Plugin - jAwards AutoReward

Yes this is doable. Just need to make a plugin that checks the field. If field equals whatever you wanted it to. Then update user table and have it set a new group type.

I'd make it for you, but unfortunately I do not have the time as I am busy with my very own site, lol. I've been adding a new feature for users to experience nearly daily.

Recently developed a gift system like you see on facebook or myyearbook using points.

Just too busy for side projects, but I'm sure with a bit of learning and digging you can throw something together.

Version 7 is now complete. I HIGHLY. No I demand you upgrade to this version.

Here's the reason. ALL previous versions have a progress system in them. Lets say I upload 20 pictures and I get an award for 10 then 20 pictures. I re-login, but am only granted the 20 picturs award. This is a big problem.

Well that problem is fixed in version 7.

ALSO Version 7 has been modified extensively to enhance speed. The amount of queries has literally been reduced by 50% and I have also eliminated any errors still present.

A few other minor changes here and here as well.

You do NOT have to replace your config file. However there was a minor change to the GroupJive Group. Simply remove the 1 from gjg1id and gjg1reason in your config file. That's all.

If you're upgrading. Just copy over cb.autoawardstab.php and that's it. You'll then experience the new enhanced version 7.

I wasn't going to release this version for public use, but figured what the hell. Enjoy.

I couldnt get version 7 to display my awards properly.

I went back to version 6 as it works just fine with awarding and removing and displaying.

Can you tell me what drawbacks i will have by still using v6?

And as for getting v7 to work, maybe it has something to do with . "\n AND a.gift=0" as that wasnt in earlier versions. It could have been user error, but im applying the same steps as i had for V6 and it doesnt show awards.

That being said, im very happy with v6.

Version 6 uses virtually double the queries to achieve the same goal. Version 7 should work just fine for you. You'd need to apply the fix again to only display that 1 award, but there shouldn't be any problems with that.

Version 7 cut down on the query usage and now allows awards to be given even if a user surpass award1. An example is if a user posted 10 pictures and got an award for every 5 pictures posted. They'd only get the award for 10 pictures and not 5 as well. Version 7 fixed this issue.

But if all you are doing is displaying 1 award. Then there isn't much point to using all the other functionality and would probably be best to edit the entire file to only function for that 1 award.

*Edit* Whoops I forgot to take that out before uploading, lol. I'll fix that and upload it. Thanks for pointing that out. That's a query used to avoid making my Gift tab items show up in the awards tab.

Here's version 7 fixed. Sorry about that little tidbit of code. This should take care of that issue.

Also if you wish to only show 1 specific award. Then add:
[code:1]
. "\n AND a.award = YOURAWARDID"
[/code:1]
after line 576

I'm not overly experienced with coding, I can't figure out where in the file I need to add the IDs... Can someone show me an example or something?

Thanks A lot!

Great Plugin!
