User Points System

UPDATE: Code tested on both 2.0.3 and 2.2.0

Install instructions updated to reflect differences in versions.

Ability to specify Text values for points directly added.
=====================

As requested in this thread ( http://vbulletin.org/forum/showthrea...threadid=23114 )

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)

Does this work with 2.2.9?

Valerie, you can make a small but seperate script to query the points for a usergroup and have it display the results. Should be simple, though unfortunately I do not have time to do it.

Partanq2 - so far this works with VB 2.0.3 through the most recent. We'll see what happens for vb3.

How to make changes of this hack: not moderators, but all users can get points each others, but only one during a day and only if he has point >0...?

Points: [-] 22 [+] ...?

Valerie, attached is maybe what you want.

Excuse me its probably not the best way to do it but since this is my first hack :: shrug ::

Its currently set up to display only groups that have been added by yourselves (where the groupid > 7) and is accessible only from the admincp.

Anyway, hope it works.... tested it on 2.2.9 and seems to be okay

I know the HousePoints.php file should be in the admin directory but I started it in the mod one and then could not be bothered to change it

Hey, GREAT script! Very easy to install and use.

For the Mas Points feature, is there a way to give ALL users a number of points. I tried a wildcard, but it doesn't work. Possible?

[lifesourcerec]

This is something additional, but I was wondering is there a way to add something like Top 10 Point Users or something.. It's probably something like top thread starters or something like that. Sounds simple, but I'm no programmer.

[lifesourcerec]

Traded adding a Top 10 hack (provided by Erwin), but it only recognizes the first number and looks at the second, etc. number(s) as decimals. Dunno why.

Did anyone get it to not show the points field for mods and admins in the postbit? If so, could someone post or PM me the step by steps on that? My mods have no need for points and I made the change to INT to give everyone default points so I can't do the n/a
