Nexia's POINTS system
 

SORRY, HACK DROPPED


Here it goes, a new kind of Points System that works in any kind of situations.

this product is now GOLD ... version 1.0.1 !

SCREENSHOTS >>>>>>>>>

update: 04-04-07: fixed most of the bugs i think... retrieve points on thread/post deletion is ok now!
update: 04-06-07: upgrade to 1.0.2 'til bug fixed... this version add the AdminCP!, display the points in member profile.
update: 04-07-07: added nex_points_registration.zip... add features on members registration.
(give points on registration, give point when invited, give points to referrer!)

update 04-10-07: reformated the tasks in the Deals, so now they are safe on mega big sites... (tested on a 250 000 users forum today!)
...................................

Simplicity:
this system is a lot more simplier than all the other points systems, provide less features, but at least, it work from the start, and can be upgraded without being hassled by a long HowTo... ;) it is so simple that ANY coder can support it... even if the creator(me) dies, everybody can make a follow up of these works.

Advantages:
- no API... no need to learn a lot of codes to be able to write a new addon for it.
- no strange calculations... you can add, delete, multiply points without having to filter everything.
- a lot of hooks possible. so if you want to apply a filter to the default points given, per usergroup or per forum, you can... without having to re-write everything.
- no need to edit millions of templates...actually, with the Core Only, you have no file or template to edit...it use the vBulletin hooks system at its best!
- no millions of features for no uses... if you don't want to use this or that feature, just don't install it! everything is run by products related to the CORE... so if you don't want all these gadgets, you don't have to install them.

Features:

default features in the core package: give points when posting threads or replies, give points on reputation... that's all...

Admin can now edit users points in the User Management...

A lot of features in the future... each time something is requested, we can see if it is possible with the default installation of vBulletin, and if not, we can surely provide a file edit to make it work.


MESSAGE TO CODERS:: if you want to play with it and bring addons and new features, PLEASE do so.. this is the goal of this freely plugable system.

MESSAGE for vBbux Owners:: The vBbux Import is now back as a package in this thread. If you already imported your vBbux points, DON'T DO IT AGAIN!

READ THE HowTo.txt file to know what to do with this...

for the generous minds: i've been asked some times if i was receiving donations... donations are gifts, so i can't refuse gifts... but i do not ask for any... and for infos (stop asking in a pm), the "Support Developper" on the top right panel of this release is the link to click!

oh, and even if the thumbnails of the usercp indicate the word "Bank", there is none actually... this is a thing that is to be set with some friend's bank actually!

Will Try Sounds Good

Thanks

Is it possible to use the Point System also with forum persmissions?
A user only can read a thread if he has xx point.

This is an excellent idea. A Base points system to create independent modules for. As long as the core system remains simple and secure, you would eliminate issues that plague other systems now (looking at you ebux/estore). If a module has an issue, you just remove the module, not the whole system. I'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

yeah, per-forums permissions to read and post will be able to do in no long...

i'm coding a lot of addons for the system, one of them is a section where we set per-forum the points needed to read or reply to the threads...

the per-forum thingy is a bit bigger than the default because it requires to edit the forums too, not only the settings... btw it will be done in no long.. :)

ATABIC ?!... what a strange country... i suppose you are from a new planet then ?!

lol

ok, i will not be able to translate it to arabic, so when the tool is out of the beta stage, i will give the permission to translate it in anyother language than english/french.... for the moment, it is useless, as in the next days we will add and edit a lot of things...

how do you see the points in postbit legacy etc?

Hmm...sounds interesting. I hope this works out in the end b/c I've been WAITING for someone to come out with a good points/cash system. Good luck!

:D:D:D:D:D:D

i Write it arabic not atabic :mad:

soo i'll wait You :up:

I like the idea. I hope there will be a lot of addons for it soon!

this is not done yet... i'll be adding that kind of details as soon as possible... i was waiting for requests too.. :)

as this is a script in BETA stage, there is a lot of missing things... the more you request, the more you will have features.

All I can see right now is the postbit legacy edit with a donate option. thats about it I mean a shop later on would rock.

Looks great when this has more stuff I will install.

Postbit "addition" will not be a template edition if i'm the one to do it... actually i can add the link quickly, but i will require a day or two to test the donation thingy...

nexialys,

Just a word of encouragement and in general - thanks!

I have the following feature requests:

1). vbookie integration - not sure which add-on this would fall under but it is a must for myself and I would imagine, others;

2). ibproarcade integration - again not sure which side this would fall under;

3). a points 'importer' function for vbux and the vbux bank system (this may be as simple as giving us a query to run?)

Now that I think about it, if (3) was available first, I could use this immediately.

Thanks again,

~Regs.

Things that I would like to see in this:
1) Allow people to buy the points/cash via paypal.
2) Allow people to cash out on their points/cash via paypal.
3) Allow people to donate/transfer points to other members on the site
4) Integrate this with the Thanks System (e.g. receive a Thanks, get a Point)
5) When a member has received so many points, they are "promoted" to another usergroup.

