Hi Team and Members, I am trying my best to complete the Credit System for Invision version 2.1.4. Managing ComputingHost and especially looking after the servers is very much time consuming. QUOTE Why is it taking soo much time, When you had it ready for 2.0.X?
The update is taking a lot of time because 2.1.X has a totally new framework. There are new classes and the old codes don't match in their regular position.
Secondly, I usually use Structured approach rather than Object Oriented. Even though, things worked best previously, they are getting complicated as we are moving ahead adding more features. Therefore, I am forced to re-write the entire mod again with new Object oriented approach.
Third reason which delayed things further is the new critical patch update released by Invision. When I started my work, I had 2.1.3. Then, the update / patch which invision released said, it fixed major Security Holes. I restarted my work using this new version. Even though this part wasen't soo hard. Since, codes were almost the same. My main objective to start this topic was to let members know the progress of the script. Please forgive me for the slow progress, because I have to do a lot of testing before I finalize every feature. The credit system is directly linked with the Hosting server and any mistake which deals with credits might directly result in your account loss. I have to verify each condition and with each member status to make sure things are stable. PROGRESS ======= - Credit System timer algorithm. [-Rewritten completely from scratch with slightly diffrent set of rules -]
- Lofi version pages and their formatting.
- URL friendly links.
- Updating credits on new post.
- EDITING FEATURE ENABLED. (Staff Members! Enjoy your full time on your evil work, no more requests for editing posts.. !)
- Editing a post recalculates the credits and adjusts the post accordingly.
- A Fast Reply and Merge post will also give credits rather than ignoring the tiny amount. -> 1/27/2006
- Credits adjust properly even for a post which has been merged. -> 1/27/2006
- MODERATOR Function : Delete post function re-written. -> 1/29/2006
- MODERATOR Function : Deleting a topic will restore the credits of all members and the topic starter(spammer) will be fined double the credits earned! [I wasted 4 hours on a silly mistake in code.. I won't forget this code] -> 1/29/2006
- Finalized Similar topic hack. All tables ready! -> 1/30/2006
Keep checking for new updates.. You can update this topic for any useful suggestion

Sounds cool, take your time though. We all know you are busy running the Xisto Corporation. I don't mind using these forums at the moment anyway. If you need any help with anything let me know, not coding wise though (not the greatest lol). Thanks for the update.

What king of rules are we expecting for the new timer algorythm? Also, are we able to have an easier time reading scale... EG) Days, Hours, Minutes

We're going to have the editing system back! It seemed to me a nightmare having to constantly ask Moderators for Edits. Besides, we only lost it because 10% of our members were being... how should I put it? ...stupid. I for one breathe a sigh of relief over this news. But I also wonder why this could not be done sooner. But I am aware of the complexity of such a system and the time it'd take to configure, so I feel that I probably already know the answer to this and will not ask the question. (Well, I used to be an admin too, in two other forums, so of course I'd know)

Hey this sounds great. I like that you are always trying to improve the forums to make them better for us. I am glad that the editng feature is coming back. I really hope that people do not take advantage of it. There have been a few select times that even though I read my post before clicking go I mispelled things or accidentally hit go by hitting the return key. I am wondering about the hosting credits calculator. I have noticed that the calculator has been more fair than it used to be. I remember when I first started here that the first 10 credits were fast and easy to get and anything above that got harder and harder to up. Now it seems to be much more evenly distributed. Yers the first 10 seem to be fairly easy to get but it does not take nearly as long to get them higher. Either that or I have learned how to make better posts or something. LOL Anyway I look forward to seeing what the place will look like when you update us.

I'm usually quite careful when making my posts, but at times I, too, tend to make a post without checking the spelling or any words that I forgot to put in (or repeated). The edit feature is nice to have, but as long as people can get the general message, then that should be okay with everyone, too.

I really like how the system will now adjusts the credits after you edit a post, since every time I edit my posts, it's after adding 50% more content

is it possible to have a vacation mode where your account is suspended until you come back? for example, if you have vacation mode on (say for 6 weeks)... your website is not accessible and shows the suspended page. in this case, since your site is not accessible, the credits will stop counting down. Once you put it out of vacation mode, your site is active again and your credits start counting again...

QUOTE(Dez Ironer @ Dec 4 2006, 05:23 AM)  That's quite ancient! Is this correct? Yes, it's correct. Someone dug this out again. Although it's good to re-read things every once in a while, I really don't think this could be any good. Four members have now posted up this recently... it is about two years old!!!! I spent a lot of time reading opaque's post about the credit upgrade after seeing this in the recent posts list and thought we were getting a change to something!! (although a couple of things puzzled me since most as far as I knew had been already done!!!) Could we not dig it up unless there is something new to say about it

This topic is rather old seeing the the IP board version is 2.2.3. The credit system would have been sorted for 2.1.4 a while back now. Im not sure why this topic is still open.

Wow! You have your work cut out for you... I believe you can do it your TRAP17... ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE... I am curios thou is this algorithm reads the amount of characters and spaces then like calculates, then like checks to see if it's a true word or similar, instead of putting like dummy text? I know you would catch dummy text but is it similar to that. I'm just curios thats all... Well Good luck with your project.
