So Many Users Stuck at zero %?

I have some users with less points who are at 99% and other users with higer points who are at 0%. So please anyone explain to me why the heck gives here???

I have level 1 installed because my board is under 500 members.

So why dont we see members on my site at any other % like 4% 30% or anything!

Are we really all sure this product actually works?

I will provide login info for the developer if you could help check out my settings pleased. I need this sorted out and fixed ASAP please.

Here is a screen shot. Some please explain whats wrong! It seems the activity calculator in this mod is just a huge bug or broke!

I have Level 1 installed. I tried Level 2 and 3. Each time I did recount and cleared my cache to see any changes. Again the Activity % seems just wrong! 0% 99% or 100% and no other % in between!? NO WAY!

did you do a recount ? After you you change the level you have to do a recount.

Or just wait a day. The addon will do it by him self.

Yes of course I did a recount. I am sorry but a recount is not the cure all answer everyone likes to throw around this forum!

I solved my problem by adjusting the point system which really needs to be customized per forum. Once I changes those settings to mirror how my site is used everything corrected itself and the %s now are calculated correctly. 2PT for posting a thread and 1Pt for a blog really!!! COME ON!!!

Many people who have problems need to spend the time adjusting the points settings. :up:

Now again I need the experience bars in the blogs by avatars and waiting for vb4 and a major update to this mod to be released is too long of a wait.

So is there anyone who can help with the edits to get that to work? Maybe if we had a realistic update ETA that would be helpful for me.

Also, everyone that uses the Shop it would be helpful if you post your item graphics and categories here. I was seriously disappointed with this mod after turning on the Shop to see zero default info preloaded. :(

You can allso us this shop mod. It doenst work with experience.

Problem Adding New Awards

I just added a new award for Discussion Ender. After doing all the required recounts, one member shows in Awards having receive this new award.... HOWEVER: On their profile the award is not shown under the experience tab nor the award graphic? Also, the new award is not shown under Ranking next to their username.

What is wrong?

Is the award system broke in this release or what? and if one fool replies and tell me to do a recount I am going to VOMIT all over them!

Let's dig deeper:

1. When you add a new award it has first listed: Unique identificatorGraphics are included with this: award_IDENTIFICATOR.gif - don't use same identificator twice!
Well ok this AINT clear at all as to what goes in this field. Please explin to me why the identifier has anything to do with a gif image in the instructions listed under it!

QUESTION: What goes in the identifier field? Anything we want? Or do the identifiers need to match the type of extra we have installed for instance 'Discussion Ender"?

2. On all the default awards there is no path to any images yet the awards show images! WTF!!!?

3. How about some REAL instruction on how to add awards of our own if this feature actually works at all please!

THANKS!

New Award Problem Solved!

Thanks for finding this! That solved my problem as well. Umm sorry this mod is awesome but the documentation/phrases SUCK!!!

So to be clear: The name of the identifier has to be part of the image file name for it to show in the postbit or in profiles. Example: award_discussion_ender_nail.png The identifier for this must be: discussion_ender_nail. You can leave the "Path to Award-Image" field blank. WEIRD! MISLEADING!

I will be re-phrasing all the fields in the "Manage Awards" settings on this mod so that clear English is used!

WOW what a waste of time! Please for the love of god spend the time and improve the phrases used in the vb4 release! :up:

Oh yea makes sense to me that you don't even need to put in a URl to an image but the identifier does that for you. HOHUM!

not working for me I'm going to rename the image the same as the award itself also and test that so everything is same

EDIT Everything must be lower case and all match it seems at the moments Thanks worked great

IMAGES MUST BE gif format as well

I did a recount prior to seeing this

Did you uploaded files first and afterwards reimported the product XML?

Hi, the language file is updated?

Thanks for the update. No problems here :)

But one question.

Do i need to upload all the addons again? Or do the still work?

I mean the "arm_of_law" and all the other things you can add to experience.

Hi,

no, as this is a Beta. I will update the language files for the RC.

No, you don't need to do that.

ok thanks

I wanna translate it to dutch but i need to know something.

I need to us this file "vbulletin-language-english-383 - Use this as a reference for own translations" But do i need to translate everthing what is engels.

<phrase name="xperience_admin_awards_none" date="1231346464" username="Phalynx" version="3.8.0"><![CDATA[No Awards. Re-Import the product to create default Awards.]]></phrase>

The text in red need to be translated to dutch?

Hi, and thanks for that speedy reply. IN fact, thanks also for my forum member's favorite mod!

yes I followed the instructions to the letter.

What if I removed it completely then installed the beta? Is it as simple as uninstalling it through the product mangement or is there something special I'd need to do?

I don't want to do it this way because I'll lose my edits and shop 'stuff'. this really isn't a huge problem, i mean the awards show, but I'm a stickler for errors and logs lol so i want to resolve it.

Yes, you are right.

If you remove it through the product management no real data will get loss. You will to do a recount after that, to have the points addedd to the users. Shop items and awards are not removed with it.

