    Trophies are still random at the minute and the custom items have 5 at the minute

    The idea I have is like a virtual shop, where as members earn enough points they can choose the trophies they want.

    Since trophies can be any kind of graphics and displays in post user panes, it makes for a powerful and flexible award system for communities. There can be common, exclusive, limited/special, and more types. It's to the imagination. For me, this will be an important component of the awards system.

    If it's possible, I'm willing to pay extra for the work as I know this is a custom request. If not, that's ok...But I hope that you will consider. :) 

  2. Sorry if I missed it, but is it possible to create an unlimited amount of trophies, set prices for them, and add them into the shop for members to purchase?

    Sorry I have already made a plugin for the copyright it will be one for all my apps. I just haven't got around to uploading it. I will have it up at the weekend at the latest

    Ah, I like the idea of a branded-free for all apps.

    I'll be eagerly waiting! :D

    I could look into it yeah and see what I can come up with

    This is a much needed feature for my community. Thank you! :D

    I cal also look into limits, but if you use commerce and are selling the points it could backfire on you, Imagine spending $$$ on points to try and win a trophy etc then a message comes up saying sorry you tried / brought it too many times, Now a normal user might accept this but as a paying user, I don't think they will be too happy ? ( Might be wrong though )

    Thanks! :) 

    Scenario #1: The idea is to make certain items "exclusive", making the items special or limited edition.

    Maybe for these items, there will be a visual number (a counter) for members to see how many items are in stock. As I think about it, maybe the number should be displayed for all items. So "unlimited" for purchase any time, "5" if the item can be purchased only 5 times, and etc. This way members will know up front how many of an item is in stock.

    Scenario #2: I can select items to only be purchased x amount of times per month (or week, year, etc.). Then after the month has passed, the item will restock to the number set by the admin. Since these items will not always be available, it gives members an extra incentive to purchase them.

  5. I haven't installed Member Shop yet, so I'll ask. :D

    1. With Member Shop, can we create Trophies and give them a price. When members have enough points they can select the trophy of their choice and purchase it?

    For me this feature will be more important than awarding a random trophy.

    In the future release, I know I can create a custom item and award the trophy manually. I just thought members will love the feature of purchasing the trophies themselves.

    2. Can we set a limit on the number of items or trophies that members can purchase?

    If this is already a feature, sorry. :p

    In donate > front > browse > index? If so, make sure it's placed after this line to take advantage of the "$goal" variable.

    
    {{foreach \IPS\donate\Goal::roots( NULL, NULL, ( \IPS\Settings::i()->dt_goal_reset ) ? array( 'g_show=1 AND g_start_date > ?', \IPS\Settings::i()->dt_goal_reset ) : array( 'g_show=1' ) ) as $goal}}

     

    Ah right! That's exactly what it is. I had removed the foreach code, so when I added it back it worked.

    Always helpful, Mike! Thank you! :)

    The donate goal and main index page both have access to the "$goal" variable and your above code should work just fine in those locations.

    It's not showing up. :( 

    It must be where I'm adding it into the Index template.

    @Mike John

    What can I use for a condition to target a specific goal?

    Example: If goal id = 2, then do this...

    
    {{if $goal->goal_id == '2' }}
      To do here for goal #2
    {{endif}}

    Can you let me know a little more about where your placing this condition?

    On ‎11‎/‎29‎/‎2017 at 7:04 PM, GrooveOnBeat said:

    Template: donateGoals

    • Variables: $goals, $goal

    The idea is to customize the template based on the goal ID. It will be helpful when I have multiple goals running at the same time. :) 

    I think I got it! :D

    {{if $goal->_id == '2'}}
        To do if Goal #2
    {endif}}
    
    
    or
    
    
    {{if $goal->id == '2'}}
        To do if Goal #2
    {endif}}

    I could have sworn I did this originally. Maybe I had a typo.

     

    Would this be possible on the Donations index page too?

    if you are using a port other than 443/80, a lot of public wifi's and companies will block the ability to connect to ports outside of like ports 21/22/80/443 and a few others. some firewalls (on their computers) might block those ports as well. (one of the reasons i have separate servers for the chat service, using port 443 cause of this potential issue).

    I have it as 3000.

