Re: Evolution-X Money/Points System Changelog 1.0.0 Initial Release. 1.1.0 Feature Release. - Released on June 28th, 2010.
Re: Evolution-X Money/Points System Excellent, Ryan. Are you planning to work on a store too? Or is there a method of integrating this into any existing store product that you're aware of?
Re: Evolution-X Money/Points System Some Store products allow you to choose what field they pull the money from. But, yes, I have a Store created, however it's intertwined with the rest of my custom stuff, so it's not fit for deployment anywhere other than my forum, so I'm building a new one.
Re: Evolution-X Money/Points System Awesome! I know a few (thousand) people who would love a stable store hack.
A feature request if theyre being taken and if it hasnt been implemented, the ability to show the total point count in the postbit, we could definitely use this with that
If I weren't using vBCredits on both my sites, I would definitely use this, its much simpler, and will definitely use it for future projects..
Clarify "donations." Also, Azh, you're running 3.8.4, no? I started working on the 4.x version already, but I'll move it over to 3.8 if that's the case, and develop them semi-side by side, giving the more popular version preference. In regards to the Mod, yes. There are Donate links throughout the product. Including in Posts, in the Profile, and a link in the Community menu that takes you to a a form where you input a users name, then it takes you tot he regular donate form. If you mean Donating to me, then my Paypal is ryan.ashbrook [at] gmail.com Also, I am taking feature requests. I have a few things in my head for 1.1, but not enough to quantify a full release yet. ---------- Post added 22-02-2010 at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was 21-02-2010 at 11:40 PM ---------- Oh, also, if you need a converter written to move from a different points system to this one, let me know and i'll see what i can do for you.
Ryan if you need access to the suite let me know I have vb4.0 suite and can give you access to my test site for you to look into development if you want (just an offer).
That's what I meant. Feeding the starving artists and all that. I've added this to a new forum my buddy roped me into. Indeed. I think it's still the most popular version of vB. I installed 4, then uninstalled it and installed 3.8 instead. There's a few things that would be good to have integrated into this such as the video directory (posting new vids and comments). Also, I remember in a different version of a credits hack you could set different forums to have different values. E.G. posting in on topic forums earned more points. Posting in off topic got you less. Final suggestion, an Admin donate. So that the admin could donate any amount (rather than just what they earned).
Expanding on this, I'll code an API method that will allow myself and others to easily extend it into things such as this. Right now it's pretty easy to do so, but you'd either have to know SQL or Copy and Paste from the other plugins. Then I can push out more products that extend the main one, for things such as the Video Directory. The API will also allow you to easily define whether or not the Points Alteration adds to their total, or subtracts from it. Ahh, indeed. Noted. Technically, this is already possible. Go to your Admin CP > Users > Pick your User > In the right column you should see a block that allows you to alter the Users Points, as well as what they have in the Bank. However, a system to easily Add or Subtract from either a specific users total amount, or Mass Adding/Subtracting, wouldn't be hard at all, especially if I do it after the Points Alteration API I mentioned above.
