Sometimes users are asking why they have been losing certain amounts of Expirience-points, which they notice at the Activities page. When I take a look at the Point-settings in the ACP, the only thing set for subtracting points is the Infration parameter. The users losing points hasn't been given any infractions. Could anybody please explain this. My only guess so far, is that is has to do with the amount of time they spend online?

Is there someone who using the promotion system? If tried to get it running but no one gets a promotin to a new group :(

Tried this but i didnt work:

Using Check Version in the admin CP, it still says I'm using 3.8.4, when I just imported the latest product.

Is that right?

Yeah, no problem.
Go to your xperience page and you'll see the correct version at the bottom.
Regards :)

Here Also... 3.8.4. not 3.8.4.1. :confused:

The Experience Points are only recalculated if the user is logging into vBulletin or ist doing a post. It's not triggered by a chat application...


Please upload the functions_xperience.php and re-import the product xml. It seems you imported the product with the old functions_xperience.php and therefore it did not update the tables.

You will have to enter the board into the exclusion list of vBExperience


Sounds great, but will not be included soon.

Yes, Achievements are already in work as they will come with 3.8.5

Activity does NOT take the average posts per day, as this is not a value that says if a user is very active. It depends just how long and how many posts the user has written in the past, but not in the last days.

You should check how long the timeframe for the activity is, increase or decrease it and test the result via recount activity.

I even don't know that modification, but I assume it is using the same hooks.

Thanks for this help to the user.

That was the problem. In the readme for uninstall is written that you have to uninstall it first by removing the product.


Losing points can be caused by deleted posts/threads/discussions, removed buddies/friends, threads that are not pinned anymore, etc...
Also if you have RadioActivity installed, it is removing points...


Yes, I know some boards who are using this actively. Also, the Inside SupCom Demoboard is using it.

Yes, as the version of the XML did not change.

Overwrite the xperience.php if you want the version number, but it is not needed as the fix for 3.8.4.1 is in the class_xperience.php

Yes. And It is working on TripDealers.org too :)

It is hard to understand at the beginning how to make it work ... but readme.thx modifications will be done soone to help all out.

:)

Another thing concerning the readme.txt

Add the links to mods/hack that are being supported by vBeXperience.

It will give a chance to expand the vBeXperience hack to its maximum potential faster and it would avoid the confusions during the expanding process.

Example: Readme.txt


Additionally there is support for 3rd party addons (some are already installed):
.
.
.
.
.
.
- ibProArcade Highscorer Points (via CDP Addon)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=arcade
.
.
.
.
- Post Thank You / Use of Post Thank You (via CDP Addon)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...Post+Thank+You

Q: is the last one I gave is correct one, meaning this one is being supported by vBeXperience ? <<- this is what I ment by being confused in expanding process :).

Name of the hack small/big letters, my vote is:


There is different naming being used in different files/forums etc.
There should be one name, since this might be one of the best hack ever...
Think about it :)

And THX again for great HACK!
Support is also unbelievable !!!

Sounds nice, but this would mean to keep all links updated, also during updates. Too much work for me.



Some users are naming that product like they want. It has been called earlier "xPerience", but I named it with a more vBulletin touch "vBExperience".

In the readme file there is a line saying that i have to turn off the vbulletin promotion mod. Where can i turn it off? I cant find it.

Dont know if thats the problem why my promotion stuff didnt work.

No, it says:
This will replace the internal vB promotions. If you enable this system, make sure that you delete any promotions that could collide with Experience. Also, take care that the promotions are overwritten the primary group of every user.

Nah... all the hacks has one supporting site (main one)... once You give direction for the link everybody will be able to track the supported hack by them-self, no need to update.
The problem is that some of the hacks are difficult to target, once targeted there will be no problem.

There is lots of people who can support You in doing things. (updating readme.txt etc.)

-----------------------------

If You really think that links might be a problem, my idea is that we can add coder name at least
ex.:
- ibProArcade Highscorer Points (via CDP Addon) Origin Hack by MrZeropage --- will be enough to target the proper hack.

I have suggestion for You nick also


since You R c0d3R and h4ckZ0R (joke)
:p

Meaning:

-Create new User Groups
-Add new ranks to the proper groups (original vb promotions are based on post count, so add new ranks with Minimum Posts 0 --- will not create problems with the vBeXperience promotion system.
-update(edit) ex.: vbexperience_level_2_average.xml with the proper usergroupid values (from the new groups that you have created)

-import new(updated by You) vbexperience_level_2_average.xml

DONE

Enabling internal promotion system of vBeXperience will promote users to usergroups based on eXperience level (values) from now.

