Allow your users to buy points using paypal
CubePoints is a point management system designed for Wordpress blogs. Users can earn points by posting comments or creating posts on your site. You may also allow user to donate/transfer points to one another.
Encourage your users to comment on your posts by offering them points which could be used to purchase items / upgrades / etc. Users will be awarded a certain number of points for each comment they make. If the comment is deleted from the admin panel, the points will automatically be deducted. CubePoints also comes with an admin panel which gives administrators the ability to alter the points of their users quickly and easily.
If you like this plugin, digg it!
The TODO list for CubePoints:
Allow your users to buy points using paypal- A store to buy items (be it virtual or real)
Want a feature on CubePoints? Comment below and we will definitely consider it! CubePoints is available in Chinese, English and German. Interested in translating it? Send your translated .mo and .po files to admin@techcube.net!

This is a great plugin. Have been searching for smth like this for a while.
I would have a suggestion though,instead of the donations, is there a possibility to have reputation points like there are in yahoo answers, and store them for a widget that would show the top 10 contributors?
thanks again for the plugin.
December 27th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Thank you.
Would you care to elaborate about the reputation points that you would like to have? If it’s feasable, I would consider adding your feature request to the next release of CubePoints.
December 27th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I think I understand what you mean. It is not hard at all to show the top 10 users in the sidebar.
Put the following code into cubepoints.php:
function cp_topUsers($amt)
{
global $wpdb;
$results = $wpdb->get_results(’select * from wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key = cpoints LIMIT ‘ . $amt . ‘ ORDER BY meta_value DESC’);
$i = 1;
foreach ($results as $result)
{
echo $i . “: ” . get_usermeta($result->user_id, nickname) . ” – ” . cp_formatPoints($result->meta_value);
$i++;
}
}
Install a widget where you can run PHP. Run the following code: cp_topUsers(10). This feature might show up in the next release =)
Thanks for the suggestion!
(BTW, that was a 5 minute code, and there might be some bug in it… report when you see any!)

Thank you very much! This is just what I was looking for!
When does the new version will be available?
Please add the function which gives the post author ability to rate commenter and add him/her some coins. Also commenters to give some coins each other.
December 28th, 2008 at 6:27 am
This is a great plugin.I ll be waiting for top 10 user.(I try it but get errors :( ).thanks very much
December 28th, 2008 at 8:18 am
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
Regards
December 28th, 2008 at 11:22 am
“Please add the function which gives the post author ability to rate commenter and add him/her some coins. Also commenters to give some coins each other.”
That function is already built in. Your commentors can “donate” points to each other, which I think is what you meant by “give coins to each other.”
We can add a function for post authors to give coins too, hopefully.

[...] CubePoints has an admin panel providing the admin with the ability to adjust the points of users quickly and easily. [...]
December 28th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
A small statistic page where will be shown information about who gave me points, when and for which comment would be great (but not in admin panel please).
sorry if this function is already added too :)
December 28th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
This feature would be added in our next release of CubePoints. (:
December 29th, 2008 at 12:45 am
Very Good !
December 29th, 2008 at 2:24 am
-A post-ratins function.
-Integration with wp-quiz (user earn ponits solving quiz) or improve similar function for cubepoints
And congratulations for this great plugin!
December 29th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Hi Carlos,
As I’ve written in the documentations, it is easily possible to integrate CubePoints with other plugins such as wp-quiz. However, you would need to edit the wp-quiz plugin. Would you like me to help you with that? If so, just reply here again (:
As for the post rating function, would you mind elaborating more? I don’t quite get that.
Thanks
December 29th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Hello, I love the concept. Where can users view the point totals? Is it public next to their comments or something they can only view in their personal dashboard? Thank you!
December 29th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Currently, they are able to see their own points from the sidebar widget. You got to enable the CubePoints widget under Appearance -> Widget. We are working to allow everyone to view user’s points right from the comment itself. (:
December 30th, 2008 at 1:04 am
This is a great plugin!
There is one function I would like (if not there already).
Could it be set to only give points on post creation?
I would like points just for new posts, not comments.
I’ll try it out, thanks :)
December 30th, 2008 at 1:12 am
Hello Abe,
As mentioned on the page above, the next update to CubePoints will have this feature to allow your users earn points from creating pages / posts.
If you don’t want users to be awarded points for comments, simply set the number of points for each comment to 0.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:32 am
I would really love to see the advanced point system where you can donate on a page and have a store created! It would be awesomeeee.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:51 am
Hello, I just try to find some use of wordpress as a learning tool.
We need? ->A gradebook add-on. ->Ability for the teacher -and just the teacher or admins- to rate every post…
Well, that is what I have in mind and maybe help you understand what I was wondering in the previous post.
Regarding wp-quiz or quizzin o some similar plugins, their utility is able to record in the database the result of the test/exercise, and then take these data into the user’s/studiant’s account and accessible for the teacher(to approach the concept of gradebook)
I think many teachers who use wordpress be grateful for any help on these features
(I hope you undertans the idea with my poor “english”)
December 30th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Nice one!!! :) I had searching for a similar plugin for a while! :)
But… It be really great if you can implement the CubePoints only for colaborators of the blog. And that the points rise with their posts (and if they post in a special category then extra points or something like that).
If you manage to do this it will be really useful!
December 30th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Hi, I just installed this plugin and would like to ask about something someone pointed out earlier.
““Please add the function which gives the post author ability to rate commenter and add him/her some coins. Also commenters to give some coins each other.””
I am also interested in seeing this happen. Unlike registered users, these regular comment posters do not show up in the admin panel or in the Manage part of CubePoints. Is it possible to edit their points or to add this feature in the next version?
Also, looking forward to the next version, thanks!
December 30th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
@Panther:
I understand what you mean. But users have to be logged in for them to earn points because only that way can they use their points to use their points to buy virtual / real items. If you’re looking for a plugin similar to YouTube’s comment rating, I could code that for you if I have some extra time. Do correct me if I’m misinterpreting you.
@Carlos:
Ehh I still don’t quite understand you. If you want a plugin where people can rate every posts, you might want to take a look at WP-PostRating.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postratings/
@Brandon:
Don’t worry, that is already on the TODO list and should be out on the next release of CubePoints (:
December 30th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Jonathan: It is fine. I do not own a blog that sells stuff or gives out stuff though this system could indeed be used to do that in the future. I just want to be able to reward people who comment on a blog, it helps in the future if I ever want to give away stuff, and it also encourages people to comment in a way, which I wish as a message to get out to people.
Maybe you could do a separate, related plugin that does not require registered users, a sort of sister plugin to this that can be used on blogs that are not really professional or formal. Would that be better in the long run? There are many blogs like that, the problem is of course whether they pick up on the idea. Thanks for the prompt response!
December 30th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
@Panther: The problem is, unregistered users are a little harder to track. The only way to track them is by their email addresses. I could think about that and let you know if its possible to do something like this.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
@Wildgames: The next release of CubePoints will allow users to get points from posts too. (:
December 31st, 2008 at 5:16 am
:D Wow! That will be nice!!! It will be useful if the admin can choice between give points for posts, comments or both.
Thanks in advance! :)
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Version 1.1 of CubePoints has officially been released today.
We have listened to your suggestions and feedback and added in new features!
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Great! I’m still waiting for a statistic page. :)
Thank you very much!
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:25 pm
We decided to release what we have done so far first.
Rest assured, a statistics/log page will be here very soon in the next release (:
January 3rd, 2009 at 2:53 am
Hey, Thanks for the great Plugin.
I have update to v1.10 and now my design will be destroyed for Posts
With v1.0 (OK)

With v1.1 (destroyed)

And can we become a Option, no Points for Post when the User is a Admin? (Or other User level)
greeting

January 3rd, 2009 at 9:21 am
Hey Jonathan, I updated to 1.1, and my AJAX and post layout got destroyed. No screenshots unfortunately, I was working around with it. I narrowed it down to CubePoints being the culprit, so I was wondering if you could fix this. Thanks.
It basically borked the spacing in my .entry column and also did not allow my Meta to be clicked upon, ie. everyone had to see the meta automatically and it loaded as a section, it was supposed to be hidden within my theme.
Is this perhaps a theme-based problem?
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:23 am
Hi Thunder-man,
Would you like to send a URL to your site, so that we can better investigate the problem? Thanks.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:47 am
Hey Peter,
my Site is http://svsload.com/wd/
(now installed CubePoints v1.0 this is OK)

Thunder-man and THX for your Help
January 3rd, 2009 at 10:14 am
Hi Jonathan Lau!
First of all! Happy new year and thanks for the new version! :) Works fine for me!
New interesting functions to be considered for future versions, in my opinion:
- All the users can view the top list of users with their points or the user can view in the admin panel his points (I believe that is more useful that view the points in the comments).
- Contabilize “Total Points” and “Available Points” (which is total less used points).
- With total points counted, it be useful a top of 10 users most participative (top of total points earned). :)
And, please, do you have a Paypal account? I want to donate for your great work and because I find very useful this plugin for my blog. :)
Greetings!
PD: Sorry for my poor english! I’m from Spain and I still have to work hard my English.
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:03 am
@Thunder-man: Would you like to provide us with a demo account? I tried to register but I guess you disabled registration or something. (That was only a guess.. I couldn’t understand the language :X)
@Wildgames: On the next release, we are planning to have a log system to log down every transaction, and so I believe the first and third suggestion is going to take place very soon =). I don’t realy get what you mean by “Contabilize”… would you like to explain further?
There is a “Donate button” in the post, under the download and SVN links, you can use that =). Also, your English is not bad at all!
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:33 am
Hi Peter, I have send you the Info for the Demo Account.

