vBExperience 4

[Phalynx]

vBExperience 4.1 for vBulletin 4

Tested with all Version of vBulletin Forum and Suite 4.0.4 -> 4.1.11

Created by Marius Czyz aka Phalynx.

Triple Winner of the "Mod of the Month"-Award (March 2008, September 2009, July 2010) on vBulletin.org.

What is vBExperience?
vBExperience is your free feature packaged solution for motivating your users. vBExperience is an advanced and highly customizable level/promotion and activity measure system with awards, achievements, promotions and activities. It will calculate an activity and experience score for every user based on their activites on the forum. Now your users will see how their level is increasing by participating on your forum.

Communities are not only defined by post count, they need much more parameters: Are the postings the user creates helpful? Are his threads frequently read? Does the user participate on the community by posting pictures, attachments, leaving visitor messages, tagging threads? How can the user's activitiy be compared to others? All this can be answered with this mod. Additionally your users get awards and collect achievements for beeing active on your board.

vBExperience is fully translated to many languages. Beside english there are language files for german, french, italian, portuguese, spanish, swedish and chinese simplified. Polish, turkish, persian are not fully translated.

Comments, suggestions, translations, bugs, etc... are very welcome! Support is only given to people who have clicked "Mark as Installed":

/***** Demo *****\
No Demosite currently available.


/***** INSTALLATION *****\
Please read the file readme_install_uninstall_upgrade.txt for detailed instructions!


/***** Primary Support *****\
As vBulletin.org does not offer any help managing modifications, espacially the complex one like vBExperience, I have to decided to open a site together with TheMayhem that is dedicated just for this.
It features a forum not just a single thread, a bug and feature tracker. And you also test our modifications over there.



/***** Featurelist *****\

*** Plugins ***
vBExperience can be easily extended by using it's custom data provider interface (CDP). With the CDP everyone is able to create plugins that integrates into vBExperience calculation process. There are already several plugins like Post Thanks Integration.
The plugins data can also be used to create achievements, awards and also promotions.


*** Insight Experience ***
The insight into your personal experience and what's going on on the community. Currently support basic services like activity and some featured achievements, there are plans to extend this with helpful hints on how progress, depending on users points. Also a statistics module is in work.


*** Awards ***
Motivate your users to be the best in a defined category! With the Awards you are able to reward users who collect the most points, f.e. by making new friends and leading a social group.
The awards are shown in Rankings and Profile. You can set them also to display in postbit near the username. There is a scheduled job running once a day (02:30h) to calculate them.
Via AdminCP they are completely customizeable and can also be assigned manually.

Currently there are six default awards: Most Popular, Activity Award, Posting Award, Community Award, Frequent Poster, Blog Award, Calendar Award, Discussion Ender, Master Tagger, User with most referrers, Downloads, Arm of Law, King of Publishing.
You can create as much awards as you like. Just select a title, choose from one of the 250 images and select the required points for it.


*** Achievements ***
Achievements are very similar to the awards a reward to the user. Unlike an award an achievement is not limited to a single user.
Similar to awards, you can create as much achievements as you like. Just select a title, choose from one of the over 500 images and create the required condition for it.


*** Promotion system ***
The promotion system enables you to move users to other usergroups, depending on their experience points. You can create conditions that have to be met to be promoted. Benefits and extended permissions will be shown automatically to the user. Promotions are showing also possible jumps from current to the next possible group with the required conditions.
Using this you can create multiple groups and assign additional features. Just an example: Usergroup 1 has no custom avatars and just a capacity of 20 private messages. With a condition of 1000 Experience points the user moves to Usergroup 2, where the user is able to upload his own avatar and store more private messages.


*** Rankings ***
Showing User, Level, Awards, Activity Points (experience, thread, post, user, misc) - sortable.


*** Social Groups Rankings ***
Starts the competition between social groups! This feature ranks the groups depending on their average user experience points.


*** Earn Points ***
This is an overview for the user on how points can be collected. It features also a possibility to compare own points to the community's average. All data is beeing pulled automatically from the database.


*** Give Away Points aka Point Donation ***
Users can donate their points to other community members. Choose the field which will be used for give away and select the amount that will be transferred. Admins can donate custom points to the user.


*** Statistics aka Leaderboards ***
The leaderboard is showing a Top-x list of the leading users. Usefull for optimizing points of the point provider. Only enabled point providers with results will be displayed.


