Money extension

thunder

Antoine What I meant is, are you able to simply redo the extension but make it for infractions? I'm sure some people would like that on their boards. That way we can have both a points and infractions system.

staion

thunder you mean Warning system? Like most other forum systems have?

thunder

staion Pretty much

I seem to be having difficulty enabling the extension. When enabled, only the admin page seems to work correctly. Any suggestions on resolving this issue? I only have this and the default extension with beta6 installed.

jace nevermind, forgot to clear cache. Carry on.

The money value do not display to the left. I have disabled and enable the extension and i have clear flarum php cache. A idea ? Thank you

Antoine

LuffyyffuL What did you put in the field "Money name" in administration ?

LuffyyffuL

Antoine I have put "$", "€", "MonkeyDCoin", but for all, i haven't number, it's empty :/

Antoine

LuffyyffuL You should add {money} in the field, where you want to display the money (for example : {money} Points. )

Antoine Ahh, it's ok now, thank you very munch ?

Hello, for the first activation, can you automatically update money line for all user ?

Example for id "1" :

select count() FROM posts WHERE user_id = 1 AND type='comment';
select count() FROM discussions WHERE start_user_id = 1;

( ( $result_posts - $result_discussions ) * 5 ) + ( $result_discussions * 10 ) = money

I started the layout of the Ranking page, I have to make the api endpoints to get the user list now !

LuffyyffuL It is a good idea, I can also add a button to synchronize the money with the posts count because not every forum owner wants to have 5 money for a post and 10 for a discussion when they enable this extension.
If you need it right now, you can update the column money in the users table with your queries.

Antoine Do you also plan to include a season thing too?
So, I'd love to have a season leaderboard too. Say last 30 days who is topping the charts and that can be used to award those new members for their wonderful contribution. So we'll have both charts - Top earners (all time) and Top earners (this season). Season can be of n number of days/weeks as decided by the admin.

Otherwise, usually the top money earners will always stay at the top because they started off first.

Antoine

singhnsk With the current code it will be difficult to have both rankings because for now there's no history of earned points, so you can't know when the user got the points. But if I add an history, I'll be able to propose such rankings.

I am currently integrating the "Likes" extension to give money when a post is liked.
I will also add some code to remove points if a post/topic/like is deleted.

Antoine Ha, Is it coming soon ? ?

Antoine Thank you! Hopefully you'll make it a great plugin soon enough ?

Love this!

But doesn't it encourage spam by having it give money for every single discussion or post someone posts? ?

singhnsk

[deleted] doesn't it encourage spam

Probably not for small forums where you want to encourage engagement by offering some rewards. Larger communities might not need it, but it can be useful to create leaderboards. Some members do seek recognition and this can be a good way to encourage their contribution ?
Spam can be controlled by mods. @Antoine I hope the plugin does revoke points for the posts which are deleted or something...

@Antoine Hi bud,
While testing the plugin, I had an issue with Akismet key, so every submitted post got an error and it was not accepted. However the plugin still gave money to this user for the 13 posts he actually wasn't able to post. He just kept pressing the 'Post' button again and again.
It seems that the plugin is recording the money for the post even before the post is actually accepted into the forum. It's okay for now, but someday, somebody will input a spam comment into the form and keep pressing the submit button. Akismet will continue to stop it, but the user will earn his money ?

Antoine

singhnsk The problem is if the admin doesn't have the Approval extension, it will never give money to users if I use the events related to this extension.

singhnsk For now, it doesn't remove the points if the post/discussion is deleted but I will fix it today.
Edit : I pushed some modifications to GitHub

Antoine you can check if an extension is enabled by loading ExtensionManager in your code via IoC, an example of such an implementation:

https://github.com/flagrow/byobu/blob/7c2677b158d58bab75bacbb1b37cfb4f02b8deee/src/Traits/ProvidesAccess.php#L39
https://github.com/flagrow/byobu/blob/7c2677b158d58bab75bacbb1b37cfb4f02b8deee/src/Access/DiscussionPolicy.php#L27

Or you can ioc bind the Flarum Settings Repository and read the right field related to the extensions installed.