Thanks, Thunder-man, I am looking at it, and hopefully I can get it sorted by today.
January 4th, 2009 at 1:46 am
Hi Peter,
really nice plugin with a whole lot of possible potential!
Some notes from my side:
1.) Userscreen loads very long with 2.000+ Users. Try to avoid loading the gravatar images and/or split the overview to several screens. An option to choose how many should be shown would be quite nice.
2.) Translation is urgently needed! If i translate all strings that would do also, but with the next release that would have to be re-done. If you would be able to supply an english .po file, you have a german translation from me in no time, promised!
January 4th, 2009 at 2:30 am
Hello Thomas,
Thanks for your compliments and suggestions.
1) We will add pagination for the user management screen, possibly with an option to show how many will be shown on a page. You could also use the search feature to filter users.
2) We will try our best to make all strings into .po files for translations to other languages in the next release too.
Regards,
Jonathan
January 4th, 2009 at 4:21 am
Thanks for your quick reply, Jonathan!
Ad 1.) Yes, i can use the searchfeature. That is not the problem. The problem is, that it takes ages to look up and load every single gravatar of my 2000+ users in the /wp-admin/admin.php?page=cubepoints/cubepoints.php !
If i may add up to me previous request: Make an option available to let admin see gravatars or not plus what i said above.
Ad 2.) I guess that would be on high demand, thanks for taking this on the priority list! As for me – i can barely use your plugin now on a german-only site. It’s just against all odds to have just several pieces in english..
Been fiddling around with CubePoints now for the past hours. Docs were of some help, some other things i had to find out on my own.
If you want to display the “Points” every user has achieved so far just next to his comment (as i do on my website now), you just have to add up a snippet of code to your comments.php Template in the foreach () Section:
user_id > 0)) { ?>(user_id”);?>)
This will display the according users Communitypoints. The snippet also checks if the user is logged on (UserID > 0) to prevent scoredisplay for guestusers.
Some more ideas coming up in combination with simplepress-forums ;)
Please keep up the development, great thing :)
January 4th, 2009 at 4:23 am
Hm, Code got all messed up. Here is another try:
<?php if((function_exists(’cp_displayPoints’)) && ($comment->user_id > 0)) { ?>(<?php cp_displayPoints("$comment->user_id");?>)<?php } ?>
January 4th, 2009 at 4:25 am
Hello,
No problem. We will try our best to make those features available in the next release soon.
If you like the plugin, you can help us by rating us on WP Plugin Directory!
Thanks!
January 6th, 2009 at 6:47 am
If you disable point donation it does not remove the “Donate Points” link from being displayed in the widget.
January 6th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Hello Armand Morin,
Thanks for letting us know about that.
This bug will be fixed in the next release.
If you want a quick fix, just remove line 277 from cubepoints.php
Thanks,
Jonathan
January 7th, 2009 at 12:45 am
Hello Panther, Thunder-man & all those who have similar problems with the spacing below the post title.
This was due to ThickBox’s (one of the jQuery javascript library we used) css defaulting the padding & margin for all elements to 0.
This will be fixed in the next release.
For an immediate fix, remove the first 3 lines of thickbox.css.
Thank you.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:57 am
For everyone who wants to integrate CubePoints into Simple-Press Forums 4.x please follow the discussion in the Simple-Press Forums..
Kind of “my project” to get the WHOLE site “communitized”. And seems to work perfectly right now. :)
January 7th, 2009 at 7:32 am
Excellent work, Thomas A! Thank you very much for that integration and spreading the words!
January 7th, 2009 at 11:47 am
I noticed that CubePoints adds points every time a user updates a post too. Users could screw the system and hit a couple of times the update button to add points without writing a new post. Could you fix this? Or add a feature to have the option to add a smaller amount of points for updating a post (e.g. 20 points for a new post, 5 points for an updated post). Thank you.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Thanks for reporting that bug, Oliver. We will look into it and solve it on the next release (which should come in 2 or 3 days)
January 7th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Well, nothing to thank for – it was just my personal interest, but why not share it? :)
The updated version now seems to work as expected. Just some additions and it will be perfect. I’ll keep you updated..
Maybe it would be nice, if the script could check for a SF-Forums installation. If there is, give an option to in/exclude forums and make points addition/deduction administrable from the backend rather than having to hardcode it into the sf-scripts.
January 7th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
May I suggest to add a feature to list all users who have points or the top x users with their points – like the top posters widget. Like…
- Oliver 545 Points
- Max 423 Points
- Mary 239 Points
- Karl 8 Points
A true redemption system would be cool. Like airline miles. You collect points and you can redeem it for something (that’s how I use it to motivate my team to blog). The system counts total lifetime points, keeps a current point status, and shows redeemed points. Just a suggestion. The system is great – thank you.
January 7th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
@Thomas A: That could easily be done. If that doesn’t show up in the next release, it will show up in the one after the next. =)
@Oliver: For the stats, feature, we are still working on it, but it should be out soon (promise!). We had that “redeem” feature (or similar) planned already. We are planning to have a “shop” or something either built on Cubepoints or integrate CubePoints to an existing plugin.
January 8th, 2009 at 2:02 am
Dear Oliver,
The feature you requested (list the top x users) has been completed and will be available as a widget in the next release.
Here’s a sneak preview:
http://orbitupload.com/get/cp04.png
If you like this plugin, we would appreciate if you could help us by rating it on the Wordpress Plugin Directory or by donating to us :D
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/
To those who are waiting, the next release will be available in 1 to 2 days time.
Thanks.
January 8th, 2009 at 2:30 am
Looks good – this is great stuff. I have one suggestion so… to be able to display the total of posts and comments for each user too, e.g.
- Oliver 24P 69C $867
- Max 19P 102C $487
I think you get the idea.
I’m using a widget to display the user name and total of posts already. If you click on the user name, it displays all posts of the user.
Anyway, thanks for your hard work on the plug-in.
January 8th, 2009 at 2:36 am
Hello,
I actually thought of that initially. But I thought adding the number of posts and comments would make the line too long. I could add them as in an option for you, or maybe make the info show up when hovered.
Also, many thanks to you for giving suggestions!
If you could, would you mind donating a few dollars to support this plugin? Peter and I are in fact just 16 year old kids who actually don’t even have enough money to keep the hosting going for long :P
Would really appreciate if you could support us and this plugin (:
Thanks.

January 11th, 2009 at 4:19 am
This is great – just updated my Wordpress. How can I use the list of top posters and their points on a page (instead of Widget)?
January 11th, 2009 at 6:54 am
Hi folks,
A long discussion since last time i visited here. This shows that the plugin is liked by people. I see a good future for it.
However, I see that the plugin has somehow taken another direction of what I was thinking.
My suggestion was more or less based on the intensedebate.com model.
I don’t know how hard it is to code it or what one needs, cuz I am not a coder myself, however, I think it would be really a hit if someone would come up with something similar. Intense debate is OK, but the problem is that you cannot edit/adopt it, and the only language is english, which limits the usability.
January 11th, 2009 at 7:05 am
omg this is just awesome guys, just perfect)) thank you VERY MUCH, i’ll be looking forward to next releases!
January 11th, 2009 at 8:23 am
@Article Meister: Please correct me if I misunderstood you, but did you expect a “comment rating” thing?
January 11th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Alguem sabe se é possível zerar os pontos de todos os usuários cadastrados?
January 11th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Great! Thanks again for the plugin.
If you may found time to check the possibility of integration with a plugin like quizzin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quizzin/) you can help to improve the leargning capabilities of wordpress. Regards
January 11th, 2009 at 10:13 am
@Edson GT: Sorry… the only languages I understand is English and Chinese…
@Carlos: We are planning on doing some integrations lately. We will consider integrating quizzin, thanks for the suggestion!

