The achievements are nice (3.8.5) but theres no way to really show them off. They aren't listed in your profile even.

Hi, this is a great mod :) o

One thing that I need to now is how can I customize the placement of the "experience" tab in member profile. I have modified the memberinfo page to look more like myspace style, I don't have stuff like about me, friends, experience etc. tabbed anymore (it's expanded and standalone). The experience window is now on the right side of the page (main column, expanded), but I need to move it to the left side and collapse it. Another way is to remove the experience window entirely and to place it on a separate page, leaving only a link to that page in the profile. Would it be possible ? Where can I find the code for the memberinfo block placement ? (it's not in the memberinfo, co maybe I'm missing something).
It would be nice also to have activity and level bars below user profile picture in member profile, can you please suggest how can I place them there ?

Thanks and good luck, happy coding :).

How do I alter the settings for the vBExperience promotions? I can see how to turn it on, but unlike the normal vB promotions where there is a menu to add promotions, in vBExperience I don't see it. Please help!

Tabbed sounds great, will try it.

Yes I know. The first Beta is just a first try to implement them. Take a look at the awards, it's the same story in developing.


You should check the code that is hooking in memberinfo complete

Thanks, will fix it for Beta 2

AdminCP, Experience, Manage Promotions...

I also wanted to know if it was possible to move the awards from next to username to somewhere else in postbit, like under the post count in "Yet Another Award System"

Thanks for your speedy response Phalynx. That option isn't actually in my AdminCP:

I did re-read your readme and found that it can be done through the levels XML file, but again, I don't see such an option in the admincp (I'm using vBulletin 3.8.1 with the latest version of vBExperience, 3.8.4.2)

This is really odd. I have the latest of both vb and experience and the levels show in the postbit legacy of my custom skin but refuse to show in my unmolested stock theme and both postbits have the same code (same template)

If you right click on the stock vb level area in the postbit you see....... /images/misc/level/grey
with no .png at the end. It is not pointing to the correct directory.

but in the custom working postbits you see....... /xperience/images/grey.png

How can I fix this this. Both the original stock vbtheme and the custom theme have the same postbit template, yet the original vb theme shows incorrectly.

Both have the $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left] is in all postbit templates. As a fatter of fact all $template_hook_ are present.

What should I try?

That will be possible in vBExperience 3.8.5 . Awards will be showed at postbit (configurable)

And yeah, I've never used Experience promotions but you are right, that option is not present in 3.8.4.2 but it is present in 3.8.5 Beta 1

Anyone has a Russian translation for 3.8.4.2?

Can Anyone explain to me exactly what 'Per Day' means? Is that every day you've logged into the forums or is it just how many days since you registered...?

It's the average posts per day, depends on PPD factor at vbexperience settings.
I guess that "factor" is something like a period, Phalynx can explain it to us better than me.

For example:
Factor = 30

VBexperience calculates the average PPD written by all users within the last 30 days in your forum.

If all your users posted 180 along of 30 days... well, the PPD will be 6

the vbexperience promotion system is not working for me and it's driving me nuts!! can anybody please tell me what i did wrong? i have the xml file attached.

for some reason it keeps kicking my users to usergroup 2, even though i want it to put them in different usergroups like 16, 17, and 18. all of the levels and experince points and being read correctly, but it's ignoring the promotions (or usergroup i want certain users to change to)!

btw, i do not have any vbulletin promotions. i only have turned on vbexperience promotions.

thanks in advance for any help.

Is there any way that you could add an awards showcase similar to that of the Yet Another Awards System?

I'm not a fan of having them by the username, but I want them to be displayed in the postbit.

please someone must have a zip of images for the shop, all sizes

Implemented in vBExperience 3.8.5 (Beta 1 is currently released, Beta 2 will follow today)

GUI for Promotions are in 3.8.5, not 3.8.4.x - there you must handle it in xml files.


Copy images to your style/misc folder or just upgrade to 3.8.4 - it's using a path that is not bound to a style.


Ugrade now to vBExperience 3.8.5 (Beta 1 is currently released, Beta 2 will follow today), as it features a GUI for promotions.


Implemented in vBExperience 3.8.5 (Beta 1 is currently released, Beta 2 will follow today)

Thanks =D!

