You can use the plugin system of vBExperience for this, it's called CDP Custom Data Provider

Something like a bank is on my todo list, but not for the next version.


I'm not really sure what you want to show me...

From Cory Booth.

What I was saying is... I have seen multiple posts addressing this particular SQL error. I assume this error is from the Post Thanks Scoring Hack? In anycase, I too have received this error.

But when I took the SQL from the email and pasted it into phpAdmin I got a NULL result.

To figure out why or what the query wanted I removed parts specifically "AND languageid IN (-1, 0, 1);"

This gave me the language phrase I belive the script was looking for. Therefore I assumed the languageid code was the problem for getting a NULL script.

So I played with the languageid code (changed it from -1 to 1) and reran the original SQL.

I got the return.

Out of confussion, I changed the languageid code back to -1 and I then got the return again.

Hmmmm....

So I imagine the SQL insert for this particular phase and languageid might be putting in a -1 with a blank space? Somehow the -1 for postthanks is corrupt?

I see this error for the first time. Are you sure you are in the correct modification thread?

This is a weird question, but...is it possible for the user to be able to purchase an actual item with their points....like...a gift certificate or something...instead of a virtual item?

Yes, as long you can "link" an virtual item with a real one. If you enable it, you are getting an eMail (purchase certificate) upon a purchase.

Could you further elaborate how that would work? Would I have to purchase the gift certificates in advance? I am thinking specifically of offering Amazon gift certificates in $10 increment for certain point values.

Would that person purchase the gift certificate and then I would have to manually deliver it (via email) to them?

I installed this mod to play with it. I have a few questions.

Is it possible for me to recalculate the points? My board has been running for nearly 10 years, and I have users with >30,000 points. I'd like to try and start back at zero for everyone.

Also, I am only seeing 2 bars instead of 3.

How does the award system work? I have read the instructions, but I can't seem to find a place to create awards or figure out how to award them.

The user levels...what do they mean potentially for my users?

I'm sorry for the newbie questions. There are more than 150 pages to this thread and I can't seem to find the answers.

Kris

Dear Fiona!


Exactly.

No, this is not possible. Currently not.

Enable the third one via AdminCP, Settings/Options vBExperience Bars

AdminCP, vBExperience, Manage Awards

It's like ranking.


Kindly regards,
Shrek

Thanks. I am starting to get the hang of it now!

I don't see an option to activate another bar in my admin CP/settings/experience bars. I can't figure out how to get the third bar. I only have red and green. http://www.medicalspouse.com/forums

What would you recommend that I do in terms of points. I have a small board. I have a total of ~800 users with about 200 active users. Because the board has been in use for so long, many users are already at level 48 or 60 or .... the really big posters are at level 100.

Also, how would I go about making it automatic that users with x number of points automatically gain access to certain forums or features? Again...sorry for the newbie question.

OH, last question...I'm so sorry...when I am creating new awards, how do I get a medal to show up? I was able to create a category and I saw that somewhere here there were some other sample award graphics to download that I can find...but how do I assign the graphic?
Thanks again for the quick response.

Kris

Still only 3 awards are seen on my forum, and awards for thanks isnt seen. one more thing- how to add more awards?

can we talk online on messenger?
PM me your yahoo/googletalk messenger id & when u'll be online? gmt +5.30?

It's called "Hide Level up in Postbit"

Import a bigger level xml file and do a recount. If there are still users with level 100 you need to go one level up.

You will need to edit the level xml files, see readme_levels.txt

You will have to upload the image to your style folder and enter the name of the image into the identificator field.

I don't have any IM. Just PM or eMail.

Still only 3 awards are seen on my forum, and awards for thanks isnt seen. wht shd i do/check?

one more thing- how to add more awards?

As I told you, I need a temporary admin access to take a look. I don't have a crystal ball ;)

AdminCP, vBExperience, Manage Awards

check your pm. reply me via pm/email as soon as you check.

How to Add Shop to NavBar?

Only manually. vBExperience self is automatically added (check options), if the correct hooks are in the navbar template

Problem fixed. After installing the plugin for post thanks you need to change the fields of the helpful award to the post thanks fields.

opps..sorry for trouble to you..BTW, from where you have done it? i've no idea..

Well, thx 4 fix..your mod has increased my forum traffic to such an extent that i need to change shift my site to better server now. :D

IN DEFAULT 4 AWARDS,
Which Fields are used in each?

just wanna know, so i can exclude them in other awards which i'm going to create..
And if i create more awards, which images i should usE?do u have any?
thanks.


can you explain me wht is this option for? i'm not getting it.

