Visit sponsor for points version 1.1- Lesane store addon · **Released**: 09-28-2002

New Version 1.2

Added feature to restrict members from visiting sponsors once per day. Download is below with instructions on how to upgrade

This hack was request not too long ago by someone. I don't know who, but I decided to alter my original working on this so that other vb site's could use it.

Essentially this allows member to visit sponsors of your choice to earn points toward whatever your site may use points for. You can control how many hits a sponsor can have to their site, etc. It was designed to work with the Lesane store hack and credit must be given to eiSecure for alot of the back bone behind this hack. I originally designed this to work with his contest add-on hack. So that websites could sponsor contests. But after seeing a request for this type of hack I decided to finish a stand alone version. So some of the coding is from the contest hack.

This hack should install pretty simply. It has been tested and functions properly. However if you have any problems I'll be more than happy to help.

Also feel free to PM me with any ideas or suggestions. Like everything with me I still deem it as work in progress.

mewgood · #6 10-07-2002, 12:48 AM

how come when I click the adminsponsor.php it turns out a blank page?

GeorgeofCS · #7 10-07-2002, 10:12 AM

Sorry about that forgot one step

in the admin/index.php find

PHP Code:


			
makenavoption("Add","announcement.php?action=add","|");

makenavoption("Modify","announcement.php?action=modify");

makenavselect("Announcements");

add this after it

PHP Code:


			
makenavoption("Add","adminsponsor.php?action=newsponsor","|");

makenavoption("Modify","adminsponsor.php?action=modifysponsor", "|");

makenavselect("Sponsors");

I've find the readme file as well

is it possible to limit the user the number of clicks a day?

Be aware that some advertisers disallow incentivized clicks in their TOS because their ads are no longer targeted, so make sure you read the license agreement you have with your advertiser.

I'm working on that tid bit and hope to have it shortly with a few other tweaks. I'm attempting to figure out an easy way to do this, but I'm having some problems figuring out exactly how to do it.

Erwin did bring up a good point some advertisers don't allow incentive clicks. I personally use things that are related to the site or advertisers that specifically know they are being used in this manner. Also for my board members I'm looking into ways for them to use points to buy sponsorships to send people to their site.
