this product is now GOLD ... version 1.0.1 !

SCREENSHOTS >>>>>>>>>

(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!

I would tell you to goto the shop and buy some new fonts, but we dont have one! *Ba-doom-pshh* >_< I find my self amusing.

hum, i would tell you that it's vb.org's fault... the screenshot is minimized to fit the proportions of image width...

can you just stay on topic a little, so we have less spam... i will have to ask the moderator to drop all your comments if you continue...

Hi Nex,

I tested the deduction thingy and it's still not working =(

Removing of individual thread and posts worked perfectly..

but as I mentioned if the threads has post in there.. and admin delete the whole thread, the thread starter points get minus more than usual (she was deducted 0.5 (current) - (0.5 0.2) = You actually have -0.02 $ in hand!!!

Hmm.. what's happening?

smoookey... damn, negative values...

did you update lately ?!... i thought it was ok with the new version, i will make a last check.

[milsirhc]

and..

I can see a huge problem is that if a user keep spamming the board (and encountered a spam flood error), the points will still be given to the poster even though the thread is not physically on the board!!

I can see this being exploit by people who keep hitting the reply button.. man oh mannn!

[milsirhc]

yup, came home.. uninstall the version I have and redownload and install again. Setup everything from scratch but still having the same problem...

for the spamming thing, can't do more... the hook is installed after the post is posted, this can't be controled...if you have spam floods, points or not you will have problems, i think it is not related to the system here...

[milsirhc]

hmm.. okay.. i just thought someone could have exploit this and get massive points a day..

any luck with the points deduction thingy?

[Luky]

Fine i wont post in this thread unless i must.

Here's a little hack/mod to get the points to be displayed in the profile.

First: Goto the plugins section in your ACP and click [Add New Plugin] at the bottom.

Secondly: Fill in the fields with the information below:
Product: Nexia's Points System
Hook Location: member_complete
Title: Shows Points in Members Profile
Execution Order: 1 (or just leave it as it is)
Plugin PHP Code:

$userinfo['nex_points_hand'] = vb_number_format($vbulletin->userinfo['nex_points_hand'], $vbulletin->options['nex_points_currency_decimal']) . $vbulletin->options['nex_points_currency_name_symbol'];

Plugin is Active: Yes

Then click the Save button

Thirdly: In the ACP goto Styles & Templates and goto Style Manager. Then do this for each theme:
Select a theme and then click the dropdown box beside it which says All Style Options and then click Edit Templates.

Now in the listfield to your right, find the Member Info Templates item and expand it by double clicking on it. Then when the page reloads double click on the MEMBERINFO item.

When the page loads again, you should now see a big chunk of code. In it find:

				<tr>
					<td>
						$vbphrase[total_posts]: <strong>$userinfo[posts]</strong> (<phrase 1="$postsperday">$vbphrase[x_posts_per_day]</phrase>)
					</td>
				</tr>

Or something similar depending on how much hacking your forum has

And then directly below that last </tr> add:

				<tr>
					<td>
						Points: <strong>$userinfo[nex_points_hand]</strong>
					</td>
				</tr>

Now click the Save button.

This worked for me and I hope it will work for you
