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!

I wrote something that you can add to the core product.

#############################################
Open: hooks_nex_points.xml
Find:

</hooks>

Above Add:

<hooktype type="nex_navbar">
		<hook>nex_points_navbar_add_link</hook>
	</hooktype>

#############################################
Add a new plugin for: parse_templates
Add this code

$nex_create_link = array();

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('nex_points_navbar_add_link')) ? eval($hook) : false;

foreach($nex_create_link as $links)
{
  $nex_navbar_links .= $links;
}

#############################################
In the "navbar" template
Find:

<if condition="$show['popups']">

After Add:

<if condition="!empty($nex_navbar_links)">	
<td id="nexlinksmenu" class="vbmenu_control">
    <a href="#">Nexia's Point System</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("nexlinksmenu");
    </script>
</td>	
</if>

Find:

<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

After Add:

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="nexlinksmenu_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">Nexia's Point System</td>
        </tr>
$nex_navbar_links
</table>
</div>

I'll show you how to write a custom link to be displayed in the drop down menu on my next post.

[harmor19]

Add a new plugin for: nex_points_navbar_add_link
Here are some examples.

$nex_create_link[] = "<tr><td class='vbmenu_option'>
<a href='http://xenweb.net'>Xen Web Hosting</a>
</td>
</tr>";

$nex_create_link[] = "<tr><td class='vbmenu_option'>
<a href='http://vbulletin.org'>vBulletin.org</a>
</td>
</tr>";

If you are writing an add-on you can easily add a link in the drop down menu.

hum, please, harmor19, if you have addons to produce, would you mind sending them to me in a pm, so i can add them as a release, because your example may trouble the persons who are not really into coding...

I wrote it for you to add to the core product.

Could you please add an icash import for the product? Or is it already possible, if it is, please tell me how it will work. Because uninstalling icash will remove the point field then my members will lose all their points.

[apthost]

Can you put into it as a feature, the ability to create random things and when a person reaches the required number of points an email will be sent to the administrator and then the person can give that person what he or she gets and then be given a link to subtract those points from his or her account.

not complicated, i will try to fix the vBBux importer to import iCash in a sole importer...

this is not in my shelf right now. this request is more a request for a new tool, not really a new functioanlity in the core of the points system...

you can post that kind of requests here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=112

How would I change the postbit so instead of it displaying:
Cash: 0.00$
Display:
Cash: $0.00