@ThecounT: That is really weird. Can you describe further about the situation? What plugins do you have? What version of Wordpress?
January 11th, 2009 at 10:50 am
hey, 2.7 It worked fine with first and second version. Just went to auto-upgrade and got this error, it also crashed my sidebar (removed cube code to get back sidebar) Deleted plugin folder and uploaded via FTP just in case and got same error.
I have OPP/ seo/ nextneg/ post teaser/ etc
January 11th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
where can I DL older version to get this thing back up?
January 11th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/download/
We are sorry about the problem, and should fix it as soon as possible.
January 11th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Hello ThecounT,
I think the problem is with the version of PHP you are using.
I roughly know the problem and will release a quick fix soon today.
It would help if you could let me know your PHP version.
You might want to take a look at this page which describes the error:
http://bytes.com/groups/php/5549-t_object_operator-error
Apparently, the “chaining” syntax is only available in PHP5.
Meanwhile, the older versions are always available here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/download/
Sorry about that.
January 11th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
To check your php version, create an empty php file with the following code:
< ?php echo 'Current PHP version: ' . phpversion(); ?>
Upload it, and access to that page.
January 11th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
New Version is great..just a question..How can I filter “Admin” from top users widget? I dont want to use my name as a top user .. thanks very much
January 11th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
What if it is possible to reset the points for all registered users at once?
January 11th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
One suggestion: I think it would be great to add users some points only for entering the site, for example only one point, once a day. Admin must have the ability to choose whether activate this function or not.
January 11th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Hi Levani,
We will consider your request.
Anyone second this idea or have any comments on this?
Thanks.
January 12th, 2009 at 3:55 am
Current PHP version: 4.4.7
January 12th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Yes, I do second Levani´s request. And I do also second the request for a comment rating system. Both should be configurable though and optional to de/activate !
Btw: Thanks for having the open bugs fixed and implementing some of the suggested functions! Great work..
EDIT: Some BIG performance problems when activating the Top-Users widget with more than 2000+ registered users. I FEAR (couldn´t check so far) that you´re not limiting the rows to the number that is set in the widget?
January 12th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Hey guys
I love the plugin, however it completely crashes the featured gallery plugin I’m using :(
I’d like to add a couple of ideas, for future releases.
- I want to second the redeemable points
- Second the Admin filtering
- Possibility to change the name points to something else
- Points visiting pages?
Thank you!
January 12th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Could you provide the english .po-file, please? You’ll have a german translation then in no time as promised.. Thanks in advance!
To add up to my above comment: After a quick check – Yes, the query on line 634 is not limiting the rows that get pulled from the db but loads ALL of them. That is becoming a real performance leak here. This goes for the complete cp_getAllPoints function anyway. There should be an optional limiter – it makes no sense to fetch the whole userdb for display on the sidebar. Will dive into this later and try to find a fix when i’m at home..
January 12th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Thank you very much, Thomas A., for pointing that out. We will make a bugfix release shortly, I promise! Also, for po file, I hope I can have one ready for you when I fix that bug. Not sure if I could do that though. My finals are coming up tomorrow :(
@Ninjadoodle: “Possibility to change the name points to something else”. Would you like to elaborate more on that? You can change the prefix/suffix to the points, so instead of $5, you can make it 5 AwesomePoints or some sort. Where do you see “Points”?
January 12th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Woot, it was a quick fix. Wait for about 10 minutes and I should be able to get it up.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
I updated v1.2.1, however because I don’t have the permission to commit to the wordpress directory, so I just zipped the files and uploaded to my own space.
If you don’t feel safe, v1.2.1 in the directory should come in tomorrow… or later today.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Hi everyone, great plugin. I was testing it out on my Easyphp installation which i normally do on all plugins and got the following error:
Notice: Undefined index: q in C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Escritorio\Copia\www\wp-content\plugins\cubepoints\actions.php on line 4
Any ideas on what the problem might be? Thanks.
@ Peter and Jonathan: Will be great if other commenters can view on the sidebar (widget) what top commenters got (their gift) for each particular month to encourage others to comment too.
January 14th, 2009 at 12:07 am
This is a really great script, but we want it to work so that we get points when you’re clicking on a specific link on the site.
This is the code we use to get the link on the site:
<?php
function Dynamic(){
$picture = ‘var picture_newwindow=true;
‘;
print $picture;
?>
Where do we add the CubePoints code?
January 14th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Hey guys
You must have fixed the error I was getting as the plugin no longer crashes with the Featured Content Gallery – awesome :)
As far as the points question … I was talking about where it says
My Points:
and Points: $5
I know I can change the dollar sign and also put a suffix in, but it would be cool if I could change the word point to for example Tokens. Hope I’m not missing something :)
Thank you again guys!
January 14th, 2009 at 6:31 am
Just after I wrote the last message, I realised how to change the title!
Now all that’s missing is redeemable points :)
Sorry about that!
I seem to have a new problem tho … when I click donate points … I get a 404 not found page.
January 14th, 2009 at 8:20 am
YO guys, thanks for the update again – Seems to work much better in all aspects of performance! But just some small notes/suggestions:
1.) Is it just on my site that it doesn’t list the top ten users now?! As it seems it lists some of my users who registered first..?
2.) It would be nice to display the DISPLAY_Name instead of the USER_LOGIN. I did a quick hack, you may come up with something better..
Line 150;
$array = $wpdb->get_results(’SELECT id, user_login, meta_value, display_name FROM `’.$wpdb->prefix.’users` LEFT JOIN `’.$wpdb->prefix.’usermeta` on ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’users.id = ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’usermeta.user_id AND ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’usermeta.meta_key=\”.POINTS.’\’ LIMIT ‘ . $amt .’;',ARRAY_A);
Line 639:
echo ‘<li><a href="’.PLUGIN_DIR.’actions.php?&a=info&quser=’.$data['user_login'].’" class="cp_info jTip" id="cp_widget_info_’.$data['user_login'].’" name="’ . __(’Points’,'cp’) .’">’.$data['display_name'].’ (’.cp_formatPoints($data['meta_value']).’)</a></li>’;
3.) I could send you the translated german po/mo files, but for some reason the translation won’t work on my site. Renamed the .mo file to ‘cubepoints-de_DE.mo’ as usual and its also readable through the webserver. That should normally do it, doesn’t it?
January 14th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Ok here I am again. It looks like my cubepoints folder had the wrong name that’s why it wasn’t loading the ajax pop-up.
Now it’s back to what it was before as the Gallery dosn’t display again … there must be some sort of clash between the Featured Content Gallery plugin and the Cubepoints Ajax popup :(
Is there anyway you guys can look into this in the future?
Thank you again for the awesome work!
January 14th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Oh crud, here it goes again, my careless “fixing”. Sorry guys, I will figure that top widget and translation problems in just a while
@Ninjadoodle: I will sure look into that problem. Which Gallery plugin do you use? NGG?
January 14th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Man, I was so stupid, sorry about that, everybody. The new v1.2.1 has fixed the bug, however because I still have not committed to the WP Plugin Directory, I won’t bother to change the version number. Deep apologies to everybody, and thank you for understanding!
Both bugs should be fixed. Can you check, Thomas A? Thanks.
January 14th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Hi Peter
The plugin I use is FEATURED CONTENT GALLERY PLUGIN V2.1
http://www.revolutiontwo.com/plugins/featured-content-gallery.htm
Thank you!
January 14th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Hey Peter, the update fixes something somehow – but it still doesn’t work as expected i think. On my site it now displays people with a somehow higher rank on top. But there are people with even higher scores missing. Like me and like two of our authors. Funny thing: On top is still one author but just that one with the lowest rank.. ??!?!
Besides, it shows people who seem to never have left a comment (as the flyout window says: 0 posts, 0 comments) with a certain score. Score in the database seems to be correct, so I fear it’s pulling wrong data from the DB for the flyout-window??!
Honestly, i’m a bit confused.
Some other suggestion in that context:
1.) Would be nice if one could filter out admins and other groups editors or so if desired for display in the widget. Or to have JUST admins, editors, authors or whatever listed. For me, a codesnippet would do, for others configurability would for sure be preferrable..
2.) Would also be nice if the list in the admin view was sortable.
a.) Score increasing/decreasing.
b.) Name – preferrably the display_name instead of the Login_Name (nobody needs to know with which name I log in..)
c.) Filter using Userrole (Just admins/editors/etc..)
Keep up the good work, guys – hear from you later when the fix is ready ;)
January 14th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Tell you what… I myself is confused too, lol. This is more complicated then I thought it was, so I might need some more time on this. Really really deep apologies.
When I fix the bug, I will most likely add a filter function. Thanks for the suggestion!
January 14th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Also… just clarifying, but what do you mean by “rank”?
January 14th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
“Rank” == The place on the Top X Userlist or its sorting order.
Highest Rank == Most aggregated points, lowest Rank == 0 Points etc.
January 14th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
This is a really great script, but we want it to work so that we get points when you’re clicking on a specific link on the site.
This is the code we use to get the link on the site:
Where do we add the CubePoints code?
January 14th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
I guess you need to re-route the download/click through a certain script and then add/subtract a certain score when the script is called. I personally do not see any other chance to what you want to achieve (but may be wrong)..
As for “Rivers” request above: I would insert the code when the link is actually CALLED. The script that is included above just seems to DISPLAY the link. I wouldn’t add/subtract points just when they get displayed ;)
Example: I’m using the “Wordpress Download Monitor” Plugin and I extended it to add/subtract points when the download gets called, after its logging the download and everything else worked just smoothly. At the very end of the function the hook to the CubePoints scripts is called like this, which would add one point if the user is logged on and Cubepoints activated:
if( function_exists(’cp_alterPoints’) && is_user_logged_in() ){
cp_alterPoints(cp_currentUser(), 1);
}
Works perfectly well for me, but needs manual editing of plugin files.
January 15th, 2009 at 12:14 am
I liked the plugin when i came across it. But it seems everyone has some sort of complaint and nobody to give a real answer.
Everyone is not technical like some of you guys. Please technical people what might be the cause of this problem?:
Notice: Undefined index: q in C:Documents and SettingsadminEscritorioCopiawwwwp-contentpluginscubepointsactions.php on line 4
It happens when i mouse over the top user names on the sidebar.
For some reasons which is not known to me the backward slashes on the error info was automatically removed after posting the comment.
Thanks all.
January 15th, 2009 at 2:03 am
@Rich: We are looking to fix this problem. Should be fixed within a day or two. Sorry about that.
@Thomas: Thanks. I like some of your suggestions and will definitely implement some in the next release. Thanks for trying to help other users too (:
@Ninjadoodle: I will download that plugin myself and test it. Again, it should be working in a day or two.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:24 am
@Thomas A: I have sent you something through the email you used for these comments. Because of my own mistake, I sent about 4 in 5 minutes, so I am afraid it was considered spam. If you see this message, would you like to send a message to peter [at] axieblast [dot] com? Thanks.
We plan to do some integration in the next release, but we are still looking at it =)
January 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Hello,
I am trying to activate the plugin (version 1.2.1) using Wordpress 2.7
When I activate it, I get the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /[wordpress path]/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 524
Looking at the code, i can’t seem to see anything that is out of place. Any ideas?
jason
January 15th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
The T_OBJECT_OPERATOR error will appear if your PHP is anything older than PHP 5. I will fix this awhile later.
January 15th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
I have one more suggestion. I think it would be very nice to create groups like on forums. For example if the user have less than 100 point he would be in “Amateur” group, if he has from 100 to 200 points he would be in “Members” group and so on. I think it would be even more encouragement to add comments and create posts.
I hope you understand what I mean. :)
January 15th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I’m delighted with this plugin, but I don’t allow user registration on some sites :-( Please can you make an option to log points from email address and not just registration IDs. Thanks.
January 16th, 2009 at 12:08 am
Hello everyone,
Sorry about the bugs in the previous versions.
If you are using version 1.2.1, please upgrade to version 1.2.2 as soon as possible. The latest version fixes the bug in the Top Users widget.
Also, those that are using PHP 4 and below, you might have received the T_OBJECT_OPERATOR error. This should be fixed in v1.2.2.
We have also rewritten some of the internationalization functions so translating would be much easier.
Do let us know by commenting here if you find any bugs in the latest version. Thanks.
@Richard: We will consider if its possible to make a similar plugin that logs points based on emails. No promises yet, cause the whole plugin would have to be rewritten.
@Levani: Could you elaborate more on the groups thing? Would the groups act as just a status or would it have any practical use like accessing content only available to a certain group?
January 16th, 2009 at 12:47 am
@Jonathan Lau
Well, I think there should be some simple conditional php codes to execute different action for different group. This will give admin ability to use these groups as he wants.
January 16th, 2009 at 3:16 am
guys, i’am trying to use CubePoints with WP MU 2.6.5 but i can’t get it right.. my Manage page is empty.. is it compatible with MU version of WP?
January 16th, 2009 at 4:44 am
Hey Jonathan & Peter, thanks for another quick update!
The good news: Sorting and performance of the top-users widget seem to be just finde.
Codestyling Localization Plugin DOES in fact detect CubePoints plugin and allow to translate it.
Bad news : It seems I can try to do whatsoever I want – there will no be translation displayed on the site. File-attribs are correct, everything else seems to be correct. But no translation at all. I just don’t get it..
January 16th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Thanks Jonathan.
Now I’m getting the same error on line 499:
syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /[my path]/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 499
January 16th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Sorry, I don’t have PHP4 so i couldn’t test it out.
Could you try change line 499 from this:
$source = get_userdata($result->source)->user_login;
to this:
$source_tmp = $result->source;
$source_tmp = get_userdata($source_tmp);
$source = $source_tmp->user_login;
Let me know if it works.
Thanks.
January 16th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
@gerbil: I’m not sure if it works in WPMU but I will test it out myself and see if I can get it to work.
@Levent: The next release will allow you to filter users from the Top Users widget so you can configure it such that admins won’t appear there.
January 17th, 2009 at 4:53 am
Hye! this plugin is working quite well for one of my wordpress mu web. I need a little favour please. Can you tell me is there any way to enable members to grab points for viewing other members’ blogs.
January 17th, 2009 at 5:18 am
We’re looking into implementing this feature in the next release. It *should* work with WPMU as well.
January 17th, 2009 at 7:04 am
@Esha, what should i do to make it work with WP MU 2.6.5? oO i can’t get it..
@Jonathan Lau, hope it’ll be soon..
January 18th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
I can’t just get it. I have been getting this error and nobody to help. Too bad.
Notice: Undefined index: q in C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Escritorio\Copia\www\wp-content\plugins\cubepoints\actions.php on line 4
@Jonathan or Peter, i sent in an email but, got no reply. Please help me, i know you guys are very busy.
Just point me on what to do so that this problem will go away.
It happens when i hover on the Top User Names on the sidebar.
Another thing which you might consider fixing is: your plugin breaks the WP-dTree plugin installed on my site and i believe it will on other sites running same plugin.
January 18th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Sorry, I missed your comment.
Apparently, your PHP error_reporting level is set such that a warning is sent for everything minor.
You should add this to the top of actions.php to suprress warnings:
error_reporting(0);
Otherwise, you could also change these lines:
$action = $_GET['a'];
$query = $_GET['q'];
To these:
if(isset($_GET['a'])) { $action = $_GET['a']; }
if(isset($_GET['q'])) { $query = $_GET['q']; }
Let me know if that fixed your problem.
January 19th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Hello Jonathan,
The cubePoints plugin is very nice. After test, i found that the user’s points cann’t be viewed publicly, it can be viewed by user when they login in only. How to make it public to all visitors (not login in and login in visitors)? Just same as forum’s user points. I like the top author fuctions, this feature is very useful to multiple authors WP site. Thanks for your good working!
January 20th, 2009 at 12:31 am
Thank you so much, Jonathan. It did the trick.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:14 am
Hi Jonathan,
Great plugin – just what I’m looking for to set up a points system on my new games website. I do have one suggestion though. Could you make it easier to place wherever you want (I don’t like using widgets and would like to have it in several places so I would rather have some code to embed it where I’d like to)?
Ideally I would like to be able to display both points and top users anywhere on my site.
Thanks again for making this though – it’s excellent!
January 21st, 2009 at 8:22 am
Hey Jonathan and Peter!
I hope you’re still busy getting improvements and suggestions up and running?
Got some suggestions, don’t know if these have been posted before
1.) If you want to donate points, have an (optional) formfield for a message to the receipient.
2.) Have another checkbox if you want to donate points in “ghost-mode”. “Ghosts” may still want to send a message..
3.) If you receive points, have a message appear somewhere (suggestion: your personal points-display-widget) that tells you that you received points from user x (if not sent as “ghost”) otherwise just a notification if applied to the donation. messages should be acknowledged and confirmed somehow before deletion though.
4.) Donations could be logged. A function to display users with largest amount of donations (altogether, sure) for a certain period of time (month/week/year/whatever) could be great for some people.
5.) Same goes for a function to display users with most points achieved over a certain period of time. A filter to fiter out admins/editors/etc would maybe come in handy here. This could actually be used to animate people to take part in the community and have give-aways based on the points gained in let’s say a week..
6.) Add another line to the popup that appears when you hover over the top-scorer to show donated points.
Anyway, keep up the good work, you’re on the right way guys, at least in my eyes ;)
January 21st, 2009 at 4:49 pm
I’m trying to assign different user “ranking” images based on the number of cubepoints someone has. Here’s what I havw, but it’s not working. Can anyone help? (images are just an example):
code:
$mytest = cp_displayPoints(”$comment->user_id”);
if ($mytest > 1 ) { ?>
50) { ?>
100) { ?>
150) { ?>
January 21st, 2009 at 4:52 pm
I’m sorry. I don’t know how to post code in the comments. (doh!)
Here it is:
http://www.zipperfish.com/cubepointscode.html
January 21st, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Instead of this:
$mytest = cp_getPoints(”$comment->user_id”);
Try this:
$mytest = cp_getPoints($comment->user_id);
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:39 am
Thanks Jonathan!
2 images are showing up now, looks like I’ll have to tweak it a bit, but it works! U Da Man!
January 22nd, 2009 at 7:38 am
Is possible to exclude users from the Top Users?
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:35 am
for a feature.. you should add membership types bronze golden etc.
and if you can do something like.. users earn points for clicking some advertisement links.. it is better for earning money for web sites.
if you need help about plugin I would like help you. thank you.
I am a pro php , iphone developer. but dont have much time.
January 22nd, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Version 1.2.3 of CubePoints has been released!
As requested, we have added an option to exclude certain users from the Top Users widget. This can be configured under the widget settings. Separate each username with a “,”.
Fixed problem where users with E_NOTICE turned on for error_reporting get the “Undefined index: q” error.
Fixed problem where users using older versions of PHP received the T_OBJECT_OPERATOR error.
Donation links removed from within the admin panel under comment management.
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Jonathan, great plugin!
Just one request.
As you know, there’s a “Donate?” link in the widget. When you press this, you get the donate box. From here, you have to personally type the ID to whom you’re donating to. (On the other hand, the “Donate” link embeded in the comment automatically inputs the ID of the person when the link is clicked)
So, would you be able to make a ‘dropdown’ menu containing all the site’s member ID in the ‘Donate To’ field found when you click on the “Donate?” link found in the widget?
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Could anyone tell me how to fix this plugin to work with MU version? :(
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
@James: It would be a huge performance issue for those sites with huge amount of users. What we did is similar to your request. Let’s say you have two users: John and Jonathan. If you type “jo” in the box, John and Jonathan would display in the drop down list.
January 24th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Hey guys, another error in 1.2.3:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/askseo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 534
BTW – your responsive and dedication to this plugin are awesome! keep up the great work!
January 24th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Can you refer a friend for points? This way someone could refer a friend and get points. Maybe the new register would add in their friends name or enter their friends name or logon id into their points system and get points for the friend.
This would encourage a more interactive user experience. We could tell our visitor they get x amount of points for referals, and they could refer friends for points.
January 24th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
This plugin sounds great. I have not had a chance to try it, but I have read through the comments. I hope some of the posters will use their redemable points to support this plugin.
I am also going to suggest, make this plugin work in wordpress stores, see if the people who make the store plugins can integrate your plugin.
Eg. A user can build up points and use the points at specific wordpress stores for discounts. They could be like, we accept cube points. This would give your application more exposure.
It sounds like you are working hard, and doing a good job. I look forward to trying out your plugin.
January 24th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
@Jason:
Ohh yehh. Sorry about that, will fix it again in the next release.
Meanwhile, you can change line 534 of cubepoints.php from:
$uid=get_userdata($result->uid)->user_login;
to:
$tmp=$result->uid;
$uid=get_userdata($tmp)->user_login;
@Ted:
Thanks thats a good idea, we would definately look into making referals work! As for the wordpress store, do you mean shopping cart scripts? Would you mind elaborating further? Thanks!
January 24th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Man I really wish my host would get with the times and get php5 (perhaps I’ll get a new host?).
That didn’t work, but I altered it based on your previous fixes and got it to work:
$tmp=$result->uid;
$uid_tmp=$get_userdata($tmp);
$uid=$uid_tmp->user_login;
Thanks for pointing me in right direction!
January 25th, 2009 at 12:12 am
Opps. Sorry again, cause like I said I didn’t have PHP4 to test it out. Good that you got it working (:
January 25th, 2009 at 12:48 am
Kind of like how world of warcraft have a points system that you can use for cash or shopping online.
Some wordpress sites have their own store. If there was a way to exchange 3000 cubepoints for 3.00 off store products.
It could be done manually, but if you have a busy store, is there a way that you could enter you cubepoints id at checkout and use the points for a discount, or exchange them for store credit first and then use them with the wordpress stores?
It might be a part of the redemption system, I am not sure how it could be set up.
I was also trying to think of a way to get this to work with google adsense, but I am not sure how that would work. A specific number of cubepoints go to your account if someone clicks on your ads? Not sure if the two could be integrated.
How feasable is it to get the refer a friend system integrated?
Thanks for your responses.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:50 am
I also think this would be great if the guys over at simple forum would integrate this into their next update, I know it’s up to them, but they really should use this since many sites are starting to use it.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:54 am
Hello Ted,
As for the referral system, its really feasible and I’ll try to include it in the next release.
Could you let me know which shopping cart plugin you are currently using? This is a little harder to implement, but we’ll try.
As for the Adsense, I’m sorry to say thats not possible. Firstly, its against Google’s TOS to give incentives to people for clicking advertisements. Secondly, its also impossible to track ad clicks.
Thanks.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:05 am
No apologies needed. It’s too bad I run on php 4 – but the good news is that I can help you debug it for others! :)
I also have a suggestion. If you’re going to work on a referral system, why not also add a feature that gives new users points just for joining? For example, sign up to my website and get 20 points! (amount set by admin). Just an idea.
Thanks again for the awesome plugin support. Other plugin authors could learn a lot from you!
January 26th, 2009 at 2:04 am
Yehh. That should be alright too. I’ll see if I can add that. Just have to use Wordpress’ “user_register” hook. Thanks for your suggestions!
January 26th, 2009 at 5:10 am
I didn’t see a reply to Rob’s post from Jan 21, but I’m in the same boat. I don’t like to use widgets and I would like to specifically call the top user widget where I want.
I was able to do it on a test site, but it was far more complex than it should be. Any thoughts about adding a function to simply call the top user widget via something like this:
cp_topPointsWidget(’Title’,'x amount of users’,'name,name,name’);
Serves the same purpose without having to provide an array.
Great plugin. As for the other posts, I like the idea of grouping people based upon the amount of points they have into levels set and named by the administrator – i.e. bronze, silver, gold, platinum at x amount of points each. It’s more of a status thing to display to promote interactivity.
I also think the ability for registered readers to click a thumbs up/down option to add/remove pts on comments would be great. Similar to how reddit does it and all the other comment karma ratings.
Keep up the good work.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
@Ted: If you had done a search on Simple-Press Forum Site for Cubepoints you’d have found that thread that almost solves the problem. Anyway, from what you can read there, it seems unlikely that they will integrate Cubepoints, even if they have an already 90% working solution there now and a scoring-system on their own roadmap anyway..
As for payment with Cubepoints this could be integrated just the same way with virtually any cart-system on or off your site. But in my eyes, integration should be done through the admin where and how s/he wants it, not through the script itself. The script itself should just support the “framework” to handle the points. Otherwise it will soon become too bloated and buggy. My 2cent.
Any news getting translations to work, guys?!
PS: I reckon the idea for some kind of comment karma!!
[Edit: Seems that i missed the follow-up postings on SF-Forums Site. Sorry! If you need any help integrating both and have any special ideas/wishes, get in contact to me through the contact form on my site, okay?)
January 27th, 2009 at 5:00 am
Hello,
Could anybody help and fix conflict with http://www.featuredcontentgallery.com? I need Cube Points, but can’t use it now.
January 27th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Hi Jonathan and Thomas,
Thanks for the feedback. I did check simplepress and suggested they consider implementing this points system.
I think the shopping cart idea you mentioned sounds more feasible.
I was not aware that was against googles terms of service. I was thinking of some way to use a point system for revenue sharing tracking, the way some other sites do, in the control panels. Mylot.com is what I was thinking.
Either way the plugin is great. Keep up the good work.
January 28th, 2009 at 2:34 am
Hi MarcinZ,
May I know what error or problem are you encountering? Describing any error messages or situations would help us fix the problem.
Thanks.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Hi Jonathan and Thomas, firstly i want to thank you for your great plugin – Cube Points.
I love this plugin, this help our site have more pageviews, comments,….
Can you write more…, such as, if someone want to see content in hidden area, their will be subtract points automatically?
Sorry, i come from Asia, i’m not good at English!
January 30th, 2009 at 8:55 am
I downloaded it and tried using it on my WordPress MU 2.6.5 website but it didn’t work. I mean it installed and it was activated but it failed to recognized registered users. None of them show up at the CubePoints CP.
January 30th, 2009 at 10:19 am
@Boss: lol, Thomas isn’t one of the authors, but he does give a tremendous effort on this project though. Jonathan and I are from Asia too =). We will try to include some more hooks in the near future, so stay tuned. I am really glad that you like the plugin!
@Thomas and everybody else: I GOT TRANSLATION TO WORK! Next release will include Chinese translation and possibly more translations. If any of you is interested in translating CubePoints, please contact me so that I can include your translation in the next release!
@Thomas only: Somehow your German (?) translation didn’t work when mine did. I will send you a copy of the editted .pot soon and can you try translating it again? Thanks
@Neo: You might want to ask Esha (http://techcube.net/cubepoints/#comment-1654) about how (s)he did it. CubePoints (honestly) wasn’t designed to work in WordPress MU.
January 30th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
I feel a bit honored to be accounted to the dev-team of the Cubepoints Plugin :) However, as Peter pointed out – I´m just a “user”, all credits go to Peter and Jonathan!! Just trying to get it to work on a more or less “communityfied Wordpress-Blog” – with quite some modifications..
However – Sure, Peter! Send it over to my Gmail-account please and I´ll test it asap. Still – makes me wonder why mine didn´t work. I did translation through Linux-Desktoptools as well as via the “CodeStyling Localization Plugin” for Wordpress. None of those worked.
February 1st, 2009 at 7:15 pm
@Jonathan Lau: Hello, i post about it here http://www.featuredcontentgallery.com/forum/cube-points-plugin-conflict-81.html, there is also screenshot with my problem.
February 2nd, 2009 at 3:47 am
The previous 1.0 version was working on my wordpress mu. but this latest one is not working can you make this to work?
February 2nd, 2009 at 5:20 am
esha, can you be kind and send me the 1.0 files please? I would love to see the latest version working on WP MU! :)
February 2nd, 2009 at 9:25 am
@esha: Is there any sort of error messages that you see, or it just plainly “doesn’t work”?
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:05 am
There was an error.I don’t remember that as I deleted the new version soon after getting the error.
@ Neo, hope this’ll help you,

