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!

updates... will always be: re-import the product, set to "Allow Overwrite"...

Nexialys, or anyone else, I think this is going to work for me but I'm not sure what else I need. Here is what I will be doing with it.

I am creating a forum for gamers to play tournaments and bet on online games, like Halo. Members will buy x amount of points for x amount of dollars. They can then use those points to enter tournaments and bet with each other. If they win the tournament they will get all the points that were used by members to enter the tournament. Then when ever they want they can cash out with their points for real money.

It would be nice if when they bought the points it went straight into their bank or if when they entered a tournament they just clicked a enter button that took their points away but I believe all of this could work if people can just pm points to other members.

I don't know what else I need besides Nexia's Point System. Oh and if anyone is interested in helping with this project and loves video games I am looking for a partner. It will be VGPros.com. Thanks in advance.

@VG Pros... this projet seems promissing, and i'm sure we can provide everything you need regarding points.

actually, if you buy the Geek Mart system, you will have a system that works to buy points with paypal... but i suppose someone may provide a free alternative to go directly into paypal... i'm not playing with that part.

also, for the PM points to each others, the Donation system will work seemlessly with the core, and i'll be providing one version soon...

for the tournaments thing, i don't know how to handle that... but i'm sure you will find a coder that will built something similar to that request in no long... wait 'til the Gold is out.. i'm fixing the release actually, with a baby and 2 runners in the office... so it will have to wait another 1 or 2 hours... lol

Fantastic!!! 1 question, what is nex points attachments.zip for?

addons for attachment related features...

each of these files prefixed "nex_points_" is a addon... i will add a lot in the next days!

Oh, 1 problem, there are three parts under vBuleltin options for the addon, one is called currency management, the other main posting features, but the other is blank,