*** Shop aka Market ***
vBExperience integrates easily with the Point Market System v3 by TheMayham (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232676).
It features a virtual item store, username items, bank, gifts, gambling, lottery, and a lot more!
As of vBExperience 4.0, the vBExperience 3.8 Shop has been discontinued.



/***** Collecting Points *****\
vBExperience is collecting points for a user counting his actions in the community. The collected points can be used to reward users with awards, achievements and promotions - even if the collected data comes from a plugin.

Beside the automatic collection, the admin can manually donate custom points to the user, for example for a special reward. Of course you can use this also for awards, achievements and promotions.


Taken into calculation are these things:
Threads
- Creating threads and gaining additional points from views, replies, votes and ratings to this thread
- Creating thread tags
- Making a thread sticky
- Socialgroup Discussions (Discussions, Posts)

Posts

You have to install these modifications for your own, vBExperience doesn't install nor touches these.
More addons will be published as soon as they are finished.



/***** Calculation of the activity *****\
The system calculates the activity (week, month and also a custom defined datespan, 60) by counting the actions a user has done. An action can be a post, a new thread, rating, download, etc... The activity bars will be filled during the first weeks. This has changed from earlier versions where just postings, visitor- and group messages have been counted.



/***** Settings *****\
You can control how many points are given to every calculation. For example you can give many points for creating new threads but only a few for views of that thread. Setting a value to 0 will disable a setting.
Many settings regarding the behaviour of vBExperience are making it easy to adjust it to your needs. You can select from 10 colors for the progress bars and also choose from around 250 icons.
Additionally, you can set ignore users (f.e. for bot users), forums (f.e. offtopic forums) and usergroup id's. Please keep in mind that out of the box the usergroupid 6 (Administrators) is beeing ignored.



/***** Performance, especially on Big Boards *****\
vBExperience has been tested on smaller and also on some bigger sites. I know from boards with around 120k users running this mod smoothly. More about this topic can be read in the file readme_optimization.txt



/***** Frequently asked questions *****\
Q: How do I change the name Experience to something new?
A: You can change the name via phrases. Just search and replace all phrases that contains the word "Experience".

Q: When installing vBExperience, does everyone start from scratch, or will it automatically configure everyone's points based on actions before the install?
A: If you recount, vBExperience will calculate ALL existing data since the beginning of the board. If you used vBCredits, vBActivity, uCash and similar systems - there is no need to convert the points.

Q: My conditions don't work correctly on achievements and promotions.
A: Conditions in achievements and promotions are calculated in POINTS, not in count of items.
If you create an achievement for reaching the first 10 Days, you must enter the points needed for this. If you reward 2 points for every day, you have to set 2 points for every day since registering. Calculation: 10 days * 2 points = 20 as condition. So you will have to set 20 as the condition.

Confirmed error. as above, I also have the dasdasdasdasdas at the top of the page.

And Ive tried to add the quick links, link and nothing happens. Ive tried removing the navtab link without change.

Shop is nowhere to be found even after enabling it. Ive reset my cache and tried on other browsers with the same results.

I even tried to turn it off from settings and I still get the navtab link. I does however say its disabled on the next page. :)

[Scalemotorcars]

Error seems to have something to do with Shop

if ($vbulletin->options['xperience_use_shop'])
{
WriteShopItems($user);
}

Another one.

In IE Im getting a red x(missing image) for members who are awarded the Posting Award, and Frequent Poster. In FF I dont get either image it simply leaves it out.

I just keep finding stuff. For me the dasdasdasdasdasdasdasdas only shows at the top of showthread.php

[Xencored]

Awesome thank you so much for bringing this baby to 4 i will be swaping vBActivity pro to this badboy.

Thank you *bows*

[decipher442]

Shop is nowhere to be found even after enabling it. Ive reset my cache and tried on other browsers with the same results.


As mentioned in the description... the shop is not included in this version.

Hi and thanks for bringing back this lovely mod. Just I'm getting mad with displaying the bars in the postbit. I had User Bar mod installed. I unistalled it. Then I found out when User Bar mod is installed, Experience bars are displayed (with that dasdas at the top). When I unistall User Bar no Experience bar s visible. I checked postbit_legacy and could not find $template_hook.postbit_userinfo_left] in it, though I have the default theme. Can you help me fixing the issue?

