of hidden messages and things like that, connections are pretty clean and only kept while the user is online. So would it be possible to award x points for every time your user id comes up in the connection log (in the mysql database)? Also in this table it stores the time that the connection was made and the time it was last updated (every time you send a message or interact with chat). SO I guess in a way it does store online time...

[Phalynx]

If the table is readable via vBulletin, it should be no problem to read this. You can use the CDP to get the data and store it as a point provider.

[Matt Lathrop]

Not to sound totally noobish, but CDP?

[Phalynx]

Custom Data Provider, the plugin interface of vBExperience. All plugins are written using this. Take a look at the samples ZIP\extras\Addons and also into the documentation ZIP\extras\Custom Data Provider\readme_custom_data_provider.txt

[SEW810]

Ok Phalynx, you have an MP

Thats your account ;)

Thnx

[Matt Lathrop]

Thanks. I will take a look.

[Matt Lathrop]

Well if I wasn't so brain dead on coding ect. then your instructions would have been very clear... I guess my question would me what all do I ahve to change? flashchat stores the info in a table called flashchat_connections.

[Phalynx]

Currently I don't have the time to code this, sorry.

[veenuisthebest]

Awesome work Phalynx! This is undoubtedly ONE MOST superbly built, documented and supported mod. Updated to 3.8.4 and it works great.

I have a few suggestions please.

1. In xperience.php?go=gap, I have 12 fields showing as 0 as I am not using those mods. Rather than just disabling the text box, why not DON'T SHOW that field at all. It will reduce the clutter on the page. In other words, those 12 rows should not display when You Have = 0.

2. When viewing OTHER PERSON's profile, the Give Away Points should link to xperience.php?go=gap&username=bobby , just like we have from postbit.

Thanks

Phalynx, could you please add the link (solution) to the non-displaying xperience_admin.php in your modification description, please?

[Trek]

This is working good, but one thing I'd like to see is on the awards a minimum requirements field.

For instance, the "Frequent Poster" award is going to people that just sign up and make a single post. This is normal on my forums as it's a gaming guild and people sign up and then submit their application. So their days as a member and post count are considered high.

I'd like it make it so members are only counted if they have been members for 2 weeks or more. Basically, making this a variable.

I'm not sure if this bug has been reported, but I've been getting messages from my members saying they can give away more XP than they have if they click the "Give Away" button twice before the page finishes loading. Is this something you're aware of? Anyway, it put one of my members 200xp negative, which shouldn't happen.

[Phalynx]

I don't know why xperience_admin.php showes blank page :'(
Even form me, I can't see anything :'(

Well, thanx Phalynx,I'll check it later. Thanx a lot for your time, please if I got some troubles please please could you help me again?.
Thnx
As long as you don't fix it I cannot help you. I didn't have had any access to that part.

This is working good, but one thing I'd like to see is on the awards a minimum requirements field.

For instance, the "Frequent Poster" award is going to people that just sign up and make a single post. This is normal on my forums as it's a gaming guild and people sign up and then submit their application. So their days as a member and post count are considered high.

I'd like it make it so members are only counted if they have been members for 2 weeks or more. Basically, making this a variable.
Ehm, this is already part of the finale 3.8.4 - that award goes only to people who are at least 7 days online. Please upgrade to the final GOLD version.

This is very strange, will take a deeper look.

$attq = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT
SUM(counter) as sum_att_views
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "flashchat_connections
WHERE userid=".$user['userid']);

if ($vbulletin->db->num_rows($attq) > 0)
{
$att = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($attq);

$xperience['count_misc_cdp'] = $att['sum_att_views'] * $vbulletin->options['xperience_points_cdp'];
$xperience['count_misc'] += $xperience['count_misc_cdp'];
$additionalsql .= "points_misc_cdp=".$xperience['count_misc_cdp'].","

Is this the main bulk of code to edit?

I recall something like this with another mod but I cannot remember if it got fixed or what caused it...
Ring any bells?

BTW thank you for such a huge update - massive and most awesome mod!

That is a known issue, but not with vBExperience, it's PHP:
- Settings are showing only a blank page, read here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...6979#note74140

I knew it was something related - thank you for setting me off in the right direction - it was the photoplog I last saw this with.

Great mod, great support, thank you very much.

Thanks for responding to my last comment. It seems I'm having one more problem - when calculating average PPD, it calculates it as 0PPD. For some reason, it's unable to read the database that stores the post information - e.g. it's calculating most members with 0% activity. Before I upgraded to this version, I didn't have this problem. I'm using vBulletin 3.7x if that makes a difference.

[mikeo9043]

I installed the latest version on my site, but the when I go to the xperience page, it doesn't show what % each member is at like so:

Ehm, this is already part of the finale 3.8.4 - that award goes only to people who are at least 7 days online. Please upgrade to the final GOLD version.

I'm already running 3.8.4... I'll overwrite the files, but... I dunno.

Just overwrote the files and reran the award recount, same thing. Hope this information helps.

Sorry dude, I just talked to mauro1947 (web master) about your temporary account, I forget to talk to billnick, the guy that was on line with you and me. He changed your permissions. Really sorry, I feel ashamed :o , he didn't know anything about these movements.

