Money extension

AndiGilang

maybe.. build some marketplace, like buy avatar or virtual item

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.

@Antoine. Another suggestion. I think there should be some sort of permissions in place to define or restrict which tags or topics that members can earn money from. There are situations where it may not be necessary to enable money for members on some tags or discussions.

I hope my suggestion is clear enough.

Also, I hope to see a leaderboard feature to enable admin see to earners.
Lastly, I would also like to know if its possible to add a payment API that can automatically handle money redeeming requests. Once you reach your payout point, members can redeem their pay by clicking some button or stuff like that.

Antoine Just checking to know when the next update will be coming. I hope my suggestions would be put into great consideration. Money extension is a powerful tool and I hope you get to do more work on it. Danke

Idea: option in admincp where we can change the money of all the users AT THE SAME TIME. multiplying x(EXAMPLE). (where EXAMPLE can be any number, ex 0.5)
The idea is to use this when we change the values of the money given by the publications, likes, etc, and we need to change all the money given previously

This is really great, are you still working on this Antoine? I have some thoughts on how a currency should be created and this is a big part of what I want to create with my community:

The currency should be scarce, but the quantity in circulation should also increase with the number of users.
Users need to be able to trade with each other freely with prices set by the market.
Community currency cannot be exchanged for 'real money' (at least within the community), if you want money, you have to earn it.

That's basically it. With this in mind, I'd like to propose the following features:

Automatic payment to new users
Referrals, or option to make payment to another user on sign-up
Transfer of funds between users, e.g. 'tipping' of posts

What do you guys think?

v0.5.0

You can add a minimum length for a post to give money in the extension settings.
I also updated the code to the new namespaces in the next-back branch.

Updating

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

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

When I will have a bit more time, I will add some code to give money to users when they register.
For your 2 other suggestions, it requires more development, and I won't do it now.
By the way, thanks for your ideas ?

drdonzo

Antoine Thanks for getting back to me, I'm very excited to have this feature. I'd be happy to discuss my ideas if you are interested. Do you have a forum where you use this extension or did you just develop it for fun?

Antoine

drdonzo I have a test forum on my computer but no public one. I develop this because I think it would be useful if I ever open a forum. It's also a good way to improve my PHP skills ?

drdonzo Antoine devflarum has the money extension installed for testing.

Antoine Keep up the good work as this is an extension that I search for my communities almost 99% of the time. Definitely useful and many will benefit from it.

Medo

Thank you ?

Money + User Customization Shop extension = GOLD ?

duman

Antoine I have an idea. Back in the day there was an extension for vBulletin called as "market". Combined with money extension. Market had items such as "create your own tag", "kick a moderator", "ban a user", "colored username", "username change right" etc. wouldn't it be cool if users could spend their money? ?

Edit: Just realised many other people suggested it. wow haha.

Sanguine

Antoine Thanks for making this! You might want to update the icon setting in composer.json, as your extension is currently the only one with a transparent background. See this composer example of an icon with background.

Antoine

danielperez9430 In the settings, you should add the tag {money} where you want the amount to be shown.

I would absolutely love this if the point system could be the basis and criteria of a locked download system, where if you have X amount of points you then get access to specific downloads, It would be useful if the downloads AND points could be tagged so that there are specific permission on what categories you can download from.

So say a primary tagged section of the forum has primary tagged points, only the admin or a mod of that particular tag can give points that are for that tag, if the receiving user has enough points, they can spend them on a download only from that specific tagged category.

Just a suggestion that I know would work perfectly for my end goals, lol.

Antoine

KillMeNext It's a bit far from the original idea of this extension. It could be done as a new extension that has my money extension in it's dependencies.

FlarumPower Thanks for your suggestion. It looks like quite easy to implement it but I try to keep this extension as generic as possible. I think it could also encourage spam messages like "FIRST" to get the money.

FlarumPower

@Antoine Suggestion: Being the first person to reply to a new post should get more 'money'.

It would encourage people replying to new threads.

KillMeNext

Yeah, I figured as much, it was more just me wishing out loud, lol.
