Trophy Essentials [Paid] 1.0.5

Stuart Wright submitted a new resource:

Trophy Essentials - Hugely improve trophies by awarding them for ongoing user activity

Xenforo’s trophies are based on the idea of milestones. For example, when you hit the milestone of posting your first 30 messages, you get awarded 5 trophy points.
Though admin can create more milestones, there are always a limited number and if trophy points motivate members, then once you have reached the top milestone, you will no longer be motivated by trophy points. Cumulative trophies remove the limit to trophies. Trophies unlimited!

The importance of trophy points

To celebrate the launch of Trophy Essentials, I'm offering a 50% discount for the first 10 purchasers.
Use the code trophies50 at checkout.

[Edit 7th March 2023 - thanks to all those who purchased. For anyone thinking about it, there are still a small number of discounts left.]

Thanks

Seems like a neat idea, something I'll be looking into for sure..

Investigating, Gemma.

Stuart Wright updated Trophy Essentials with a new update entry:

Bug fixes

Fixed an incompatibility with the (deleted) Game Thread Starter addon
Fixed an issue with the progress bars not appearing in older versions of Xenforo 2.2

Read the rest of this update entry...

Trophy Essentials is running perfectly on my three forums because they are all running the latest version of Xenforo and not running the Game Thread Starter addon, so I didn't experience the issues fixed in this release.

This addon is what the default XF trophy system should have been like. It has already brought some positive impact on my forum.

Just a few suggestions for future.

1. Cumulative Trophy points are not shown in the About tab on a user profile.
2. Option to select nodes where the trophy progress are counted.
3. Option to enable or disable a trophy for specific user groups.

Glad you like the addon and thanks for the suggestions.
Looks like we need to tabify the bottom of the About page of a user's profile. I'll definitely put that on the To Do list.
There isn't an option in the core Xenforo to specify where milestone trophies are counted either, so this would be new functionality. I can see how there would be certain forums where trophies might not want to be counted.
Usergroup-specific trophies, yes, again, I can see how that would be useful.

Tweak to the way trophies are counted

We decided not to count trophy points for posts which do not count towards the post count.
If certain forums are set to not have the posts count towards users' post counts, then it makes sense not to award trophy points for them, either. This then maintains consistency between the post count and trophy points count.

Also Cumulative trophies were added to the About tab.

Cumulative trophies were added to the About tab in 1.0.2.

Can this be set to use "cumulative trophies"?

Well Trophy points are the total of Cumulative and Milestone trophy points, so yes, it already does.
I don't see any benefit in only using Cumulative points and excluding Milestone trophies for the user title ladder.

Feature request:
Monthly Top Users with the Highest Cumulative Points (count only the points they received for the last month)

Similar to this add-on, but for total cumulative points:

Top Posters of the Month (TPM2)

This plugin displays a selectable number of users with the most posts of the month (month and year are selectable) on a sepaerate page. New: Now also available as widget - with 3 Styles Furthermore the result can be filtered: Exclude user...

I like that request. Would probably cost £100-200, maybe. When I've sold enough copies of Trophy Essentials, I will think about it.

I'm willing to contribute to this feature.
Thank you.

I tend to not want to distinguish between Cumulative and Milestone trophies when it comes to calculating the points, because all trophy points are (presumably) good for the forum, and therefore we should count both types.
The potential problem comes with milestone trophies for adding an avatar (and other milestone trophies), where someone can remove and re-add their avatar in a particular month to have it included. So we would need to consider that. So ultimately it might just be cumulative trophies, though it gets complicated when people run both cumulative trophies and milestone trophies for posting and reactions (which, to me, makes no sense, because cumulative trophies for posting and reactions do make the same milestone trophies redundant).

Yes, for monthly top users.
There is no need to count for milestone trophy points.

I just came here to request the same!

 

[rdn]

Feature request; very useful for user-group promotions.

The user has received at least X trophy points: _ in previous: _ days

 

[rdn]

Is this expected?

After the add-on rebuilt the stats, the default Xenforo Most Points are off, not sorted correctly, and not the same value as the Most Trophy Points this add-on provides.

I'm aware of this note:

The member statistics page will need a tweak to disable the Most points list since the new Most trophy points list will be enabled by default…