Please revert the postbit/postbit_legacy templates, maybe the user bar changed the temples.
If you change the location for the bars, do they appear? I'm also using a default 4.0.x template and I can find that hook.


finally!!! :D good job Marius!
Thanks Christian :) Awaiting much feedback to bring it to a stable final code.

[Phalynx]

The promised changelog and next beta todo list:

4.0.0 Beta 2
- Reworked templates to fit into the new style of vBulletin 4
- New feature: Achievements. Similar to Awards, every user can get achievements as a reward for actions.
- New feature: Promotions. Promote your users to another usergroup based on vBExperience points. Fully customizable. Promotions are showing usergroups and conditions for a promotion to the next group. Promotions are also showing which benefits and permissions/allowances you get with a promotion.
- You can import old vBExperience Legacy promotions (that were created within level.xml)

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.

- Notification on Awards, Promotions and Achievements
- AdminCP/Experience with a manual recount for Promotions and Achievements
- Activity has been extended to count also activities for 7 and 30 days, additionally to the default 60 days (configurable). Activitiy is now based not only on postings/messages, all actions that are calculated by vBExperience are taken into account.
- Progress Bars in 10 colours like black, silver, pink, red, turquoise, purple, orange, blue, green, yellow. Easily add your own color that fits best to your style.
- Much more Icons to choose from (downloadable extra icon pack must be uploaded to xperience/icons)
- Awards and Achievements Showcase on profile

Todo for the next beta (will be released around 26th June):
- GAP. Give Away Points to another User
- Shop. Buy items with your vBExperience Points / Credits and show them in your profile Showcase and on postbit.
- Statistics aka Leaderboards. Who is the best in different areas? Who is leading the posting section?
- Awards and Achievements on Postbit (configurable)
- Permissions

That fixed it :) thanks great work

[Greight]

Thank you, but please isn't the phrase this: {vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_left}.
If yes, then I have it on both postbit and postbit_legacy. I don't know what happens that when I install userbar, Experience bars show up! :confused:

[Phalynx]

Yes, thats it. Please PM me a temporary admin account to your forum, so I can take a look.

[Scalemotorcars]

Hi, loving the look of this.

Ive just installed ( without hitch ), updated all counters, but user activity shows as 0% for all users. Dumb question maybe, but does this build up from the time the mod was installed ?

Thanks

Yes, that is correct. This is one of the biggest changes from vBXP3.8 to vBXP4.0:
Calculation of the activity
The system calculates the activity by counting the actions a user has done. An action can be a post, a new thread, rating, download, etc...

[Scalemotorcars]

Marius

Just and FYI the icons are still missing in IE. I uploaded everything from both packets.

[Phalynx]

Can you tell me the URL to this board so I can check that?
Cannot reproduce it here.

Hi Marius,
glad to see the Beta of VBExperience for vB4.

thanks

Hiya, installed straight onto Vb 4.04

I added your included Post thanks addon.

Ive just disabled it, and problem has gone away.

Did you upgraded from vB3.8? Do you have any vBExperience addons installed?

I installed post_thanks from extras folder!

Besides that clean install!

Hello,
You made and fantastic job. I have a little favor to ask. Can you add multiplier for each forum category. It would be very helpfull.

For example; We want our members get less points while opening new thread and sending messages on Cafe section but more points on news section.

[Phalynx]

For vBEeperience 3.8.x there was a plugin called "Advanced Forum Points" that made it possible. I will convert this also to the new version.

BTW, please click "Mark as Installed" - thanks.

Good work!

One request though, can you make a monthly leaderboard (or a definable period), as I'd like to use this to run monthly or bi-monthly competitions.

Doesn't have to be pretty and can be a backend thing, I'd just like to know the top 3 users for any given period.

[etmaxx]

Found the problem it was counting 8 million points for thanks addon just cleared the user Thanks information and it fixed!

[Bouncer222]

UPDATED! love the fixes!

This is probably only a problem to me, but just wanted to confirm, anyone else having the text black as well? It's blending with my theme. Look here: http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/xperience.php?go=activities

And you can't see the text, how to fix it?

[Bouncer222]

BTW I did a recount, after updating to the next beta version.

And I went to my activities tab, and there is a huge list now saying each user earned 2 experience points. http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/xperience.php?go=activities

My question is, did the experience system actually add 2 points for each forum user I have? Because I did a recount on every feature. Hope that makes sense.