Your mod works just perfect!!! THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU

Thanks for helping in this. I will release this as a bugfix to 3.8.4

[Phalynx]

This bugfix resolves problems with the activity. There was a bug in reading out average postcount.

Please overwrite the file class_xperience.php

3.8.4.1, 14th August 2009
- Fixed issues with low/high activity
- Improved speed by recounting activity
- Included french translation by mitch84 - thanks!

[veenuisthebest]

Another bug:-

One is able to Give away points to himself.

I had 3605 points, I gave 20 points to myself and it increased. One should not be able to give points to himself, the system can be clearly abused this way.

Also, it would be nice to not to show Give Away Points in postbit dropdown FROM OUR OWN USERNAME.

[Phalynx]

Fixed in next version.

Just a Note:
I'm the next few days on vacation and therefore cannot provide any support. I will return on Monday, 17th August.

[Matt Lathrop]

Hey I have a question about the CDP. This is what I have so far on my chat mod... currently I have it working so that when I recount the code it changes points_misc_cdp to 1 if they are in the chat room at the time of the recount. The problem is it won't do it constantly... it only updates when I hit recount and when I do that it dose not add on to the current # (which I guess is what recount is supposed to do) Do you have any suggestion on how to solve the issue?

I have this board set to not to count posts towards the user's final post count. :confused:

[Joshkrz]

Just a question...

Is there anyway to make it so that some shop items can be like so...

Reputation Upgrade
+1 REP Power
2000 XP

The Rep Upgrade gives your account an extra Rep power to inflict more damage (or reward) on other users.

And things like custom title item or exclusive display pictures and stuff like that. If so that would be great!

Also could you add "Achivment" type awards, where more than one user can have an award, for lets say... 100 posts or Active for 1 year ect?

Sorry if I'm asking too much but it would be really great, and thanks for the update, I was about to ask about the activity problem.

[ConfusedCartman]

One more quick thing: Activity doesn't seem to behave as expected. A member half my Average Posts Per Day has twice the Activity percentage as I do, and I have toggled off everything except posts and last activity date (he's active daily, like I am). It's not just this one isolated case either - it seems to be very inconsistent across the board. Isn't there a way to just average out the top X number of members' Average Posts Per Day, then just compare each member's average Posts Per Day to that number and draw a percentage from it? If that's what's supposed to be happening, then I don't think it's working. It's not urgent, but if you could make improvements in future releases, that would be great.

[Itchy Nips]

i just realized that the awards images are not appearing for users that have the "user name images" modification.

Add this to your CONFIG.PHP define("DISABLE_HOOKS", true);
That should get you back into your ADMINCP.
From there disable anything related to xperience. Then remove the line to reactivate your plug-ins.

You probably un-installed the mod incorrectly or incompletely. A Reinstall may be necessary. Also make sure you have un-installed ALL related mods as well.

Hope this helps.

[milsirhc]

Thanks Harley!

I've manually add a new column xperience_done in my user DB and that allows me to login.

I re-install the mod and uninstall it by first using the kill_xperience.php and then remove the product but the error came back again...

I guess I just leave xperience_done column in there for now...

[cykelmyggen]

Sometimes users are asking why they have been losing certain amounts of Expirience-points, which they notice at the Activities page. When I take a look at the Point-settings in the ACP, the only thing set for subtracting points is the Infration parameter. The users losing points hasn't been given any infractions. Could anybody please explain this. My only guess so far, is that is has to do with the amount of time they spend online?

[Dutch_Boy]

Is there someone who using the promotion system? If tried to get it running but no one gets a promotin to a new group :(

Tried this but i didnt work:


First of all, disable the vBulletin Promotions. Make also sure you'r Administrator Usergroup is on the excluded list, otherwise you will lose it.
2. Edit the level xml file. Take a look at that part:
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (56,1,2)");
The bold 2 is the usergroupid of the group the user will be switched to whenever he has at least 56 Experience points.

Another example:
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (600,6,3)");
The user will be switched to usergroup #3 when he has at least 600 Experience points.

The usergroupid 2 must be entered for every point/level statement up to the next level:
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (56,1,2)");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (100,2,2)");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (200,3,2)");
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (300,4,2)");
....
$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (600,6,3)");

3. Import that level file
4. Recount

[Kayden]

Using Check Version in the admin CP, it still says I'm using 3.8.4, when I just imported the latest product.

The Experience Points are only recalculated if the user is logging into vBulletin or ist doing a post. It's not triggered by a chat application...


I updated that file, but no % still shows up on the xperience page.
Please upload the functions_xperience.php and re-import the product xml. It seems you imported the product with the old functions_xperience.php and therefore it did not update the tables.

I noticed vBExperience 3.8.4 counts posts in my "SPAM Games" board towards the user's experience. :(

I have this board set to not to count posts towards the user's final post count. :confused:
You will have to enter the board into the exclusion list of vBExperience

Yes, Achievements are already in work as they will come with 3.8.5

A member half my Average Posts Per Day has twice the Activity percentage as I do, and I have toggled off everything except posts and last activity date (he's active daily, like I am).

Activity does NOT take the average posts per day, as this is not a value that says if a user is very active. It depends just how long and how many posts the user has written in the past, but not in the last days.

