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!

Has anyone integrated this with the ibPro Arcade yet?? I think the addon is being worked on but I was just wondering!! I am dying for a cash system to run the arcade!!!

Can anyone help?

I downloaded this mod the other day and it works fine....but I just read that there may have been an update to allow changing or altering the points manually in AdminCP for each user. This would be great although I cant see it in my version installed 2 days ago.

Do i need to uninstall and download and install the zipped mod again at the top of this page (if its been updated) or is the reference to viewing points in user management something that is still being worked on?

I wont uninstall meantime. Thanks.

He just updated it few mins ago to do that...download the new one and import the new product click overwrite when you do so...it will give you the option to edit manually in admincp.

Excal,

WOW! That was a FAST reply! Thanks!!! Off to do that right now. Sorry about being a bit of a nub here....but hey...im using THE best mods and in THE best thread!!

[Excal]

I just saw you said you installed it the other day....you might have to re-upload the xml in the includes folder, I'm not sure if he updated that since you installed it or not. So you might be better off uploading it also just to make sure.

please don't overwhelm yourself with this mod..

[paulvev]

Ive only installed Nex points and Nex points attachments which work great and i understand this ok. However, Ive not installed Nex Points VBbux yet. This looked a littel tricker for a nub like me.

Can anyone give me a very brief guide to what the VBbux zip file does once installed?! Thanks in advance.

Did you ever think of reading the HowTo.txt file yet ?!

it will import your vBbux points... if you don't know what is vBbux, forget about it!

[paulvev]

OK I'll forget about VBbux. There seems to be a lot of negative posts regarding that mod on other threads.

For now though, your latest update shows "Cash in Hand" and "Cash in Bank" at the bottom of each users profile in Admincp.

My forum shows "Cash/points (in hand)" on each post and in UserCP. Is there any way of also showing "Cash in Bank" on each post and in User CP? I plan to manually delete some of "Cash in Hand" and move to "Cash in Bank" when I pay people. Thanks again. Keep up the good work. I really AM learning!

The cash in bank is for the Bank system that is coming up soon... you wil lbe able to manage such points later on...
