Question: (trying to decide whether to downlaod this or vBCredits) - is there a "per forum" setting? For example, can I allow users to earn points by creating a thread in my review forums (which power GARS), or news forums (which power VBA CMS), but not elsewhere?

In addition, when defining levels and experience points, can I define level titles also?

I can't manage my settings in the AdminCP.
Like:
vBExperience

Settings: General
Settings: Bars
Settings: Points
Settings: Awards
Settings: Shop
Settings: Stats
Statistics: Level

When I click one, I only see:
vBulletin Options

vBulletin® v3.7.3 Patch Level 1, Copyright ©2000-2008, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Strange enough:
Statistics: Level
Delete Statistics
Recount
Manage Awards
Manage Shop
Manage Custom Points
Import another level product
Those are working correctly.
Anyone a solution?

I fixed it and save as addon_for_3.7.17_postrate.xml

Just for confirmatiion, that change would be for 3.7.18 release. File has been updated and saved as addon_for 3.7.18_postrate.xml

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
There is might be a small problem if somebody installed my previous release of this hack:
This code doesn't seem to work:

So one may need to execute MySQL command to change "points_misc_postrate" to "points_post_postrate" by oneself.

AND THIS MAY BE A BUG FOR vBExperience:

awardfields for Awards are stored in table: <TABLE_PREFIX>xperience_awards

For Awards that take points_misc_postrate into account, it will store this fieldname in this awardfields. After I change the field to points_misc_postrate, the awardfields is not updated. So SQL query error is triggered say field points_misc_postrate doesn't exist (of course). This is true for any addon that update/upgrade containing changing of field names.

Will this mod be updated for vb 3.8 beta (maybe RC) or will you wait until vb 3.8 becomes final? Or is it possible for non coders to adjust vbExperience? Eg the security token has been changed during one of the last vbulletin updates and it is pretty easy to solve this problem.

I am asking, because the new vbulletin version has social group improvements which are badly needed. I know that you have released a very fine mod called social forums, which is even better in terms of social group messages, but it probably won' t get updated to vb 3.8.

Thank you!

You can use the CDP Interface to collect data on your own, f.e. just for some forums.

Yes, in conjunction with usergroups.

Use the default way for settings (AdminCP/Settings)

Thanks. I changed xperience_earn_postrate to xperience_earn_post to create a valid hook. 3.7.18 will include this addon.


You will have to increase the version of the code
<code version="1.0.0"> -> <code version="1.0.1">, or just simply do a <code version="*"> to execute it on every install.

It should be avoided to change the fieldname. But if you change it, you will have to change possibly created awards on your own. Just go to awards, select new field and save.


Beta 3 will already be adapted to 3.8 Beta 1.

Anyone know if you can just remove the Activity bar in the postbit?

You will need to remove it from the template "xperience_gfx".

Thank you Phalynx

Perhaps you have a solution?

Love the mod. I have one request. I don't like having the mini award show up next to the username in the postbit. I attempted to grab the code that goes there from the templates and insert it into my postbit directly at my preferred location however it doesn't work. It gives me a dead image. I viewed the image path and its not including the end of the image name.gif

What is the bit i can put in my postbit to have the award appear other than using the settings? I need to actually code if that is possible.

Thanks,
