string post ID to start at is missing

Respected Phalynx,
Greetings and Welcome,
I wish you receive this mail of me in the best of everything.

First of all many thanks for such a nice mod.

I wonder can you consider to add following requests:

Points Donation
My community greatly depends upon points donation and just for this I have to install another some what buggy mod along with your great mod. If you can add donate function it would be very nice. I am aware of gift function in shop but directly donating points is in fact more interesting.

Shop
I want my forum to be run on virtual money so even I want to charge for any service provided to them. Suppose someone wants to change his user name. I would place a product in shop and that person can purchase it and I would change his user name. Shop is doing great in doing this only thing missing is comments field from customer where she can make her request for example new name. If you can add this field then shop can be used for a lot of moderation and administration tasks.

I really appreciate your efforts in helping us,
Best Regards,
Eurosoft

can u tell us what files were updated from 3.8 to 3.8.1 ?

im burnt out on doing updates on all my vb plugins... maybe just a couple files changed ?

Strange, I was 100% sure I included this in the final release. Will fix it for next version.

I will think about it :)

That has been already asked several times. It would need to do many lines of code, so I'm not sure this will come in next time.

Just copy all files from ZIP/upload_via_ftp and import the XML. Nothing special. That is how all modifications have to be installed.
Another way of installing mods like with an Package Manager where you input only one file that will do all would be perfectly. We will see if Jelsoft is doing something like this for vBulletin 4.0

Thanks for the answer. So the floating numbers are actually counted as interger? Or they are counted as floating numbers and just saved as int, if so the convert function is ceil or floor or round? which consideration is correct?

Does it work with Xcache installed?

Sorry for so many questions:DAnother question is:you mentioned that "The system calculates the activity by taking the average post count of the ten most active user and comparing it to own post count", so how do you decide these ten user?

thanks I checked and now it works.

Why it is so important? Take a look for yourself at class_experience.php

I don't know. It is using the vBulletin API so I assume it *should* work.


By postcount in the last x days.

Thanks for sharing.

Installed!

I have been playing around with it and so far, its great!

One Suggestion -

When making a new award, we should have the option of giving that award to a specific group also.

Like group 6 (admins) will get a special award for being an admin. :)

Thanks for the great add on!

May I request that exclusion of usergroups from awards needs to be set per award. Otherwise you cant give awards to board staff for helpfulness, if they are excluded from awards ... It would give a lot more flexibility too ... like allowing new members to be given encouragement awards until they progress to the next promotion.

LOL. Looks like I missed the last post before mine :p We agree!

BUG:

I made an award for all admins (had to manually add them to the award) but for some reason it will not show the award for me. User account 1.

If i go back to the award edit screen, and i click save, it will show the award for a few minutes then it will go away.

I tested this on FF to make sure it wasnt a browser problem.

Any Suggestions?

May somebody tell me if this mod have any effect on performance or not? I am on a shared server with about 10000-30000 members, 300-1000 members online at the same time. I dont want to overload the shared server by increase unnecessary mods.

I installed this last night and Im a little lost as to the activity calculation even on reading the original post.. Please could you let me know if this is a big or whether I have calculated it incorrectly..

My top ten posters in the last 30 days are:

User Posts
Sarah 814
laura_3173 530
siberian_wolf 474
r1ch4rd 347
Dunc 312
stokie 206
lesley 164
Marc 144
bingnblaze 136
Alex T 135

This gives me an average of 326 ..... So surely Sarah (at the top of the list with 814) should have 100% however she doesn't, she has 99% .... Am I missing something?

I noticed very little change. Im on shared hosting also so i have to be careful also. You should be safe with this mod. It doesnt run constantly so your server load is minimal.

Mine said 0% the first day. Now, it is working. It must have something to do with it populating the info but dont ask me how. All i know is its working now. :)

I have to say,

...the stupidist un-install method ever.

These guys program for months to produce modifications for our forums free of charge working for nothing. I'm sure it doesnt take you months to uninstall. Its not stupid, its just different that your personal preference

For admins you can set manually a specific award.

Yes, awards bound to promotions would be a great addition. I will think about it for the next bigger version.

