No deduction of points is currently possible, sorry :(

I have no idea if it can be integrated with that mod, but if you can change the points field in the user table, you can change it to dbtech_vbactivity_points and it should work :)

Please note that until the next version (due next month), spending points in a store will cause a user's level to drop - this is something that'll be remedied :)

Maybe I will start by adding the mod as it is and then add the "store" once you come up with the next version.

Another great way to make this give more points is adding a mod for arcade high scorers? This may already be possible, I am not sure?

I use helpful answers, but I have it set so that helpful answers counts toward rep, so that should already be "intergrated" right?

vBA doesn't integrate with rep so no it won't be integrated by default. That is, unless they use the Data Manager to store reputation, which few mods do.

Arcade integration is coming in the future (if possible) - we've got more core updates to do before we can start integrating it with other mods :)

Glad to hear it. :)

Above it states "points for each point of reputation" in the list. Since I use helpful answers, and helpful answers is integrated with reputation, (I have it set up so that it gives 1 point for each helpful answer), then it should give points for helpful answers, right? I think?....

That applies for when people give eachother reputation using vBulletin's own reputation system.
It will support the Helpful Answers mod only if that mod was coded to add reputation in the same way vBulletin adds reputation.

Okay thank you. I have it installed, do you have a FAQ for setting it up properly?

Promising this...

I have a few questions if you don't mind answering?

How do these work?

Manage Achievements
Manage Categories
Manage Criteria

When I goto add an Achievement is asks me to do some Missing Required Information: Criteria.

I click the link and all the Add New Criteria options come up, do you need to enter all that info again, I was under the impression it was set already?

If you do then not a problem but WTF does all the symbols mean in Comparison ?? > , => etc

I had the same question, but most of these settings you will find under your vboptions. I think this area you are speaking of is for giving awards to users.

No FAQ yet, though it's an area we're hoping to improve upon in the future :)

The Lite version comes with no default data.
You'll have to create Criteria for your Achievements to require, and Categories for them to be in, before you can create a new achievement :)

> means "greater than"
>= means "greater than or equal to"
= means "equal to"
< means "less than"
<= means "less than or equal to

Hope that helps :)

Great it is installed and working with the points market system. :)

Would be great if you issued points for creating blogs and getting blog comments as well. Probably the #1 thing it is missing.

Is there any mod similar to helpful posts that will work with vbactivity? Most of my users use that feature instead of rep (easier to see I guess....)

***update. I created an achievement but it is not displaying in the profile or the postbit. Am I missing something? I have created one achievement for <= 10 friends, and I have more than 10, and I see no achievement.

I am wondering if I need to add something to the last line of the creation which states:

Additional Criteria : 0


****another question: Can you change the name of the "points" to something else? Like cash, bucks, ect?

It's also #1 priority for when it's time to get started on integration ;)

I don't know, sorry =(

"<=" means "less than or equal to". You should change it to ">=" which means "greater than or equal to" :)
Having more than 10 friends will correctly not award the Achievement for having less than 10 friends.

Also, please make sure the Display Order is set to a number greater than 0. That's most commonly the cause for Achievements not being awarded properly :)

That's used for if you want to add more criteria to the Achievement, so no :)


Using the Phrase system that'd be possible, yeah. You just need to change all instances of "Points" to whatever you want.


Hope that helps :)

This mod is great, having a good time setting it up. Cannot wait to launch it on Monday. I would like to post the "results" of my weekly statistics compared to before the mod was installed if you would like :)

On the achievements, I tried both ways, and even without the = sign, and I still am not able to see it under postbit or profile in the activity section. Under profile it states "0".

Using the Phrase system that'd be possible, yeah. You just need to change all instances of "Points" to whatever you want.

How would I do this? I don't know anything about the Phrase system...:o

Not sure exactly what helpful posts does, but it sounds similar to this mod we just released:

I found out what I needed to do for the acheivements. I needed to reissue them. Awesome. I do have one problem tho, it seems that one new user got a "creating new threads" acheivement when I had it set on "less than" instead of "greater than". Anyway to remove that achievement?

I like this, does it integrate with reputation or points system?

Not currently no, sorry =(

None of our stuff integrate for v1, we always release the base mod and then observe what people want before we work on integrations :)

Sure :)

Languages & Phrases -> Search Phrases :)

Thank you for all your help. :) I love this mod.

One last question, how do I remove the Activity button from the tabs section?

Clear out the dbtech_vbactivity_navbar_link template.

Thanks, I got it :)

OK, a couple more things :)

1. I have users who are not getting their points counted all the time, for instance, some will get reputation points and others do not.

2. I have also noticed that the reporting on the daily increase is a huge problem on the activity page - is there any way that you could make that report optional? Everyone gets their partial point for each day, there's no need to include on the report, all it does is give several pages (I have 1600 members) of reports and exposes accounts that I may not want people to be aware of.

Do you use any modifications that add to reputation?

This will be fixed in one of the upcoming versions.
Both the spam and the accounts thing.

Point types (like the "days registered" one) will be hidable.
Pro version will be getting a user(group) exclude function also.

None at all, I have very few plugins really. Have also noticed that infraction points were not picked up - I had hoped to use them to give extra points to people as we don't need the infraction system on my forum.

Hmmm... Can you tell me more about the situations that lead to points not being added? Were rep points added via the front-end or the admin back-end?
Anything else you can think of?

The points are all added via the front end, I've also tried adding rep points via the backend and neither of them worked.

Hi, where can i change the color of the Leaderboards cause my Background is Black and the Titel is black, too.

Hmm, I'll test it out some for the upcoming update on Friday :)

You'll need to edit the CSS, in dbtech_vbactivity.css there's a fieldset class.
Try adding
to it.

If that doesn't work, then you won't need to wait longer than Friday, I intend to fix this and make it changeable easily for that update :)

Can this mod be set to recalculate points for a specific period of time?

For example- only calculate points starting from April 15-June 15th, etc? Then reset it for another date/time?

Not currently, no, but I believe it's something we're investigating for v2 :)

Jinkies, just when I think the search is over. . . thank you for the reply, I'll keep checking back on future versions. :-)

Looks pretty cool. Tagged for future install! =)

vBActivity v1.2 is a small update which aims to increase the stability of vBActivity while you wait for v2, which will be a major revamp.

* The Ranking block acts more like a real table of data.
* There's now an option to reset all points, should this be required for your forum for whatever reason.
* postbit stats are now collapsible, and some UserCP options have been added that lets your members control this behaviour.
* as well as fix any other reported and confirmed bugs.

We hope you enjoy this update, hang tight for v2 :)

Even as an administrator I cannot see the activity page. Is this because no achievements are setup?

It is a fresh install on vb4.

Did you configure usergroup permissions?

Administrators and Registered Users both have "Yes" set for "Can View Activity".

Do you get any errors, then?

I have not seen any errors. The activity is listing just fine in the user profile page. Added category, criteria, achievements. Achievement was successfully awarded, as were some points.

It is something very simple I am betting, perhaps something I have overlooked. But I have no idea, since the permission is set.

How can you not see the activity page and not get any errors?
What happens, exactly, if you go to vbactivity.php ?

"you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"

The "Weekly Activity" percentage is still through the roof. I thought it was suppose to balance out after one week passes from running the 'recalculate points' tool? All our veteran members have extremely high percentages - even members who don't post anymore...

Is this a bug?

Depending on your exact settings it can take up to a month - it depends which criteria the target was set using - in your case it sounds like it was the monthly score/4 - this means it will reset after a month.
