Ease Of Expansion

[FrizzleFried]

How easy is it to add things this mod auto-awards for?   I currently run "the other" Gallery out there... how difficult would it be to incorporate awards for uploading / commenting / rating in that gallery system?  How difficult would it be to add an award for playing SMF Chess?  How about for winning a quiz in SMF Quiz?  How difficult would it be to add an award for handing out the most reputation using the Advanced Reputation mod or perhaps receiving the most rep in a certain time period?

Thanks!  VERY interested in the mod,  however ease of expansion is a key ...

It is easy to expand. You can upload and edit your own badges. You can either give the custom badges manually or modify the SMF files and include the badge awards call.

It is easy to expand Badge Awards. To create a custom badge. Click on the Add Badge link inside the Badge Awards admin.
On that page the main requirement is a unique action name. You will use this action name in your call to badgeawards to add a badge to a member if you are using it dynamically.


The Badges_AwardBadge takes a couple different parameters only the memberid and actionname are required Badges_AwardBadge($memberID,$actionname,$sendpm)

Example code below for custom actions

Code for SMF 1.1.x

Code: [Select]

// Badge Awards
global $sourcedir, $ID_MEMBER;
require_once($sourcedir . '/badgeawards.php');
Badges_AwardBadge($ID_MEMBER,'customactionname');
Badges_CheckMember($ID_MEMBER);
// End Badge Awards

Code for SMF 2.0.x

Code: [Select]

// Badge Awards
global $sourcedir, $user_info;
require_once($sourcedir . '/badgeawards2.php');
Badges_AwardBadge($user_info['id'],'customactionname');
Badges_CheckMember($user_info['id']);
// End Badge Awards

If purchased... do you/would you provide support for idiots like me who know just enough about PHP to get himself in to trouble?

WARNING: Think about this before answering... i can be a pain in the ass.



Thanks.

I can help with some placements just don't take up too many hours of support time that's all I ask.

Couple more questions...

(1) I see the license includes a copy for 1 forum... I assume you have no problem with my installing the mod on my test forum (only accessable by me) plus my regular forum?

and...

(2) My regular forum uses a very modified version of 2.0.2 with a modified default "curve" theme.  Do you anticipate I'll have to do many manual edits or does the mod primarily use hooks, etc?

1. A test forum is ok by me.


2. I do not use hooks for my mods at the moment. I do very few edits to the files that are easy to add to SMF 2.0 should work fine on even very modified forums.
