ahhh okay.....will wait then...thanks :p

@Phalynx:
I like this mod, have just installed it on my test-forum to see how it is performing. The only thing I found that recounting points after changing config is a bit slow (about one hour) with 27000 users / 10500 threads / 135000 posts, but the test-server is not very fast, so this may be better on our normal server.

Will you also develop a version for vbulletin 4.0 when it is released? (i do not want to loose this mod again after a short while, when I install it now and 4.0 will be released in a couple of weeks/months (?) )

after doing the upgrade from 382 to 3842 version today all of our settings pages are blank afterwards. I did apply the xml file (uploaded and allowed for overwrite selected) still the primary few options are showing nothing when we click on them (xperience settings etc etc) and show only a blank page and the page footer information.

What can i do to try to fix this?

Is it possible it could be incorporated as an Award in a future update ? Achievements go away over time.. (in postbit) Awards stick around forever. And this one is pretty important.

i see the listed fix for the issue i'm having suggested in the main section "Known Issues" and I am going to recompile apache and php versions to see if that will fix the problem.

ok i've recompiled apache/php on my webserver and i'm still receiving nothing but blank pages in the admin section for vbexperience settings and other links in there. What can I do to fix this problem. Do I need to do a complete uninstall and reinstallation? This problem did not exist for us prior to upgrading to 3842 today.

Ok I seem to have found a fix. I uninstalled vbexperience and installed the 3.85 beta version. That I notice doesn't have any of the settings options within the experience menu thereby fixing the problem completely. I guess i upgraded all of my webserver software and recompiled apache/php4/php5 for nothing.

are you gonna update this for vBulletin 4.0 ?

**fingers crossed** :)

Definitely. A version for vBulletin 4.0 Forums and Publishing Suite will be available as soon as I can get a copy of the beta and do the required changes. With the final release of vB4 I expect also to have a final version of vBExperience 4.0


In normal case, you only need to recount once. Also, please read the readme files in the ZIP to read more about optimization.

Add to my todo list.

I removed it in 3.8.5 because 3.8.5 contains a lot more options. The menue has been overloaded with the links to the options. In previous version that links were also just shortcuts to the vBulletin options.

I would not say for nothing, you have now a more stable, security fixed version of your webserver :D

Now that is some fantastic news Marius, thank you.:up:

Ah, that's great news about the upgrade to vB4.0 - This is one of my best mods and was worried it wasn't going to be supported.

i just came to ask this, lol. am glad there will be a vB experience for 4.0!!!

please tell vB to give u the beta asap as you are an important part of the vB community. lol, they should actually just invite you to the vB team so you can integrate your mod standard. :)

Phalynx will be possible to look into the calculation problem for my 3.8.4.2 GOLD installation on my board? :)

Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. The bars aren't appearing correctly. Can someone take a look at them and see whats wrong?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Wonder if someone could help me! I've gone through the stages I'm supposed to do to install vBexperience Shop however I'm stuck! Here are the instructions:

"How to implement Shop Items that can be downloaded after purchased.

1. Install vBExperience, enable shop.
2. Install LDM Links And Download Manager or DownloadsII
3. Install either ZIP\extras\Addons\download_files_shop_ldm.xml or ZIP\extras\Addons\download_files_shop_downloadsII. xml. Depends of which downloadsystem you have installed.
4. Upload the download content. Memorize the LinkID!
5. AdminCP, Experience, Manage Shop, Add Category/Edit items
6. Depending of the downloadsystem you have to enter the numerical LinkID into the correct field."

...basically I just don't understand stage no.4 ... I mean I really don't get it! It's quite embarassing as I just don't understand the instruction! Please help! :o

I don't know the process for LDM, but for DownloadsII you go to the downloads page, click the add button from the downloads page menu, select the file from your hard drive and upload the file. When the upload is completed the page will refresh, don't go anywhere just yet, look at the address bar for your browser, at the end of the address you will see a number, for the first file you upload the number will be 1, for the thousand and second upload the number will be 1002, that number is the file Link ID.

Ok I understand what you mean! Thank you very much! I have DownloadsII as well so that's perfect.

My other problem is that I don't understand what it means when it says upload the "download content" as in what is the "download content"? :confused:

Sorry for being your typical newbie! :o

The file you are uploading is the download content. ;)

Please help me. How can I score for Attachments?

Oh dear... at the risk of sounding even more stupid (not that I'm sure that's actually possible) what file am I supposed to upload? I can't see anymore files other than the ones in the upload_via_ftp folder which I've uploaded already. What's this file (or download content) called? :o

First off, please stop referring to yourself in such a derogatory manner, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being unsure and even less wrong with asking for help and clarification.