You should check how long the timeframe for the activity is, increase or decrease it and test the result via recount activity.

[Phalynx]

i just realized that the awards images are not appearing for users that have the "user name images" modification.
I even don't know that modification, but I assume it is using the same hooks.

Add this to your CONFIG.PHP That should get you back into your ADMINCP.
Thanks for this help to the user.

Thanks Harley!

That was the problem. In the readme for uninstall is written that you have to uninstall it first by removing the product.

Could anybody please explain this. My only guess so far, is that is has to do with the amount of time they spend online?
Losing points can be caused by deleted posts/threads/discussions, removed buddies/friends, threads that are not pinned anymore, etc...
Also if you have RadioActivity installed, it is removing points...


Is there someone who using the promotion system? If tried to get it running but no one gets a promotin to a new group :(

Tried this but i didnt work:

Yes, I know some boards who are using this actively. Also, the Inside SupCom Demoboard is using it.

[Phalynx]

Using Check Version in the admin CP, it still says I'm using 3.8.4, when I just imported the latest product.

Is that right?
Yes, as the version of the XML did not change.

Here Also... 3.8.4. not 3.8.4.1. :confused:
Overwrite the xperience.php if you want the version number, but it is not needed as the fix for 3.8.4.1 is in the class_xperience.php

[RaZoRShawN]

Yes, I know some boards who are using this actively. Also, the Inside SupCom Demoboard is using it.

Yes. And It is working on TripDealers.org too :)

It is hard to understand at the beginning how to make it work ... but readme.thx modifications will be done soone to help all out.

:)

Another thing concerning the readme.txt

SUGGESTION 1
Add the links to mods/hack that are being supported by vBeXperience.

It will give a chance to expand the vBeXperience hack to its maximum potential faster and it would avoid the confusions during the expanding process.

Example: Readme.txt


Additionally there is support for 3rd party addons (some are already installed):
.
.
.
.
.
.
- ibProArcade Highscorer Points (via CDP Addon)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101554&highlight=arcade
.
.
.
.
- Post Thank You / Use of Post Thank You (via CDP Addon)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=165673&highlight=Post+Thank+You

Q: is the last one I gave is correct one, meaning this one is being supported by vBeXperience ? <<- this is what I ment by being confused in expanding process :).

SUGGESTION 2
Name of the hack small/big letters, my vote is:

vBeXperience

There is different naming being used in different files/forums etc.
There should be one name, since this might be one of the best hack ever...
Think about it :)

And THX again for great HACK!
Support is also unbelievable !!!

[Phalynx]

Some users are naming that product like they want. It has been called earlier "xPerience", but I named it with a more vBulletin touch "vBExperience".

[Dutch_Boy]

In the readme file there is a line saying that i have to turn off the vbulletin promotion mod. Where can i turn it off? I cant find it.

Dont know if thats the problem why my promotion stuff didnt work.

[Phalynx]

No, it says:
This will replace the internal vB promotions. If you enable this system, make sure that you delete any promotions that could collide with Experience. Also, take care that the promotions are overwritten the primary group of every user.

[RaZoRShawN]

Sounds nice, but this would mean to keep all links updated, also during updates. Too much work for me.

Nah... all the hacks has one supporting site (main one)... once You give direction for the link everybody will be able to track the supported hack by them-self, no need to update.
The problem is that some of the hacks are difficult to target, once targeted there will be no problem.

There is lots of people who can support You in doing things. (updating readme.txt etc.)

-----------------------------

If You really think that links might be a problem, my idea is that we can add coder name at least
ex.:
- ibProArcade Highscorer Points (via CDP Addon) Origin Hack by MrZeropage --- will be enough to target the proper hack.


Some users are naming that product like they want. It has been called earlier "xPerience", but I named it with a more vBulletin touch "vBExperience".

I have suggestion for You nick also

Ph4LynX

since You R c0d3R and h4ckZ0R (joke)
:p

No, it says:
This will replace the internal vB promotions. If you enable this system, make sure that you delete any promotions that could collide with Experience. Also, take care that the promotions are overwritten the primary group of every user.

Meaning:

-Create new User Groups
-Add new ranks to the proper groups (original vb promotions are based on post count, so add new ranks with Minimum Posts 0 --- will not create problems with the vBeXperience promotion system.
-update(edit) ex.: vbexperience_level_2_average.xml with the proper usergroupid values (from the new groups that you have created)

$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (50,1,9)");
-import new(updated by You) vbexperience_level_2_average.xml

DONE

Enabling internal promotion system of vBeXperience will promote users to usergroups based on eXperience level (values) from now.

Because its containing just images, wouldn't it had been better to put it like images/xperience/ ?

Hmm..I did everything you said still doesn't seem to be showing up the % on the xperience page but it's fine, no biggie, it still shows it on the post bit, so that is fine. I'll wait till the next update. Thanks tho!

I updated to 3.8.4.1 from 3.7.17.
but when I enable "Use the activities" in Settings, in members profile pages, I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function GetActivityAll() in /home/XXX/public_html/forum/member.php(463) : eval()'d code on line 206

I uploded files completely.
plz help me, tnx.

Ouch !, same here.
Any way, I don't use activities.

