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!

It's more for developers. I wrote it for Nexialys to add to his core product.
I'll explain what it would be used for. Let's say someone made an add-on and like some hacks it has a link you add to the navbar. To keep everything centralized the developer can just add their link in the drop down menu.

harmor's tool will be VERY useful in no long... remember: shop, bank, lottery...

for now his gadget is in stand by because i will release a new update in a day or two, and his addon will be injected in the CORE (not the SDK, core directly!)... so everybody willing to create new addons for this system will be able to add new navigation elements without forcing someone to edit their template... and better: i edit harmor's addon by giving you the chance to "no-need-to-edit-template" as it is my usual... :

Yeah, please add this option in the next release.

hum, it is not normal to have this reaction... it is related to the Import System, not my hack... you can try by reimporting again...

I am sorry to announce that this hack will not be supported anymore.

due to the late events regarding my own behavior on vB.org, it was decided that this tool was to be deleted and my own account suspended...

sorry if you can't have more tools answering your needs, i will not be able to provide anymore hacks to you even if it was planned to release the Bank and the Donation/Gifts system in the next 48 hours.

--nexia!

Can anyone explain to me what's happened???

you are not to discuss this thing in public. if you want to discuss this, contact the administration.

What Happen???

[acitrano]

I would think I speak for many when I say we're extremely curious to know more about what happened. Many of us had great hopes for this add-on.

Will the product be available from you / supported by you directly? i.e. Is this just a vb.org dispute? Or is the product itself going bye-bye? I hope not. I mean, almost 100 installs in two weeks certainly shows promise, and a real need.
