Hi there,
Sorry for the delay of this reply.
After checking on this issues, it seems that your article is under "TZ Portfolio" components and when we view the articles, EasySocial Article applications will consider that you are reading portfolio not article as you can see on link below for your references.
Your URL
xxx/index.php?option=com_tz_portfolio&view=portfolio&Itemid=455
My URL
xxx/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4
Would i have to create my own point award to go along with this component?...or would these links be considered articles and they would be covered under the existing point "Read Article"? Is it even possible to create my own point award to go along with this component? Or would it be better to copy the chapters of the Bible into a Joomla article (which would take forever)?
Does your support team offer (for a fee) to create the points for 3rd party components?
