Excellent stuff Phalynx. I'm loving it.

In the final version it seems you'll have to fix the option that allows the admin to change the number of items displayed in the post bit because when you change the limit it does not affect the number of items displayed.

Other than that, everything seems to be working fine.

Maybe that is your problem: You will have to set the order to a number higher than 0 so show the award.

Great! I will do the change on the hook in next beta. Beta 3 will be released on monday.

You are using an outdated language file. I will update that file with Beta 3.

That is right. Currently it is fixed to max 5 items, regardless of the setting.


I'm just curious - who has started already to fill the shop? Who is willing to show me what he has done? :) I would be glad to see that in action - you can also PM me with your URL.

I downloaded and installed vbExperience thinking I would be able to use it for a very simple purpose:
Only distribute 'experience' points when a user receives a thanks
After a user has reached a certain amount of 'experience' points their level also increases.
Level 1 = A pre-defined usergroup I already use
Level 2 = A pre-defined different usergroup I already use
Level 3 = A pre-defined different usergroup I also already use

And nothing other than that. However - I am really scared to use the promotion system because it wreaks havoc on my usergroups (as I know you warn me about) that I have no idea how to prevent and already had to restore a previous version of my board and re-do everything.

I can't figure out how to control the promotions or to make it so that it's just in the simple scenario way that I want it.

Just do a simply trick: Assign your existing usergroups (Admin, Mod) as a secondary group, so vBExperience can assign primary usergroup with additional permissions.

I cannot figure out how to (properly) assign my existing usergroups as secondary usergroups...

The last time I tried activation the 'promotions' - it not only removed admin access from the two admins of the forum and made them 'registered users', it also moved over everyone from another custom usergroup I had (about 15,000 members) to 'registered users' as well.

Could you please explain to me how I can properly set the primary/secondary usergroups so that this doesn't happen....

As I already said:
Primary Group: Registered
Secondary: Admin

Have tried adding items.

Created a category. OK
Created an item, assigned it thumb , main image, id,qty,costs,costfield,

Saved

Created 2nd item, for same category, as above, and changed id to 2

First item, cat id 1 2nd item cat id 2

Saved.

Now I have 2 items, with (pos. ) < nothing in there, presumably this should read pos.catid

The 2 items, are both the same, ie, being the last updated shop item added.

Any suggestions what are we doing wrong.?

Ozzy

Now when we try to purchase an item we get fatal error.

Fatal error: Class 'xPerience' not found in /home/******/public_html/forum/xperience.php on line 167

Any suggestions please

EDIT: strike that, reimported and installed entire product.

SWEET !

I already applied the change to my files earlier and test it out some but I didnt get to finish my arcade addon yet due to getting tired.

some reason the bars wont show up on my forum, like the experience bar and something else, i only see text, anyone able to help?

@C138 Kaysone:

Upload images into the "misc" folders of each of the styles you use.

Hide bars in Postbit? Set to "no".
Width of the bars: Set to some #% or #px (where # is a number).

I created an item that deducted 50 activity points and used it on myself. Now my activity is constantly at 50%. Suppose I were to create an item that added 50 activity points, would this spell be undone? Lol!

Marius just a question: if i wanna change my level i must uninstall the default then install the bigger/new level?

Updated: Thanks!

excellent one
thanks for sharing.

clicked install.

I have one question
when modefyin my usergroups (administrator) from primeary group to seconderay group and make registered as primary, I get this message

I could not change.

can I have an idea how to do that. I am planning to use promotion system and this prevent me.

best regards

Marked and Installed! Works Great!

Same error in product_vbexperience3714.xml upgrading.

What EXACTLY is wrong in your eyes? I don't understand what your problem is.

Just import a new level. Remember to recount afterwards.

That's strange, on my board it works. Are you sure you assigned the second group in the same step as you deselect the primary group?

Uninstall, Install again.

I am extremely impressed, thats really all I have to say.

Great mod, however in the shop, a member has accidentally bought 2 items.
Now they have negative credit, how do we reimburse them.

We are using postcount for the credits

I am sure I assigned the second group in the same step as I deselect the primary group.

I repeated the steps again but no success.
I did below actions:
-stoped all mods
-cleared undeletableuser in config.php

and still no success.
I read an earlier post in this thread have same problem but no solution yet.

excellent mod, unfurtunetly can not have all benefts!

Hi, I'm new to translate VB tings - so if I like to translate this mod how do I do that. Thansk.

and overwrite the previous?

however i think in the next version of this great mod if possible you can add a dropdown or whatever you want about the levels, so an Admin can choose the lever that he wants to use ... :)

I had changed my product-xp_upon.xml and set the promotionsystem to yes, but the user, that should promote to another usergroup hadn't.
What did I do wrong?

And is there a german translation?

I have 60000 Members , 7K Threads and 36K posts...Which Level should I use???
Thanks.

maybe level 7?

Phalynx I really need your help :(

I uploaded all the files, then I imported product_vbexperience3714.xml

It showed that it was installing it, but then the screen went white. My site and adminCP arent working anymore *cries*

I'm using vB 3.7.0

Of course overwrite.
Dropdown would be cool, but this is much work to do.


Only for 3.7.12, check extras folder

That depends on many other things than posts. Just import a level, recount and see the rankings. If you see too much people around level 90 or even 100, take a smaller one. And counterwards...


Disable hooks via config.php (use search!) and try to import again. I have no clue what could go wrong.

Check transactionlog and delete both transactions.

You will have to translate language XML via Editor or just the strings in phrase editor.

How can I promote user to another level? You hadn't tell me anything about my question :(

This has been asked so many times... Things you will have to take a look in are the XLS Sheets or the level XML files.

Thanks Marius for the answer, so just the latest Q: right now i've changed the points that a user can give (i mean point for threads, tags, posts etc) so if import a new level it resets all my custom points?

I changed the level xml correctly (last number for the UsergrouID -> set correct), but nothing happens.
Even after the levelupdate

It seems to be impossible to delete from the transaction log. Any clue as to why?

We do not get a delete radio button or anything to delete a transaction, must this be done manually, and then FTP?

Or have we got a minor bug?

We have costfield, then last column, is delete, but totally blank.

Thanks for any help.

No, it will not destroy your custom points.

Promotion system enabled?

It's a Bug in the Beta, will be fixed in next version.

I just updated the installation to Beta 3.
Beta 3 is mainly a bugfix-release, no new features. But I included already final language XML files (english, german), a PHP script for removing vBExperience completly (including custom points and Shop) and also a working version of the new "Custom Data Provider"-Interface.

If there is no show-stopper I will release the final version tomorrow. Please use the time to check if vBExperience is running well on your forum.

so we need to overwrite only the product marius?

You will have to do a full upgrade by copying PHP files to server AND importing changed XML.

Bug - At least I think so. If you look at the tab vBexperience and look at "Points for posts" you'll see that the Sum and the Posts numbers are equal. I put in "10" for each post so the points for posts should be ten times the actual number of posts. Instead they are both equivalent.

To get support, you will need to click "Mark as Installed".

Did you run a recount after changing values in AdminCP?