Okay, the Downloads are meant to be literally just that, downloads, these could be software or packs of avatars or smilies, that type of thing. Neither vBexperience or DownloadsII come with any downloads for you to use, this isn't really of any use to you if you do not have software or image packs you wish to share. You could use vbExperience as it is and allow your members to buy only virtual items that are displayed in the postbit etcetera.

Yes, as soon as I get some time. Not earlier, sorry.

Very strange. Does it appear in same manner in a standard default style on your forum?

:up: :)

Lol ok I'm sorry! It's just the forum I'm a member of is very anti-newbies (hence one of the reasons I'm starting my own forum - trying to make it a more friendly place) so I'm trying not to annoy anyone with what are probably very simple questions.

The thing is I've dowloaded vBExperience and it seems to be working well except that my shop has no categories or images so all I'm trying to work out is where do I get the images from, what size are they supposed to be and how do I upload them to the shop?

I've tried reading through this thread but there doesn't seem to be any info on how to do this or if there is I've missed it.

You can get some great icons from here: http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.cat.1.html

Okay, this is what I do for items, create 3 versions of each image, 1 64px by 64px, 1 200px by 200px, 1 350px by 350px
Via FTP create a new folder in ./images, call it shop, in ./images/shop create 2 new folder, call one 200px and the other icons.
Upload the 350px images to ./images/shop/
Upload the 200px images to ./images/shop/200px/
Upload the 64px images to ./images/shop/icons/


admin panel/Experience/Manage Shop, there you will see Add Category, click that and create a category, do this for all the categories you wish.

Now you can add items to which ever category you want, back in Manage Shop you will see your created categories, to the right of each category you will see Edit Items, click that and then click Add item then add your first item.

To get the images to show you need to add their addresses in the image entry fields whilst adding items.
For Title add the items name
For Description add a brief description of the item
For Picture add /images/shop/yourimagename.jpg
For Thumb add /images/shop/200px/yourimagename.jpg
For Icon add /images/shop/icons/yourimagename.jpg

For Display Order add the number to correspond with where in the list you wish the item to appear, for 7th place add 7 and so on.
For Quantity you add how many of the items you want to be available for purchase overall.
For Costs add how many points you require your members to pay for that item
For Costfield, use the dropdown menu and choose the field you want your members to have to use to buy that item.


When you have added all the items you want in that Category remember to click Generate icons/name for postbit

vBExperience installed plus all my members are on level 1, as recounted points several times and they left the level 1, can someone help fix this:confused:

http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/2403/vbexp.png

If it's in beta, should I have downloaded the previous version?

Two problems
1: The Experience link on my navbar is going to a 404 page not found. Everything else looks to be running fine. Doublechecked each and every folder/file in the upload folder as well. Any suggestions?

2. db error
Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT
COUNT(id) as cnt_images,
SUM(views) as sum_views
FROM pp6_photos
WHERE userid=1
GROUP BY userid;

Love this mod and can't wait to work these issues out!

Hello -

I just finished reading the first 33 pages to find this, and still not luck. I hope you haven't already answered this.

1. I've been fiddling with a lot of point values to get to adjust point values. As a result, many of my members are wondering why they lost 45,000 points, 2600 points, etc. Is there a way for me to clear history of these wild fluctuations and set them to start on a particular day?

2. I don't have any Infractions to keep track of. How can I remove the "Infractions" Tab on their profile page?

Thanks,
dc

I gotta say, nice work. I tried the Beta 2 and it failed on my board terribly. Installed the latest Beta and so far so good. I can see the differences in the promotion system and although I had to hit recount multiple times to push people up the promotions ladder, it worked flawlessly.

Nice work :D

Regarding the setting: Latest achievements
In the admin panel: Displays only the last x Achievements of the user (postbit, profile). Lets say we choose = 5.

Problem: If you have a user having 6 or more achievements - the software will:

In the profile navbar -> latest news = correct result -> the system shows the achievements in a rolling fashion.

In the postbit and profile block -> latest achievements = not correct result -> the system shows the achievements according to how their parent achievement category is positioned (display order).

Suggestion: Besides making it rolling for postbit and profile block: In the profile block make a 'view more/all' setting. It is nice to see them all together at one place - but not if it fills up the whole profile window. So e.g. show the latest 5 and then a "view more".

Please help. I need too.
How can I score for Attachments?

How would I get those bars to not show up in users posts?

I figured out how to remove the infractions tab that I asked about 5 posts above.

Here's how I did it in case someone else has the same question:

1. cp > Style Manager > Member Info Templates > MEMBERINFO
   
2. Delete $blocks[infractions]

cheers,
dc

Will you plan on releasing this for vBulletin 4?

Developer has stated he would, but when he has time. :cool:

Might be a silly question.