Because if it actually added 2 experience points for each user, isn't that not supposed to happen when you do a recount? Because then I can do a million recounts and it would always add 2 experience points.

EDIT: Also for the activities tab on the experience page, all the users' activities are either 0, 50, or 100 percent. That's a bug im assuming?

[Ken Sanders]

Not sure if this is because I imported all my users from a different platform or what, but my "days since registering" is way off.

I had the same problem and just used a standard <font color="#ffffff">TEXT</font> where that phrase is called. I'm sure changing the class should work also.

I ended up changing that in 2 templates so be sure to get both.

The leaderboards will show all points since the beginning. I'm not sure if this would be realised. I will first finish the request to count points from a defined timestamp.

It's adding the 2 points for every day the user is on. Thats because most users are not visiting your site daily, the recount adds it manually. As for the 50% I will take a deeper look.

[Phalynx]

"Days since registering" are the points, not days. The phrase seems not to be clear enough.

I had the same problem and just used a standard <font color="#ffffff">TEXT</font> where that phrase is called. I'm sure changing the class should work also.

If I want to start with Zero Points & I click "Delete Statistics" & "Delete Activities", it resets the points. My question is- will those stay deleted (with the exception of the New Points Earned) or will the cron jobs that run automatically Recalculate all of the points and add them back in?

Phalynx I noticed on your site that the bars are not displaying 0, 50, or 100 percent like on our site. Are you running a future version that you're going to release? Because It's not supposed to display 0, 50 or 100 percent activity percents in the bars im guessing. So thats pretty much a bug?

[Phalynx]

No, that is not a bug. I assume that is because you are collecting fresh data the calculation is not that accurate.

I have three questions though.

1) Not sure if this has been mentioned before or if its just on my site.
Look at the screenshot below, reputation header is located wrongly. Reputation should be over the column with the value 10006 and all the other moved one step to the right.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/06/14.png
It show the same if I choose the default vb style. Running 4.0.4.
What could be wrong?

2) Are there any way to move the Experience navtab button to a navbar button under the Forum navtab?

3) Minor issue, Factor and Yours header should be right aligned in Earn Points tab.

Hi, Phalynx

I had installed in local serve this afternoon, and have some suggestions on Comsuming Points

1. Yes, this mod enable User to earn points by creating thread or post. For instance, if I created a thread and earned 5 scores. But if that thread was deleted, so should subtract 5 from total scores. So does post, article and blog article, if possible.

2. If a thread with many replies was deleted, the score that all those users who had replyed should be subtract too.

3. If user want to download attachments, should pay some score to do. Except special usrgroups, such as Admin, Super Mod and Moderator, can free download. Of course, the free download option can be set in ACP.

I think that if these features can be added into this mod, will make vExperiece be more perfect and wonderful.

Best Regards

Point 1 and 2 are already here. It takes some time before the points for a user are calculated. There is no immediate recalculation.

Did you entered points as the condition?

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.

i did in first time. i put 24 cuz there are 3 points for each friend, but i forgot to put "=" instead of ">"

Hi, Phalynx

I am very glad to see you can add that feature into your todo list, so I want to add something more about Consume Points by Downloading attachments.

1. If I set download an attachment need 10 points, if user's current total points is less than 10 points, so he cannot downlown. And system should notice him that his points is not enough and suggest him to earn more points. Maybe one window with prompting message popup is one choice to alarm user. (Maybe we can inform user in another more perfect way.)

2. There should be a message in Attachments Block something like this : Download one attached file should pay 10 points. (Please see pic. )

3. We can set which types of attached files should be paid. For example, .rar .zip .doc .pdf
Of course, some types attached files are free.

Best regards.

thats all I got for now,and ofc I'd like to see all the old addons from the vb3.8 version but I'm sure your well into working on those :)

[Bouncer222]

Phalynx, I have a great idea to add to this mod! This is something sorta like vbcredits, but since vbcredits isn't free, we can't use it :(

So here's the small feature...
People have to give up points to view events content, or calendar content.

OR

Even better...
there is 1 usergroup for each day of the week.
A person has to give up points to participate on lets say this wensday's events (notice thats one payment of points for all events on that day)

Once a user pays for that event with points, they temporarily have an additional usergroup checked off on their profile which is usergroup "Wensday Events", that would be the name of the usergroup.