[Dutch_Boy]

Meaning:

-Create new User Groups
-Add new ranks to the proper groups (original vb promotions are based on post count, so add new ranks with Minimum Posts 0 --- will not create problems with the vBeXperience promotion system.
-update(edit) ex.: vbexperience_level_2_average.xml with the proper usergroupid values (from the new groups that you have created)

$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (50,1,9)");
-import new(updated by You) vbexperience_level_2_average.xml

DONE

Enabling internal promotion system of vBeXperience will promote users to usergroups based on eXperience level (values) from now.

See Also
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1865702&postcount=1013

for details of editing and rules of doing such.

I did this but no one gets a promotion.

Usergroup: WannaBe Member* (test usergroup. Same rights as registerd member)
Usergroup id: 62
Use the promotion system? Yes
Promotions: check picture.

$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "xperience_level (xperience_points, xperience_level, usergroupid) VALUES (50,1,62)");

[SEW810]

Yes, naming the coder would be good.
Maybe, but why nobody is helping me then? I asked already multiple times for such a help, since the first version of vBExperience in 2006. Nobody (zero, null) said he would help me. So I doubt it also this time.

I never saw those posts dude.

[ConfusedCartman]

Thanks for the earlier clarification Phalynx. :)

I have a small feature request, if possible: what do you think of a "discard" option for items, both purchased and received as a gift? That way, people can get rid of the things they buy even if the "Sell item back to shop" option is disabled. This would also provide a way for users to discard items that were gifted to them. Currently, they are stuck with the items they've been given, which can be a nuisance.

On a slightly related note, what do you think about allowing us to enable the "Sell item back to shop" option per shop item? Maybe have a checkbox next to each item listing in the "Edit Items" view which would enable or disable the "Sell item back to shop" option per each item. Along with this should be a checkbox at the very top of the column which would enable or disable all items in a category, making it easy to switch on and off entire categories.

- Fixed GetActivityAll() on Profiles

3.8.4.1, 14th August 2009

- Included french translation by mitch84 - thanks!

[yeshoward]

thanks for fix of 3.8.4.2, do we need to upload ALL files or some files only? if so, which are them? thanks

[Phalynx]

If you upgraded from 3.8.4.1, you need only to re-import the product xml. Upgrade from 3.8.4 needs also the class_xperience.php
If you want to show the version number, upload also xperience.php

yeshoward, you will need to click "Mark as Installed", thanks.

Cannot confirm that. Did you re-generated awards after your set this?

[Nadeemjp]

hey phalynx
soon there wuld be vb4.0 out.
are you currently in the process of upgrading this to be compatible with vb4.0?
cause i intend to install it the moment its GOLD is out and i love this hack and would definitely want it with me

[Phalynx]

Please define "soon". If you mean with soon "in around 6 months", yes.

vB4 is currently available to _few_ testers as an alpha version. As soon as it is available as a public beta I will take a look.

[Nadeemjp]

oh boy, 6 months is too long:)
but i guess this is not the only mod or work you are doing so i guess we will hae to wait and see.
but please make it available as soon as possible, cause unless you upgrade this modification, i wont be able to install vb4.

[Phalynx]

I cannot upgrade vBExperience if there is no public version of vB4. Also, I don't know the exact timeline of vB4 as there is no timeline/roadmap.
With the six month I mean vBulletin 4, not vBExperience. But it can be also 9 months or just 4 months. Nobody knows.

[exportforce]

Phalynx,

can you please add an achievement function ?
That would be so awesome, I think that it shouldn't be that hard, or am I wrong ?
I mean stuff like: Posts, Donations, Days/years registered, threads started, rep given, rep gotten, thanks (from thank-you-addons) and stuff should be easy to use for that.

Hope it'll be doable :)

[Phalynx]

Achievements are almost finished and will be part of 3.8.5
It has been wished already multiple times...

You can use any field for this, similar to the awards. Combination of fields also possible.

[Nadeemjp]

hey phalynx, i have a certain problem i dont know what is causing it.

i consulted the vbulletin.com staff but they say this is because of an activity add-on.


a few weeks ago i introduced system of promotions. depending upon the number of posts, users are moved up to a superior user group.

the problem is that all those users who are inactive are moved into "COPA user awaiting moderation" group. i tried many times to move them back but everytime they are moved back again to this group.

furthermore, when i check the usergroup segment in the admincp, it shows no members in the above mentioned user group, but when i check individual users, the inactives are shown in that group.

then i have a usergroup who can access a cerain forum on my board. some of the members of this group (unless i give them custom permission) cannot see or access this forum.

I was wondering what could be the reason.

can you help me in this problem?

[SEW810]

I don't know how your experience promotions are configured but try this:

Admin CP->Experience->General Settings:

Go to: Ignore Usergroups on promotions?
and sett COPA ID over there.

However,check on your promotions dude
Regards.

[Phalynx]

Yes, check your promotions in the level xml. It's seems it has a wrong usergroup id in it.

[gamerfu]

Speaking of promotions, would it be possible to have a promotions admincp page instead of editing a xml file? :erm:

[Phalynx]

Yes, in 3.8.5 - this has been wished since months.

