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!

hahaa! okayy!! send my regards to your wife!!! Tell her that her hubby is an important man in vbulletin.org and he is wanted by everyone! =P

One more feature I hope we can have is that points will only be allocated to the member if they post/thread is consider of quality (ie: 10 words or more!)

I hope to hear from you soon my friend!! ciao!

just me, just me... that's enough.. lol... too much people in my living room would be too crowdy when the kids are around...

actually, like on every project, the coders are waiting for a really stable version before working on addons etc... i suppose they are waiting.. lol

Or maby they are just down right slack and lazy? :P

Well, im very novice PHP, can do graphics when following a tut but im extremely active, love to talk and love forums. I hate money but, its evil and somehow always runs away from me Im 16 and already about 400$ in debt!!! But if you can think of a way i can help you in any way, let me know

i was 16, once... i don't remember that much, i think it was one day before i got 17... lol... i think i know what its like... my old memories are weak.

btw, thanks for the offer, but i usually work alone, i never "hire" someone for a task... if you have something to bring, you're welcome, other ways, i think you're better appreciate what comes to you freely...

[milsirhc]

I'm a computer scientist but I never did like doing programming for a job. For hobby wise, i'm cool with that.

I don't think I can help you much Nex, except for doing bug test on your plugin! Hope that helps!

[giovannicosta]

Thankd for the update I will help you beta test all your plugins + products
