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!

You should add something that allows me to only do x users at a time, like doa global deal to 100 users at a time, then the page refreshes for the next 100, etc.

yeah, i thought of that... i may add this later... actually i documented about this, and i just have to edit the main query to make it safe for all servers... i just forgot to do so.. lol

Also it would be great if there's a tracking of user's point history in their userCP or something. (ie: donation given.. points deducted..) this is useful so there will be no dispute among users and admins..

just my 2 cents of suggestions!

no no, this is not 2cents... it is more like the question of 1 million $$$... lol

that's why i added hooks everywhere in the system... in no long (when i have time to work on it, and some budget to develop more tools) i will add a log/tracker for any action needed... based on adminCP settings, we can track about any action, and better, these actions can bring profits:
for each amount placed in the bank(later use), you will have benefits applied for each amounts, not for the total... exactly like in real-life banks.

these are features for the future... i need to feed my kids first, so if this goes to slow, that's because i had to grab some jobs!

Sweeet my 2 cents were worth a million! yayyy!!

One more request: Is it possible to integrate the minimum word counts with your points?

Min wordcount plugin: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144474

This allows the user that put in say... 10 words or more to be awarded points.. which is fair.. as it gives reward them for their effort in posting!

sure.. they were deleted because the system does not make the difference between files and screenshots... so here are some, that are useful:

screenshots:
1: edit user in adminCP
2: make a global deal
3: interupt message before you do the process
4: deal infos (each deal have docs)
5: postbit-legacy display of points without template edit (automatic)
6: profile display of points without template edit
7: search by criterias, same kind like when you search users in adminCP
8: usergroup deal with infos
