Since the style author doesn't seem to be providing support, I was wondering how I can compare and where I should look to determine why experience menu is not showing up when I 'Enable link in navbar' and 'Enable link in quicklinks'.

Support seems a bit slow for this hack???

Nope, Phalynx aswers pretty fast, of course he has to sleep a lil bit, he is human :)
Thnx Phalynx for your great support and mod.

Regards.

This mod uses template hooks like most other mods.

You need to search for the following lines of code and compare their places in the Navbar Template in the Vbulletin default style to your installed custom Style Navbar Template and make sure that they are in their.

Decrease the number of users that are calculated at once from 250 to f.e. 100

Activity has absolutly nothing to do with the level. What do you mean with "always"? Every day? Maybe because the new mechanism "Include User's last activity date" is enabled? Try to disable it and to a recount on Activity (not Points!)


Thanks for helping out :)


I'm so sorry, I have to sleep a little bit. Really sorry for your impatience....

Thanks :)

phalynx found the problem!

AWCoding- Donation System LITE for vBExperience

That mod causes the recount database error.

Now i hope everything wil run without problems :)

is there a way to "buy" user priviledges?

say like, username coloring, customiz usertitle, or buy customize signature priviledge in shop?

basically, buy user priviledges or features that are normal not avaliable to them from their Usergroup.

Edit [Add]: Oh BTW! Does vBExp still support Bills PayPal Donate Basic?
I do not see it on the 3rd party add-on support anymore.

Finally! Nice to hear.

No, this will come with a major update of the shop.

OK

First of all BIG THX for this great mod Mariusz!

Idea, plugin system and mostly your support is appreciated.

I wold like to sorry if I am making doubled issue.

I went through 40 pages of history of this post and found only questions about my problem.
The answer : read the readme files is not enough for me thou...

Problem (understanding how it works)

Promotion system if enable YES, how does it work?
How to make it possible to users changing ranks (pictures) with experience level ?
I have tried to:
-import modified vbexperience_level_2_average.xml changing usergroupid to custom group ids that I have created;
-add a rank image in user ranks for custom groups)

Am I going good direction? (as far as understanding the hack is concern)

problem is that I have members lets say on experience level 2... and I am refreshing and rebuilding everything that might lead to the users being promoted to the custom groups with no success...

Please help me out.
I will make ready to go manual to be implemented to Your readme for future generation people with the brain like me :)...

First of all, disable the vBulletin Promotions. Make also sure you'r Administrator Usergroup is on the excluded list, otherwise you will lose it.
2. Edit the level xml file. Take a look at that part:
The bold 2 is the usergroupid of the group the user will be switched to whenever he has at least 56 Experience points.

Another example:
The user will be switched to usergroup #3 when he has at least 600 Experience points.

The usergroupid 2 must be entered for every point/level statement up to the next level:
....
3. Import that level file
4. Recount



Yes, I need a native english speaker who takes a look at the readme's and re-writes it so it is more understandable :)

Ive tried this even 50 and still does the same thing, seems that when I run this my site stops responding for several minutes also

Is the experience point level stored in the user table? If so - what is the name it is stored as? I want to see if this is compatible with the new Gameroom mod. Thanks!

Eryeal I'm not for sure but, I think Experience doesn't include add on for Gameroom mod.
I just can see v3 and ibpro add ons.
Regards :)

Well, I mean:

If I did some adjustments at Xperience CP and after that I do a Recount, activity % always goes smaller
Example:

Some user has 46% Activity bar.
I do a recount.
When recounf finishes, now that user has 12% Activity bar.

Anyway, I'll try your advice.
Danke Sie ;)

Right there's no add-on, but the new Game Room includes the feature to specify where to draw currency from in the User Table. I actually just now found it for here - the user table name is xPerience. It is actually working at the moment - pulling the correct number of points as "cash" and saving any winnings or losses. I just don't know if after a cron run or recalculation I'm assuming the points won in the Game Room would be erased. I already made a suggestion for Game Room to have an add-on that fully supports VBExperience - that would be really nice.

Suggestion -

Have a PM option for when a user wins an award. Maybe even have a PM option for when a user loses an award as well.