The usergroup idea might not be useful for others, but for our gaming community it really would be. The reason being that, our game servers check what usergroup someone belongs to when they connect to our gaming servesr. So, we have modifications on our servers that could work with this new feature. Say someone didn't pay with points to participatein the event, the Wensday usergroup therefore wouldn't be attached to their profile as an additional usergroup that they are temporarily in, and therefore the game server would kick them.

Our members love events that we host on the calendar, but they are sometimes lazy to collect points or to post on forums, the experience as is , is great, but its not enough to motivate our community members to participate in the forums.

Also, then on thursday, the wensday usergroup on the member's profile would be unchecked once the event passed, if lets say he/she signed up for 2 events in a row both on wensday, then he/she would have the additional usergroup checked until both events passed.

If you could please implement this, I would gladly give you a nice donation :)

points for using vmoods,maybe for changing your mood once a day https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233336

Points for using iTrader rating system https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232044

Points for using EZIRC,possibly having points build up the ore time you are on irc
this would be good to help forums keep their ircs active
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228345

Points for using the gameroom https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239817

Points for using Shoutcast Status https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=238209
more points the longer you listen if possible would be great.

thats all I got for now,and ofc I'd like to see all the old addons from the vb3.8 version but I'm sure your well into working on those :)
I'll have a deeper look into the mods. As for IRC and Co., there is mostly no data available that can be calculated. vBExperience can only catch data that is stored in tables.


Phalynx, I have a great idea to add to this mod! This is something sorta like vbcredits, but since vbcredits isn't free, we can't use it :(

So here's the small feature...
People have to give up points to view events content, or calendar content.

OR
This has been suggested already few posts ago for attachments.



Even better...
there is 1 usergroup for each day of the week.
A person has to give up points to participate on lets say this wensday's events (notice thats one payment of points for all events on that day)

Once a user pays for that event with points, they temporarily have an additional usergroup checked off on their profile which is usergroup "Wensday Events", that would be the name of the usergroup.

The usergroup idea might not be useful for others, but for our gaming community it really would be. The reason being that, our game servers check what usergroup someone belongs to when they connect to our gaming servesr. So, we have modifications on our servers that could work with this new feature. Say someone didn't pay with points to participatein the event, the Wensday usergroup therefore wouldn't be attached to their profile as an additional usergroup that they are temporarily in, and therefore the game server would kick them.

Our members love events that we host on the calendar, but they are sometimes lazy to collect points or to post on forums, the experience as is , is great, but its not enough to motivate our community members to participate in the forums.

Also, then on thursday, the wensday usergroup on the member's profile would be unchecked once the event passed, if lets say he/she signed up for 2 events in a row both on wensday, then he/she would have the additional usergroup checked until both events passed.

If you could please implement this, I would gladly give you a nice donation :)
Nice idea, but I don't think that such a feature is in any way interesting for most of the people using this mod. As you also said... If you are interested in doing this as a job contact me via PM.

I {think} this is the hack that will do most of what I want for my site, but I do have a question - I noticed past versions had a Photopost Pro add-on available. What is the likelihood of this becoming available in the near future for this version? Or is it needed? I'm still trying to figure out how to get Photopost & VB to full work together in situations like this...
As long as photopost and vBulletin are installed into one DB, you can calculate also data from it. This counts for all data stored in any table, even if it's not use within vBulletin. The custom data provider plugins for vBExperience are completely customizable as they are using the vBulletin Pluginsystem.

Phalynx check your PM :)

[LatinoCheats]

Hello friend! Thanks for your response and assistance.

Now, all the experience and achievements, are above the Avatar, I would change its position, the avatar remains far below me.

"I can put all that experience under?

Thank you very much.

[LatinoCheats]

Dude, I can not find where they are the "Achievements" of the user profile box.

I do not get where are the awards, which appear below the experience.

Could you tell me exactly where they are to modify?

Thank you very much and thank you for this wonderful mod, very good and nice. I say even better than the Activity :)

[PixelFx]

Thanks. Good luck with your vBCredits release.

thanks, everything looks really sharp on this

There are only limited places for such things. Try to move the existing hooks where you need it.

Changing Achievements: AdminCP, Experience, Manage Achievements.

Phalynx, just saying I sent you another PM.
Apparently when I post this you probably notice the PM flashing top right since it's hard to notice it I'm guessing.

[LatinoCheats]

Want to do this:

Thank you for your help.