[Nadeemjp]

I don't know how your experience promotions are configured but try this:

Admin CP->Experience->General Settings:

and sett COPA ID over there.

Yes, check your promotions in the level xml. It's seems it has a wrong usergroup id in it.

guys thanx for the advice.
i created the promotions exactly as it was adviced in the vbulletin manual:confused:
so it seems pretty much in accordance with the manual
i have not enabled experience promotions.
when u say level xml, what does that mean?:confused:

[Nadeemjp]

these are the promotions that i have set, is there anything wrong with them?:confused:
http://www.familybunker.com/1.png

[Phalynx]

If you don't enabled xperience promotions than this part is not doing anything. Maybe your vBulletin promotions are not correct.

Would it be possible to setup a "Mystery Gift"?

If you buy this item, it is a mystery of what items you (shop owner) have set up for the mystery gift.

Example, 500 pts. for Mystery Gift

Admin sets 3 items with % chance of recieving certain item:
(lazer gun 60% chance, hamburger 35% chance, barbie doll 5% chance)

lol, sounds funny hehe

[gamerfu]

It occured to me that people love baseball packs, role-playing card packs, models, or even Pokemon. Collectors search for cards that they have to buy multiple packs to get their favorite card or to complete a set. I thought "WOW!", this would encoruage activity and gift giving of giving away their "Mystery Gifts" to other members or exchanging of items.

lol, sounds funny hehe

It would be fun! :cool:

Hello
I want to use this with the shop addon to :
-Let members collect points
-They can use point to buy some "access right" to my "member area" to get some support.

My question is does it come with a "member area(support tichket)" or can I use it with some member area script?

I have installed and works very well!
By the ways could you make a product for vba-dynamic and vba_link directory?

I have photopost pro and vbulletin on the seperate database. How can I fix the plug in for photopost?

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'xperience_done' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

what todo ?

edit: i unstalled it like in the readme

[suiz]

1 - pay to download attachments (certain sections only) rar/zips (not jpegs etc)
2 - Pay uploader a set fee for uploading attachments (certain sections only) rar/zips
3 - no credit no download (must be secure so no one gets stuff for free )
4 - Stats page addon will be discussed when job taken.

As simple as that really - Need it to work only on attachments such as rars/zips - not jpgs

Contact me with timeframe on how long to code etc and with price.I pay fee on completion and can supply refs of coders ive used in the past.

How do I delete or reset the activities listings.

I was experimenting with several things, and now the activities listing is littered with several different changes to member points,... that they didnt instigate by forum usage.

And I just want to reset it and start that log over from now.

also, I think it would be esthetically better to add an additional line break after reputation in postbit display for icons purchased in stores, automatically.

You could use promotions for this. No other way currently possible.

By the ways could you make a product for vba-dynamic and vba_link directory?
As these are paid modification and I don't have them I cannot create a CDP for it.

You cannot easily. You would need to implement a way to read the database without the help of the vBulletin API.

You will run queries to clear it (include your DB prefix!):
DELETE * FROM xperience_promotion_log
DELETE * FROM xperience_award_issues
DELETE * FROM xperience_stats_changes


Will add a log eraser for next version

Earn Points are not showing your Custom Points.Yes, they are showing in AdminCP

But, in the forum -> Experience -> Earn Points -> Points for Misc, Not

[Phalynx]

That's right, Earn Points are not showing your Custom Points.

This is not a bug. Custom points are using a different mechanism for saving. Maybe in 3.8.5 I will write a plugin for it.

[smirkley]

Just had an idea, not sure if it was ever said before,...

But I just finished setting up the store feature, and was noticing that you can turn on or off the ability to give away items to other members after purchase. I think it would be awsome if items individually could be set in store cp as giveawayable or not giveawayable.

That way certain store items could be bought, but not given away, while others could be. For example, if I let someone buy a profile icon using their reputation points only, this way only that person could own that icon but not give it away, while other store items bought just for fun, could be given away to any other member.

Maybe even have in item store management cp where individual items could be sold back to store, while others cant.

Like just checkboxes in the item setup.

Just thinking out loud.

If you want to change the phrase just look for it and edit it.

Now, if you want to use a 32x32 image instead of 16x16, you can do it. No matters if it says 3x3, 100x100 or whatever.

You can leave them in the size they are. 32x32 is just a recommandation.
Otherwise resize via PhotoShop or similar...

You can add an award (via manage: awards cp) if you want to.
The most infraction executioner will win it.

Thats rare.
I may help you, why don't you PM your url so I can take a look.

Maybe your awards settings are wrong.

There are 2 diferent things:

-An award to whom has a lot of infraction points and
-An award to whom has given more infraction points than other moderators

I'm telling this to you because your 1st post talking about this problem was that "arm of law" weren't working in your forum and "arm of law" is for giving an award to whom has given more infraction points to other users that the rest of your moderators

What do you mean dude?.

If you mean vbexperience 3.8.4.2 showes last activity at member profile yes, i can see all mamebr's activity at any profile.
It would be great if experience only showes our own last activity.

Yes, I get this too. I did send a link to Phalynx to see how it shows up on my forums, I think he suggested that it isnt showing up this way on his forums, but I think he is looking into it.

