A good extension ... It will be amazing if you can add points for attachments... If someone is creating new topic and add attachment, he can put a price for downloading the attachment and maybe in the future to by compatible with a paypal donation system.. Someone donate 5 euro .. get 5 points... :D

Huh, it might be difficult to work on multiple currencies at this point, but we could certainly look into how feasible it would be for a "2.0" version after our first release. With some of the other features that don't depend on multiple currencies, we can definitely take a look at having in the release we're working on right now.

I only got a chance to skim the list. Outside of the ones that depend on multiple currencies, what are some of the better features from the add-on?

These are all amazing suggestions, and a ton of new features to add on. I'm not sure how we'll want to approach these, but they're in discussion now! :)

By the way, yes, ForumPromotion is going to 3.1.x. An announcement is going up soon on the site. :)

Re: [ALPHA] Caramel: Virtual Cash

Post by Innavigable »

Since we've now got the core features in place, we are switching the tag on this to ALPHA and have added a download link for the master branch. :P We still have a few features to tackle, such as bonuses, tips, edit increments, etc., however we consider these non-essential. They will be included in the BETA release, however.

Note that we welcome outside contributions to Caramel, so you can feel free to PM me here or on our team's site if you'd like to pick up an issue. We will also be putting up a topic for our Profile Comments Extension soon. We're welcoming new members to our team, so if you're interested in joining and making consistent contributions, pop me a message. :)

I've also updated the feature list and screenshots.

if you add a lottery, you could also add a casino/roulette feature

for example people can flip 1000 and have a 50% chance to lose 1k or win 1k. Same with roll dice (1/6 chance) or spin (1/37 chance)

good extension hope to see a final release soon

We'll probably be doing the lottery as a separate extension. Hopefully you'll see a Caramel lottery topic coming up soon. :)

Thanks for installing it! Just be careful putting it on a live forum like yours. We're already finding bugs. ;)