Yes, it's flashing like a stroboscope in a club saying me that you've sent me an eMail :o

Want to do this:

You will have to edit the template called xperience_achievements_showcase



I also want to move the "activity bar" below the avatar. What I have to do?

Thank you for your help.
Not supported by vBulletin. You would need to edit the postbit template and move an existing hook to the place you want have it.

Unfortunately, mine are in separate databases ... any way to work around it?
Yes. You would need to access the database without the use of the vBulletin framework.

Great News:
vBExperience 4 will be using the Point Market System (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232676) as the primary Shop. With the Point Market System your Users can spend earned points on various vBulletin enhancements.

Can you tell me how to do that? I generally don't do too much tweaking unless I have step-by-step instructions...

You would need PHP Knowledge to do this, as you need to code it.

This is not an vBExperience Bug. It's a Bug introduced in vBulletin Suite 4.0.4:

[Phalynx]

Did you read the link I posted to you? There is a quickfix posted. The final fix will be available with vBulletin 4.0.5.

I've gotten a dozen or so private messages related to vbExperience 4 and whether or not it will work with the Point Market. As of beta 2, the two hacks are NOT compatible in integrating the points earned with the market. You can use them both at the same time but there is no integration. Remember, that's as of beta 2 ;) I figured I'd post it in here so you guys were aware.

[AliceHoward]

I'm confused, if Marius is not carrying on with his own shop and this mod is not going to be compatible with the point market mod, does this mean there will no-longer be a shop for vbexperience?

[Bouncer222]

So phalynx can you please reply to the PM. Thanks :)

The position I want is on the left side. And just realized that my iTrader disappeared, is not compatible with the two together?

Peeerrfect! Friend, thank you, and fits the profile. :)

All right. And my only question I have is:

Is the translation? There is a package for the Spanish? Or I have to translate manual?

Thanks, I await your response.

vBExperience has no problems with iTrader, it is rather supporting it via plugin.

Please check in settings in which position it is currently set.

The language packs will be prepared as soon as vBExperience is stable enough for a release candidate. If you want to translate some parts, there was already a spain translation for vBExperience 3.8.1 available - this needs just to be updated.

[Phalynx]

What do you with "edit manually" - did you changed any field regarding vBExperience? Did you run a recount after your edit?

[Phalynx]

Will that product pull from an old version from the shop, so we don't have to re-add all of our items? We had quite a few and it would be a shame to have to build from the ground up all over again.

@everybody with the Curl-Error.... Beside of posting that error message it would be very interesting to know which vBulletin Version you are running.

Ok brother, thanks for your response.

Wait a bit to see whether to launch official Spanish translation.

One question I can not add more prizes? ie, there are only these three?

"I mean, ACHIEVEMENTS"

"I can add more achievements?

I await your response. Thank you.
You can add thousands of Achievements, if you like:
AdminCP, Experience, Manage Achievements.


i have error in new version

the Update Experience points is not working and i have this error

Are you sure you uploaded the files FIRST to the server and after that imported the product?

[krutten]

I am one of those with the pages and pages of error messages as shown by the others upon trying to import the updated product. I am running 4.0.4 Patch Level 1, using the CMS/blog features.

[Phalynx]

Regarding the curly error installing the product:
Please download the ZIP again and reinstall. There was an incompatibility with vBulletin earlier than 4.0.4

Nice to hear it works now.

@ Phalynx: what's the better procedure to upgrade the product from the older 3.8.5? do you advise that we should uninstall the older version?

[Rene Kriest]

I am so excited about the vb4 port of one of my all-time vb addon favs. :)

[Phalynx]

@ Phalynx: what's the better procedure to upgrade the product from the older 3.8.5? do you advise that we should uninstall the older version?
Christian, install the attached XML (it contains a fix to do a clean uninstall), uninstall it again. Install vBExperience 4.

Me too :) Tell us if all goes well.

[Phalynx]

Ok, you don't have the files installed anymore. Please use the new attached.

[KURTZ]

Ok, you don't have the files installed anymore. Please use the new attached.

Done, so now i can uninstall the vBEX (3.8.5) from the ACP?

[Phalynx]

Yes. After that simply install the new vBExperience 4

[KURTZ]

Yes. After that simply install the new vBExperience 4

The system calculates the activity (week, month and also a custom defined datespan, 60) by counting the actions a user has done. An action can be a post, a new thread, rating, download, etc... The activity bars will be filled during the first weeks. This has changed from earlier versions where just postings, visitor- and group messages have been counted.