[Nadeemjp]

If you don't enabled xperience promotions than this part is not doing anything. Maybe your vBulletin promotions are not correct.

hello phalynx, i have deleted all the promotions and still i am having this problem.
based on activity all my inactive members are being transferred into the COPPA moderation awaiting cat and doesnt even appear in primary or additional user list.

now that i remember, this all started happening ever since i upgraded to the latest version.
do you think this has to do with that?

can you please look into the matter cause i have tried everything and cant seem to fix it.

In edition:
I had data provider installed but it was not working so i uninstalled it.
before that i had disabled thread necromancer as well. now i try to uninstall the thread necromancer, but it gives error of the following type:

The uninstall code is bugged. Please install first the fixed version that comes with vBExperience 3.8.4, after that you can uninstall it.

[Nadeemjp]

thanx phalynx the necromancerp roblem is solved.
and i am a bit embarassed.
actually at some point i had installed inactive user move to another usergroup from paul. i had completely forgotten about that. i just found out when i was installing necromance and uninstalling it and the problem is solved.

i am so sorry to have bothered you

thanx

[Phalynx]

Nice to hear it works now.

[Phalynx]

It's here! vBExperience 3.8.5 Beta 1 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.

vBExperience 3.8.5 Beta 1:
- Achievements!
- Promotions!
- Notification on Awards/Promotions
- 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

Great plugin. excatly what I was looking for (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1851715). It would be even more cool to have some goals. For example: write 5 posts to unlock "first five" achievement or something like that. There could be a lot of achievements for adding friends, get you thread sticked and all other similar stuff.. :)


Made a little design tweak, I think it's a bit better:

Just open
Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > enter xperience_gfx > and replace all code with
<div align="left">

<if condition="$vboptions[xperience_bardescriptions]">
<table width="$vboptions[xperience_bar_width]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<td colspan="3"><div class="smallfont"><a href="xperience.php?go=earn">$vbphrase[xperience_points]</a>: $xperience[points], $vbphrase[xperience_level]: $xperience[level]</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>

YAAS has nothing to do with vBExperience. Go to AdminCP, Experience, Manage Awards - and edit the award that has the Thread Necromancer.

Same error due to thread necromancer.

Achievements are included in vBExperience 3.8.5 - you can download the beta 1 from few posts above and test it.

oh, phalynx i have deleted a couple of awards that were displaying links in them:o
did i make a istake?

is there any other way to cure these errors?

[SEW810]

Installing 3.8.5 BETA 1.

:( Phalynx, I think you forgot to update post :)
I didn't know that 3.8.5 BETA is available :p

************** EDITED *****************
Admin CP options such as "Settings: Shop, Settings: General, etc are missed :(

You can access to those options only through "vbulletin options" menu

**************** SECOND ISSUE *************
At xperience.php screen, tables are screwed (see attach)
Table is not divided correctly.

[original'as]

Achievements are included in vBExperience 3.8.5 - you can download the beta 1 from few posts above and test it.

It worked, but after completing Recount I get a blank page http://www.topzone.lt/forumas/xperience.php?go=achievements


And I got another idea. It could show totol achievements in postbit with the link to the users profile page, there it would be possible to see all achievements, date earned and button to compare with yours.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/08/2.gif

[SEW810]

Just love achievements stuff!!.

Suggest: At awards wrap.
It showes a small image (16x16), no matters if my image at FTP server is 3000 x 30000 pixeles.It always showes 16 x 16 !!!

My suggest: Is there any way to show image just as adjusted size at "Awards manager" option?.
Regards !!!!!!

See attached pics.
Same image, same path, same everything but... different size ????

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh God no maaaaan!!!!!!!, c'mon, you must be kidding me.
all my members 100% activity once again?,

Phalynx , did you include class_xperience.php fixed in 3.8.5?????

[Phalynx]

Installing 3.8.5 BETA 1.

:( Phalynx, I think you forgot to update post :)
I didn't know that 3.8.5 BETA is available :p
Yes, I know. That's because Beta 1 is not really stable.

************** EDITED *****************
Admin CP options such as "Settings: Shop, Settings: General, etc are missed :(

You can access to those options only through "vbulletin options" menu
That's the intention. As the options are growing, the menu was cluttered and reserved half of the screen.


**************** SECOND ISSUE *************
At xperience.php screen, tables are screwed (see attach)
Table is not divided correctly.
Could be a problem, as I don't know how to solve this :( I need a new menue.
Idea 1:
Drop down menues

Idea 2:
Left or right aligned menue (not top like now)

Idea 3:
?

It worked, but after completing Recount I get a blank page http://www.topzone.lt/forumas/xperience.php?go=achievements
You are getting a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. Something get wrong. Can you please check your php error logs what happened?

In postbit it is showing *always* a 16x16 pic because of the postbit. The postbit is not a picture gallery with 48 sized pictures. The descriptions says it already - max 16x16.

[SEW810]

lol, that's right !!!! lol
I agree with you, about "The postbit is not a picture gallery with 48 sized pictures" ;)

But what about:

Oh God no maaaaan!!!!!!!, c'mon, you must be kidding me.

That is also a behaviour in 3.8.4 - if the recount is not finished, many people have 100%. The harmonization about 99.9, 99.8 is done after that process ends.