February 3rd, 2009 at 8:46 am
I love this plugin but I have only one problem…
can this script rebuild all user points automatically…? (Cubepoints > Manage > All users “0″ points :( ) thx again…
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I second Levent’s comment.
It would be nice to have a reset all points to “0″ in the admin section so maybe… I can have a comment war event for a week or whathaveyou and give a prize to the top commenter.
LOL
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Hi guys, great plugin,
I second the idea of referral points.
Also would it be difficult to implement a different amount of points for different categories?
I’d like to give more points for posts where I ask the readers their opinion, then on daily blog posts describing how many coffee’s i drank that day.
I might be able to do a dutch translation, but I’m crazingly busy, so it may take a while. Also I have never done a translation before, so I don’t exactly know how it works.
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:00 pm
I do NOT second Levents’ idea. Reason: For some sites the achieved scoring may be used to actually “buy” something or gain access to special content on the site. So deleting all score wouldn’t help..
My suggestion to achieve something comparable while preserving achieved scores:
* Make it possible to show top-scorers for a freely defineable period of time, like past week/month or from date x to date y.
The other way around would be even more interesting:
As you can see in the Top-Users widget, all articles and comments get counted correctly. BUT scores will only be accounted since the plugin was active. I think it would be helpful for quite some WP-admins to subsequently add points for these FORMER posts and comments, wouldn’t it?!
Besides, thanks to Peter I got translations finally working now!! (Check my site if you do not believe it!) I hope you don’t mind, if I post a quick solution and instructions to get your own translation up and running here, Peter?!
1.) Replace line 16 in your current cubepoints.php with this line:
load_plugin_textdomain('cp', PLUGINDIR.'/'.dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)));2.) Do a translation with POEdit or gtranslator (The latter only available through Linux repositories, I think).
3.) If you prefer an On-Site Toolkit, please check the excellent Wordpress Plugin named “Codestyling Localization” which lets you translate all neccessary strings through Wordpress directly.
It’s also possible to create the needed .mo-Files through it.
4.) Create .mo-File and transfer it to Cubepoints main folder.
5.) If you do that manually, naming convention should follow your Wordpress language settings: cp-languagecode_LANGCODE.mo, so that would be cp-de_DE.mo for german language.
Really, translation can be done in like 15 minutes and is worth it! Please be so nice and make translations available to Peter or Jonathan to be included within the next release!!
Problem at the very moment is, that if you would auto-update Cubepoints through WP (which has no translations included yet), your translations will be GONE! So make sure to save it to a secure place or your translation would have to be re-done after every update! Would be great if those translations could be included in every release or manually be downloaded from somewhere..
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:37 pm
German translation files and german instructions available here >> http://www.symbian60.mobi/2009/02/03/wordpress-plugin-cubepoints-in-deutscher-sprache/
I will update it with every release in the future, if neccessary!
February 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Sounds good plugin
Will it be available for Wordpress Mu ?
I am planning to use it , can somebody suggest please. .
February 4th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
@esha & neo & san:
The plugin is currently not tested in WordPress MU but we will try to make the later versions compatable. Version 1.0 is known to be working with WordPress MU though.
By the way, the archives of CubePoints can be found here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/download/
@Levent & James:
We will try to include that function (reset all users’ points to 0) in the next release (:
@Janoda:
Hello, someone has previously suggested the idea of different points for different categories. As this is a little more complicated, we might not include it in the next release. We’ll try if we can include this in the following release. As for translations, we would really appreciate if you could help us with it. We could provide you with step-by-step info on how to get it translated. Do let us know if you are willing to help (:
@Thomas A:
Thanks so much for helping us with the German translations. We will pack the translations with CubePoints from the next release on.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
I think I have some time this weekend, so I volunteer to do a Dutch translation, if the step-by-step manual is included :p
February 7th, 2009 at 3:07 am
Hello Janoda,
Thanks for offering to help us with a Dutch translations.
I have written a short tutorial on how to translate these files.
http://techcube.net/2009/02/translating-using-poedit/
The .POT file of this plugin is located in the plugin directory.
Let us know if you need any more help (:
Thanks you!
February 8th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Version 1.2.4 of CubePoints have been released!
New features and language support added!
February 8th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Thanks for this new release. Perfect job!!!
February 8th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Hi, I Uğur. Of Turkey. Developed a great plugin. Thank you. Can you send the language files
February 8th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Hello Uğur,
Are you interested in translating CubePoints plugin to Turkish?
The language file can be found in the “lang” folder of the CubePoints plugin. I can send it to your email too if you need.
Thanks in advanced.
February 8th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
sorry. I did not find language files in the old version. I have now in the new version:)
February 8th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Its under /cubepoints/lang/cubepoints.POT
You can follow the tutorial here to translate it to Turkish:
http://techcube.net/2009/02/translating-using-poedit/
February 8th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Yupp. The language file is only available in the new version.
Looking forward to a Turkish version of CubePoints.
Thanks for helping!
February 9th, 2009 at 1:33 am
Hello. Turkish language file was created. I sent to your email address. I want to thank you again for this great plugin. Bye:)
February 9th, 2009 at 5:28 am
Crossposted from the translation thread, for the fasted reply :p
Hi!
I translated it, and then I got an error on two entries:
%d comments made
%d post published.
Unfortunately the file saved corrupt because of this and now I have to start over (grumble)
Anyway, both of them still don’t want to translate, any idea on how to solve this?
The error said a msgstr[] was missing
February 9th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
That one is a little bit tricky. Open the .po with your text editor, look for that line (starting from line 40), and add the translated strings yourself.
#: actions.php:43
#, php-format
msgid "%d comment made"
msgid_plural "%d comments made"
msgstr[0] “”
msgstr[1] “”
msgstr[0] means when %d is singular (1), and msgstr[1] means when %d is plural (0, or >1)
After you are done, load it in Poedit, and let it automatically compile the .mo for you. Don’t mind about it when it says “2 fatal errors”
February 11th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Just to make sure, as I didn’t receive a reply yet – Did you receive my email, Peter?
February 11th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Nop, we haven’t got any recent mail from you if you sent to admin@techcube.net. Try resending your email? Thanks (:
February 12th, 2009 at 1:57 am
Ok, you got mail then ;)
February 12th, 2009 at 8:36 am
@Jonathan Lau
Is there any work or testing being done on Wordpress MU? This would come in “handier” on that platform in my opinion. :)
February 16th, 2009 at 4:21 am
Where exactly in my theme should I paste this code?
Sorry for the noob question
February 16th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
CubePoints won’t count all comments! What to do?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
@Tsu: There are no noob questions here =). Where do you want the code to take effect?
@CPnieuws: Could you provide us with more details? What version of WP/CubePoints are you using? PHP? What are the settings, etc.?
February 19th, 2009 at 3:17 am
Well, I would like it to take effect under users’ posts, for example.
February 19th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Hmm, let me make sure what code it is you want to put. Did you want to show “my points” in every post?
February 19th, 2009 at 9:38 am
Hello im getting a similar error to this error accepts my error is online 570

