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)

You can find the vb3 version here

Some of the changes can be fairly easilly back-ported for those that are interested in doing so.

You edit the TEMPLATE called POSTBIT in the TEMPLATE manager which is located in the AdminCP

Sorry to bring this up again, but it hasn't been answered. I have no idea how I would go about doing this myself.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cpheader() in /home/shankwh/public_html/main/forum/points.php on line 19

I dont believe this hack would cause that but double check how you installed it to make sure you didn't miss something.

Hey,

A few months ago I requested something, I stopped working with vBulletin, but now I'm working at another forum and need the hack again.

I want to be able to display how many points a usergroup has, as well as how many points a user has without having to check in their profile. Maybe somewhere in the admincp? Do you think you guys have the time to figure out how to do this? If you can, thanks. If you can't, thanks anyways.

[Reeve of shinra]

Add $post[field5] where the field # is the one you created for points and add that to your postbit or just about anywhere else. It will show you how many points they have.

On a usergroup level, you will need to write a query for that.

Another thing. If I were to want to show who had the most points, in my case, "Richest People", what would I need to do that? I was going to look at Lesane's store hack for any kind of hints cause you can see who the top 10 richest people in that, yet, now I have no idea. Would I need to run a query or something?

By the way, what does the mass points function do?

To enable it, simply uncomment the code block.
The comment delimiters are on lines 27 and 77.

And can you point out where this is?

[Reeve of shinra]

Lets say you ran a contest nad you need to give a hundred people points, you would put thier username and the amount of points with the mass points feature to make your life a little easier.

yes you will need to run a query to find the top 10 richest people, buts its a simple one.