Also, a first beta is never bug free :)

Yeah, I know.

You have already made a lot for us giving this great mod to all the ppl.

[Bleed0ut]

Origional'as care to share the code for your postbit? Just that part... Its a nifty idea..

[Bleed0ut]

The achievements are nice (3.8.5) but theres no way to really show them off. They aren't listed in your profile even.

[Fil*]

Hi, this is a great mod :) o

One thing that I need to now is how can I customize the placement of the "experience" tab in member profile. I have modified the memberinfo page to look more like myspace style, I don't have stuff like about me, friends, experience etc. tabbed anymore (it's expanded and standalone). The experience window is now on the right side of the page (main column, expanded), but I need to move it to the left side and collapse it. Another way is to remove the experience window entirely and to place it on a separate page, leaving only a link to that page in the profile. Would it be possible ? Where can I find the code for the memberinfo block placement ? (it's not in the memberinfo, co maybe I'm missing something).
It would be nice also to have activity and level bars below user profile picture in member profile, can you please suggest how can I place them there ?

Thanks and good luck, happy coding :).

Yes I know. The first Beta is just a first try to implement them. Take a look at the awards, it's the same story in developing.

Another way is to remove the experience window entirely and to place it on a separate page, leaving only a link to that page in the profile. Would it be possible ? Where can I find the code for the memberinfo block placement ? (it's not in the memberinfo, co maybe I'm missing something).
It would be nice also to have activity and level bars below user profile picture in member profile, can you please suggest how can I place them there ?

Thanks and good luck, happy coding :).
You should check the code that is hooking in memberinfo complete

How do I alter the settings for the vBExperience promotions? I can see how to turn it on, but unlike the normal vB promotions where there is a menu to add promotions, in vBExperience I don't see it. Please help!
AdminCP, Experience, Manage Promotions...

[shaqoneal]

I also wanted to know if it was possible to move the awards from next to username to somewhere else in postbit, like under the post count in "Yet Another Award System (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=196244&highlight=awards)"

AdminCP, Experience, Manage Promotions...

Thanks for your speedy response Phalynx. That option isn't actually in my AdminCP:
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9388/experiencew.jpg

I did re-read your readme and found that it can be done through the levels XML file, but again, I don't see such an option in the admincp (I'm using vBulletin 3.8.1 with the latest version of vBExperience, 3.8.4.2)

[chick]

This is really odd. I have the latest of both vb and experience and the levels show in the postbit legacy of my custom skin but refuse to show in my unmolested stock theme and both postbits have the same code (same template)

If you right click on the stock vb level area in the postbit you see....... /images/misc/level/grey
with no .png at the end. It is not pointing to the correct directory.

but in the custom working postbits you see....... /xperience/images/grey.png

How can I fix this this. Both the original stock vbtheme and the custom theme have the same postbit template, yet the original vb theme shows incorrectly.

Both have the $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left] is in all postbit templates. As a fatter of fact all $template_hook_ are present.

What should I try?

That will be possible in vBExperience 3.8.5 . Awards will be showed at postbit (configurable)

And yeah, I've never used Experience promotions but you are right, that option is not present in 3.8.4.2 but it is present in 3.8.5 Beta 1

[rlneutral]

Anyone has a Russian translation for 3.8.4.2?

[Bleed0ut]

Can Anyone explain to me exactly what 'Per Day' means? Is that every day you've logged into the forums or is it just how many days since you registered...?

[SEW810]

It's the average posts per day, depends on PPD factor at vbexperience settings.
I guess that "factor" is something like a period, Phalynx can explain it to us better than me.

For example:
Factor = 30

VBexperience calculates the average PPD written by all users within the last 30 days in your forum.

If all your users posted 180 along of 30 days... well, the PPD will be 6

[shaqoneal]

the vbexperience promotion system is not working for me and it's driving me nuts!! can anybody please tell me what i did wrong? i have the xml file attached.

for some reason it keeps kicking my users to usergroup 2, even though i want it to put them in different usergroups like 16, 17, and 18. all of the levels and experince points and being read correctly, but it's ignoring the promotions (or usergroup i want certain users to change to)!

btw, i do not have any vbulletin promotions. i only have turned on vbexperience promotions.

thanks in advance for any help.

Is there any way that you could add an awards showcase similar to that of the Yet Another Awards System?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=89359&d=1226657593

I'm not a fan of having them by the username, but I want them to be displayed in the postbit.

GUI for Promotions are in 3.8.5, not 3.8.4.x - there you must handle it in xml files.

Copy images to your style/misc folder or just upgrade to 3.8.4 - it's using a path that is not bound to a style.

Ugrade now to vBExperience 3.8.5 (Beta 1 is currently released, Beta 2 will follow today), as it features a GUI for promotions.

Marius, when a user is deleted does that mean all the information associated with that user is deleted or would we have to remove that information manually from the database?

If not what would the query be to remobve data from the tables of a user who is now deleted.

Only informations in the user table are deleted. All others, like shop are not deleted.

I figured it out, I had to revert the stock theme template (gfx full) but i will update to the next latest version. Thank you.

will this integrate with kbank, or can the kbank points be converted for this one ?

What is your PPD Timeframe?