Phalynx, would love if you could help me out with this one. I just need what template to edit and I'm sure I'll find how to fix it.

[Phalynx]

This behaviour is hardcoded and cannot be changed, as it depends on the vBulletin API (fetch_musername comes before cache_templates).

What about shop option ?

point market place don't have vbExperience as an option ...

Use the field "Experience", it contains all.

Use the field "Experience", it contains all.

I tried that but didn't seem to get it set right... what is the value? Points?

[krutten]

I tried that but didn't seem to get it set right... what is the value? Points?

To elaborate... can you explain just how the promotion setup is supposed to work? Is the top usergroup the one members are promoted FROM or TO? And does the usergroup promoted FROM have to be the member's primary usergroup?

[nitra1000]

I will first finish the request to count points from a defined timestamp.


Many thanks for the update, Do you know where you got with the above or a ETA on it? (I know it's not a priority) as it would 'inspire' me to donate a little something :p

[krutten]

Never mind... just found the notes in the download. I tend to forget those are there. Sorry to bug you. :)

[krutten]

Another promotion question... I have users that I have promoted to a usergroup based on experience points. I want it to be a condition that they maintain a certain activity level in order to remain there (ie. have at least visited the site, made a post, whatever, within the past month). Is there a way to use the promotion system to automatically demote a user when they don't participate for a month?

[Bigj85]

great to see beta 3 here,will download now and install tomorrow and give more feedback and suggestions.

great to see itrader support :)
I think another good addon would be points for tagging users and getting tagged with
[DBTech] Advanced @User Tagging v1.1 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=242733)

Also I see you have worked with TheMayhem (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=22621) to make the Point Market compatible with Experience,any possibility you could earn exp. for using the "Give a Gift" feature in the point market?

Phalynx (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=49918) you really must be commended for such amazing support,you always listen to what the people want and anytime someone finds an error you fix it right away - keep up the great work its much appreciated

PS. cant wait to use this with point market,my members will love it


EDIT: oops almost forgot,I had experience installed on vb3.8,I recently upgraded to vb4 but I forgot to uninstall experience first,I now have old vbexperience tables in my database and some vbexperience options are still visible in the settings/options page of my admincp.

Do I need to remove these before installing the new vb4 version,and if so how should I go about doing it?

Hi, Phalynx

May I know the approximate date when you finish this feature Consume Points by Downloading Attachments (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2058831&postcount=125) ? before Middle third of July ?

Our users are looking forward to experiecing it ASAP. O(∩_∩)O~

Great mod - thankyou so much for creating this.
is there any way to stop the awards displaying next to the usernames?

[Phalynx]

Yes, via settings (experience awards)

[Budget101]

- The vBExperience Shop has been discontinued.

Ah crap, wish I'd have known this earlier, I wouldn't have taken the time to install & set up a FAQ in my forums on how to use it.

Q: When installing vBExperience, does everyone start from scratch, or will it automatically configure everyone's points based on actions before the install?
A: If you recount, vBExperience will calculate ALL existing data since the beginning of the board. If you used vBCredits, vBActivity, uCash and similar systems - there is no need to convert the points.

*UNinstalled* the best feature of the mod is no longer supported. & there's no way to wipe out points or calculate from a certain date, and although this is on the top of the "to do" list, it's been on the "to do list" since May of 2009.

4.0:

Even if I take the unstable 3.8.5 into account, there are more features than 3.8 ever has.
The Points Market System v3 will replace the internal shop, so if the new Market version comes out there you go with the full featureset.
If you want to have a shop then you can donate me something so I can make some time available. But as long as I'm doing this in my spare free time I see no possibility to create a duplicate modification. BTW, no other modification compareable to vBExperience has it's own shop.
What a pity you are leaving this ship, good luck searching a new adequat one.

That's a Pretty HUGE feature to drop- that's 1/2 the Mod !!! There are tons of "points" mods- the integrated shop MADE the mod, imho.


+ Achievements

Achievements- was already available: 3.8.5 Beta 1, 28th August 2009
Promotions- was already available in older versions 3.8.5 Beta 1, 28th August 2009
Notifications- was already available in older versions 3.8.5 Beta 3, 18th September 2009

would gladly have switched the 2 *new* features below for the original features that were omitted from the converted version.

