This hack includes a small script and instructions on how to install and set up the system.
Purpose: Just a simple engine that allows mods and admins to award arbitrary points to users, which will be displayed under their names/avatars.
The points can be named anything you wish, and represent anything you choose. You can use the script to add or subtract them.
As the script utilizes a Custom Profile Field, the point field can be directly edited in the CP when editing a user, allowing you to place text in the field rather than merely a number.
On our forum, the points are called Gil and represent our virtual currency
It is used to purchase perks like Custom Titles and avatars.
Our staff, having no use for Gil, instead like to have snappy quotes in the field, like "I send greetings of death!!!" (Reno) and "Who needs Gil when you have power?" (Sephiroth)

Originally posted by Avenger Anyone know what code to add in order to make it so points are auto-deducted from a moderator, super moderator, or administrator when they give points to someone else. For example, if a moderator has 100 points, and gives 50 to a member, the 50 points are deducted from the mods total.
I have already been reading this thread, but I have only so far seen how to make one usergroup being able to give points, so my question is how to make more than one group doing this. Do I just use a , for seperating the usergroup numbers??
At first it seemed like a miracle, but heres what i done step by step to get the images to show.
Step 1:
Start up the install script again and first REMOVE the templates and tables using the script.
Step 2:
Go through the script again and let it set up the tables etc
Step 3:
Skip the file alterations
Step 4:
Go to your itemshop and direct it to the proper user field
(I installed the SHinra Hack because it provides better moderation functions. But even if youve got this installed you must do the same)
[To find out what field is what simply go to the Modify area of the user profile fields and then hover your mouse over edit. The last number of the line is the field number.]
Step 5:
Simply go into your item shop and then buy some stuff, and watch it appear in the post bit.
[Note, Custom items should appear too!]
mods can you please move this post to the Itemshop 5 area pwease

I follow everystep in the instruction properly and stuff.....and when I try to browse points.php (Under the /mod dir), all I get was this empty screen (see attachment). Btw, I am using vB 2.2.6.....does the points hack work properly with it? ^_~;;

Are you sure you installed the templates in the all your styles?
