Thanks for this.... i'd like to make a little request if I may.

Can an option be added to disable the giving of gifts so this can be used just as a credit system which my users can use to buy credits via paypal only?

I run a photography community and I want to use this for a new photo challenge feature but the only part of it I need is the credit buying piece....

If not, no worries.. anyone else know if of any other mods that will do just the above... allow members to pay for credits.. all I need is credit integer value in the db so I can integrate with my own photo challenge system.

Thanks.

I noticed there is no way to disable the credit system.

Am I missing something?

You have to configure usergroup permissions for each usergroup. Sorry about that, I did not outline that in the directions.

Okay, noted. This will be ready for a future release (hopefully the next one).

Certainly. Marked for future release.

Yeah, you can't (yet). This is code nearly directly from a client, so the system is setup just for that client's needs. This first release was moreover for a technology preview so that everyone knew that this project was not dead. This will be in there for sure in the next release.

The next release should be released by the end of the week, just so everyone has an idea.

I can see this as mod of the month once all these cool ideas are implemented.

Thanks Cole!!!!

Can I suggest members get

1 free gift every 100 posts.
1 free gift every 100 photos uploaded to their albums.
1 free gift on their birthday.

(option to turn these 2 on and off in the admin cp)

Certainly, albeit it will be one credit every 100 posts instead, so to speak, since credits are the primary way of buying gifts.

Fantastic, i'll start to integrate this in with my photo challenge system right now. Thank you so much for taking on my request, it's extremelly appreciated.

Great mod and thank you for your work.:D

Click on the user name PHOENIX profile to see how it's displayed. (thats me) lol

Some notes:

Even though I uploaded everything in it's place. I had to use the add new gift function so the mod would see the gifts that originally came with the mod.

For those that have dark forums be prepared to edit your gifts in photo shop so you don't have the white background.

On pm notification: A image of the gift is not displayed, just the name of the gift.

When performing mass credit to user groups the credits are not deducted as gifts are sent. Unless I missed a setting which is most likely the issue :o

This is a fantastic start for a great mod addition.... Again thank you so much for your work!!!!:up:

As I make gifts I will help make them available to help pay this forward:)

Thats cool, just maybe in the notification pm they get when it happens if the phrase can say something like

"Congrats you've received a free $1 credit based on your forum activity so you can buy someone a gift, Enjoy!"

Here are some gifts for peeps to use, enjoy :)