Removed due to lack of support.

What do you want - a 24 hour 1-800 number or something? Phalynx provides great support. Sorry that it's not working for you like the rest of us - Phalanx is helping to solve your problems as well as others as you can see - he responds every single day. Your last message was one hour ago, and then you come on and say removed due to lack of support? You think people that program these mods don't have day jobs and just sit and wait for a message to come through?

Sorry for going off... I just feel that was an unnecessary post.

Yes I understand and give the coder of this mod massive props, Its just that I could not afford to sped anymore time trying on thing per day to resolve my issues. If I ever get a more complete response of things to check I may give it another try

I found one same problem.

When i hit on test in Manage Awards on an new made award that i dont us and not filld in i get this database error:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT
u.userid, u.username,

AS get_count
FROM vb_xperience_stats as s
INNER JOIN vb_user as u ON u.userid = s.userid
ORDER BY get_count DESC, points_xperience DESC
LIMIT 10;

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 'AS get_count
FROM vb_xperience_stats as s
INNER JOIN vb_user as u ON u' at line 4
Error Number : 1064

Just a small bug :)

I created a bunch of new awards finally and I only see the 3 "default" awards in the system from 3.8.3

Anyone know how to get new awards to show up?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I am an idiot. Put display to 0... :( sign...

Where were old awards images? I don't remember anc cannot find it... I have to find it to point it again... :/

Got it :) images/misc/level

Hello,

I upload all the files to my server, but when I go to install the XML it says:
Could anyone help me out please.

Thank you.

EDIT: Sorry, FireFTP was playing up and wasn't actually uploading the files in the correct places. Sorry to bother you all and thanks for this great add-on.

Great plug in here. I am still learning how to use it.

One of my users activity is at 99.9% mine is at 100% and everyone else is at 0 - what is the activity based on exactly because the user with 99.9% activity is only a level one with two posts and 71 points.

Also what are the awards based off of? What determines what award to give to who? I have been playing with this for the past few days and dont see where this is or if you can set it.

Also one suggestion - upload image button for the shop would be great. Having to go FTP and then put in the URL is kind of a long process to add a product to the shop.

Hi, I'm uncertain if this is fixed earlier in the pages, but please point me there if so,,,

I have only a few of the options showing as configuration panels when clicked on in the side bar of the acp.
ie the settings labeled:
Settings:
do not display - I get a blank right side main panel
but the others work fine....
I recall something like this with another mod but I cannot remember if it got fixed or what caused it...
Ring any bells?

BTW thank you for such a huge update - massive and most awesome mod!

Pretty nice, now everybody on my forum is 100% activity.
Oh my $&%$/$&%&)(/ God!!!

Experience Activity setts are:
Include User's posts YES
Include User's Blog entries and Blog comments NO
Include User's Visitor messages YES
Include User's Social Group messages YES
Include User's last activity date YES
Stupid PPD value is by default: 21
Other stupid PPD value is calculated daily by blah blah blah. ( I HAVE NOT CHANGED IT)

What the hell is wrong? :'(
I am tired, angry, sad... almost losing my mind

Jesus, I have uninstalled and re installed Exp 3.8.4 a lot of times and no good news :(
Experience 3.8.3 used to work fine... well, even 3.8.3 gives me terrible headaches now ... i don?t know what to do man, I REALLY don't want to uninstall it but oh God!, this mod is begging me to do it!!!

Recounts??, Man!!, If someone would give me a dollar for every recount I've done... I'd be millionaire

my forum www.seusers.com

Regards and sorry about my behavior.....I'm desperate
HELLp !!!!!!!!

I almost forget.
Maybe this is an issue.

If I sett only take user's post to activity like this:

Include User's posts YES
Include User's Blog entries and Blog comments NO
Include User's Visitor messages NO
Include User's Social Group messages NO
Include User's last activity date NO
Stupid PPD value is by default: 21
Other stupid PPD value is calculated daily by blah blah blah. ( I HAVE NOT CHANGED IT)

After that I do an activity recount. It showes:

My board:
VBulletin 3.8.2 ( yeah I know, must to update)
Level 7 installed.
Post thanx add on installed.
v3 arcade champions add on installed.
radioactivity add on installed.
More than 75,000 users.
Active users ~ 13,588

************* EDITED ****************
Me again, for one moment my activity was correct (20% I've been inactive these days)
Any way, If me or some other user post 1 message,the activity goes to 100%.

