Point System Component?

bohn002 · 15.02.2005, 18:19

Just wondering if there is a component that would allow users on my site to get "points" by doing things. (sign up a new user, post pictures) and then they get points, 5 pts for adding a photo. they could redeem points for products, like a tshirt or something. so i would like the users to be able to see their current points, etc. anything out there like that? or will i have to do it on my own?

i have searched a lot to find a component like this, but havent found one.. if you make one, or find one, please let me know.

since you will get points for everything you do, it will be necessary to hack every component you want to add to his/her account.

for example:
if you use a gallery like the menalto: how the hell should the point-count-component know what pictures the user loaded up?
(yes there are usernames linked to a picture but what if he deletes a picture again??)

well, maybe it should be integrated to the community builder component or something like that..?

The way Mambo is built... It could be very messy to do something like this. Unless you made it as a component that somehow wrapped itself around all the other components. Then you could just plug in the other components variables to watch for as triggers to increase point value. I don't know how to program but I imagine it could get difficult.
