You know how we have a "Hosting Credit" system on here which goes up by the quality of posts. Well, I want to do a similar, "Points System", which goes up by quality of posts. But I also want it to increase and decrease by visiting certain webpages or doing certain thiongs on the website. So I have four questions:
1. How can I put a "Point" system such as this onto a website? 2. How can I make it so that the points you have are visible on most pages of my website? 3. (optional) Is it possible to use the point system on a forum as well as the website? Also, can I use the point system to make changes to points based on quality of posts? 4. Is it possible to change the points at random? If so: a. How? b. (optional but strongly requested) Can it actually say when the points have been randomly changed? I know it's a lot of questions, and many of them may not be answerable, but I would really appreciate any help. Also, if you can't think of answers for the questions marked (optional) (3 and 4b), don't worry about it. |

do you mean .. just for a normal website or for a certain forum... I'm sure every forum client have a mod where you could do that.. Example.. i'm using SMF and they have a SMF shop mod.. .. the members post to get point. .and you could buy things in the SMF shop. .Like chaning your display name, etc.
sadly that mod only worked with older version.... It depends on which forum client you use. |

If you wont something like that you should look for search
 i answered yestarday at same questin  For IPB its called IBStore look on invisionize.com for that mod. And for whole page i dont does something like that exist but if it does you should look at http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_...rams/index.html there are a lot of PHP scripts that could be usefull for any site. |

Sqlbyte, you are most wise. They should make you a mod... lol. I shall search the websites you have listed.
As for the matter of Point System on Forums... no I did not intend on using a shop but thanks as I realise now that could actually help me. Currently I use SMF and I am thinking on moving to IPB, but I do not wish to host my forum with another host. I wold rather have full control over the forum. And as far as I know, putting IPB onto a site is impossible... |

I didn't mean it like that. I actually meant that finding an installation file for IPB seems to be impossible nowadays unless you got loadsa cash, and even if I could find one I doubt I'll know how to use it...

Why not start out with a phpbb from your fantastico cpanel?
It is free and available already uploaded to the trap17 server... skins and mods are available a phpbb.com or phpbbhacks.com. |

I think I'll try writing a point system of my own. It won't be nearly as good as OpaQue's, but I will try to put in some of the major features, and not require you to go to the form's home page to check your points (in other words more easily accessible). If you have any suggestions, just PM me or reply here.
