Nexia's POINTS system · **Released**: 03-28-2007

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!

Hello, I just installed and read through the previous posts and still having a problem.The points system is working for replies,but not on new threads.

I had changed the name "points" to "loyalties" .I don't know if that has something to do with it or not.

Any help is appreciated and thanks for this awesome mod.

I'm sure it will get fixed soon.

4) Integrate this with the Thanks System (e.g. receive a Thanks, get a Point)
5) When a member has received so many points, they are "promoted" to another usergroup.

agree, especially on PayPal integration -

Looks awesome, cant wait for more devloped versions!

Nexialys -

I want to add my voice to the chorus thanking you for making this.

I hope and expect you will be accepting donations/contributions for this because it's definitely a lot of work and you are obviously investing a lot of your time and serious effort into it.

Thanks and I am playing around with it now.

[Edited to add the few little feature-wishes below]

More important:

- X points on VIEWS of authored threads (as in, the person who starts the thread gets points when the thread is viewed; a traffic credit, essentially)

- Display points in user's public profile (I suspect I can add this myself)

Less important:

- Display graphics/medals/stars/badges of some kind to indicate levels of point accumulation

- Allow use of decimals in awards/multipliers such as 0.02 points etc (one can obviously work around this by inflating their currencies, but decimals make for easier and more precise tweaking of the currency, especially as you add more credit/debit event variables)

:up:

Great suggestions guys!

#88 03-31-2007, 11:23 AM

Ok, thanks for the echoes ... and for the bug reports... (i like bug reports when they are solid!)

... i'll check the error about the "new thread" that is not given...
... after a load of requests, decimals will be allowed...

Extensions of features like the paypal integration are to be developped by external coders, not me... and they will be provided in the section "Addons"... because i will continue to release this script as a basic version... Paypal integration is already possible, the bug is that the Geek Mart have to be purchased on The Geek's website...
(remember the logic: if people buy points via paypal, that brings you profit... if you have profits, you are able to pay for a well coded software...)

In the next hours i will add some hooks to the system, in a Addon:
Addon #1: Paid Per View - Will pay members when they read threads.
Addon #2: Pay to Post - Will require the members to pay with points when creating/replying/viewing threads.

these addons can be expanded to any kind of feature, like the Calendar, Glossary, etc... these addons are a bit more complicated because they require to edit some permission per forum, and maybe per usergroups too...

actually, there is some rebuild to be done, because these features are to be seperate (if needed) in more precise sections, that'S why the script continue to be in BETA!!!

@acitrano... i never refuse donations... i don't suggest them, but you are all free... lol

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
