Major Additions - 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...

ISHOP ADDONS:
Blaine0002 now provide his iSHOP, stating it is working properly with this system. the only detail you need for this integration is this detail when you edit your iSHOP settings:

Money row: nex_points_hand
btw, thanks Blaine0002 for this SHOP!

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!

1. in userCP, I notice it displays the currency to MANY decimal points...

2. how to change the language there (such as where it says "You actually have..." and "Your Points/Bank Report") -- is there a place we can edit these phrases?

3. also: what might the odds be of my request being added: that a user gets points for views of threads he started?

thanks man

@acitrano... that's something i forgot to update.. lol

... for your requests all, i'll check that in the next day!

i want to start off every member with 100 points, how do i do that

[milsirhc]

One more feature I hope we can have is able to manage the individual user points.

Ie: admin can take off points for individual user. Reason for this is when say the user reached 10 points and get redeem it with an item, the admin can remove the 10 points from that user and give him the item.

Uploading point attachment gives database error

This is a thing i will add as a addon by tomorrow... in the list of things i will add:

1- as a script (same kind as the vBbux import) all users actually registered, give X points
2- hook: give X points to all registrations
3- hook: give X points per referred member to referrer when visits
4- hook: give X points per referred member to referrer when register
5- hook: give X points per "refer to friend" when this hack is installed

.. and some others when i decide that i have more time!

In the next days, i'll finish the points administration, so the adminCP will contain what to manage each users points... it's a single field added in the user profile.

also, if someone work on it, a "donate points, or gift points" will occur.. or i will code it!

Okay! many thanks!! =)

fyi. deleting of reply posts still did not delete the points allocated.
