P, I think a lot of us are confused about this. We don't really know what you mean by look in the cdp addon and such because there isnt really any guide telling you step by step what you should be looking for and what you need to be doing to create your own custom conditions. I'd love to use it, but without more guidance its really just a blur to me.

I never said using the CDP is easy. vBExperience offers a programmatically usable interface for such things. But there is currently no solution that is useable for users without the knowlegde of PHP and SQL Statements. It seems complex, but not for a programmer.
The time is the limiting factor. If I would have more time I could extend this by implementing an interface for users without programming something.

Thanks for the great mod!

I 've an issue after I upgraded to vbulletin 4.06 and Experience 4.02.
As you can see at the following picture, The total activity is up to 999%!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/08/2.jpg

What am I doing wrong?

Are you using a decimal seperator? It seems it is missing, so that 99,9 (or 99.9) results in 999.

No, mea culpa.
Thanks again.

We were having some issues on our system (latest vbulletin) and a few mods. Specifically the vBadvanced Links product. I finally threw my hands up and put in a support ticket and it seems as if they are saying that the Experience Code is causing some problems. The exact response is below. Are there any lnown issues relating to this or do we have a deeper problem? TKS for the assistance

Im using version 4.1.22 and vBulletin Version 4.0.0or does this not work with vb 4.0.0

I 've one more issue.

I can 't see awards in profile and next to username.
I' ve recalculate awards and also I gave some awards manually.
At the tab "Awards" (.../xperience.php?go=awards) I can see some awards given to users.
---
My forum has been turned off for several months (since February).
vBulletin 4.0.6 - vBExperience 4.0.2
Settings:
Use the award system? = "Yes"
Use Awards in rich username? = "Username Awards"

:D I hope he fixes it.

So, this is a bug.

What about the awards in user profile?

+1.
I 'm looking forward to the next version, 4.03, will fix that.

For executing a hook earlier you will have to change the source of vBulletin. The plugin that is using this hook does not modify any existing entries.
I don't know any issues with that.

They should work.

Any guess why they (awards in user profile) do not work?
Thanks in advance.

Please PM me the URL to your Board.

any news on this yet

I'm afraid it does not work. There are some incompatibilities to vBulletin 4.0.0

So this will work with all vb 4 version over 4.0.0

At least for 4.0.2 and higher.

well as you can see here im getting the error now on vb version 4.0.6

also getting this error as well

Achievements and Awards are not working with MySQL 4.1 - either you upgrade this too or you will have to disable both features.

thankyou im just getting the mysql upgraded and will let you know if there are any more problems once its done.

Good luck!

maybe you should put in the description that mysql version ? is required to use this script so you dont get questions like this again.

You are the third that is having a problem with that old MySQL version. I will include this in the readme.

On the other side, many people are not reading much...

I'm having some trouble getting it set up appropriately for my forums, so I need some assistance in what to do.

So in the admin CP, where you can edit the posts per day, posts per 7 days, etc., the first thing I tried to do was disable the scheduled task and put the information in myself. I also went based off individual users, so for instance I put in 5 posts per day, 20 posts per 7 days, and 40 per 30 days. I also set the timeframe for activity to 30 days. So, I recounted everything and it did not show up accurately for most people. Those who had only posted maybe 3 times in the last 7 days had 99% activity, and some people who had not even logged onto the forums or made a post in over a year had an overall activity of 99%. Also, after doing all of this and still having the scheduled task disabled, it automatically put in variables for posts per day when I thought that disabling the task would prevent it from doing this. This resulted in it automatically putting in like 92.3 for every calculation (92.3 posts per day, 7 days, and 30 days), which did not make sense to me.

Alternatively, I have tried to leave the scheduled task running and let it do it on its own, but I manually put in a 30 day timeframe for activity. The calclulations would change on their own, as expected, but it would make them too high, like I mentioned above with it having like 90 some posts per day in each time variable. And still, those who had not logged on would have percentages of activity that they should not have had.

So basically, I'm not getting an accurate reading on the activity levels. In my mind, users who have not logged in, made any posts, etc., within the set time frame, they should have a 0% activity level for everything. Seeing as how it auto-corrects to a higher number, I am thinking that maybe it goes by the entire forums posts per day, per 7 days, etc., but then it wouldn't make sense for the scheduled task to make all of these the same number of posts.

I would like to have an idea of how to set this up appropriately. There seems to be too many problems that I am having and I know the system works, its just that I do not fully understand how it works or how to make it work in the way that I am thinking it should. So any help on this would be greatly appreciated and the sooner the better. Thanks.

upgraded the mysql but beleave me it makes alot of problems with vb once the mysql is upgraded.
All the index's are out and you will need to run the mysql-schema.php file thats in the install folder to fix the index and then you will have to run the Repair / Optimize Tables to fix other problems or even re-install some products as well.

How long is your board running with vBExperience 4? Are you using activities? These are important questions, as the activitiy is being counted from the count of recorded actions in the given timeframe. The activity cannot be accurate by just using data from the last two weeks.

I would suggest to leave the system alone and wait until it finds the correct acitivity for everyone.

Yes, an upgrade is not just replacing the binaries.

but everything is working now with this add-on.

Thanks for your help.

I might be making an add-on for this for the signature maker i have made,
so if someone makes a signature it will give them some points or something but will re-move points if they re-do there signature within x amount of days.

That sounds great :)

Okay. That is fine. I can let it run on its own, I was just trying to avoid having to wait an entire month for it to work itself out, but its fine. What would you suggest to put as the general timeframe for activity?

I have found problems with IE6. Reviewing the template, I found the bug.

For the template of "xperience_memberinfo_block"

search


and replace with

That depends on your board activity. If you have much of it, you can decrease to f.e. 60, otherwise a 90 or even 120 should be good.


Are you sure? I cannot find this part (anymore). It has been already fixed with 4.0.2
Please install 4.0.2 and revert that template.

Can you explain to me what this error is about?

I only have 5 users, and it appears something is wrong with the award I created? I get this error now anytime I try to change an award, or recount, etc.

It appears to be from an Award that I created. I deleted the award and things are now working properly, but I would like to know what was 'wrong' with the award so I can avoid problems in the future.

I had called the Award "Brian's Award" And it appears that caused a problem.

Brian

Just remove the apostroph ' from the name.

Thank you for the prompt reply. It was what I suspected, thanks for the confirmation.

Brian

Ok, I've uploaded and updated vBExperience, and the problem is gone

It would be great if you click "Mark as Installed". Thanks.

This is just an information that I will be on vacation from today till 12th September. Please keep in mind that I will not give support during this time.

The update to vBExperience 4.0.3 will be released after I returned.
