sorry but still do not understand

I tried to put 200 in Target Activity
and 50 in Activity Target: Minimum Points

to have very high percentage do not
but after midnight the value is set to 4 and the percentages become 6789.39% :-(

Why?

Please increase the Activity Target: Minimum Points to an even higher number, and keep doing so until the percentages normalise.

Fillip

I tried to put 300 in Target Activity
and 150 in Activity Target: Minimum Points

but after midnight the value Target Activity is set automatically to 1 and the percentage, highest: 35.542.86% :-(

You're not supposed to change the Target Activity yourself, that's only for testing purposes - namely what you want to try to get the Activity Target: Minimum Points to become.

Test to 300 is ok

sorry
tnaks for support

If you don't understand what I'm telling you then please let me know, because at the moment you are completely ignoring me, which makes it impossible to help you.

Fillip

sorry but I did not understand what to do.
Can you explain? thanks
and sorry again

I must say this confused me at first as well.

Like the other poster I wanted to put in a fixed number of posts, say 20, and then gauge a user's activity from that. If I saw as user with 50% I knew he made 10 posts, a user with 10% only had 2 posts and so on.

The system seems to sum all posts and calculate an average number of posts and set this as the new daily target. A good idea at first glance as posters constantly exceeding 100% will raise tomorrows target a little and by extension put a upward pressure on all posters to keep up and achieve 100% or more. In theory this would benefit the forum immensely.

I fear the practice is somewhat different. If the general trend is for fewer posts that target drops to a new lower average and this in turn could lead to a gradual downward spiral with posters thinking that they are achieving, say 95%, of the target and settling for that. It still has merit as posters may be encouraged if they see themselves achieving over a 100% but I'm a bit pessimistic about that.

Perhaps an option to have either a fixed target or a daily recalculated target would be a good idea?

- vBActivity v2.1.7:
Change: Remove "Requestable / Nominatable" from Award areas in Lite, as these features are Pro only
Change: Major performance increase on pages like Activity Feed

Fillip

vBActivity v2.1.8
* Feature: Added an option to disable the "Activity Feed" page. This is recommended for large forums (10,000+ members, 500,000+ posts) as database servers have a hard time coping with a "points log" table that large.

Hello, Huge fans. Love all of your products!

I received this error, via my VBulletin 3.8.7

Ive done a reupload of all my files over and over, not sure what causes this, Ive also disabled all other plugins, and products.

Zip updated, try re-downloading and re-importing :)


Fillip

Ooh Yay! Thanks so much, I should have posted the error far sooner. Haha, thanks for the support you guys rock, All of your products blow the competition out of the water!

Huge Fan, Keep it going.

Oh quick question, it appears I had a previous installation made, however the previous achievements and awards, are not going away ? What I can do to restore them or remove them, when I try to view the broken image, it only goes to the directory.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the product.

Fillip

That didnt do it, It is still showing image errors as if they are they are awards. They are inside the boxes and not directly connecting to any image.

They are still ghosting...

Wondering if you were able to still help me ?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to describe.

Zip file updated to address installer problems.

Fillip

any ideas?

Running 3.8.7 ..... tried a few times.

No DBTech product is compatible with PHP4. Please upgrade to PHP5, as PHP4 has been unsupported from The PHP Group for several years now.

You will get some "deprecated" messages from vBulletin when you perform this upgrade because they have refused to fix it for PHP5, to fix them you need to open the files in the messages and change &= new to = new :)


Fillip

Thank you.

Worked now.

There are no changes in vBActivity v3.0.1 for Lite users. This update is merely to bring it in line with the Pro version which received a security update today.

Fillip

Hello again Fillip,
Having a small issue trying again to get the mod to show on the postbit legacy.
I will say again its a custom legacy, what hooks does your mod look for to make it show on the postbit.

thankyou again

postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts is the template hook :)


Fillip

The Connection was Reset Error

Awesome Mod.. But I have problems with the Installation Process.

When I try to upload the product, first it takes long time to load, and then I get the "Connection was reset" error! I tried on all my browser, they all go dead after 30 seconds! I have changed my php.ini and checked my htacces..

I tried to upload new flash on my browser, even tried to deactivate all my plugins!
I still dont know why I cant install it! I tried to install it on my WAMP and it went fine, even tho It had to do so much work durring the installation..... I dont know why my connection gets reset while Installing this, I hope I could get a sulotion for this...

Thank you!

Can you check your server's error_log to see if there's any hints there?
