Points for clicking
 

Requested by Abaweet69 here.

This mod allows you to configure links where an user is given a set amount of points per set interval seconds for clicking.
You can either choose to have the urls dynamic (IE it accepts the ?url= argument), thus generating multiple different links, or if you use only one, you can configure a set url.
The latter offers more security and ease of use, but if you need multiple different links, you would need the dynamic part.

Known issues about the dynamic part is that it removes everything in the url after '&'. If you need urls with & in it, you need to configure the url manually in the script.
More info in the attached .txt file.

sounds like something that could be applied to banners right?

Yea, anything thats linkable ;)

Revan - I can't thank you enough for filling my request
Do you have a paypal account? I'll be more than happy to send you $10 or so for helping me out :)

This is a good idea, unfortunately it allows for only one click a day, regardless of how many different links you have. It would be nice to have one click allowed per link.

I am currently working on v2 of this, it will allow one click per actual link, and not globally :)
All that remains is to find a way to prevent "http://example.com" giving the user [amount] points, then "example.com", "www.example.com", "www.example.com/", "http://example.com/" all giving their own set of points.
:)

what should you worry about that? Admin sets the link.

Yeah, but even though an user sees a link that goes "http://forum/redir_points.php?url=http://www.example.com", it is just too easy to right click the link, copy it, then enter it manually into the address bar, forming it however they want it ;)

This post just alerted me of something:
An user could just create any link he wants.... :ermm:

Here is what I would do. Take the address out of the equation. Create a db set where the user creates a the links and then well they are added to the db and given a numberid or a text id. Where they can be called and instead of say http:///blah they would see 1. Making it non forgable.


ex: http://forum/redir_points.php?url=1 or http://forum/redir_points.php?url=testsite

which would throw them to say http://www.thisisjustatest.com

I don't get it... links should be in db, no? If you want multiple link that is the best way, I think...

Yeah DeMiNe0 said this too, but the thing is that if the image the hack is "connecting" to is dynamic (banner rotation for instance), it would be hard to make a DB of their links and get it to work with this.

does this give the points to ushop? can it be used with any point sys like say vbpets or inferno rgb?

Usefull, thanks

uCS. Hence why it is an addon of this hack ;)

I wonder if one could do it with the google adsense stuff?
They use java for displaying the html...

Any people good with java etc?

ya, I could really use the google adsense thing like Kamu mentinoed!

Any word on this?

It can be for adrite also..In this way, we can finally affort our forums cost by pay-per-clicks systems...

I believe google would put you on hold. You would be offering incentives to users that click the google ads, which you are not allowed to do

Yea that is DIRECTLY against the Adsense TOS and you would get pernamently banned from the program ASAP!

However, I have a top 100 button that uses anti-cheat technology that won't allow you to merely enter in the address. Somehow it redirects anyone who enters the address into the address bar (or uses a redirect)... only clicking on the link will bring you to the right place. Here is the URL

http://www.xtremetop100.com/in.php?site=1122596524

How would I get that to work? (Try entering it into the address bar manually to see what I mean)

Thanks!

Any update on this?
