How would I know? Review the instructions for the mod you installed for MSN.

Is there any demo board I could checkout to see what that mod will look like?

Can it be used to give a user cash without losing cash from your own total?

Basically I'd want a way for my members to give props to someone who helps, but without losing their own count everytime they give props.. is that the right mod?

Thanks!

The Admin can edit a member's cash, to award without losing any of his own. There is also a setting to allow Moderators to edit cash, but I have never used it.

You will not want regular users to edit cash, otherwise they will be editing their own up to 1-million every day.

You can check my board. I am awarding cash for posting in most boards. There is also the wGEric store system in place, for buying and selling pictures of things, or changing your Name-display style.

And then if there a admin, they can take away anyones cash.

This is weird...I tried to use EasyMOD and got this:

Critical Error

FIND FAILED: In file [posting.php] could not find:

$select_sql = ( !$submit ) ? ", t.topic_title, p.enable_bbcode, p.enable_html, p.enable_smilies, p.enable_sig, p.post_username, pt.post_subject, pt.post_text, pt.bbcode_uid, u.username, u.user_id, u.user_sig" : '';

Thanks for the reply. I visited your board. So all I saw was that under each user's avatar, you display a number of 'JJBucks'. Good.

What I want to do is allow users who ask a question in a thread the possibility to award some cash to the user who replies, as a thank you. That way users who answer a lot of questions get a lot of cash (And I would rather call it 'Karma points' than cash). Hopefully in the long run those users become more respected, and it entices everybody to answer a lot of questions...

EDIT: I looked at the Cash mod features again, and saw "Let your users donate cash to other users". When a user donates Cash, is that cash taken out of his cash total? Is there a setting to donate from an 'infinite virtual pool' without losing any of your own cash?

For example, let's say I have 143 karma points because I've helped a few people here on phpbb.com. Now I want to give Brf 10 Karma points for his generous reply, and MasterHand 2 points for his additional comment. My guess is with Cash mod I end up with 143-10-2=131 points. I'd like, however, to keep my 143 points.

[Brf]

If a user donates, it is subtracted from his cash. The Admin, like I said, can "edit" a user's cash, and so award them without deleting his own.

it would be pretty much worthless to allow users to donate from an infinite fund... otherwise they would be awarding 1-million each time....

I see. I was thinking of giving them a limit. Like you can give only between $1 and $10, and only once per post, or per thread. So you're only rewarding individual posts.

You see what I mean? I guess that's not the mod I'm looking for then.

Is there another mod allowing you to "rate" a user, or a post, or a topic?

$select_sql = ( !$submit ) ? ", t.topic_title, p.enable_bbcode, p.enable_html, p.enable_smilies, p.enable_sig, p.post_username, pt.post_subject, pt.post_text, pt.bbcode_uid, u.username, u.user_id, u.user_sig" : '';

Solution 1.
Do it by hand not by easyMod

Solution 2: open posting.php, find the "$select_sql = ..." row. Copy the WHOLE row. open cm_install_223a.txt, find the block:

Code: Select all

#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------ 
# 
		$select_sql = (!$submit) ? ', t.topic_title, p.enable_bbcode, p.enable_html, p.enable_smilies, p.enable_sig, p.post_username, pt.post_subject, pt.post_text, pt.bbcode_uid, u.username, u.user_id, u.user_sig, u.user_sig_bbcode_uid' : '';
# 

and paste and replace the "$select_sql = ..." row and save. try again with easymod. voila

Donating isnt per post, so no, it isnt what you are looking for. There should be several "Topic Points" mods out there.

Try this one:
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.ph ... ght=points

Thanks, that's a great one and I might install it. But what I really want is to give a USER points. So I can then have the top 10 list of the most helpful users for example...

[Brf]

Well... Drathbun also suggests one of the Karma Mods for rating users, rather than topics....

A search for "karma" here yields a handful of abandoned mods. You might have to search on phpbbhacks.com for one...

I have another problem... when I post something, I get this error message:

Code: Select all

Warning: Missing argument 9 for update_post() in /membri/neosiders/phpBB2/includes/classes_cash.php on line 461

the line 461 is:

Code: Select all

		function update_post($mode, &$post_data, $forum_id, $topic_id, $post_id, $topic_type, $bbcode_uid, $post_username, &$post_message)

Can some1 help me? Thx

[Brf]

cm_install_223.txt has this instruction:

Code: Select all

# 
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------ 
#
includes/functions_post.php

# 
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------ 
# 
	$meta = '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=' . append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . "=" . $post_id) . '#' . $post_id . '">';

# 
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------ 
#
	$cash_message = $GLOBALS['cm_posting']->update_post($mode, $post_data, $forum_id, $topic_id, $post_id, $topic_type, $bbcode_uid, $post_username, $post_message);

If you inserted that line correctly, it would have the 9 arguments.
