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!

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...

i Write it arabic not atabic

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
