Upgrade from other points systems:
  • An upgrade from APS is possible. But you need to remove all edits and re-edit the edits for Ultimate Points. As there are different points systems around, we added a SQL install file with all SQL queries and an upgrade SQL file from the APS 0.8.2 and 0.9.2. Important: Don't delete the field points (or user_points) from the users table!
  • An upgrade from Simple Points System is also possible. Here it's the same as with the APS. You need to remove all edits, delete all files from the Simple Points System and then do the edits for Ultimate Points. For the database update you will find the SQL queries in the contrib folder. The user field and the points name field are identical. Only the fields points per topic and points per post differ from our system.
Informations and credits:
Ultimate Points was born out of the pain, that all existing points systems either stopped their development or are not developped in a way, we are satisfied with. Out of these reasons, we decided to develop a new points system.
As basis we used the Advanced Points System v0.8.2 (some of the ideas were already implemented over there). The subsilver2 style and the German translation was already made by us.
During the devolpment of Ultimate Points we meanwhile rewrote the whole package in a way, there's only the basic idea left.
Most of the functions were enhanced, corrected, adjusted and written new. We took a special attention on the validation part (XHTML 1.0 validation).

At this point we like to say thanks to all authors, who set the basic idea for a Points System (no matter, if they developped for phpBB2 or phpBB3). Without their effort and ideas to improve a phpBB forum, this modification would not exist.

To name some of those authors, where we know, who made which part):
  • eXplosiv (Basic Point System - phpBB2)
  • Zarath (Lottery and Bank Modul - phpBB2)
  • McGod (Basic Points Mod - phpBB3)
  • JC (Converted the Lottery and Bank module to phpBB3)
  • ganon master (Robbery Modul)
  • Adrian (Advanced Points System)
A very special thanks goes to following people, who always were a great assistance in helping to solve problems!
