[ABD] Simple Points System 0.5.1

[Ganon_master]

It doesn't have per-character points. Just a fixed points amount per new reply or topic.

Make sure you upload the functions_points.php file to the correct directory.

Hi!!! Your mod is very beautiful!!!

Yes, you should be able to see the points number once you install this mod.

[roxxy86]

[Zheverling]

Make sure you upload the functions_points.php file to the correct directory.

Do you have any spaces or linebreaks at the top in your posting.php file? I you do, please remove them.

thanks but...

in my forum there isn't points number!

Did you make the edits from the files in the /templates folder of the install package? It should contain two XML files called 'subsilver2.xml' and 'prosilver.xml'.

Just make sure that this is the top of the file, with nothing else above it: <?php
That should work.

[Zheverling]

that is what is at the top still does not work

[Zheverling]

The errors seem to come from phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4312: is there a way to look at that file on that line and see what the problem is

[GeorgiePorgie]

Ganon_master,

Thanks again for your excellent mod. As I mentioned in a previous reply in this topic, I'm running your mod with no problems. I'm running 0.2.3, and I'll upgrade to the latest version sometime during the next few days.

If you're open to suggestions and requests for features...

I can think of just one feature from my old phpbb2 Cash Mod board that I made much use of, but currently lack with your Simple Points System mod. That feature is:

ACP support for awarding a specified number of points to each newly registered user, immediately upon the completion of their registration. For instance, I might like to have each new member begin with 10 points instead of starting with 0 points.

This is certainly not a critical need. I can live without it, but it would be a nice feature to have in a future version. Just thought I'd mention it. If features of this nature fall outside of the scope of a "Simple" points system, then.... nevermind!

Thanks again for your excellent mod!

You are misunderstanding the error. Normally /includes/functions.php uses the header function to start sending the page to the user. However, this results in an error if a character has already been sent. That is the error you are getting. Take a look at the bolded area in the error below.

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4312: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /language/en/posting.php:1)

So the problem is probably in your /language/en/posting.php file. I don't know what the problem could be except for outputted characters before the <?php or after the ?>.

It's a rather small feature, and there's a little trick to do it manually using phpMyAdmin. You can run the following SQL query:

Code: Select all

 ALTER TABLE `phpbb_users` CHANGE `user_points` `user_points` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1000' 

You can change 1000 with the amount you want users to start off with. I might add this feature if enough user request.

[Zheverling]

there is nothing before or after so i am not sure why i am getting this error. i pasted that whole page maybe someone can see something. what editor do you use to edit your php files
