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!

ok, for the requests:

# * Post Thank You Hack hooks: (same for the Post Groan Hack!) by Abe1 u=49809
# nex_points_hook_give_thanks = give X points on thank given
# nex_points_hook_give_thanked = give X points on thank received

i'm testing the logic and will release later!

also:

vBux import will be quick... a simple product import will do the trick... because that hack is efficient.. lol i'll check for it in a minute!

EDIT: the Thank You Hack will require 3 of more plugin editions, i will see with Abe1 if hooks can be added to his script...

EDIT: For the Postbit/Postbit_legacy display of points ("BASIC"), see the screenshot and wait for the update later this evening! that display is basic, and is without template edit... for a larger addon, like "give points to user", we will have to re-evaluate!

awesome once the postbit is done I will be set and I will use the ishop addon I am sure thanks for this system!

about the vBux/vbPlaza IMPORT script, i have one challenge here... someone can provide me with the script ?!... i do not have it in store, and the guys forgot they had hundreds of clients, they dropped the file...

thanks... i can't do an import script 'til i have the original!

EDIT: THANKS FOR THE DONATION... someone provided me with the script, and i was able to write a code for the import... will have to test it for mega-big websites, but the script is actually working properly, and will do two things:

1- import your cash from vBbux in your in-hand for my product...
2- import your bank cash from vBbux in your in-bank for my product...

i can't do more..

[Evolution06]

Hmmm your points works off the

PHP Code:

                     <div>
                    $vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
                </div> 


How could I keep it working without that code? Cause it looks kinda funny have 2 post on my postbit the activity mod and the default post.

hum, yeah, with multiple addons it may cause problems... the fix: i'll provide a template edition.. lol

UPDATE: you can re-import the product, i've updated with a new setting for the postbit...

go to the : Nexia's Points System - Main Posting Features, in the bottom, there is a HowTo when you don't want the automatic edition...

list of planned connections with existing products:

vBbux Import Cash and Bank... (90% done as a product import..)
Geek Mart - Points to Buy, Buy Points via Paypal ... (both done!)

Whoa, promising. And free!

Alright that worked I had to use

$those_points: $post[nex_points_hand]

But it did work.. Awesome! thanks! Now to configure it.. I notice it says 0 points in bank is that created or a work in progress?

it is a work in progress actually, we're checking if Blaine0002 will provide a link to his iBank... it is supposed to work, i did not test it... but it is one of these things i will not create... coders are requested to provide their own works to bring this tool to be great, and Blaine0002 is the first..

[Hornstar]

There is so much you could do with this, that I look forward to watching the progress and updates.

However, for me to ever install this, I would really love an import option so i could import the points from current members (ebux points system) over to this one.

If that was possible, then this would be the points system, I would like to get up and running, to show members they have not lost there points, and that the shop will be available shortly.

Thanks.
