Say word.

Eagerly looking forward to both!

Good to hear, I'm working on finishing the update to xfPoints making it v1.0.7 and xfShop v1.0.5 then v2 work begins, anyone who takes advantage of the freebie will get a free upgrade to v2 of both. Current customers will get the free upgrade as well. There will be announcement on my site which I will link to once I'm ready to get this underway. Right now I need to get a style done for my site so I can get back to xfPoints update. LOL

Ok update almost finished, have to add the donating of points or giving of points to other users. Looking at if there are other ways to get points and had to put the paypal IPN back to the original but hopefully the rewrite I did to the original will actually work better this time around, oh yeah added the ability to add your own purchase points, payment log, transaction log, and will have this all set for v2 instead of another v1 due in part to the rewrite of paypal, adding of bigger features, and overall use.

Do you have a eta on the storefront? I am really anticipating on using points+shop so I can sell physical items and get rid of my offsite store. I believe the point system is an awesome way to get more ppl to post threads etc. so they can turn that into money to buy real items in the store. Ahhhhhh the wait lol

 

[Cupara]

LOL the storefront is a slower process especially v2 being an entire shop. Having to write the code for a cart and make it work without using files inside the root folder is the biggest problem. I still need to get v1 working fully again before I can even do v2.

Change to come: As I have noticed that my Paypal purchasing of points is a lost cause due in part to use the user upgrades you have to set your Paypal IPN therefore my feature won't work. However that is not preventing me from trying, I am looking at integrating with the User Upgrade system so points can be sold using it instead. Here is what is going to change.

xfPoints
- Paypal removed
- Tie into user upgrade system (slower and later release)
- Member to member donations
- Member transaction page as long as xfPoints is used with xfUser+ and xfShop
- Cleaning up the code more
- Finding more methods to earn points
- Bank to store points for later use

xfShop v1 (xfUser+ v1)
- Renamed to xfUser+
- Usergroup upgrades, title upgrades, etc
- Image shop if enabled
- Can use any point system
- Rewrite of templates for better load on XF and xfMobile (Mobile style in the works for XF)

xfShop v2
- Physical goods shop only
- Using cart system can pay through Paypal since all orders get emailed to seller
- Categories
- Optional point calculation if users can purchase items with points

Now this is not a full list but an in process list. Look for xfPoints v2 within a week minus purchasable points. xfUser+ is a 2 to 3 week release followed shortly by xfShop v2. These are estimates and in no way do they reflect the true expected time of release.

xfUser+ (xfShop v1) has been updated to working order. Working on xfPoints v1.1.0 which includes a few XenForo default file replacement, this I hope is only temporary but as long as upgrades of XenForo do not replace these files then you will only have to upload them once. Includes 1 template edit so user upgrades works on awarding points. Looking at mods to include support for so looking at an end of the weekend release. xfPoints Free will have an update later, probably shortly after xfPoints v1.1.0 release.

Any suggestions on mod support then link me to the mod and I'll have a look. I want to include at least 5 mods that will award points or use points to do actions.

 

[XenStyle]

Awesome Mythotical, this is one of my most anticipated add-ons, I am happy to see it's becoming reality

 

[Cupara]

Ok ran into issues with xfUser+ which required my attention. I am now back to updated xfPoints so should have an update out in a week or less.

 

[XenStyle]

Mythotical, are xfShop and xfUser designed to be used together or will they interfere with each other? I have uses for both

 

[Cupara]

xfShop as long as the route works with me will work seamlessly with xfUser+.

 

[Cupara]

Update almost complete, only had to update to make sure things worked and a new method of obtaining points. Unfortunately requires a template edit of an admin template.

 

[Cupara]

Mythotical updated xfPoints with a new update entry:

1 Fix, 3 Updates, 2 Additions

• Fixed points not being awarded when following another or losing points when unfollowing
• Updated 3 templates to change the look of some things dealing with the location of points display
• Added BarfiLounge Member Poke and XF Arcade integration. You can charge individuals to poke or play games. (Member poke is untested as I do not have a license)

I skipped 1.0.7 as that version initially was for a client, I didn't get paid so you get first hand additions listed above in...

Read the rest of this update entry...

I am now finishing work on my site so I can relaunch for the 48 hour freebie giveaway. All those who get xfPoints for free through the giveaway will manually have a renewal added which is paid yearly to continue receiving priority support and updates. Lifetime license is good for the last version you download before your year of updates expires. Luckily the yearly renewal is $10.

 

[Cupara]

So as I have found out I have no method to allow free giveaways with the current user upgrade system and I cannot limit paid resources to usergroups. Task 1 for tonight and tomorrow, create a giveaway application that everyone will need to use and close automatically after 48 hours. Add on to the RM usergroup selection and access. Then I get to create my license check file in my add-ons and the site.

 

[Cupara]

Resource Manager edits done. Next is the Freebie claim app. Looking at hopefully a relaunch the end of next week.

 

[Cupara]

Freebie app nearly complete, have the basis done, have to finish the license manager and test to make sure it works to prevent unvalidated from getting free licenses. Have more resource manager edits to do as well to implement with my license manager.

 

[Cupara]

Last update then I'm getting some sleep. Freebie app is finished, just having issues checking for claims that were done already to prevent multiple claims by the same user.

 

[Markos]

Great.
