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!

Thanks Mark..

i will add this addon in the release by the end of the day, so everybody can profit from it..

Thanks Mark for your contribution!

I'll set it up once Nex get the core running perfectly!

If the ability to buy gifts for people, run the lottery, and do all the stuff that VBplaza allowed (Change name, title etc), then you'd be onto a winner.

I don't know if this has been suggested, but a good thing to add would be a donation option.

If you don't want to take the time to do it, I will be more than happy to code it for you and send it to you for the next release.

@Deimos... these features are interesting, but not in my own plans... someone will have to code it.

@blockbusted... i'd be more than happy to see someone participate by bringing more addons like the one you suggest... the donations are in the plans, but not 'til i finish with the admin section...
(and debugging the points!)

Nexialys thanks for the work you are doing I would just like to say that. One suggestion I'd like to make if it hasn't been made yet is putting the amount of points a user has in the admincp when you edit a users profile so it can be edited by admin/supermods if need be. Kinda how post count or rep points are in there you can change them or whatever. Again thanks for doing this, I can't wait to see where this add-on goes.

.. the Points Dealer give the admin a flexibility to give points whenever wanted...:

what action to perform: add, strip, multiply, divide
quantity, or value: X

choice of action #1:

• apply on: everybody, members with more than, member with less than
• than what: X points

choice of action #2:

• apply on usergroup X (one usergroup per action - due to serverload!)

Hello, forgive me if I missed a followup post to this.I was wanting to know if this option was still going to be added.I looked through the options after uninstalling and installing 1.0.1 ,but I didn't find anything yet.

it is not finished yet... there was more work to be done than expected, but i'm working on it... actually, 75% of it is done and tested... SEE ATTACHMENT

also, i'm actually updating the release:

1- now you can edit users points in the AdminCP when you edit/add a user.
2- delete thread/post is now permanently fixed... no more tries on it!
3- will add more stuff later!
