Anacrusis,
Installed fine. One little thing with the DB. I run MS SQL and INSERT will not work after the Identity row has been set. So I had to manually remove the Identity of the P_ACTION column in the POINT_ACTIONS and rerun the INSERT portion of that table. I'm not sure how you would rework this in the dbs file.< |

So far. Except the avatar option in the store apparently doesn't work with some of the avatar mods I have. My forum doesn't populate the AVATAR_URL field just one called AVATAR. I am working on different code for this or not using that asa store option at all. Your code makes it easy to customize, very organized. Thank you for this!

I found a few "/pstore.asp" referrals in the code, but updated them. The code has been placed on to one of my Snitz Forums I run and it works fine after some minor code changes. I have also made it so unregistered users can only view the points.asp page, as I figured they do not have an account yet to use the functions of pstore.asp.
Good work overall Anacrusis..
Cheers,
David< |

What kind of changes did you make, so I can add them to the zip file. A left viewing of pstore.asp to unregistered used so they can see the types of things they can purchase, personal preference.
How was the install, I take it I didn't miss anything, this is my first real mod so I'm a little nervous about it. Anybody think it's ready to be taken out of beta phase?

When I click to configure the store, I don't see anything to configure. Here's what it looks like to start...I'm not quite sure what to make of it.  
Any suggestions on where to begin debugging this baby?< |

Something that I thought of for this MOD that would be VERY helpful....Not sure if it is possible though.
I run an Official Forum for a band called BOWLING FOR SOUP. On the forum, we have a section called the Daily Clicks where there are threads with links in them to different places to VOTE or REQUEST for Bowling for Soup.
Now my question is, would there be a way to TRACK members going into the threads and clicking on the voting/requesting links? If so, points would go up and they could use these points in the store.
Any ideas or possibilities behind this? I think this MOD could be REALLY useful to me, but I don't know how much it is actively being worked on.< |

Setting up new store items and adding more way's of earning points is not easy. But here's basicly how to do it:
To setup new ways of earning, Under "code", put any 3 letter code you want. Description, Point Value and Enabled are self explanatory.
Now, you have to edit asp code, this is how you award points to a user:
PointValue = GetPoints("XXX")
'Replace "XXX" with the code that you just created
'## Forum_SQL - Update Total Post for user
strSql = "UPDATE MEMBERS "
strSql = strSql & " SET M_POINTS = M_POINTS + " & PointValue
strSql = strSql & " WHERE MEMBER_ID = " & AMembersID
my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
Adding new store items gets a bit more complicated. You must go into the database and manually add a new record to STORE_ITEMS table, making note of the ID that gets assigned to it. Then, open up PurcahseItem.asp and add a new case to the case statement starting on line 62 with your new id number. Take a look at how the others are done as an example. Let me know if you have any trouble and I'll try and walk you through in more detail.
I'm on ICQ, MSN and AIM if you need me.< |