[Bleed0ut]

Heres my full settings:

Average Posts Per Day: 0 (Set automaticly, not by me)
Timeframe for activity: 10
Include User's Posts: No
Include Users Blog: No
Include Users Visitor Mess: No
Include Users Social Group: No
Include Users Last Activity Date: Yes (Which doesn't seem to be working, but I'm not sure)

[Phalynx]

That's the fault. Last Activity Date does not increase the PPD, it's decreasing it. For every day the user is not online (in the timeframe), it's decrease in 0.1 steps.
As you disabled all calculations, the PPD is 0.

This cannot work.

[Bleed0ut]

Ah so your saying I have to have at least one thing active. Ok, so if I set Include User's Posts: Yes and recount I still have PPD of 0 is that normal?

[Phalynx]

No, it's not normal. Do you have any forums/users on exception list?

[BostWick-x]

Is there any way that I can limit what types of points that my users give to each other? I only want them to be able to give custom points to each other.

The reason being is that I want the points for posts, etc. to be the way of measuring their experience, but I want the custom points to be their spendable money, as it's the only currency that's accepted in the shop.

Thanks, and great mod. My members absolutely love it. :)

[Bleed0ut]

Phalynx. I have one or 2 users on exception list (Due to them being RSS Bots) and no forums are on it. Do I need to take them off? I think I have ignore inactive users set to if that makes a difference.

[Bleed0ut]

Just to verify I have one user disabled (Due to being a Bot) and Only Active Users set to Yes.
Thanks for any help.

Currently you need to edit the source. There is an internal exception list for that. Maybe I extend that so it is editable.

Very strange. Please provide me a temporary admin on your forum so I can take a further look.

BTW, PM sent with temp admin info.

SO, I want to display what my members buy in shop on their Signature ? How can I Do that ?

[intruder]

Is it possible to have a setting that gives different points for threads opened in certain sub-forums and for the whole activity of users in those sections?

For example, if I have a sub-forum called IT&Gadgets and certain users are always active there by writing reviews or getting involved into discussions, those users to receive higher points for their threads/reply given in that sub-forum than users active in others sub-forums like lets say "Funny things". What I want is a difference between the quality of threads/posts based on what subjects I want to be developed on the forum.

Also It would be pretty nice to have a button available for the staff directly on the forum and could be used just like giving infraction points, with the difference it will add experience points to the user for a certain thread/post.

Thank You,

[Bleed0ut]

Just for more info on my bug (PPD of 0), If I set YES to Include Visitor posts (There is very very few on the whole site), I get a PPD of .5. If I also set YES to Include Social Group messages (Once again only just a handful on the whole site) I get a PPD of .6666666667. What I'm getting for this is the option for Include Posts isn't actually including any posts at all... So all its including is when i have Visitor and Social Group messages turned to YES. Otherwise I get a PPD of 0 because all I'm asking it to count is Posts, which for some reason it isn't.

[BostWick-x]

Please do. :)

How would I go about editing it manually though?

Yes, with settings in Experience: Shop you can set so items will be displayed in different places in postbit.

What I want is a difference between the quality of threads/posts based on what subjects I want to be developed on the forum.
There is a plugin called Advanced Forums. With it you can set some settings depending of the forum.

Also It would be pretty nice to have a button available for the staff directly on the forum and could be used just like giving infraction points, with the difference it will add experience points to the user for a certain thread/post.

Thank You,
There is a button in the AdminCP, Experience, Manage Custom Points. Will think about addition to the user profile.

Please do. :)

Edit xperience.php, edit the line that begins with $gap_notallowed (it's at the top!)
Extend it with the column names that you don't want. The names you can find in the table xperience_stats.


Yeah pretty strange. I have, usergroups, users ID and forums ID on exception list an everything is working good :erm:

Thanks for helping me out :)

[rugby]

is it possible to add activity codes in usercp and forumhome template? i tried to add, but it didnt worked.

[Phalynx]

Please specify "activity codes".

[Phalynx]

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

[gamerfu]

You are implementing (in BETA3) points for temp downloads?! :eek:

Oh yeah! :cool:

Do we have to use DownloadsII or LDM to use this feature or can we use the default vB download or does it incorporate all?

[Phalynx]

It's almost done. The plugin for LDM/DLII is finished, the database can handle it - but it's missing an input field in the shop properties. It will follow then in Beta 3.

Beta 3 will be released in around 2 Weeks, because I'm on holidays next week.

[matthewhotdude]

Do I Have to upgrade to the new beta to do this

Promotion system
To motivate users to do more on your forum I created the promotion system. By reaching defined xperience points the user will be moved to another usergroup - where you can set graphics, shadows, highlighting, etc... What is interesting in combination with this: you can give the user more possibilities f.e. larger avatars or bigger PM box. A log of the promotions is available.

I can't work out how to set this up

[Phalynx]

If you can't work out, you need to upgrade to the Beta 2. Older versions are much more complicated (editing XML files). With 3.8.5 there is a GUI for that.

[matthewhotdude]

Will upgrade now, As last t ime I tried the promotion it ended up pomoting all my banned users lol

[Phalynx]

This will not happen with 3.8.5, as you define the group from which the user can promote to another.