Thanks in advance.
February 20th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
For example, I want there to be a rating under each user’s post available so others can rate the post and there to be a cumulative rating (if there is such an option) under the users author name.
February 20th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Very good Plugin…
can we have an a functionality like…
user required (some $ points) to View/Download Post/files.
waiting for reply.
February 20th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
@Tsu: You will need to edit comments.php and/or functions.php (if WP2.7 and custom layout for comments is used) to do that. Put the following code in:
< ?php cp_displayPoints($comment->user_id); ?>@Varun: What plugin do you use to manage your files? We don’t plan to actually implement a “file managing” function in CubePoints, but we can think about integrating with other plugins.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:23 pm
hello seem like you skipped over my issue
im getting a fatal error when ever i activate the plugin
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /nfs/c04/h01/mnt/59584/domains/vuzeum.com/html/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 570
i would greatly apreciate the help
Thanks
February 21st, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Hello MJ,
May I know what version of CubePoints you are using?
Thanks.
February 21st, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Hello JL
Thank for response. I’m using version 1.2.4
February 21st, 2009 at 8:35 pm
@MJ:
Sorry, I really thought I replied to your comment already. What PHP Version are you running? WP Version? Any other plugins?
Thanks for submitting a bug, and once again, sorry for ignoring your comment :(.
February 21st, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Its all good..
im on media temple not sure which php version im running.
wordpress 2.7
im running a bunch of plugins.
sociables
adsense manager
avatar
duplicate post
limit post
linkshare
just to name a few.
which plugins does cubepoints usually have conflict with
February 21st, 2009 at 9:08 pm
There isn’t a lot of known conflicts found, and those you named are not part of the conflicts.
Mind giving us some time when we figure out the problem? Thanks =)
February 23rd, 2009 at 12:09 am
Is it possible to minus points for adding new posts (not for comments)? I need this function on one my blog very much.
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:10 am
Hello,
Well, you could put a negative number for the creation of posts.
This way, points will be subtracted for creating posts.
Hope it works well for you. Do give feedback on how it went!
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:20 am
Well, seems it works fine. Thanks :)
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:22 am
Glad that it works for you. Just for my curiousity, why do you subtract points for users creating posts?
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:32 am
My site is something like Yahoo Answers, as you probably know it uses the same system (minus for questions, plus for answers :))
And one more question:
What if I have less points than the negative number for new posts is?
February 23rd, 2009 at 8:31 am
Oh for this, it would be capped at 0. Means users would still be able to make posts but their points will remain at 0. However, slight modification to the code would allow you to disable posting for users with insufficient points.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Cube Points is working now.Keep up the good work.
When do you think store feature would be added.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:24 am
also is it possible for us to hire your team for further customization
February 26th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Peter and I are actually quite busy recently.
As such, we might take a while more before we integrate a store into CubePoints.
But to answer your question, yes we can help you with further customization.
Do drop us an email to admin@techcube.net if you are interested.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Wont let user’s donate what should i do ?
February 26th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Really a great plugin….
i would like to request an option..
i need to Restrict post counts in few categories alone.
provide a Selection in settings page to choose the categories for Post counts.
it would be great… :)
let me know your views about it…
February 27th, 2009 at 1:11 am
Hey guys,
same “cannot activate plugin”-problem here! I deactivated all plugins to see if its conflicting with sum other plugins but nothing.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homepages/14/d166908482/htdocs/mitstil/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 569
What is it?
February 27th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Hi – i love that Plugin
but miss one small funktion.
I want to give my users for every visiting a point to create traffic.
It`s ? possible ?
February 27th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
MJ & Julius Koroll:
To fix the T_OBJECT_OPERATOR problem, change line 569
from:
$uid=get_userdata($result->uid)->user_login;
to:
$tmp=$result->uid;
$tmp=get_userdata($tmp);
$uid=$tmp->user_login;
This is because the PHP version you are using is an older version. CubePoints is being coded and tested in PHP5, so sorry for the error there.
conso & SAP Artilcles:
Thanks for both of your suggestions. These two ideas are already in our TODO list, but it might not be ready till awhile later. (:
February 27th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Hi
i have not yet used any file manager… but looking for it… with the functionality i mentioned…
i actually updated to latest cube points and few functionality stopped working…
- Transfer points does not work ( a popup window appears and nothin inside it )
- when i mouse over a User.. a tooltip shows show many post and commeent. before… but now nothin appears… only a progress bar appears…
:(
February 27th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Hello Varun,
Sorry to hear that all that you mentioned is not working well for you. I’ve just tested the latest release and its working on my machine (PHP 5.2.5/Apache). It would be good if you could tell me the PHP version you are using, and if you have, a link to the website with the problem. Once you chosen a file manager, you can let me know and I’ll post up some instructions on how to integrate it with CubePoints.
February 27th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Hello Varun,
I assume the website you are referring to is http://www.sapspot.com.
I’ve visited your website and saw the problem.
It appears that not all files are properly uploaded to your website.
One particular file you should look out for is actions.php.
This file handles all ajax requests so without it, all the problems you describe will occur.
Let me know if your problem is solved (:
February 27th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
I just now REPLACED all the Files and checked…
still same problem… :(
it actually worked well in your previous version…
i updated and not workin… and after that i installed “post notification” plugin… i think it might coz problem… not sure..
March 3rd, 2009 at 4:50 am
Great Plugin.. No rush or anything but when do you think you’ll have the users purchasing points via paypal and the shopping cart ready?
I would really like to use this on a new project I am working on :)
Thanks and keep up the good work!
March 3rd, 2009 at 5:06 pm
We haven’t started on the shopping cart and paypal part.
But we should include it in the next release.
Not sure when it will be, but shouldn’t be much long later.
March 3rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
How can I make points visible to unregistered users as well. I’m using this code
in comments.php next to the comment author name and I noticed that points are visible only when I’m logged in. Is it possible to change it?March 3rd, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Has there been any updates on Wordpress MU compatibility?
March 3rd, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Not at the moment, unfortunately.
March 4th, 2009 at 6:34 am
Are there any plans on making it WPMU-compatible? I’ve love to use this with BuddyPress too…
March 4th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Hi!
Can you help me use CubePoints and PostRating plugins together? I mean, when user add + or – to post, the author of post receive cebepoints.
March 5th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
@Neo: As docs on WPMU are extremely limited, it is pretty hard to debug what the problem is. We will be trying our best to do so. We see that there are a lot of requests on it, so we will work extra hard on that one =)
@brainsolid: More hooks are to be come out in the next release… (Which shouldn’t be far away) We could definitely integrate with Post Rating plugins!
March 6th, 2009 at 12:21 am
@Peter
I think CubePoints would best work side-by-side with BuddyPress to create an amazing combination.
March 6th, 2009 at 9:49 am
@Peter and brainsolid
that would be definately awesome! i’m building some multiuser resourse with both postratings and comments vote (same +/- for comments), and seek for a way to integrate cubepoints with them, that would be totally kickass
March 6th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
does not change the language.
v 1.2.4 can not include the Chinese and German. how and where it can be done?
March 6th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
@Capic: Are you sure that your WP_LANG is set correctly in wp-config.php?
March 6th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
not sure, but there were not any problems.
wp 2.7.1 tell me how to be correct.
To translate the plug-in Russian, if you need only send a check it.
March 6th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Is your WP in Russian (or whatever language you wanted it to be in?)
March 6th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
My wp in Russian.
in wp-config: define ( ‘WPLANG’, ‘ru_RU’);
March 6th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Yeah, it will only show ru_RU translations. Currently, we only have de_DE and zh_CN. However, if you want to help us translate, sure thing!
March 6th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
I have made a transfer.
has corresponded with you already understand the settings.
Now check your translation, and if everything goes well I can send you (if you want)
March 6th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Sorry for my poor English.
I made a translation into Russian, you send it?
If you need a Russian translation, give me your e-mail.
Thanks for help
March 7th, 2009 at 12:15 am
Hello Capic,
Thanks for translating CubePoints into Russian.
We would appreciate if you could email it to admin[at]techcube.net
March 10th, 2009 at 3:21 am
Good start with this project! I’m very interested and looking forward to using your plugin one day.
Some suggestions:
-set by admin the minimum number of characters (excluding links, quotes, etc.) to earn comment points. ie: if people simply type in yes or no or ok, they won’t earn points.
-require points to access locally stored files. ie: create a post, upload/insert pdf, doc, etc. file – no points, no access. Increase community contribution.
-daily points for logging onto the site. Incentive to check out the site often.
-use points in a raffle system. ie: member can buy 1 raffle ticket for x points. if raffle ticket is chosen, earn prize. Another way to increase contribution.
-retroactively calculate points so that if a site has been running for years and they discover your plugin today, the points can be given from a certain date or from start date.
March 11th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Just curious… why don’t you use cubepoints on this site? Lots of comments on this post… would be interesting to see in action.
March 11th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
lol good point… haha
March 13th, 2009 at 12:56 am
Hi there , nice plug in …keep your good work, do u do any other programming work ? i dont mind paying for it
regards
Mike
March 13th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
@jason & neo:
We didn’t use cubepoints on this site because not many people actually registered and sign in to comment.
@mike:
Yes, we do other programming work, provided we have time. We are students who have a lot of other commitments too (:
What do you have in mind?
March 14th, 2009 at 1:28 am
How can I set starting number of points for new users? For example I would like to give 100 points to every registered user automatically. Is it possible?
Thanks
March 14th, 2009 at 1:58 am
@Jonathan Lau
I just registered! ;) I have a question, what plugin is that on the very top right of your website. You know, the one with the welcome message, login, and search option. Thanks in advace!
March 14th, 2009 at 2:04 am
@Neo: Thanks! The one you are refering to is not a plugin. Its some javascript which I coded into my theme. If you like, I could write a tutorial teaching you how to do something similar (:
March 14th, 2009 at 2:13 am
@Jonathan Lau
Thanks for the quick reply! A tutorial would not only benefit me but the rest of your users as well! Also, I think the”Quote Comments” plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quote-comments/) might be of used here. :P
March 16th, 2009 at 12:09 am
I’ve been playing with cubepoints and i’ve had some succes keeping the points with WordPress MU and BuddyPress. Currently I’ve got it working at my main portal http://artistblog.me
I’ve changed it from multi-user to single user because I wanted the cubepoints to be sitewide; this to encourage people to review stuff and get points for it.
My changes which forces cubepoints to use one general table (it is also giving problems with the post id’s so that might need to be changed to give that current post permid instead of id)
// define(’CPDB’, $wpdb->prefix . ‘cubepoints’);
define(’CPDB’, ‘cubepoints’);
The idea behind it would be that after 50 cubepoints (which are 10 good reviews) a user would be able to register a blog at the portal.
Although, I’ve got BIG problems with Ajax ; I cannot copy the problem again but I saw there were errors with the AJAX script powering the “donate” which is now currently active on the http://development.artistblog.me website as test ; although it seems to be giving a lot of problems / conflicts with it’s pulldown interface.
I’ve seen once problems with the “pulldown menu” related to qtranslate and pageflip ; which I’ve disabled and tested again to donate. Again no success and I am unable to see which errors there are at that moment. Give me Perl or PHP, but Ajax is over my league …
Is there any possibility to get an ajax-free interface ? or atleast a clean-up version ? because it could be used on Wordpress MU fairly easy if those ajax problems get ironed out …
March 16th, 2009 at 12:23 am
I’ve just noticed the cubepoints applet is not visible when not logged in – I could create a test environment on beta.artistblog.me with a post and new user where you could see the error yourself ;
mail me to the address which i’ve used posting these two messages for more info.. thank you ;)
March 17th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
@Freaking Wildchild: Would you mind sending some screenshots of your drop down menu problems? Also, if you don’t mind, we would love to have a look at your modified cubepoints.php as well =) You can send them to admin [/at*] techcube [*dot./] net. Thanks!
March 18th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Will there be further development by adding some of what has been suggested by other users? Just curious to find out what you will be working on next. Keep up the good work!
March 18th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Definitely! We realized that the development might be slow due to our busy personal schedule, but we promise that these suggestions will eventually carry out.
Thanks for supporting!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:07 am
Hello,
really great plugin! I love it! But I am still missing something :P
Wanted features:
-reset points periodically (every month,year ect.)
-starting points (e.x. every user will recieve 100 points at first sing in)
-easy interface for giving the points to other user when I like his posts. I mean, something like a button in the end of the post, when it is hit the author of the post will recieve e.x. 1 point from me or other users…(sorry for my english)
I am really looking forward to see that “TODO” items implemented ;)
Good luck!
March 20th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Hey guys,
1. Incredible plugin. Sincerely, a great idea that I can’t wait to get up and running.
2. I’m having some problems with the widgets. I’m not sure if it’s a PHP4 issue or not but I was a “uniqid() expects at least 1 parameter” error so I changed line 656 from “$uniqid=uniqid();” to “$unique_id = uniqid(rand(), true);” It got rid of the error but I’m not sure if it fixed the problem or made it worse. I’m getting no information in the mouseover popups or in the popup donate box. Any ideas?
Thanks! I’m super impress with you guys.
Brett.