See Also
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1013

for details of editing and rules of doing such.

Yes, naming the coder would be good.

Maybe, but why nobody is helping me then? I asked already multiple times for such a help, since the first version of vBExperience in 2006. Nobody (zero, null) said he would help me. So I doubt it also this time.

ISSUE1
OK. Help me to identify all for first time I will update the readme.txt for You.

ISSUE2
Do not /dev nuLL me!

PM me with the infos about ISSUE1, i will extract the support informations and will do the update the readme.txt and others if necessary and will send you back to be implemented.
I will use as a basis the ones from vBExperience_3841.zip

Why dont you put it in your main post. In red so everyone see it :)

And im still busy translating to dutch. Damn allot of text to translate :P Gonna translate the readme to.

Greetings Marius, I was wondering if you are still going to add the ability to have shop items link to actual downloads. If memory serves you said it might be released in 3.8.4 version, but I see it didn't make it in that time around. I would like very much to be able to use your mod on our Skin site but we really need linked items before I can install this, is there a real estimation of when you might include the items being able to link to download files?

Welcome back Phalynx

Waiting for your Translation :) In normal case the language file is enough.

Yes, it is still on my todo list. For 3.8.5 there will be reworked User promotion system, additionally achievement (which are almost finished) and also the linkable items. As to the linked items we need to talk seperatly via PM.

Thanks :)

Hello Phalynx, I wanted to know why did you decided to put xperience folder in root.

Because its containing just images, wouldn't it had been better to put it like images/xperience/ ?

Thanks

It was already there and confused many user. Read a little in the past...

Also, this folder will contain in the future plugins/addons and other stuff.

PM sent Marius.

Tanx Phalynx.
I updated to 3.8.4.1 from 3.7.17.
but when I enable "Use the activities" in Settings, in members profile pages, I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function GetActivityAll() in /home/XXX/public_html/forum/member.php(463) : eval()'d code on line 206

I uploded files completely.
plz help me, tnx.

Hmm..I did everything you said still doesn't seem to be showing up the % on the xperience page but it's fine, no biggie, it still shows it on the post bit, so that is fine. I'll wait till the next update. Thanks tho!

Ouch !, same here.
Any way, I don't use activities.

I did this but no one gets a promotion.

Usergroup: WannaBe Member* (test usergroup. Same rights as registerd member)
Usergroup id: 62
Use the promotion system? Yes
Promotions: check picture.

thanks for the hack...is there any fuction as to when an award is given it e-mails member directly? or is this already an option?

thanks

Thanks for the earlier clarification Phalynx. :)

I have a small feature request, if possible: what do you think of a "discard" option for items, both purchased and received as a gift? That way, people can get rid of the things they buy even if the "Sell item back to shop" option is disabled. This would also provide a way for users to discard items that were gifted to them. Currently, they are stuck with the items they've been given, which can be a nuisance.

On a slightly related note, what do you think about allowing us to enable the "Sell item back to shop" option per shop item? Maybe have a checkbox next to each item listing in the "Edit Items" view which would enable or disable the "Sell item back to shop" option per each item. Along with this should be a checkbox at the very top of the column which would enable or disable all items in a category, making it easy to switch on and off entire categories.

hi . i hawe problem with mod... my level is not rising . always 99% and need to another lwl 0 points .. pls help

yes, we have the SAME issues

VBexp:3.8.41
VB: 3.8.0

feature request

please put a "sarch" function on

http://abc.com/forum/xperience.php

We have 100,000 members, it is hard to click "next page" all the time to look up someone's level

thanks

Fixed in 3.8.4.2, which will be released in few minutes.

Very strange. Cannot reproduce it here.

I see a promotion screen from the vBulletin Promotions. This will not work with it.

Great, looking forward to it.

It's already on my todo list.

The shop gift's will be reworked in one of the next bigger version, I will also include some new options for this.


Did you imported a level xml?

It is already there, take a look at the right side.

There is an bugfix release of vBExperience available:

3.8.4.2, 19th August 2009
- Fixed GetActivityAll() on Profiles

3.8.4.1, 14th August 2009
- Fixed issues with low/high activity
- Improved speed by recounting activity
- Included french translation by mitch84 - thanks!

thanks for fix of 3.8.4.2, do we need to upload ALL files or some files only? if so, which are them? thanks

If you upgraded from 3.8.4.1, you need only to re-import the product xml. Upgrade from 3.8.4 needs also the class_xperience.php
If you want to show the version number, upload also xperience.php

yeshoward, you will need to click "Mark as Installed", thanks.

ooowww thanks guys very update :)

Thanks for updated
