Hello Support

Having got CB users migrated to ES. I am wondering about the best way to award points to particular users.

Eg Users who have a Avatar, added a location or filled out an “About Me”

Looking at the Points section in the back end of ES.

I see a function for Update your avatar. But not one for has an Avatar already.
I do not see a function for e.g. “Time Zone” which is a ES field.
I do not see a function for e.g. “About Me” which is a CB filed.

This is what I am wondering. Plan A!

Is there a way to:

a) Search profiles for people who already have an Avatar & award points to multiple users.
b) Search profiles for people who have a ES field like Time Zone & award points to multiple users.
c) Search profiles for people who have imported CB field like About Me & award points to multiple users.

This is what I am wondering. Plan B!

(And maybe this makes the most sense.)

I have the registration process divided into 3 Tabs.

1) Basic Stuff
2) Detailed Stuff
3) Finishing Touches

If I could search for people who have filled out:

Only Tab 1 and award points: e.g. 20 points
Tab 1 and 2 and award points: e.g. 50 points
Tab 1,2 and 3 and award tabs:e.g. 100 points

I am also toying with the idea of a Plan C.

(Would be a night mare as the manual is in french and my french is terrible ;-)

I used to have this installed here:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/credits-a-point-systems/5949
It worked with CB kind of.
So if I could get the user points working in there, export them as a CSV file (assuming that is possible) I could then import them into ES using the mass assignment function under User Points!?!

thanks

Paul
Hello Paul,

Please find the answers to your inquiries below:


a) Search profiles for people who already have an Avatar & award points to multiple users.

Currently it is not possible to filter users with or without avatar at the back end but it would be cool if the back end users listing would be able to filter users with or without avatar. You can already assign points to users at the users listing by selecting multiple users and click on the "Assign Points" button.


b) Search profiles for people who have a ES field like Time Zone & award points to multiple users.
c) Search profiles for people who have imported CB field like About Me & award points to multiple users.

Unfortunately it is not possible currently.


Only Tab 1 and award points: e.g. 20 points
Tab 1 and 2 and award points: e.g. 50 points
Tab 1,2 and 3 and award tabs:e.g. 100 points

It's not possible currently but it would be nice if we are able to customize the points system to allow such rules where users would be able to achieve specific points based on their registration progress. Perhaps we could add this in the future.

hi Mark

well you could vote for this

http://stackideas.com/voices/item/291

I will think about a proposal for customising points and post in voices.

Looking at this in a positive light it means that as of now I have to look at the Stackideas points system and get my head around it. Less variables

best

Paul