Hmm...I'll see what I can think up later and we what I may need for my new site.

Again, I just want to thank you for your effort in trying to get a good points system going! And if I can get some of those features I've mentioned, I'm definitely willing to donate since all these new cash systems people are making right now are not going to be free.

A point system is so important in vb and untill now ive been shocked there hasnt been a good option out. The things we really need ontop of this base is:

1) Show points in postbit
2) Allow people to donate/transfer points to other members on the site
3) Integrate this with the Thanks System (e.g. receive a Thanks, get a Point)
4) When a member has received so many points, they are "promoted" to another usergroup

Awesome! Nice work. :)

ok, for the requests:

# * Post Thank You Hack hooks: (same for the Post Groan Hack!) by Abe1 u=49809
# nex_points_hook_give_thanks = give X points on thank given
# nex_points_hook_give_thanked = give X points on thank received

i'm testing the logic and will release later!

also:

vBux import will be quick... a simple product import will do the trick... because that hack is efficient.. lol i'll check for it in a minute!

EDIT: the Thank You Hack will require 3 of more plugin editions, i will see with Abe1 if hooks can be added to his script...

EDIT: For the Postbit/Postbit_legacy display of points ("BASIC"), see the screenshot and wait for the update later this evening! that display is basic, and is without template edit... for a larger addon, like "give points to user", we will have to re-evaluate!

awesome once the postbit is done I will be set and I will use the ishop addon I am sure thanks for this system!

about the vBux/vbPlaza IMPORT script, i have one challenge here... someone can provide me with the script ?!... i do not have it in store, and the guys forgot they had hundreds of clients, they dropped the file...

thanks... i can't do an import script 'til i have the original!

EDIT: THANKS FOR THE DONATION... someone provided me with the script, and i was able to write a code for the import... will have to test it for mega-big websites, but the script is actually working properly, and will do two things:

1- import your cash from vBbux in your in-hand for my product...
2- import your bank cash from vBbux in your in-bank for my product...

i can't do more.. :)

Hmmm your points works off the

How could I keep it working without that code? Cause it looks kinda funny have 2 post on my postbit the activity mod and the default post.

hum, yeah, with multiple addons it may cause problems... the fix: i'll provide a template edition.. lol

UPDATE: you can re-import the product, i've updated with a new setting for the postbit...

go to the : Nexia's Points System - Main Posting Features, in the bottom, there is a HowTo when you don't want the automatic edition...

list of planned connections with existing products:

vBbux Import Cash and Bank... (90% done as a product import..)
Geek Mart - Points to Buy, Buy Points via Paypal ... (both done!)

Thanks/Groan Post, from Abe1
vBookie
v3Arcade
ibProArcade
vBlogetin

Whoa, promising. And free!

Alright that worked I had to use

$those_points: $post[nex_points_hand]

But it did work.. Awesome! thanks! Now to configure it.. I notice it says 0 points in bank is that created or a work in progress?

it is a work in progress actually, we're checking if Blaine0002 will provide a link to his iBank... it is supposed to work, i did not test it... but it is one of these things i will not create... coders are requested to provide their own works to bring this tool to be great, and Blaine0002 is the first.. :)

There is so much you could do with this, that I look forward to watching the progress and updates.

However, for me to ever install this, I would really love an import option so i could import the points from current members (ebux points system) over to this one.

If that was possible, then this would be the points system, I would like to get up and running, to show members they have not lost there points, and that the shop will be available shortly.

Thanks.

well I got a db error with the icash system so I disabled it.. Also with the rep part of your points system it causes a error when giving rep

Rep still works but when it redirects you see that error on the top of the page.

Error in the Reputation thing is now corrected.. there was a missing ";" ;) so you can import the product again!

for the iCash, Blaine0002 told me it was not functional... actually... he will fix it!

I have no idea if this is a stupid question or not, but I will ask anyways.
Should I uninstall vbplaza? Or is this going to tie into that at some point? Either way is fine with me, I just don't want to remove it if I will have to add it later!

Don't uninstall vbplaza yet!

Nexialys is almost done an 'importer' to bring the vbux points you have into this new system.

Once that is run, you could probably safely uninstall vbplaza :D

Cheers,

~Regs.

Thank You! That is what I was wondering about. So I figured that asking would be the best thing to do.
Thank You Nexialys, my members are going to LOVE you!!

@LisaD1, i hope your members will love me, that's why i created that new engine, for the gals to love me.. lol i have like 5 or 6 parenting websites that requires this tool... a lot of mothers ;)

and yes, WAIT for the vBBux destruction, the import script will not delete your old vbbux stuff, just import it, so if my tool work, you'll be happy!

OK I will wait!! :)

Moms seem to really love the plaza, or well anything where we can "shop" LOL.
Keep up the great work and THANKS!!

its still give this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/huntcha/public_html/forums/reputation.php(185) : eval()'d code on line 8

after giving rep