Hello Brett,
Yes, the error looks like a PHP4 issue.
According to the PHP manual, the prefix parameter in uniqid was made optional since version 5.0.0. Adding in that parameter should work.
However did you accidentally chnaged the variable name $uniqid to $unique_id? If so, this might be the cause of the problem.
If you have a PHP4 server that I could use to debug script, I would gladly do so and eliminate all the bugs! I could install PHP4 on my local server, but that would be too troublesome (:
Thanks for your feedback.

My site opens slower after installing CubePoints. I think it’s becouse of so many javascript files…
Are all these js files necessary? Does it have any influence on site load speed?
Thanks
March 21st, 2009 at 1:02 am
Hi Levani,
Thanks for your feedback on this issue.
I just did a quick test and it showed that Wordpress took less than 200 ms longer to load with the CubePoints plugin.
In total, CubePoints is only 114 KB, so it should not be influencing your site’s load speed.
Could it be due to other plugins or some other issues?
If there’s anything that is unnecessary or could be removed, feel free to suggest and I’ll see if it would optimise the loading speed!
March 21st, 2009 at 1:53 am
Thanks for quick response.
I’m afraid I’m not so familiar with programming to suggest you what is necessary and what not… :)
Is it possible to move these js files somewhere lower? For example before /body tag?
March 21st, 2009 at 1:55 am
I don’t think that would help much.
The JS files are below 65KB, which is far smaller than a tiny image.
It shouldn’t have any noticable effect on the load of your site.
If you could give me the URL of your site, I could help you have a quick look.
March 21st, 2009 at 2:17 am
This is my site: answers.ge
March 21st, 2009 at 2:41 am
Hi Levani,
I’ve done a profile of your site and these are the results:
http://orbitupload.com/get/answers-ge03.png
Its a brief timeline of the load time of your page. The files from cubepoints are marked with a red arrow. As you can see, the files which is loaded by CubePoints doesn’t take up much time. I see you have hotlinked jQuery from their server. This script is the one that is slowing down your page by a lot. Since CubePoints comes with jQuery, you should safely be able to remove that file.
I hope that would solve your problem of slow loading time for your site.
March 21st, 2009 at 3:03 am
You are about jquery-latest.min.js, is that right?
March 21st, 2009 at 3:04 am
Yes. Thats right.
Try removing that and see if your site loads faster.
I doubt CubePoints is the one slowing it down (:
March 21st, 2009 at 4:11 am
Strange… There is no file in source code with this name. Not in header.php as well. Have you any idea where can I find it?
March 22nd, 2009 at 4:20 am
Now I’m quite sure that cubepoints make wordpress work slower. I tryed to move all cubepoints js and css files at the bottom and my site became much faster.
Please think of it in new version, to remove some unnecessary files or compress somehow. I have some experience of using wordpress plugins and I’ve never seen any, using 7 js files. :)
Thanks
March 27th, 2009 at 2:44 am
I’m asking once again about the starting points… How can I give several points to every registered user automatically. Anyone can help?
Thanks
April 7th, 2009 at 2:43 am
Hi there – thanks for the great plugin! A few quick questions:
1. Is it possible to not-require logging in to gain points (based on unique email address/cookie) We would prefer to not force people to login to contribute, and we’re also using Facebook Connect.
2. How does the “do not include these users” in the widget/configure work? Is it looking for a name, an ID number? When I put in a name “John Smith”, and enter, it changes it to “JohnSmith” and the user still shows in the widget.
April 7th, 2009 at 11:57 am
The plugin is great, but unfortunately we cannot get the donation feature to work. When a user clicks on donate it brings them to a new window. When they type in the name of the user, the amount to donate and click donate…nothing happens. We have enabled user-user donations in the settings. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Corey
April 7th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Hello Corey,
This should be because thickbox.js is not loaded.
This could be due to certain reasons:
1) Thickbox works on jQuery, and your site / another plugin on your site might be running prototypeJS. These two scripts conflict with each other.
2) You’re clicking on the link before the page completely loads.
If you could give me your URL and a test account, I could help you have a look.
Hello snipe:
For your first point, I guess its only possible with a bit of tweaking. Currently, points are stored in a separate table with usernames as one column and points as another. You could alter the script such that it stores email instead. Also, using cookies would make the point system easily “hackable”.
For your second point, its looking for the username of the user. (i.e. the one you type to login, not the real name)
Hope this answers your questions (:
April 8th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Hey Jonathan,
I sent the login/pass through the contact page on your site. I really appreciate you looking into this for us. We are very excited about your plugin especially with the new planned features (store and paypal).
In the future versions is there a way to fix the conflict with prototypeJS?
Thanks,
Corey
April 8th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Hi
really cool plugin.
How about paying the users via paypal for their Earned Points.
any comments ?
April 9th, 2009 at 1:01 am
Also I have noticed when the plugin is loaded it breaks the WP Ajax Edit Comments plugin. Any idea why this would happen?
Thanks,
Corey
April 15th, 2009 at 7:59 am
I can back up Corey’s comment on the donation doing nothing.
I get the popup window, type in the ID and points to donate, then when I press the Donate button it seems to subtract that amount of points in the popup window but when I refresh the site nothing has been reflected. My points neither have gotten subtracted nor has the person’s point increased.
I only have shadowbox plugin implemented. Also, if this is a JQuery issue, maybe the conflict should be looked into.
Just chipping in my 2 cents.
April 15th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Another issue I found is with the sidebar widget. “Hide the following users” will not hide a user if there are spaces in the user name. For example, I have a personal account called Lens of Truth. Every time I enter in the name as Lens of Truth it corrects it to LensofTruth.
Thanks,
Corey
April 15th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Thank you all for your bug reports. I know we say it a lot of times, but this time we are not slacking off. We will be working on them shortly.
@Corey: Try typing into the User ID of the user you want to blacklist.
April 16th, 2009 at 6:15 am
Hey Peter,
No, that still didn’t work. I tried 9, ID9, ID 9 and it still show up. Also, I noticed that you can click on the users name in the sidebar and it will display the number of comments made and posts published. It looks like its getting the count wrong, possibly counting all comments/posts that the user has made on the site, not since the plugin was activated. Also, can you make it so you can turn this feature off in the admin panel?
I know you guys have been busy, but I am still having issues with the donations. I set up an account for Johnathan last week to take a look. Any word?
Also another feature request that I think would be helpful is a comment field for when you make adjustments to points in the admin panel. This would help in the logs greatly. (Ex: Added 10 points for watching our live gaming show.)
Thanks,
Corey
April 16th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Another bug (maybe only me). When I try to personally update or change the number of point in the admin panel… it logs me off. What I mean is, I go to the cubepoints admin panel, look up a user, put in the point I want to reflect to the user and then when I press the GO button to the right it suddenly takes me to the wp-login page. I’m on php4 and ie6.
April 17th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Hi Peter,
First i want to say: “This plugin is great!”. I have some fiew ideas. Maybe it is fun to let people watch pages if they have 500,1000 (or whatever you set up.
And maybe you can give people “Ranknames” like, wealthy, milionair, rich bastard..
Keep up the good work.
I am watching for the shop update every day! hope it comes soon.
April 19th, 2009 at 1:30 am

