    That's a confirmed bug and will be fixed next release. In the meantime, if you disable redeem through the group permissions it will follow what you set.

    There's permissions for who can view points but not receive.

    I opted to utilize the existing account credit for simplicity sake rather then setting up an entire new payment option that reproduced account credits. It also allowed some moderation if needed for the actual redeeming as well.

    Let me know if there are any improvements that could be made to do what you want. You mentioned the risk of members stockpiling points, have you considered using the points reset feature as a means to combat that? That way active members build up points and redeem them before every reset but can't stockpile them. Or some kind of expiration date on new points? Or let me know if there's anything else you can think of to make it better.

    Yes I get what you mean Mike, but the way this will work is nothing new, there are other apps that do it this way, I was hoping this will be different, of well back to the drawing board for me lol

    The Basic Points app is the next to receive new features and improvements. This has been one of the most popular app for suggestions so I won't be able to include everything at once. But I have focused on the most requested features and will build on from there. The first few new features being:

    • Redeem points into a manually processed value with custom field support. 
    • Integration with the Commerce application to redeem points into account credit. 
    • Set per forum values for members giving and receiving reactions. 

    The new "redeem" feature will allow members to redeem points for manually processed gifts or any cash backs an admin wants to approve manually. As well as integrate with the Commerce application to issue account credit in exchange for member points.

    I have to say after waiting so long for the Commerce integration I'm disappointed to see it come out like this, I don't know if I am the only one but I wanted it to possible for the points to straight out buy items for points, specific items that are listed as points. I have a gaming community and wanted to reward active members with merch or game keys but from points, having it convert in to account credit means that could end up costing me/my community quite a bit if someone just saves their points up.

  3. @Mike John is there any ETA on the commerce being added? I bought this app a year ago basically for that upcoming feature lol. I have a lot of respect for you man honest I do, you do some great apps etc and a lot of them for free, but this app is letting you down for sure. The point of the app was to be a long term solid point app right? And if I am honest it has been disappointing, some of the promised upcoming features still awaiting to be implemented.

    I am more than happy to pay for the app again once there is an update, even at a higher price, please update soon man a lot of communities are crying out for a solid points app that they can use to actually redeem rewards through their communities!

    Even a rough ETA, something, anything would be gratefully received :) 

  4. This error when awarding a limited edition medal that is still open:

    Exception: Sorry to be able to award you must disable the limited edition still available option. (0)

    Also get four 1's on front of any award name on mobile, for example 1111Team Award

  5. Just checking in as seen this was updated but some people are having issues with upgrades or whatever. I would be a fresh install so would it work for me now?

  6. I can't remember if I ask this before Mike so thought I would now, can you use points to purchase items through commerce? Not convert in to real money, but actually purchase through the system as the points?

    We really need that option for our community as we trade in-game items which cannot have a real world value.

    Thanks :)

  7. I am currently using a free points system but with what @Mike John said about them kinda fading out here and there I am excited about the possibilities of this app. One main feature I am really after is to be able to purchase items though commerce with points. The main thing I need is for it to be clear/separate from real money as we use the points system for trading in-game gear, which is against the games rules to sell/trade for real money but we have been given the go ahead for a fake/points system. Another thing that would be great, if possible is some kind of random points generator that members would get for say, logging in daily if that makes sense?

    IE member logs in = Rewarded X amount of points today but maybe fixed or random? 

    And lastly something I have wanted for a while now, an auction system with points, I know that's kinda a separate thing but I thought it's worth  a mention :p

    Just to confirm that is v4.1.6.1? I'm also not able to reproduce this on the latest version.

    v4.1.6.1? If not try the very latest.

    It was not the latest version, so updated, still get the same error Mike.
