Money extension

singhnsk

@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 ?

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

singhnsk

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

[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 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.

Requests: Maybe look at blocking registration of usernames containing words on that list? Or a separate list (e.g. you might want to block someone from registering with admin in their name, but not restrict someone from writing admin in their post).

As for moderator emails, I wouldn't do that (because you could cause a site to be tagged a spammer by submitting multiple posts with filtered words on purpose and triggering emails). It'd be better to inform users as they try to post instead with a red error bar, and not let the post be submitted. Or tap into the Approval mod to auto-unapprove any post that the filter flags, Flag it and let moderators choose to approve it or delete it.

Btw, you should also require flarum-ext-flags in your composer.json if you're going to use Flags.

EDIT (and quoting to save time and properly source my answer):

You might want to check that Approval and Flags are enabled before calling their actions, too, just to stop errors.

v0.4.0

When a discussion or a post is deleted, it removes the points to the user.
Now it removes the points to the right user ?

Updating

composer update antoinefr/flarum-ext-money
php flarum cache:clear

If it doesn't work, try to disable and enable the extension.

Antoine

I tried:

composer update
composer update antoinefr/flarum-ext-money
php flarum cache:clear

I tried enabling and disabling the extension. It still stuck on 0.30.
I had to remove and re-require the extension in order for it to update.

composer remove antoinefr/flarum-ext-money
composer require antoinefr/flarum-ext-money

Dunno if its just me. I am also unable to uninstall an extension from the flarum admin panel. I get a 500 error. So I just use composer.

Thanks again!

Antoine It is so cool!

Hello, I have a question, or maybe a suggestion?

I installed the money extension on my forum and I also plan having members open their own "custom graphics/themes" shop and use the in-forum currency for it. The only way I could think of to withdraw money from users is to create a separate group for the shop owners and they take the amount of money from the customer member's profile.

Would there be a way that members themselves can transfer money to another user? Maybe something like this?

hello,

is there anyway to reset money extention plugin..

I need Start competition .... Daily basis winner

so i need reset it daily ?
can i do it ? so how to reset money data ?

Thnk you

Antoine

Demon Hello, you can go to your database and in the table users, there is a field named money. You can manually set it to 0, as there's currently no way to reset the money from the website.
You can also run a query like UPDATE users SET money = 0; to reset every user.

Antoine do you mind messaging me on gitter @ issyrocks12 or on discord @ CDK2020#9728

thanks this is what i need. But could u add reset button in admin?

darkfox

I have a idea for your extension. You can add a Button with text like "Rate" and can add money (1,5,10,15) to specific post

Antoine

darkfox I planned to use the Likes extension to give money to the post owner when a post is liked.

Reinhard For now my extension only supports 1 currency, which you can name as you want in the admin panel.
Thanks for you idea to support multiple currency, I will keep it in mind for the next update ?

Reinhard

I would like to collaborate with an idea for the extension.

It would be nice to see a "Tip Post" button next to the "Like" button of each forum member post, and if the information or content of your thread or post is of quality, then those members who find it useful, Important, or the like. They will give you "Tip Post". Tip posts should be specific amounts determined by the community administrator from the admin panel. It may be that in a community giving a "Tip Post" is worth 200 coins, in other communities is 10,000 coins, it is a matter of community.

One question: How many different currencies can your extension hold? I consider that they should put the capacity to support 3 different currencies at the same time, that is to say, if I have its extension installed and in my community there are 3 different currencies:

Copper: Ordinary currency
Silver: Ordinary currency of higher level (1 silver = 10,000 copper)
Gold: Special currency (1 gold = 10,000 silver)

In my case I would do it in my community, but there must be the tools and options for everyone to configure their community as they want, be it 3 different currencies, 2 different currencies or just one. In my case, in my community I would put this configuration:

Open Thread: 100 Copper - 3 Silver
Post a message: 75 coppers - 1 silver
Its thread became popular (+30 messages): 250 copper - 5 silver
Complete your profile (all information required): 1000 Copper - 25 Silver - 5 Gold
etc...

But in my community gold would be a special currency, there would be very few ways to get gold like events, missions, special tasks, or buy gold packages with real money (dollars, euro, pounds) etc ...

But I think the point is understood, the idea is that its extension can support at most 3 different currencies. And that the configurations and options necessary for the customization of the community exist to the taste of the administrator. There will be communities with only one coin, others with 2 different currencies and others with 3 different currencies.

My english is bad, i use a translator. I'm sorry

Prosperous

I can see how that would be useful in a number of communities to be honest... Great thinking.

Antoine I planned to use the Likes extension to give money to the post owner when a post is liked.

Only as an option, please. Trading could invoke a lot personal ego issues on many boards. I have seen people fight like monkeys for likes alone.

Antoine

meetdilip It would be like the money for a post or a discussion, if you want to disable it you can put 0 in the field "money given" for this kind of action.

collins

@Antoine Could you add a feature where a minimum number of characters is required in a post to earn a monetary value? This should prevent people from bumping and posting annoying stuff just to accumulate money points.

I would suggest that to earn a money per post your post character count shouldn't be less than 100 for example.
I believe this will make a forum more engaging and have useful content.

AngelAvila

collins I'd complement that request by saying it would be awesome if there was a textfield where we could type and choose the amount of characters we want as minimum for our users to earn money. Nice suggestion!

Antoine

collins It would be quite easy to add, I'll put it on my TODO-list ?

@collins and AndiGilang It won't be done in this extension, maybe I'll create one which provides a place to buy some items with your money or even buy money with real money but that's not what I will do first.
A leaderboard is planned but it asks more code than other features.

SierraKiloGulf I'll add support for the Likes extension before and after I'll see if I could integrate other extensions.

SierraKiloGulf

And perhaps options to work with both the Likes and Gamification Extensions? I know the Likes was in your plans, but support for Gam would be amazing too!