Hey phalynx i think you did something wrong. After installing the new update i get this database error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM vb_post_thanks AS post_thanks INNER JOIN vb_user AS user USING (userid) WHERE post_thanks.postid IN (0,15946) ORDER BY post_thanks.username ASC;

Request Date : Monday, July 27th 2009 @ 06:26:35 PM
Error Date : Monday, July 27th 2009 @ 06:26:35 PM

Im using the addon:

vBExperience - Post Thank You Hack Integration

When i turn the thanks an groan addon off it stops.

When i try to look at a topic it give the database error.

Dutch Boy I don't think I did something wrong. I cannot see that vBExperience is involved in that query you posted. vBExperience and also that post hack integration is not using such a query.

But the last thing i did on the forum is upload your beta mod :S Strange !

That error disappears when you do what ... ?

When i try to uninstall "vBExperience - Post Thank You Hack Integration" i get this database error.

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.3:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE vb_xperience_stats DROP points_post_thanks_used BIGINT DEFAULT '0';

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'BIGINT DEFAULT '0'' at line 1
Error Number : 1064

It disappears when i turn the mods offline. I need to turn them both offline or i still get the error.

But i just reinstallad them both. Removed them completle but that didnt work :(

That does not happen with the version included in vBExperience 3.8.4.
Please install the version delivered with 3.8.4 and uninstall it after that.

Yep your right. Installed the new version and i removed it. But i still got the same problem.

Ill remove the thanks mod again.

But first i have to do some other things. Back in a few hours. (Around 20:00 dutch time)

Ow got another database error and experience got something to do with it.

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT
u.userid,
points_post_thanks_got_total
AS get_count
FROM vb_xperience_stats as s
LEFT JOIN vb_user as u ON u.userid = s.userid
WHERE 1 = 1 AND NOT (1=2 OR u.usergroupid = '6' OR FIND_IN_SET(6, u.membergroupids))
ORDER BY get_count DESC, points_xperience DESC
LIMIT 0,1;

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

As you removed that post thanks integration, you need also to remove that fields manually from awards you created.

Hi, when i go to purchase an item from the shop, i get the following error message:

This is a great mod, and i would like to get it running perfectly if possible. Thanks in advance.

I cant remove them because i get a database error.

Im trying to remove experience but i dont know how. Allready uploaded the kill file but i dont know how it works. Can you tell me plz.

Edit:

Hmm i think it does it by him self :P Cant find the experience drop down menu in admin panel.

Edit:

It didnt remove the product it self. And when i try to uninstall it i get this:

for a complete kill use ZIP\extras\Remove vBExperience\upload_via_ftp\admincp\kill_xperience .php

What in gods name did this beta version do to the nice awards page! Turned it into a simple junk list????

HELLO! What gives? Are you kidding? And you failed to mention that the awards are now striped to a simple list? I busted my A$$ typing in descriptions to my awards! Now they done show. Please tell me there is a setting to expand this???

Sorry but this update for awards at least is a serious design step back! How can i get my old awards page back asap please!

HAHAAH SORRY I got my awards page back! DOh just a simple settings page. Sorry for becoming UNHINGED in public. You made me nervious!

LOL

Loven the new give points away!

PROBLEM 1: Photopost Pro Database Error

I imported the new xml file for adding Photopost Pro. Your XML file has the wrong table prefix so a database error is created when doing a recount.

When I tried to do a recount of: Update Experience Points I get the following database error because the table prefix in the xml fle is: pp6.

MySQL Error : Table 'xxxxxxxxx.pp6_photos' doesn't exist

SOLUTION:
Edit the photopost_pro.xml file. On line #50 change: FROM pp6_photos to your Photopost Pro table prefix which is usually just pp_ without the 6. This solves the database issue when performing a recount after this product is installed.


Problem 2: Ranking Pagination Breaks Layout
On the ranking page the pagination is a big problem the numbers go way way off the right side of the page! This update didn't fix this it really broke it!

SOLUTION:
Pending??? (See Screenshot)

I have a problem with the statistics page. I have done both recounts yet the page shows 39,025 pages of stats when the last members with stats are listed on page 37. The rest are empty.

http://diecastcrazy.com/community/xp...rname=&page=37

At least your pages aren't breaking your theme! LOL WOW I have 600 plus pages and only a few hundred members.... yea there is a bug or two in the 3.8.4 beta release which I am sure the developer is already working on fixing.... RIGHT! LOL

I switched themes and lost the links. How do I get it back? Will reuploading the xml fix it?

TIA

Cannot reproduce this. You simply purchased the item?

Executing the kill_experience.php you will lose ALL DATA incl. Awards, Shop Items and purchases.


Please CALM DOWN a bit. If you would read the changelog, you would know that ("- Awards: New Awardlisting. You can choose whether this or the old style legacy blockwise Awardlisting.")
Also, in the new list style there are also descriptions. So why making here such a flurry?


My installation has pp6_ as prefix. Did you changed that for yourself?




Fixed in next Beta.

Your themes must support template hooks. Please compare to the original vBulletin templates.
