    Please, check one more thing: does the user has points to exchange for invitations? Note that according to your screenshot from settings above, user must have at least 100 points. 

    I'm unsure, I'd have to check again. Is there a way or shouldn't it show the points button regardless if they have enough points or not? You could have it simply say not enough points if they don't have the amount needed.

    Did you enable the Members Shop integration on Invite System settings?

    And if I’m not mistaken, the user can’t have invitations. It will show only for those who need to exchange/purchase. 

    Yes, I have already completed that.

    There’s no such integration. The only one, as described in this app description is:

    Member can exchange points for invitations

    And member will do it in the IS app, not in Members Shop:

    He can purchase invitations using Commerce.

    Yes, how does the member get an invite code with points? I don't see those two options when looking at the same screen.

     

    Edit:

    Got the commerce one set up.

    I feel you 🙏 I do think gamification is pretty important. I was previously told that IPS isn't heading in that direction currently, but I will circle back because I find a lot of value in it (no pun intended 😝)

    I thank you for at least acknowledging our requests. It's unfortunate that the app devs making money from these can't even be bothered to check once daily to reply.

    In the other hand, social media almost destroyed forums and they doesn´t use points. You dont build a community "paying" people for posting

    While I agree that social media doesn't "pay" you for your content, some communities just like paying their members for the content that they contribute to the forum. There is lots of reasons why one may want to do this type of plan.

    Ahh that's a bummer. I use this currently for my own forum. Have you ever checked it out? 
     

     

    I purchased this addon but for a $35 app, the dev is not very responsive to questions and suggestions. The APP is missing so much vital controls, it makes it hard to use. I have a forum that pays members for posting but I must hard limit their group to xx amount of posts per day in order to stop them at a certain point from earning. It shouldn't have to be this way. If the user wants to continue posting and not care about points for rest of the day, they physically can't because of the way the app is. The app is not intertwined to the commerce exchange points for currency, so that's another flaw. The app doesn't support deletion of points for a post getting soft deleted, only perm deleted. I'd like to keep the post if a user gets warned as proof, but can't be bothered to deduct all the points. These things need to be automatic. I find it hard to continue using IPB because of these restrictions whereas Xenforo has DragonBytes credits which can do ALL of these features...

    I'd love to see points be integrated with the actual software and support all of these major features which is very widely needed.

    In the moderator permissions there is a members shop section what allows admins / mods to buy items for free, disable it for the groups you don't want to have the freebies on

    the thing with all that is no logs, Unless the dev of that adds the proper way to utilize the points system it will just add points and log nothing

    it will be too much code and editing to do that as you may then restore the soft delete then it will need to readd etc etc

    check out goals

    it does lots of random awards etc for users to create comments, upload avatars etc etc read the description on it for all it does

    Do you have commerce installed and enabled?

    Thanks, that's unfortunate about the soft delete. For the members shop goals; this would work for what I need?
    Example: I refer you to a forum under my link. You join. In order for me to get xx points, you would need to verify your email, post 10 times and be a member for x days. This is achievable with that addon? I'm also searching for a way that I can stop issuing points after xx amount of points per 24 hours without having to fully restrict the group to being able to post or comment per 24 hours. I'd just like to stop issuing points. Probably should have researched this a little more through the addons cause DragonByte for xenforo does all these actions. Hope there is a solution.

  7. Thanks! That worked!

    I will patiently await your response to my previous post.

    Also I was wondering if there is any plans to add in the future to deduct points if a post is "soft deleted". I hate having to perm delete a post to automatically remove points. I would like to retain the post if I have to warn a user for it.

    Suggestions:

    1. Add ability to only give points to referrals if the user has completed tasks such as post count, verified email, and been registered for x days.
    2. Add ability to soft delete posts and still automatically deduct points.

    Are you able to offer customers the opportunity to buy points by paying with real money? I can not do it...

    In the instructions of the plugin it says that it is possible but after a week I gave up...

    I'm sorry for this plugin because it really deserves more attention but assistance must accompany.

    It doesnt seem to work. Ive tried for two days. It just says a conversion rate is not there.

  9. [Edit]

    Why come when I purchase something from the shop it does not deduct the points from the user? I can keep buying the item over and over? (Seems to be from the main admin account. I tested on a user, and it worked normally)

    I purchased Basic Points and would like to utilize your shop with the basic points database in order to be able to "withdraw" into a USD currency and use the commerce to send withdraw payments. How is this accomplished?

    Essentially what I want is for the points to be acquired using the Members Shop application but the point balance to reflect in the Basic Points application so that users can use the bank, the shop, etc.. but be able to use Basic Points to "redeem" their points into USD using the nexus (Commerce) application.