2) A live demo site with admin access has been set up so you can test the functionalities of the latest stable release each time the plugin has been updated. This site will be reloaded every hour.
The site can be accessed here:
http://cubepoints.techcube.net
Thanks for all your support, we’re trying our best to work on all other feature requests / bug reports. If anyone is interested in joining the dev team, do contact us using our contact form.
April 20th, 2009 at 5:16 am
Hi..
I’m trying to install the Cubepoints plugin on a Wordpress MU installation, with Buddypress installed also..
But when trying to install Cubepoints, it gives me this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/brian/webdirs/danskwebshopaward/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 569
I tried installing the plugin on another domain on the same server, and that worked fine…
What could be the problem, is it Buddypress, or Wordpress MU that gives troubles ?!
Best wishes
Brian Brandt
April 20th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Hello Brian,
For as far as I know, that problem seems to be a PHP4 problem. Are you using PHP4?
Keep in mind that CubePoints was not designed to be used with WordPress MU, not to mention BuddyPress. Some of the users have already reported incompatibility. We are trying to fix this problem, but since the docs on WPMU plugins are extremely limited, we couldn’t really do much.
Check back regularly for updates, though!
April 20th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Just wanted to ask again, has anyone noticed when the plugin is loaded it breaks the WP Ajax Edit Comments plugin. Any idea why this would happen? I use this plugin all the time now I missed it with cubepoints activated. :(
Thanks,
Corey
April 21st, 2009 at 1:18 am
:) When you plan to include the point-shop in Cube Points? It would be perfect!
May 4th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
i am waiting for that point shop feature too..that will be awesome..and also support for paypal and alertpay..
May 4th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
hi..i just started playing with this plugin..i have an question..is it possible to enable point system for any commenter not only for reg user..cz sometimes people dont want to register and some sites like mine i dont allow anyone to reg the site..so it will be realy helpful if u added this feature or tell me how to do that..i read the post here about this matter but not very clear as i am not very expert about database language..
May 9th, 2009 at 8:58 am
@ebeggingonlinedotcom,
I am sure this question has been answered before in the comments. At the moment, CubePoints only has effect on registered users, because tracking for non-registered visitors can be hard.
However, stay tuned and come back regularly to check on any updates!
May 17th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Hi, I’ve been using CP for about a month now and had recently needed to remove the CP Widget from the sidebar.
Is there another way of displaying the Top CubePoints Users on the side bar?
I already tried [cubepoints toplist 25] but that doesn’t work.
May 17th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Hi Li,
[cubepoints toplist 25] only works for displaying stats within a page or post, not in the sidebar.
There’s two ways you can customise the sidebar widget.
#1: Edit the cubepoints_pointsWidget() function (*recommended)
#2: Use the current available functions to generate your own static widget
You can read more about advanced config from the latest docs here:
http://techcube.net/cubepoints/docs/1.2.4/#advanced_configuration
May 17th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Thanks for the response, however, I should have made my question a bit clearer. I was asking if there is another way to display the Top CP Users on the sidebar without using the Widget aspect of the plugin?
An alternative way of asking this question is: can I display the Top CP Users on the sidebar if it’s not a Widget-ready sidebar?
May 18th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
What are the files indicator.gif and macFFBgHack.png?I downloaded this plugin,but it slows down my wp, because of missing this non-existing pictures.Maybe you have made a mistake in code
May 18th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
I’ve no idea what these two files are.
As far as I know, I haven’t come across these two file names before.
It might be some files associated with jQuery thickbox, a JS extension used by CP. Anyway, I’ll look into this to find out more since one or two others have also commented that this plugin slows down wp. Could you tell me where you got the names of these two files?
May 19th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Sure, this names are red highlighted on http://tools.pingdom.com/ when you try own URL. Like this one http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=http://cubepoints.techcube.net/&treeview=0&column=objectID&order=1&type=0&save=false
May 20th, 2009 at 12:18 am
Hello Zohan159,
I’ve checked out the missing files and macFFBgHack.png appears to be coming from thickbox. I downloaded and used thickbox from http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ and that file wasn’t up for download.
However, I found the original file which you can download from here:
http://trac.wpwp.org/export/54/trunk/thickbox/macFFBgHack.png
Just place them in the /cubepoints directory.
As for indicator.gif, its coming from jQuery Autocomplete.
Again, its a case where the image is referenced in the css but not available for download.
What you can do now is comment out this line in autocomplete.css:
“background: white url(’indicator.gif’) right center no-repeat;”
You can read more about it here:
http://www.nabble.com/indicator.gif-does-not-exist-td20131998s27240.html
May 20th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Thanks for advice,Jonathan.Are you working on some new plugin for wp or new version of cubepoints?
May 20th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Nop, not at the moment.
We know we haven’t been doing much updates to the plugin, but thats because Peter and I are really busy (we’re 15 and 17 yr old sch students). We usually have much more time towards the end of the year. :(
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Can I help you with beta testing?Are you looking for some serious partner?
May 30th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I can also help with beta testing…
Looking forward to see the stable release of the plugin. As I asked above the simple statistic page would be great!
June 6th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
How can I display top users list without widget?
June 6th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Please take a look at the Documentation, under “List Top Users” http://techcube.net/cubepoints/docs/1.2.4/
June 6th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
There are only shorttags but I would like to display it in sidebar, not in post or page. What would be the PHP code look like?
June 6th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Ah, I get what you mean now, it should look something like this (line 683 to 698 of cubepoints.php):
cp_topPointsDisplay($count = 10, $return = 0);
If $return = 1, it will return value instead of echo it out.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Thanks, this code work fine. Still have some more questions:
How can I exclude users from the list?
How can I show the number of posts and comments made by the user in a popup, without leaving the page?
June 6th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Try the “blacklist” settings in the Options page… or does it not work?
I believe we haven’t implemented that feature yet… We will though in the.. (cough) near future. ( http://techcube.net/2009/06/updates-on-techcube/ )
June 6th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Thank for the quick response. Hope this will be available in next release. And one feature request about the top users list. I think it would be great to add the ability of sorting users by date range. For example show top users only in this week/month and so on, with a simple tab navigation to choose the date range.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
Ah, that’s a nice idea. Sure, we will keep that in mind. Thanks for your continued support!
June 7th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Doesn’t work with custom user tables. Tried editing the code to use my custom tables when requesting access to “users” or “usermeta”, but still doesn’t want to work.
Custom user tables as defined in WordPress documentation.
Also be nice to see a custom php function to award points to users for custom tasks? Didn’t see any documentation for such a function call.
June 13th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
I have an idea. Can you do something like private CubePoints-text (for every user different private CubePoints text)? For example: it should contain simple text with my opinion about their comments.
June 14th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Hi,
Love the plugin, good work.
I have been using it for a while (v1.2.4) on wp2.7.1 without issue but I have now gone to v2.8. If you upgrade wp the plugin continues to work without problem but I get the following issue when activating on a new install of 2.8: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in wp-content\plugins\cubepoints\cubepoints.php on line 569.The only other thing to change on the clean install is the db table prefix from wp_.
Are you able to help.
Thanks in advance.
June 23rd, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Dear developers!
If this not so hard to do, maybe you can help integrate postratings and comments vote plugins with your CubePoints?
June 26th, 2009 at 8:08 am
Hi.
Is it possible to let the points of each member increase with a set amount of points every month? That would be a nice feature :)
June 29th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Great plugin thanks heaps. xD
July 2nd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Hey,
I also like this plugin but I always get this error message in the sidebar when using the widget to show the top users:
“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /…/…/…/html/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 654″
What can I do?
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Hey,
sry for posting again but is there a chance to run cube points and buddypress at the same time. Because cube points causes problems with buddypress when trying to upload an avatar – they always turn black.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings
July 14th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Hi, I have been using cube points from months. Now I have some suggestions,
1. Rank (Based on preconfigured score points user will meet certain rank like from Rank 0 to 10)
e.g.
500 Score = Rank 1
1000 Score = Rank 2
……..
upto
20,000 Score = Rank 10
2. Profile
Every user’s Score and Rank will be displayed on his/her profile, if possible listing its linkable posts and comments.
July 14th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Love this concept. Have been looking for this for quite sometime!!! Unfortunately my theme uses the jCarousel plugin for sliding featured posts and it breaks down if I activate the plugin. Any suggestions?
Also can there be a one click solution to deduct points or add points to a group. Like I would like to deduct x points from all “Authors” at the end of the month or give 10 points to all “Editors” – that is one feature I would love to see.
July 14th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Coming soon to a shop?
So where is the points by icons or so can swap? Stop where you can insert yourself things ^^
July 15th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Activating this plugin would break our sliding carousel running on jQuery. So we asked our carousel developer for a solution. He did his vodoo magic and got our carousel to work with most plugins it had a conflict with except… Yep… your plugin… which we most wanted to use. Now here’s the note from our carousel developer. It seems there may be some changes needed at your end of the code. Can you take a look and see if you can release a new version. Here’s our developer’s note:
The plugin makes a call to the jQuery library even if it already has been called. It doesn’t use the correct Wordpress javascript call function.
July 15th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
@zapata Ah, thanks for telling us that! We are on our way toward the next release (I swear!) and I will definitely fix that.
This release will mainly be a bugfix release with a few new features.
July 16th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Peter, I found an interim solution, I removed the jsquery.js file and jtips.js so we could get the carousel working and it seems without the two files your plugin too seems to be working fine.
The only major issue I see is our site is now slowing down by say 4 to 7 seconds. Not sure what this could be and how you could tighten this up.
Trying to integrate CubePoints with Thumbs up/Thumbs down rating of posts where each thumbs up would earn the author a bonus point and every thumbs down would give the post author a negative point. not sure how to go about this one. still struggling.
July 16th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
another issue we just found is that an author ends up getting points even if they edit and update their published posts. you might want to take a look into this too.
July 16th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Hey,
why cant I display the highscore?
I always get this error message:
“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /…/…/…/html/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 654″
Please HELP me!!!
July 17th, 2009 at 8:02 am
@zapata: I am guessing the extra seconds is used to search for the missing jQuery file. I will try to pull up the fix as soon as possible.
Do you have Logs feature on? We check if the author has earned points for a post or not by using the Logs.
To integrate, you’ll have to look into the codes of the rating plugin, find where it does all the database transaction or postmeta changes and add this line in there:
@die_maske: Do you have any users/points currently already? It seems that there is no information in your database.
July 17th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Peter, what file could I go in and comment out the search for the jQuery file. this could provide as a band-aid immediate relief.
what’s the logs feature? sorry I’m an amateur in programming world.
Gotcha.
Do let me know if you guys need any more feedback. Please feel free to email me and I’ll be glad to give you any info that can help you fine tune the plugin!
July 17th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Hey Peter,
thanks for your fast answer.
Yes, I have users and the’ve already earned points.
What do I have to change?
Greetings :-)
July 18th, 2009 at 2:53 am
Tony, your suggestion was spot on. I commented out the call to jquery.js in the cubepoints.php file. And the speed is back up to almost normal! thanks!
July 18th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Peter, what line to add in other plugins to (a) add points (b) subtract points
July 18th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
@zapata: Sorry for such a late response. Use the following code:
< ?php cp_alterPoints( int $uid, int $points ); ?>
$points can be positive or negative. Positive meaning add points, negative meaning subtract points. For $uid, put in the ID of the user you would like to alter.
July 18th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
@die_maske: Can you email admin@techcube.net with your login + website details? I would like to have a look at your blog. Thanks!
July 20th, 2009 at 12:27 am
Peter, I haven’t start working on applying the hook of CubePoints to other plugins. But here is an issue that we’ve noticed. After commenting out the calls to jquery.js and jtips.js files, 2 days laters, we’ve notices that authors who publish a post are not getting points credited to them.
Another thing you may wanna note. A day earlier we have made some changes where in we moved quite a few posts from one category to another including tags were dropped or posts were assigned new tags. All this resulted in someway that CubePoints sees it as new posts being published and assigned credit points to each other of those posts that was moved.
Meanwhile, now, an author publishing a post is not receiving credit points.
July 20th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Peter, please ignore last issue. We got it resolved, it was an error at our end.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:53 pm
On my site http://www.ps3blog.net/2009/07/23/castle-crashers-announc-for-ps3/?theme=fusion
When I have this plugin enabled (btw I love it). It breaks my theme a little. I’m not able to switch between the comment and trackbacks tabs any more. And there is a quote feature that no longer works. They also use jquery. Any ideas?
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Hi Tosh,
We roughly know what the problem is with jquery and will release a fix in due time. Meanwhile, you can comment out the lines which calls the jquery js. As for the theme, I’m not exactly sure what you mean. Maybe you could upload a screenshot somewhere?
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:08 pm
On the URL I listed above, try clicking comments and trackbacks. Normally they switch tabs, but they don’t after enabling the plugin. BTW I’m on 1.2.5 Beta 1.
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Try commenting out the line calling jquery in cubepoints.
There might be a conflict of variables somewhere.
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:22 pm
I commented out this line in the cubepoints.php file. Line # 820
echo ”;
And I got this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL in /wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 1
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Can you double check? I just tried commenting and it works perfectly. If you could find no error, try downloading a new package, replace the old cubepoints.php with a new one and commenting again. I am guessing you might have commented something you didn’t want to in the process of finding the jquery line.
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:55 pm
The issue is not be able to leave comments. It’s being able to switch between Comments & Trackbacks. Then when you hover over the comment a quote box popped up before I activated your plugin.
I did remove that line. But since of the error I restored it back to original so the site would be usable.
I LOVE your plugin, just need to figure out how to make it place nice with my theme.
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:59 pm
No no, I mean, I can’t seem to find the error you reported after commenting.
Would you mind giving us a list of plugins that you use? We are REALLY trying to solve this problem here.
I have sent you an email. Please check your inbox as it is quite important. Thanks!
July 24th, 2009 at 2:31 am
Thanks for the support! Looking forward to the next update :)
July 24th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
The plugin is a super idea. Unfortunately, the user can still not buy from the points.
A new update would be nice
July 30th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Hi, Great plugin, was looking for it.
Its perfect for encouraging users for comments & posts.
But if a admin wanna share revenue with users, can users purchase ad space/pageviews with points ?
e.g. 10 points for 10 pageviews of banner ad.
e.g. 50 points of 1 day text link.
(With help of additional ad management plugin or ad management could be added in CubePoints too)
p.s. If this function is already included or possible please let me know :) (sorry for bad English)
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:16 am
Version 1.3 of cubepoints has been released!
Fixes some javascript errors some of you might face with conflicting plugins.
August 4th, 2009 at 1:50 am
Thanks for the new release!!!
How should I update not to loose any data?
August 4th, 2009 at 1:57 am
Great plugin! I have a couple of questions though. There’s a section called Modules with a link to http://techcube.net/cubepoints/modules, which doesn’t exist. What are the modules for and where do I get them? Also, what is a cron job?
August 4th, 2009 at 11:42 am
@Levani: Just update as you normally would. Deactivate, upload and overwrite over the files, and activate.
@Liesl: We are still working on the module system, which will hopefully bring more functionality to the plugin. There are no modules available at the moment, but will be soon later.
For more information regarding cron jobs, visit: http://www.aota.net/Script_Installation_Tips/cronhelp.php3
August 4th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Hi.
While recording with the new members get this error
Warning: Missing argument 4 for cp_log(), called in /home/ugursa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 250 and defined in /home/ugursa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 120

