There is something wrong with the achievements. I suggest to execute "Clear all issued Achievements and Logs" and do a recount on achievements.

congrats on Motm, phalynx! you definitely deserve this! EXCELLENT support and product! :) Wish more developers were like you

Thanks :)


Attention to vBookie Users:
There is a new version of the vBookie integration. It fixes the problems by using vBExperience as a cash provider.
Please download this product and install it.

Could you help me with this achievement?

1 Hot Thread (Thread has become hot because 100 people have posted in the thread you created)

in the settings:
threads worth 20
posts worth 2

thank you. i thought i had it, but i dont think mine is right.

This will not work this way. You cannot issue an achievement to a single thread. If you want to do such an Hot Thread achievement you will have to write a plugin and do your own calculation (f.e. searching if user has a hot thread) and fill the data in a field that the achievement will read it.

dang, i wouldnt know how to do that. I'm sure you've got to have lots of programming knowledge to do it. I'd sure like to see examples (other than the default ones) that other people have created on their own using the conditions that are included in the program (or the addon conditions too).

I can't find where to do this. I found "Manage Awards -> Discussion Ender", and there I can make some modifications...but I don't see where to edit the point value .

Sorry about that. Done! :)


Also, since installing this, I'm getting spammed with sql error messages via the automated script to my email. Same or similar sql error above (sql server timed own (or gone away)).

I don't know if all of these are caused by the error you mentioned above. But 1) I can't find the area to assign a point value for the discussion ender, 2) I've since cleared achievements/logs and recounted and the numbers have come back down dramatically (as far as # of members) so maybe that will do it. I'll keep you posted on this particular issue.

Just need to find where to modify points...

*edit* Where can I modify the value for infractions?

After the changes, I'm still getting spammed with db errors.

I think it's just a load issue on my server. It's too intense. I've disabled GAP too.

Maybe I will do an "official" plugin for that.

AdminCP, Settings, Options, Experience: Points. There you will find also the point values for infractions. A 0 disables the calculation of this. Discussion Ender needs much CPU.

Thanks :)

Did you read already the readme_optimization.txt?



GAP does not eat ressources. Just disabled that points that you don't need (set to 0). Achievements needs also more power.

Found the points area, thanks. I optimized what I could (by changing point values to zero on some activities...if that does anything).

However, a few questions:

1) When do you recommend recounting the Achievements? How do you know when you should recount them?

2) Also, for the option "Limit the Award to a position in query; Use 0 for GOLD Award, 1 for Silver, etc..."...where you can select Gold, Silver or Bronze, what exactly does this mean?

3) For the "Referrals" activity...the award is not matching up with what shows in the statistics. The award winner isn't even close to being in the top 3. What's going on?

btw, thanks for the terrific support. Like others have said...it's probably the best supported mod here.
