Why do I keep getting:
The point field is:
in the Point Market system.

EDIT:

Found it..

Market_xperience no longer exists.. It's xperience now.

Please remember to add the plug-in for the posts social groups ;)

Hmm I wonder what Phalynx would change that. I sent him a PM related to it let me ask him before you use that as the field because vBExperience does a lot of calculations and I don't want our mod to mess up how he calculates points earned.



As a follow up to what I posted earlier, I'm on hold on releasing Beta 4 until I hear from Phalynx on related to the vBExperience changes. That's simply because the majority of the users who use the market also use vBExperience and it's very important that the two work well together.

As far as good news, I've done a lot of modifications to the product pointmarket that's given people issues over the year that the Market has been alive. I finally found and fixed a longstanding bug related to an unclosed tag occurring on importing the Point Market that some people experienced. Another bug I fixed was a duplicate column error related to the mid or users not having the mid column being created. Once you upgrade to Beta 4 this should fix these errors and it will also save so it doesn't try to create duplicate fields in the future. Beta 4 is going to feature the screenshot selection for the Market Store. There isn't much left to script related to the 3.1x series so we will be going to a Release Canidate stage by the end of May and wrapping this bad boy up :)

Great news and I helped to contribute to fix those pesky bugs! Exterminate them all!

This is the official post for Beta 4 release:

Beta 4 is now complete. I am very happy to announce that with the exception of the coupon listings page, all main features for the 3.1x series have been scripted with the Point Market. I fixed some severe long term bugs that were occurring for some users since the version 1x series with this release. In addition, the product file has been updated and is far more advanced and better to deal with when doing upgrades from existing Point Market versions.

Beta 4 has a few features that have been heavily requested but never been completed due to time constraints or me not being exactly sure on how to complete. You can no have files that users can purchase with the Store section of the point market that can be downloaded. This is in addition to the current no shipping method, mail method, or email method. Another cool feature I scripted with Beta 4 is I completely redid the big image screenshots that are available for market store items. Admins can now upload up to 5 images that can be viewed by users in a nice javascript slideshow. I really hope that the improvements I've made over the beta series will greatly benefit you the users.

So what's next? Well the next Beta will see the completion on my end as far as main features. All I have left to do is script the coupon listings page, which I've already started on. That will just display available coupons for users to choose from if they purchased the feature. Outside of that, I'm done. There will be 2 more betas in total. 1 will have my coupon listings and the final beta will feature any other minor tweaks or requests the users really feel I need to add before this goes to a release candidate.

If I missed any bugs that were reported and still exist, please make sure you reply to "remind" me. We want to squash all remaining bugs so this thing can go gold with as few RC's as possible. Below is the bug fix log:

Thanks!

I don't know if this is possible with your script or has to be done with uCash (Point System, I'm using), but there anyway to support majority of the Shout boxes/Chat Boxes to gain points for posting?

Gaining points per shout would be more of a modification for your point system to add (vbexperience, ucash, vbcredits, etc.) because it deals with adding points. Point systems main objectives are to do actions to earn points where as the market is supposed to take away points ;)

And I'm very glad that you can now successfully import the point market. Just remember because your using 4.0.1 that there might be a few sections that don't work completely correct because your version is about a year old.

Yeah, I figured.

Is uCash the best way to go? or which one do you recommend, I don't think their a side by side comparison.

Yeah, I can't any many other can't justify the price of upgrading to the latest when the upgrades cost $175 whereas it use to be $60.00, Only reason why I'm on v4 is it's OWNED v3 license that offers v4 from that license, which is perfectly legal, based on the F.A.Q. I've read.

I planned to upgrade in the future, either by sucking it up and just buy the license or find a cheaper license on a forum that someone else had purchased an no longer needs it.

Hmmm... there is no point product I'd really recommend over the other.

uCash as you asked about is very-very easy to use. It doesn't have near the features or potential capabilities in determining how you earn points as some of the other point systems; however, for some users that is exactly what they want. Something that is very easy to use and straight forward to manage.

I personally use vBExperience because I like how it calculates activity. The admin system is rather easy. In addition, I think the majority of market users use vbexperience in some form or another so I want to make sure I'm familiar with it as possible.

There are some other modifications that you should also consider such as vBCredits Deluxe or vBActivity. I originally built the Point Market system for vBCredits because I used it in the 3.x series and was highly frustrated that no one came out with a shop/store system to purchase cool market addon features. I'd probably still use vbcredits deluxe if I could find the cash to purchase the full version that isn't offered here because many of my users still use it. vBActivity from what I saw was a great activity alternative to vBExperience, but it just depends on what admin cp system your most comfortable with since the layouts are a little different on each.

There's some other systems I haven't tested near as much such as kbank and so forth. Those you could also try but really I'd recommend installing several systems and playing with each for a few days before you make up your mind. Remember, the Point Market will support two different currencies so theoretically you could use 2 point systems and use them in some capacity or another within the Point Market. I can't really recommend one system over the other because I try to stay neutral so I can support all point systems but play around and find out what works best with your forum needs. If one system doesn't make sense or is too confusing there are enough point system alternatives you can always try but only one Point Market ;)

Sorry to be so n00b, but HOW does one sell a gift that has been created through the "create a gift" item? It shows up on profiles as purchased and active, but I see not how to sell it.