    Should I change the settings in ACP and babble.js to either 443 or 80?

    Is it possible to add a feature where users can choose which awards to display? Or at least a feature where the admin or moderators can go in and arrange users awards in the way the users want?

    I've asked for this too. Members choice is ideal, for me at least.

    Please? :p

  12. 3 hours ago, TheJackal84 said:

    So basically it will be blank with no custom code just notifications to the admin, then you can manually do what your description says it will do, Like add a post count of 5000, then you will go to the members acp and manually add 5000 and so on?

     

    Also anyone like the big bang therory? I like the idea of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

    Exactly. I only fear that an admin notification could not be enough. We admins get hundreds of notifications and some of them could easily be missed. Therefore I suggested an additional admin email or better an action like "send an additional email for this manual action to xxx". So there would be some limitless flexibility who is processing the action. :thumbsup: But if a specified email action is too much deployment effort, a notification would be great for the beginning.

     

    That's exactly what I wanted...Although I didn't convey that as good as @Cyboman did. :p

    Yes, I'd like the ability to create a blank item that I can define and set a price too. +1 for me. :)

    This is something that you can't do without a custom work.

     

    I'd like members having the choice of where awards are displayed and in the order they choose.

    Is custom work something you can provide? If so, what will be the fee?

    Just thought I'd ask. :D

    All the avatar and cover photo I did think of already, the siguatures are already in there, The rest sounds good, too, I am also thinking along the lines of use points to join private clubs and so on

    Nice! Thanks!

    Wow the ideas are just pouring in! It is so great to see! :)

    They show at the bottom of the Panel, But it uses a template so if you are good with editing them you can just move it to where you want to put it

    Ah perfect!

    I use conditionals to display things differently based on member groups or ID's. So being able to modify the templates will be most helpful for my needs. :)

    Let me know any, I am always looking for ideas to make my stuff better

    This is great to hear!

    I've always believed that a store system, where members can purchase items (that are displayed in their User Info Panel in posts, Profile, and Hovercards. Sort of a visual incentive for members. Trophies & Medals will play an important part with the point system.

    The store system can also be used to purchase functions, like the things you've already implemented (e.g., username and titles). And it can go beyond like profile customizations, signature, avatar, profile photo permissions. Colored usernames are also requested a lot.

    We can also have a "Special" item that members can buy and that special item is something that the admins can provide for them. In a sense, it's like a golden ticket, that can be used now or later on.

    There are really so many things that can be done with a points + store system. I also understand that this may go beyond what you've had originally planned to do. Like I said, I am willing to pay for features since they are custom features. I also think it can benefit other communities too.

    Sorry for the long post...I'm just very excited to see a point + store system finally happen for 4.x boards. Thank you! :D

    Plus I am sure you use

    Thats suppports trophys and medals too, so its a win all round, I am not sure if it displays in the profile, but I am sure if you ask @Fosters he will add it to a future update

    I have been looking at this app. I modify my own info panel, but I do it by template edits, which yours is much easier and flexible.

    This may be a silly question, but where do the Trophies & Medals show up in the panel? I looked at the pictures, but I couldn't find them, although I see Trophies & Medals supported.

     

    As for your other questions, I may have other ideas since a point + shop system is something I've wanted ever since coming from vBulletin. :)

    So I will be playing with that @GrooveOnBeat I would highly recommend switching to Trophys & Medals especially at that price it's at now, its so much better than iAwards plus the dev supports it

    This is a perfect solution. I've already purchased Trophies & Medals. I haven't installed it yet.

    As I understand, the Trophies & Medals display under the author's info in posts. I forgot if they display in Profile and Hovercards too.

    This collaboration can be a great start of something wonderful! Kudos to you guys!

  18. Thank goodness someone made this app. I've been asking around, even hired a developer who hasn't come through (status is still unknown nearly 2 years). :unsure:

     

    Can we create items to purchase?

    And can those display in the post profile, or post itself, or profile, or hovercard?

    Yep Trophys and Medals

    9 hours ago, TheJackal84 said:

    OK I will speak to @Fosters and see what I can do, I would rather it of been that one then the other trophys one

    Yes! That an iAwards? Or am I asking too much. :D

    *I'll pay extra for these must have features...If possible and realistic of course.
