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!

the "Support Developer" link on the first post is what you need ?!

EDIT: vbBux import is successful... i'll be writing an import script by the morning so before noon i'll be able to provide a working import script that will not stress your forums... and you will be able to deactivate vbBux after that. (don't delete right away, maybe you will regret it!)

as i have the script in hand, i will try to provide as much hooks as possible replicating the behavior inside vbBux... so the places where the points were gained/lost, etc... i'm not duplicating the system, i'm locating where it was used before and will apply my API to it... (the API will come later today too! - remember, this is a BETA script)

hey, your comment in the payment is useless... it's already too much... i did not require a single penny for this job, i coded it for my own personal profits anyway... i will do a lot of business with this script..

thanks anyway... lol :

ok, next step/plan today:

release the next version, with the hooks so the coders here can add permissions etc to the gadget
release the API so coders can add the points system to other tools
feed the kids!!

And make money you should, I'm just helping. I don't care the reason, thank you for stepping up to this.

Looks very nice nexialys,
Thanks and *install

but will wait for final version...hope it will be out soon

Good Luck

the first final will be up this evening, because the only thing that is actually in need is the vbBux importer, and i'm stressing the script now to see if it works...

after that, i'll add the addons via products, or plugins, not updates... the more features it would have, the heavier it would be and useless... the core is simple, the features will be added as plugins.