Insight-
Extended Activity-



You yourself said that the Shop was a HUGE part of vbExperience:

Phalynx said: (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2058679&postcount=117) This week. But I doubt the Shop will be included. The Shop is a huge part of vBExperience and convert needs much more time than I have this week.


I understand it takes time to convert, but in 1 post you say it's "coming" you're "working on it" then weeks later, you dump it altogether and expect no one to notice or say anything.

This 4.x mod is "nice" but is terribly Lacking from your previous versions.

I would hardly say its "terribly lacking" soon it will work in conjunction with the Point Market which has some amazing features that weren't in the old exp shop.
Combine that with the ultimate experience points system which allows Awards, Promotions, Achievements an Insight System and has many rankings for users and groups not to mention the third party addons supported by it and you have in my opinion the best free addon available for vb4.
You can search all you want but right now you won't find anything comparable to this,at least not with such good developer support and 3rd party support,believe me I've looked high and low.

PS. the first things my members asked about when we moved to vb4 without vbexperience was what happened to achievements and awards and why we went back to a post only based promotion sytem,forums are about activity and features like achievements are what keeps users actively posting,yeh a shop is great to spend points on but to me that's not what VBex is all about - just my 2 cents,sorry for being a buttinski :rolleyes:


Uninstalled the old version,thx phalynx for the proper instructions
Installed beta 3 this morning,so far so good, now to spend a few days making hundreds of achievements and setting up promotions.
I guess sleep can wait :cool:

[Phalynx]

You are overrating the shop - or underrating the other things. It was around 15% of the modification. Maybe it was an important part for you, but not for all people.
The Shop was a time eater. It's not only converting. This is a question of support and of further development. Currently I cannot handle support and requests for the shop in my free time. Maybe this will change, but currently you will have to use the other shop - where you have also more possibilities.

Yes, as I also noted that this counted for an unstable release - you noticed the appended "Beta"?. Please don't pick up only quotes that fits to your arguments.

I also stated that you can use the Point Market System, but you are completly ignoring that fact. Instead, you are asking vBActivity for an ETA for a just announced 3rd Party Shop Addon. No further comment needed.

This modification is FREE. There is no crippled lite or a commercial full version. If you like it, download and install it. If not, feel free to choose another modification.


I understand it takes time to convert, but in 1 post you say it's "coming" you're "working on it" then weeks later, you dump it altogether and expect no one to notice or say anything.
I never made the decision hidden. It was announced here in the thread, it is written in the readme and the changelog. Life changes, features also. The Shop was never part of v4.

You are alarming here like you were a customer who ordered something, payed it and never got the product. Please cool down.

I would hardly say its "terribly lacking" soon it will work in conjunction with the Point Market which has some amazing features that weren't in the old exp shop.
Combine that with the ultimate experience points system which allows Awards, Promotions, Achievements an Insight System and has many rankings for users and groups not to mention the third party addons supported by it and you have in my opinion the best free addon available for vb4.
You can search all you want but right now you won't find anything comparable to this,at least not with such good developer support and 3rd party support,believe me I've looked high and low.

Thanks, I also think about it that way.

Uhm, I don't have any server with MySQL4 anymore. If you need help with this, please provide me via PM a temporary admin account with execute SQL permissions.
I wish having MySQL 4 wasn't my case, but due to certain circumstances, it'll be that way for some time.

Hello,
You made and fantastic job. I have a little favor to ask. Can you add multiplier for each forum category. It would be very helpfull.

For example; We want our members get less points while opening new thread and sending messages on Cafe section but more points on news section.

For vBEeperience 3.8.x there was a plugin called "Advanced Forum Points" that made it possible. I will convert this also to the new version.

BTW, please click "Mark as Installed" - thanks.



I havent seen vbAdvanced Forum Points on new version. We need experience to use it properly.



Please explain more what you mean by "vbAdvanced Forum Points"

Ahh, I was misleaded by the "vBAdvanced", as this is the name of a company providing misc. modifications. Advanced Forum Points will be released this week.

Converters are not needed, as vBExperience calculates all data from the beginning. Just run an recount.

Yes you are right but donations between members of other systems (like vbplaza and vbcredits) will be canceled :)
I don't know if someone else need a converter hmm :erm:

Yes you are right but donations between members of other systems (like vbplaza and vbcredits) will be canceled :)
