Gamification by ReFlar

A Flarum extension that adds upvotes, downvotes, and ranks to your Flarum Community!

Upvote and downvote posts anonymously, reward active users with ranks, and sort posts by hotness. This is meant as a replacement for the Likes extension, they are not compatible.

Usage

Just click upvote or downvote
Posts can be sorted by "Hotness"

Installation

Install it with composer:

composer require reflar/gamification

Then login and enable the extension.

You can optionally convert your likes into upvotes, as well as calculate the hotness of all previous discussions.

Developer Guide

You have 1 event to listen for PostWasVoted it contains the post, post's user, the actor, and the vote type (up or down).

Kyrne Any reason why the administrator cannot +1 every post?

It will allow me to thumbup the first post, but if I try to thumb up a the post underneath it, the thumb goes to 1, then I get an error "something went wrong" and then the +1 goes back to zero.

Enabling dev mode so I can get an accurate error.

Was just wondering if there was a threshold or something.

Kyrne Hi CDK2020 i would like some small changes to your gamification (custom changes), can i have your contact information, so we can discuss it further? I could pay a small sum if thats needed.

So it's basically Reddum or Flarrit :p

Ralkage

On-topic: Another good release partner!

Off-In Topic: I need to finish polls already lol.

Inner Thoughts: When irl work absorbs too much time.

Kyrne

0E800 Well that was an embarrassing mistake...

0.1.0-beta.2

Fix bug for upvoting posts that aren't the OP

Edit:

0E800 Was just wondering if there was a threshold or something.

Adding floodgate protection wouldn't be the worst idea as you can kinda spam the buttons at the moment.

Peculiar function.

So If I upvote a post, then I click on 'Like', it removes the upvote.
However, if I click on 'Like', and then upvote, I get both.

Anyway you can make it so when I click on 'Like', it automatically upvotes?

Or, remove the upvote (thumbup) as a button, so when someone clicks on 'Like' it automatically appends +1 to the upvote. (so your options are like or downvote)

I just dont think the user should be able to Like and downvote at the same time.

Hope that makes sense.

Some optional settings could include:

Time between likes
Amount of likes per Hour or Day
Amount of likes per user / per thread / time
Ability for Admin to chose who gets permissions to use the extension.

Kyrne

0E800 This extension is meant to replace the likes extension and therefore, was not built with compatibility. I recommend disabling the likes extension.

Kyrne

0E800

Those first 3 are added indirectly in the form of the "Hot" sort on your discussions page.

Permissions sounds good as well, I can easily add that.

Kyrne

Am I correct in thinking that the Money extension could listen for your upvote and downvote events so that upvotes added Money?

Kyrne

0E800 Yes, the developer could add this.

Ralkage What would be the point of disabling everything?

0.1.0-beta.3

After updating, please either disable and re-enable the extension or run `php flarum migrate` in your root dir

Added vote permission
Added floodgate protection

Ralkage

Would it be prompt to have a switch that disables the current packaged like system? Turn off API requests, remove "Like", etc without having to disable the Like extension.

I also made a dev branch and pull request to fix one of the translation field (and to avoid any mild editing I do).

What is the floodgate protection? Thought it was a value in settings, but not seeing anything.

Ralkage

Kyrne

Pure laziness lol, I really just only wanted to point out that missing "Rank:" string in the usercard and possible add an addition to allow default start-off points. The default before changing it would be "0" so the UI shows at least a numeric value because after you install the extension, it should show "0" but shows no value or string instead until after you have your first upvote.

Edit: How about the ability to change the upvote and downvote icons? Some users would probably like arrows, so maybe an drop down of the fa icons or just an input field?

Kyrne

0E800 Floodgate is the thing that prevents someone from spamming the forum, and requires no configuration. If you've ever posted 2 posts in quick succession it will say something about how you are going too fast. This makes that apply to votes so someone can't spam the buttons.

Kyrne

Ralkage I don't think it should say Rank: because that brings us to your other problem which is that if Points is 0 then it shows nothing. I think rank should show a blank space, and if a default rank is set, the default rank.

Try 0.1.0-beta.3.1, it should have the points show 0 now.

Edit: This can also be done, I'll work on that later.

Perhaps the member color hex should be a new textfield?

Also, I'm not able to select Hot as a sort method on my test board, it simply refreshes and resets back to Latest (even coming from another non-Latest sort method).

EDIT: Also, where should the Newbie rank be displayed? Not seeing it next to the Points.

Kyrne

jordanjay29 I thought it should be it's own textfield too. It became complicated to do with json stringify, if you have a way please let me know asap. Also do you mind taking a gif of the hot filter failing? I'm unable to reproduce.

AngelAvila

Kyrne Amazing work dude! I've been cheerleading throughout all the development of this project and I'm really glad you finished it!

Proudly gonna use it in my forum right now!

Thank you so much! ?

Kyrne

AngelAvila thanks so much for the support dude!

For those who don't know, he has supported me throughout my extension developer "career" as well as in development work I did before Flarum. This guy is super cool and you should really get to know him if you have the time.

Anyway:

0.1.0-beta.4

Spanish locale, thank to the man himself, @AngelAvila

Sabo

Kyrne I can't make the extension to use the Spanish locale, I only see the "reflar-gamification.admin.page.convert.help" (tags)
Please advice.