Did you generated awards after saving them?

Cannot confirm this. Where exactly does this happen?

Depends on your hardware. There are board with for example 320000 users running this mod without side effects. Read the file "readme_optimization.txt"

Who has the 100%?

You mean with the kill file? You know what is stupid? Losing all awards, statistics, shop items and categories only because of a reinstall. I could move all uninstalls into the product xml, but the user would lost everything doing an upgrade. THAT would be stupid.

vBExperience is not a little addition, it is a major addition that needs some time to set and to tweak.

Thanks for your support.

Hi

This one is installed. Many thanks! I've also a little question:

Is there a way of recounting the activity module or do I have to wait the number of days specified in the field?
And where do I adjust the location of the awards in the postbit?

Kind regards

Terminot

Nobody seems to have 100% ..... Everyone seems to get to 99% and thats the highest it seems to get .. My winner of the activity award also has 99%. Staff are not included in the awards but there are only 3 of us

My comments are in red...

My shop items are not shown at the postbits, i've tried every setting. How can i fix this? The bars are working fine.

uninstalled, took out nomination.

To phalanx...
Ignore the people who say silly things ... you have done a great job on the mod. I trust that you will improve things like you have in the past ... your work is appreciated!

To a small number of people ... when you accept free work like these mods, you enter into a kind of contract to WORK WITH the developer to make it better. It is not like paying $2000 for a program and expecting it to do what you paid for ... you are an active participant in the development. Give phalanx the information needed to improve/fix things and it helps you and others.

Great! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
The only thing I am afraid of using this mod is that this mod is not really flexible. I just want a score system with possibility to give user purchase paid subscription by points they earned. The others should be disabled due to impact on server load/system performance. I know other people want different things on this mod. That's why I will be much much better if user can choose what they want to enable and what they want to disable.
By the way, never forget the impact on server load because many people must take care of it very much!
Thank you very much for your great work you have done in this mod.

You can execute either the Activity Cron or just do a complete recount. Activity is beeing calculated once a night, and it's counting only posts from the days you specified.

Settings, vBExperience Awards

I will think about it.

Please PM me a temporary admin account.

Do you have a regular unmodified postbit? Does it work on the default style?

Do you have a reason for this? Your last post was "thanks I checked and now it works."

Thank you both for your backing, I appreciate it.

The score system is the core, many things can be disabled via options. Please tell me what you need to be disabled.

First of all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I want a score system that score (or value) user's activities on my forums. Each user will have a certain point according to how active he is in my forums. I want to give all user permission to purchase paid subscriptions by point they earned. All the other features should be disable to reduce server load. By the way, how heavy your mod is?

I havent used that hack at all, so I wonder if its possible that User can donate Points to other Users?

Hi friends,
Awards are not showing up on my site for the users. Do I have to assign them manually for each user from Vbulletin backend?? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for this,, really appreciate ur time taken,

CHeers

How do you calculate the activity? Can you give me the exact sumarize? That would be nice!

No nothing against you, just found a better system :)

thanks though.

I was more looking of a points system instead of an experience system.

May you share with me (and everybody also) about the system? I am looking for the point system too...

vBExperience is PRIMARY an point system which shows also the activity.

Disable all points other than activity by setting it's value to 0 via options/settings.

Depends on your machine and your traffic :)


Currently not.

Did you recalculated once after installation? Does "Generate Awards" from within "Manage Awards" work?

See description:

1. I think set the values to 0 will disable point system. What I want is keep the point system to give points for users when they do activities in my forums and when they have certain point, they can use their points to purchase Paid Subscriptions. Can users purchase Paid Subscriptions using their points in your current version?

2. I will have 5k-30K members, 100-300 members online at the same time. Will it be heavy?

I don't understand. You want to disable all other than activity, but here you are telling me you need it. You cannot disable more, as there is no more which can be disabled.
Please tell me what exactly you will need to disable.

Depends on your machine. You will have to try it out, read also the readme about optimization on heavy sites.

Thanks for the answers, one last question concerning the award location. You said I can edit it under settings and that's true but I want to edit it myself in the code. Now I can only chose before or after the name but I want it to be under the name:

Username<br />
Awards