I think I'll be 20% again,maybe within a couple of hours, I guess.

Still got same setts:
Include User's posts YES
Include User's Blog entries and Blog comments NO
Include User's Visitor messages YES
Include User's Social Group messages YES
Include User's last activity date YES
Stupid PPD value is by default: 21
Other stupid PPD value is calculated daily by blah blah blah. ( I HAVE NOT CHANGED IT)

Regards !!!!.
I wont give up buddy, I love this MOD and I know you or God will give me the answer.... one day.

Das ist 2 Uhr 12 in diesem Augenblick. Ich bin schl?frig, gute Nacht ;)

Gameroom must store the points in the xperience_custompoints table, otherwise it get's overwritten by the cron.

Added to Todo-list. Maybe just a notification.

Removed support for you due to lack of "Installed" Flag.

Thanks. That's right, I'm not a computer and have also a real life. Because of this, I'm not able to give 24h Support. If someone is uninstalling after he gets few hours no response, good luck for him.

That is not a bug. You have not selected any field that the award should calcule with. Even if you assign an award manually, you need to select at least one field.


Run the activity cron and after that the recalculate activity.

It's based on the fields you select for every awards. All fields are summed together. User with highest value is getting the award. If you have enabled the new awardlisting, you can see the fields that were used for the calculation. Also, if you have the option enabled to limit the awards to max 1 for a user, the user is not getting it. The second, third, etc... user is getting it then.

Added to my Todo-List.

That is a known issue, but not with vBExperience, it's PHP:
- Settings are showing only a blank page, read here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...6979#note74140

Please PM me a temporary admin account so I can track that down.

I have a weird problem since I few days.

I have a selfmade usergroup since the beginning who have access to all the private forums.

A few days ago I did the gold update of vBExperience, and I also turned on the standard VB User Reputation system. Now my users from that private group always get demoted to registered users when they change there signature or add something in their profile fields.

On the promotions page of vBExperience, on the activities it says:
... demoted to Registered Users

I change them back to the private group but when they change something they get auto demoted again..

What is happening?
Thanks..

You have turned on the vBExperience Promotion System. The Users are promoted/demoted to other usergroups based on the levels defined in the level XML. Turn off vBExperience Promotionsystem or type the private usergroup as an exception into the settings.

Updated - another great product and just keeps getting better

Just reinstalled this after some time ago,.. much better. Thanks.

A suggestion,... on the points giveaway page.

The points giveaway would be better if it didnt list all point earning catagories possible. I think it should show only points that arent zero.

Primarily because I dont use alot of the mods that vBexperience is setup to give points for, so my members will never earn points in those categories.

But yes, a gread mod!

Great Idea, will be included in 3.8.5

Thank you, I think this will work.

This (The vBExperience Promotion system) will replace the internal vB promotions, it says somewhere in the settings.

But the internal VB Promotions, is this the User reputation manager?

So if I use the vBExperience Promotion System, I have to disable the original internal vB promotions/User reputation? Because this may interfere together? Am I correct or wrong?

Cuz those two names of promotion systems, the one you made & the original kinda confuses me, with those names.. :)

The internal promotionsystem of vBulletin can be reached via AdminCP, Usergroups, Promotions. Reputation has nothing to do with promotion.

Would it be possible to give points based on time spent in chat (flashchat), without having to manually assign custom points to active chat users? Also does days online count every day or only the ones they logged in on?

Does Flashchat store the online time in a database?

Days online is just counting the days since registered, because vBulletin does not store the information about when a user is online.

Not time online but it has sent messages and connections (like logins). Which would both work fine.

I just looked and it does not store either of the values forever... it deletes them after a day or so. Also to open chat you have to click on a forum link, so I guess if you could count "viewing" that forum more then other forums that would work.

No, forum redirects statistics are not stored into the database.