Hi Phalynx ! I have some strange issues lately... I have some users that gathered lots of points when i started the forum and vBExperience... got on the first places... and left the forum for a few months now. The problem is somehow related to how PPD are computed or something... because although they have 0 Activity for months, they are still gathering too much experience points every day.

Is there a formula or a way that i could substract points for low activity ? Or maybe the PPD to be computed different for those with 0 Activity ? Or maybe some addon... ?

Thank you in advance for your help !

Edit the awards and you can see which fields are selected.


To have a first, second and a third place.

Maybe this plugin is something for you:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=207859

Thanks for the update !!

so if i'll choose 3 option, then for each awards there will be 3 users?
so default 4 awards, so total 12 users[if one user has only one award then] will be awarded?

You need to create seperate awards for this, in sum 12 awards for 12 users. In each award you need to define the position (gold=0, silver=1, bronze=2).

sorry for more qurestion..but still i'm confused..

This option is in each default 4 awards..wht to do to give gold silver bronze 3 awards for each default 4 awards?

are u telling me to create new awards for that or wrtiting 0,1 in that field will do same?

Thank you very much ! Installed it, but i found it to be VERY aggressive, and not customisable at all...

I had uninstalled through your kill_xperience.php and I'm getting this error when I try to post to my forum.

Is there anyway to see a transaction log of who transfers shop items to other users? I have a new user that has a ton of items already and I suspect something funny going on.

Yes, in AdminCP, Experience, Manage Shop, Transactionlog

Ok, the user has 6 items and I see he only paid for 2. So that is why I was thinking that when a user gifts an item to someone else it wasn't being recorded.

vBExperience 3.8.3 has reached final stage. It brings long awaited features like easier Awards, Social Groups ranking and a fix for the uninstall of the product, plus several fixes.

Changelog:
3.8.3, 09th April 2009
- New Feature for Awards: You can enter a direct URL like "/images/awards/gold1.gif" instead of using the complicated identificator. Existing Awards are working like before.
- New Feature: Social Group Ranking. Points from group members are summed and divided by member count. Option to include only groups with x (default: 5) members. Can be disabled.
- AdminCP, Custom Points, points will be calculated for affected user immediatly
- All addons have now uninstall code to remove own columns
- Breaking change: Support for PhotoPost vBGallery has been outsourced to an plugin. You will need to install this addon (ZIP, extras/addons) to get points of it.
- New addon: v3Arcade Score Submissions
- Fixed uninstall problems
- Fixed path of vBAdvance Modules
- Several smaller fixes

How to upgrade?
1. Copy ALL (I mean ALL - That is a common error!) files from upload_via_ftp/ to the server. Espacially take care of the images, copy them to your style misc folder if you use a customized style.
2. ReImport product_vbexperience383.xml, allow overwrite
3. If you modified any of the vBExperience templates, revert them
4. Run Maintenance Tools/Recount

Did he buyed one item multiple times?

No he bought 2 seperate items according to log. But has 4 other different ones now too. Thanks

When viewing the rankings, it shows 30 users per page.

However, the page navigation ($pagenav) always shows 20 pages ("Page 1 - 20"), even though only 66 users are in the xperience_stats table.

The page navigation should only show three pages (1 and 2 full, 30 each, and a third page with 6 users).

More specifically, do you have any idea why I have users listed correctly on the first three pages, but the next 17 pages (if navigating through using pagenav bar) are blank/empty?

In fact, it ALWAYS shows that there are twenty pages of results (all blank!), even when I delete ALL the statistics and NO users are on the pages. Nothing but Experience headers and an empty grid below).

Installed: But, i'm missing a Group Ranking image to upload. Can anyone tell me what to do, i've looked in the folders but can't see it. :(

Or i'll just use one of the images in there but how would i direct it to the "Group Ranking" do i just rename an image? Or is it abit more complex? I tried renaming an image to group_ranking but thats not enough for it to sit in the empty space. Can someone please help me out...Thanks!! Oh by the way this was just an upgrade from the older version i had already installed.

If you provide me an temporary admin account then I can take a look.

To get support, you will need to click "Mark as Installed".


You need to copy the new image /misc/level/icon_groups.png to you stylefolder. Also, the file /misc/level/icon_ranking.png has been updated.

i've uploaded all files and overitten to respected folders and overwritten with product_vbexperience383 & have done recount.
Do i need to update language and thanks and level products too?

And do i need to do any change? or it'll work as was working before?

You need to update language files only if you are using other than english and it has been updated.