Marius, when a user is deleted does that mean all the information associated with that user is deleted or would we have to remove that information manually from the database?

If not what would the query be to remobve data from the tables of a user who is now deleted.

Only informations in the user table are deleted. All others, like shop are not deleted.

I figured it out, I had to revert the stock theme template (gfx full) but i will update to the next latest version. Thank you.

will this integrate with kbank, or can the kbank points be converted for this one ?

It can be converted into vbExperience custom points with a custom query.

Bug: Beta1

Experience:Activity
Set Include User's Posts: No

Recount: Update Activity PPD

Get this DB Error:

What is your PPD Timeframe?

Heres my full settings:

Average Posts Per Day: 0 (Set automaticly, not by me)
Timeframe for activity: 10
Include User's Posts: No
Include Users Blog: No
Include Users Visitor Mess: No
Include Users Social Group: No
Include Users Last Activity Date: Yes (Which doesn't seem to be working, but I'm not sure)

That's the fault. Last Activity Date does not increase the PPD, it's decreasing it. For every day the user is not online (in the timeframe), it's decrease in 0.1 steps.
As you disabled all calculations, the PPD is 0.

This cannot work.

Ah so your saying I have to have at least one thing active. Ok, so if I set Include User's Posts: Yes and recount I still have PPD of 0 is that normal?

No, it's not normal. Do you have any forums/users on exception list?

Is there any way that I can limit what types of points that my users give to each other? I only want them to be able to give custom points to each other.

The reason being is that I want the points for posts, etc. to be the way of measuring their experience, but I want the custom points to be their spendable money, as it's the only currency that's accepted in the shop.

Thanks, and great mod. My members absolutely love it. :)

Phalynx. I have one or 2 users on exception list (Due to them being RSS Bots) and no forums are on it. Do I need to take them off? I think I have ignore inactive users set to if that makes a difference.

Just to verify I have one user disabled (Due to being a Bot) and Only Active Users set to Yes.
Thanks for any help.

Currently you need to edit the source. There is an internal exception list for that. Maybe I extend that so it is editable.

Very strange. Please provide me a temporary admin on your forum so I can take a further look.

BTW, PM sent with temp admin info.

SO, I want to display what my members buy in shop on their Signature ? How can I Do that ?

Is it possible to have a setting that gives different points for threads opened in certain sub-forums and for the whole activity of users in those sections?

For example, if I have a sub-forum called IT&Gadgets and certain users are always active there by writing reviews or getting involved into discussions, those users to receive higher points for their threads/reply given in that sub-forum than users active in others sub-forums like lets say "Funny things". What I want is a difference between the quality of threads/posts based on what subjects I want to be developed on the forum.

Also It would be pretty nice to have a button available for the staff directly on the forum and could be used just like giving infraction points, with the difference it will add experience points to the user for a certain thread/post.

Thank You,

Just for more info on my bug (PPD of 0), If I set YES to Include Visitor posts (There is very very few on the whole site), I get a PPD of .5. If I also set YES to Include Social Group messages (Once again only just a handful on the whole site) I get a PPD of .6666666667. What I'm getting for this is the option for Include Posts isn't actually including any posts at all... So all its including is when i have Visitor and Social Group messages turned to YES. Otherwise I get a PPD of 0 because all I'm asking it to count is Posts, which for some reason it isn't.

Please do. :)

How would I go about editing it manually though?

Yeah pretty strange. I have, usergroups, users ID and forums ID on exception list an everything is working good :erm:

Yes, with settings in Experience: Shop you can set so items will be displayed in different places in postbit.

There is a plugin called Advanced Forums. With it you can set some settings depending of the forum.

There is a button in the AdminCP, Experience, Manage Custom Points. Will think about addition to the user profile.


Very strange. There was a bug in 3.8.4 Beta which has not counted users posts. But it has been fixed then.

Edit xperience.php, edit the line that begins with $gap_notallowed (it's at the top!)
Extend it with the column names that you don't want. The names you can find in the table xperience_stats.


Thanks for helping me out :)

is it possible to add activity codes in usercp and forumhome template? i tried to add, but it didnt worked.

Please specify "activity codes".
