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)

Okay, try this.

Type: bigint
length/values: 20
null: Not Null
default: 15000

That should work. I just tried it out.

Hm, I'm not sure it's not working on mine. I even re-installed the points hack without adding points to anyone, and then changed the userfield in Phpmyadmin. Thanks so much for the help so far though, if you can keep on helping I'd be very greatful.

There's no attributes or extra in yours, is there? I'm using 2.3.0 but that wouldn't make a difference, would it?

I did it via phpmyadmin. I hit browse to see if it worked, not the forum since I am using vb303.

Try this ... add a new field to the userfield table - the one that has the post5 and all that garbage and add one called points with the paramaters I set above:

Type: bigint
length/values: 20
null: Not Null
default: 15000

Save... hit browse ... that field should have the default value for everyone.

If that works, its not hard to change the script to look there instead and I can give you a script to switch everyones points over from fieldx to that one if it works.

Hey, is it possible to give indvidual users access to add/take away points?

Thanks!

[Reeve of shinra]

Create a new usergroup for those users and add thier usergroup to the file. Thats about the only way.

[Alchemist]

Okay, I'll try that, thanks!

will this work for 3.5?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

There is no way a vB2 script will work on vB3.

Okay, I've found a version of this mod for VB3 here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=64316

Is there an updated version to work with 3.5?
