BuddyPress.org

That is my project for next week.

I’m going to be developing both a user rating system, which should be pretty simple, and in network token system.

The current site which we are porting over to has a hot or not style voting for all members. We are going to develop a way to import current users ratings to make sure no one looses their ranking.

For the in-site money, we currently have a token system, with a 12k plus tokens already in circulation, so we can’t just throw those out during the conversion. We are going to start by having people give gifts to other members. Every gift will cost X tokens. Eventually we will be adding a real store, where people can make purchases with tokens, once we ensure the system can’t be hacked or gamed unfairly.

Ok Great News, changed 4 lines of Code, and get ratings working at a simple level for users.

Foldio 2 – Portable Lightbox

I took the wp-postrating plugin, normally designed to allow vistors to rate posts, and feed in the custom id of the user id. I had to bypass the area where it try’s to validate the number as a post, but overall seems to work.

Now I can take the widget and modify that to show top users, instead of top posts.

Try it out here:

Let me know what you think,

Pardon me for shang-hi-ing this conversation for a second, but I can’t figure out how to post a new topic. Every time I do, I get a “Topic Not Found” error. I’m obviously doing something wrong, but I can’t quite figure out what.

Never mind. Got it to work.

I think you can by implementing:

<?php

if (is_loggedin) {

// some code

}else{

echo('You're not logged in');

or something like this.

also, what if you can benefit from this plugin:

but make it work for MU and for buddypress sso that the rating will add point to the users’ tokens or karma…. and so on..

I would be interested in posting the code I have, for both my token system and rating system, but I’m holding all my code hostage until there is a photo album. Also, more importantly I’m waiting for Version 1.0, so I can ensure users will be using the code on the same base as I have tested it on. With frequent changes to the core, and not enough time to commit changes back to the plugin repo, It would quickly break plugins developed under beta code.
