[Resolved] CubePoints and BuddyPress Intregration?

I’ve been using CubePoints with my single WP install to get people on contribute to my site.

They get points for posts, comments, forum posts, daily visit. I have giveaways and they

donate there points to a lottery account that I randomly pick from.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/

Anyway, they provide a simple API, so I was just wondering where I could put this code.
```
if( function_exists('cp_alterPoints') && is_user_logged_in() ){

    cp_alterPoints(cp_currentUser(), 10);

 }
```
So if they create a group they get some points, if they post an update/reply, etc.

Right now “Cubepoints Buddypress Integration” until I can think of a better name.

mm, that’s a question to ask the makers of the CubePoints plugin. I’m just extending it’s use to BuddyPress right now.

```
global $bp;

if ( !$bp->loggedin_user->is_site_admin )

return false;
```
This goes above the function_exists call.

Just an FYI, make sure that your plugin is BP-aware:

Thanks I added that admin code. Not sure if I understand how to make my Plugin BP-aware.

Is this correct? I tried this and it still works, so ..? lol Am I good? My plugin is only 1 file other than the readme.txt
```
// BuddyPress aware

function cubepointsbp() {



my ninja code here



}



if ( defined( 'BP_VERSION' ) )

cubepointsbp();

else

add_action( 'bp_init', 'cubepointsbp' );

// END BuddyPress aware
```

Yup that’s right.

The other thing is you might need to ensure that CubePoints is loaded as well.

Try something like this in your cubepointsbp() function:
```
function cubepointsbp() {

if ( function_exists( 'cp_init' ) ) {

//your ninja code

}

else {

// display error message

add_action( 'admin_notices', 'cubepointsbp_error_msg');

}

}



function cubepointsbp_error_msg(){

echo '<div class="error fade" style="background-color:red;"><p><strong>CubePoints for BP requires the CubePoints plugin in order to work. Please deactivate this plugin or activate <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/">CubePoints</a>.</strong></p></div>';

}
```
Untested… but see if that works.
