Version: 0.0.6
Last Updated: 2009-3-11
Requires bbPress Version: 0.8.3 or higher
Compatible up to: 0.9
This is a very early release for the adventurous. Allows members to award Reputation (or "Karma") points to other members for their posts. Can optionally be used as a pseudo currency (ie. "forum dollars").
PLEASE DO NOT USE VERSIONS BEFORE 0.0.6, UPDATE IMMEDIATELY
I've posted this based upon popular request but please keep in mind it's an extremely early (alpha) release and things will change.
You can see a demo here:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/new-bbpress-plugin-bbpress-reputation-karma
(notice it below each post author info on the left side)
Obviously you cannot trade points on the demo until you are logged in and have points to trade.
You are virtually guaranteed to lose transaction history in the next release when I make it use a real database table and not just user_meta, however each user's total will be retained. I may make a converter if enough people start using it.
Looking forward to later releases. Keep up the great work _ck_!
Clicking the plus to award rep does nothing. It just moves me down the page.
I disabled all of our plugins except a few that were required for our theme to run and it still did not work. I also checked your source against ours and saw no outstanding difference.
Just doing some of the work you might do =)
It must be a javascript error if nothing happens when you click it. I'll have to investigate. Can you tell me what browser you are using? I just noticed that IE7 does give a "trust warning" that you have to permit before it will allow the popup. I'll have to accelerate my coding of a DIV popup instead.
I have only tested it in Firefox. Will this plugin subtract points for spam/stupid topics and posts? Like if you post a thread to get the two points, if a moderator deletes it, can it minus three?
0.0.2 has a bug fix for reputation history displaying wrong username
and now admin (or you can also allow mods) to deduct points for being stupid: just use negative points
I haven't made it deduct points automatically when a post is deleted but that's on the "to do" list.
hey ck, i love this plug in, im using it, but i just want my users to add +1 rep, not more or less you know. how can i do this?
thanks!!
motaboy21, go into the plugin near the top and change
$bb_reputation['variable_points']=true;
to
$bb_reputation['variable_points']=false;
and you will probably also want to change
$bb_reputation['points_per_topic']=2;
to
$bb_reputation['points_per_topic']=1;
Thanks _CK_!!!! ^^
How can I delete the history?
Sorry Greenleaves, that functionality is not in there yet and I probably won't have time to work on this until September at the soonest.
OK. Thanks for being so responsive. You are doing great work!
Based on this: http://zenhabits.net/2008/08/random-acts-of-kindness-a-social-site-id-love-to-see/ and my own ideas - you could implement some kind of Wishlist, so users could write what they want, and others could help them getting it, rewarded by Karma Points.
Does it work with 1.0 Alpha??
Having installed the plugin I get reputation panel in user profiles but there's no graphic bar under the user name and gravatar in the forum (like on http://www.bbshowcase.org/forums)
I read _ck_'s warning and still waiting for stable 1.0; I hope the pugin will work
This probably suffers from the same problem as Post Count Plus where they changed the post author hook. I'll take a look.
update: try 0.0.3 when you see it here
Note that if you see the info repeat twice in the post author area, that means you have an old buggy version of 1.0 alpha and should upgrade to what's in the trunk.
I am other site using bbPress for non-english. If change the "$bb_reputation['label']=__('Reputation');" the reputation url is not work. Can fix it? Thanks.
Let me know if 0.0.5 fixes the problem for you?
OK now!! Thanks _CK_!!!
