I would like to ask a very simple question if you guys don't mind answering please -

"How can an admin give points to a user?"

I would like to reward a user with some points, but the only thing I can see is give away points. I don't know how to just add them to somebody's account.

**EDIT**

Look for the experience label on the cpadmin sidebar (I couldn't see this)
Inside click manage custom points, and then fill in the details.

Silly question when you know the answer, hope that helps someone else!

That's right, under Manage Custom Points you can give the users extra points, even take away points from them by putting negative values in it. I'm using it on some forums for myself to deduct points because of pinned threads.

I am going to run an ongoing competition month to month for my members, 1st and second prizes for best posts for the month.

Can anyone how I might best do this, is it posssible or even required to zero out the points for each member every month or is there another way of tracking posts month to month.

Any hints or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Not implemented, but could be realised with an CDP Addon.

Place 1. Look for other users. The Addon takes one user and gives him lots of points from others and counts that as a manual transaction form user A to user B.
It can happen that a user gets into minus and then it creates DB errors.

Please stop spreading wrong informations.
Your SQL Error resulted in wrong use of the achievements limit in the settings.

Also I cannot confirm any bug that is putting points from one user to another. Flooding me with postings and visitor messages here and on vbaddict does not help. Whenever I don't have time for support, I simply don't have time. The amount of postings does not change this.

Another wrong information from you. Giving points via AdminCP adds points to exactly one user, it does not mix anything.