August 4th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
I’m terribly sorry for this problem. Edit line 250 in cubepoints.php to the following:
cp_log(’reg’, $uid, get_option(’cp_reg_points’,”), $uid);
A new bugfix release will be made.
August 4th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Thanks to Ugur SELAM, CubePoints version 1.3.1 fixes an important problem. Please make sure you update to it as soon as possible. Thanks!
August 4th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
I installed the new version. but the same problem continues.
I think only my problem on my site
August 4th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Thanks Peter!
August 4th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
And about the cron, I’m not really an expert, and I was trying to figure out how to use the feature to let new users start off with 100 points. It says there to add a cronjob and I’m confused as to what I need to do exactly. Sorry for bothering you so much. :/
August 4th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Nevermind, it’s working now that I upgraded to the newest version. Thanks!
August 4th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
@Ugur: Would you mind sending information about your site to admin@techcube.net, including an admin acc so that I can have a look?
@Liesl: Nope, you don’t need cron to do that. Under CubePoints -> Configure, you will see an option titled “Amount of points per registration”.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Upload files via FTP but not corrected. Then add on the site was updated. The problem did not stay. Thanks Peter
August 5th, 2009 at 2:24 am
It didn’t work for 1.3 but it does with the new release. I had the same error Ugur had. Thanks!
August 5th, 2009 at 9:15 am
I see I see. Glad that it worked for you!
August 5th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
I am hoping that this is already included in some way, and I just can not find it.. I love the plug in – and it is working great.
I am hoping that there is a post-back setup (info sent to a link that adds points based on the email address or user name in the posting from the external site). I want site A to be able to credit site B via something being sent on the trigger I setup. Is this possible already? If not, would it be hard to create a post-back web page that all it does is parse this info?
August 5th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
My last post did not complete… It is something similar to the cron action of adding points:
/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cron.php?k=6470bf060a&new=100
I want to be able to go:
http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cron.php?k=admin_pass=mypass&email=user_email_address&new=100
I hope this makes better sense now…
Thanks!

Hi Zhang go now this way to contact you ! My last 3 Email to Jonatan i waiting answer 1 week.
I pay very fast last week to includet my wishlist in the Plugin, and Jonathan offer me to finish it on last weekend.
Iam timing my project and dont know what iam doing now ?

Hello Carlos,
I’m sorry for the delays.
Please be paitient as we’re still working on the plugin and the extensions.

August 5th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
May I ask what are these javascript files necessary for? What happens if I remove them?
Thanks
August 7th, 2009 at 12:55 am
How can I get user’s points with an user ID in custom page template.
August 7th, 2009 at 2:26 am
For all who are waiting: CubePoints Store Beta http://techcube.net/2009/08/cubepoints-store-beta-release/
@Levani: Most of them are required for the Donate box, with the exception of jQuery + jTips for displaying points.
@Answers: Use < ?php cp_displayPoints([user id], [return], [format]); ?>
user id = the user whom you want to display points for. return = return/echo. 0 = return, 1 = echo. format = format the display or not. 1 = Prefix + points + Suffix, 0 = points
August 8th, 2009 at 12:02 am
I’m happy about the store. But the modules page says no modules exist. I have put the PHP in / wp-content/plugins / but unfortunately does not happen.
Can you please set an example of the table get to display the article?
Regards Michi
August 8th, 2009 at 12:09 am
You will need to activate the “CubePoints Store” Plugin in Plugin -> Add New
August 8th, 2009 at 12:22 am
I forgot the to activate the plugin^^. But I get error line 21-25 I have deleted it then it works.
Can you please set an example of the table get to display the article?

For the new update would it be possible when you mouse over the top users (widget) the pop up box right now gets hidden behind flash embeds.
August 8th, 2009 at 2:26 am
@MMM: I think that error only happens because you have open_basedir restriction. We will look into that problem and see how we can fix it.
@Tosh: That has to do with your flash embeds. You have to set a parameter for your flash setting wmode to be transparent.
By the way, the PayPal CubePoints Module is nearing completion.
Anyone willing to beta-test it?

Hey guys, great plugin!
I was just wondering, is there a way to make this plugin work with bbpress too? I have bbpress on my site (www.nintendostar.com) and it would be great if members could receive points for posting on the forum as well as our news reports. BBpress and Wordpress both use the same account, so this might not be so hard to do.
If you could let me know if there’s a way of doing it, that would be awesome, thanks. :)
August 9th, 2009 at 4:56 am
Good idea! perhaps you can also make with Simple Press. Jonathan did you get my email?
August 20th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Cube points is no longer picking up the names of people who register and make comments. Also is not updating points on some of the existing accounts. Any thoughts on how to fix this??
August 20th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Validation Help…
Im validating my site using xhtml strict and have stumbled across some errors with this part of the cubepoints code.
…plugins/cubepoints/actions.php?&a=info&quser=Emma” class=”cp_info jTip” id=”cp_widget_info_Emma…
The ‘&a’ and ‘&q’ bits are causing errors such as…
Cannot generate system identifier for general entity “a”…
General entity “a” not defined…
Reference not terminated by REFC delimiter…
Any ideas on how to correct or work around?
Thanks in advance, keep up the great work on a great plugin.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:28 pm
hi i see the request for wpmu suport has been up since v 1.0. Is there any plans to integrate gp anytime soon. Or do we need to start looking elsewere for a similar plugin?
as of now none of the gp versions seem to work with mu. all installs and activate but, no users shows up in the list
/best regards lillbubs
August 21st, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Hi lillbubs,
We’re quite busy at the moment with other commitments, so I don’t think we’ll be adding support to WPMU at this point in time.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:43 pm
thats unfortunate to hear, well i wish you the best of luck with your other projects. :)
August 27th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Donate dont work on last wp 2.8
August 28th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Hi,
Are you going to add level support in nearest future?
Thanks
August 28th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Not that soon. Peter and I are really busy at this point in time.
Maybe you could write a plugin for cubepoints for that? (:
August 31st, 2009 at 1:41 am
Nice plugin, but I’ve got a problem.
Everything was working great, but now all we get is Error: Do not access this file directly.
Don’t have a clue why this happening, tried reinstalling, still getting same results.
Help would be appreciated, cheers.
August 31st, 2009 at 3:47 am
On a side note, it still gives out points correctly, yet we can’t view them in the sidebar widget and can’t donate them without receiving that error.
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Hey It seems that “Donate” button inside the donation screen does not work. Nothing happens when we click it.
————-
PHP – 5.2.10
WordPress – 2.8.4
CubePoints – 1.3.1
Donations enabled.
+ Also tested with all other plugins disabled.
September 4th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
I’ve set a negative number for writing new posts. How can I give the points back if the post is deleted?
September 8th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Just a thought for a future update. How about points for a daily visit of the site. Give people another reason to come back to your site every day.
BTW, I love the plugin :)
September 10th, 2009 at 1:41 am
Why does cp_alterPoints() function doesn’t allow to determine the type? I’m creating small hack to display user logs on site and this causes some troubles as I also want to integrate cubepoints with some rating plugins…
September 10th, 2009 at 3:14 am
I do not believe that here at some point what happened again. The plugin is really great, but if you do not even get an answer to questions, it’s already sad. Unfortunately, this is always the case with such amazing things.
@Tosh That’s what I’ve thought of that time and also one written, but that does not work Lol
September 12th, 2009 at 3:50 am
I have installed this, we are running a hosted mu environment with wordpress 2.8.2 and installed your newest version of cubepoints. When I click on the “Manage” tab none of my users are listed (even though some have points), and when I search for them they don’t show up. Any thoughts on why this is happening? thanks.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:36 am
I’m trying to display the cubepoints on a post on a multiauthor blog. I can’t seem to get it to work, it defaults to the pts total of the user that is logged in, I tried placing the following inside the loop:
It doesn’t work for me, but when I echo the_author_ID() I get the right number, and when I put in numbers like cp_displayPoints(4); it works as well. I don’t know why my code isn’t working…any suggestions on getting the cubepoints to display in the loop?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:06 am
Ah my code in the former comment didn’t display. this is the code I tried: cp_displayPoints(the_author_ID()) and I put it inside the wordpress loop.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:23 am
also tried cp_displayPoints(the_author_meta(’ID’),1,0)…inside loop..notta work…
September 15th, 2009 at 5:18 am
Are you guys still working on the store module?
September 15th, 2009 at 10:23 am
@Levani: That sounds like a nice feature to implement.. I’ll keep that in mind.
@Tosh: Yeah, that feature has been suggested by a lot of people already. We’ll see how we can include it.
@MMM: I am truly sorry for our inactivity. As mentioned, we are extremely busy with our schoolwork, and please understand it as we are still just high school students.
@stephanie: Unfortunately, CubePoints is not compatible with WPMU yet, because of the lack of documentation is available.
@Sarah: Try cp_displayPoints(get_the_author_ID()) – When you run the_author_ID, it echoes the results out.
@al: We are currently working on a bugfix version, so technically yeah, fixing bugs in stores too.
September 15th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
@Peter
Thanks!! cp_displayPoints(get_the_author_ID()) works perfectly!!
September 16th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
So much potential for this plugin, that I would buy modules ;)
Especially some nice social php gaming and hidden achievement unlocks.
User reaches 99 post count – “You have unlocked a shoe phone”, display trophies on your profile and post pages or sell them for Points.
Also limited shop inventory items so that users can trade the rare icons.
***Donating points seems to be broken in WP 2.8.4 ???
Can you confirm that?
September 17th, 2009 at 2:21 am
Hi.. i’ve made modification for WPMU. WPMU has different db structure so you need to change the $wpdb->prefix to the proper one.
Search for every $wpdb->prefix only for users & usermeta tables and change it manually to your database prefix, default is ‘wp_’
$wpdb->prefix can’t use on WPMU because the value will be ‘wp_1_’ not ‘wp_’ where the table number is your blogs id.
When you look at db you will find these tables:
- wp_1_cubepoints
- wp_usermeta
- wp_users
If you use ‘wp_’ prefix for you database you can use my cubepoints.php file: http://www.mediafire.com/?ubkdxo3rngo
extract and replace to your cubepoints.php in plugins/cubepoints folder.
hope it helps.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:16 am
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Harv! We owe you.
Just a note. You can get WPMU Prefix (wp_) with $wpmuBaseTablePrefix
I will try to implement WPMU compatibility in the next release.
September 17th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Hi Peter. Thanks
Also, how to add avatar for Top users widget? It should more pretty if have avatars there ;)
at line 794 it can get user data with $data['user_login'] and $data['display_name'], how if I want to get user_email? I’ve tried use $data['user_email'] but didn’t get any result.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Please create a paged navigation for comments for this page. 400 comments on one page is too much…
September 17th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
@Levani: Will fix that sooner or later, we’re kinda really busy with other work (=
@Harv: You can add avatars by editing cubepoints.php under the widget function. We didnt add this option as the layout varies with each theme. While it might look good on one, it might be misaligned on another theme.
September 18th, 2009 at 12:18 am
No ideas how to fix t then?
September 22nd, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Hi, I’m using CubePoints with Alkivia Open Community. I’m trying to show the # of points next to each registered user who leaves a comment.
I’m using the code:
But it is showing every user has 50000 points. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks!
September 22nd, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Sorry: this is the code I’m using: cp_displayPoints(get_the_author_ID())
And yet it is showing every user with 50000 points. I’ve been at this for days and can’t figure it out!
September 22nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Sorry for the triple post but I just wanted to add that
cp_displayPoints(get_comment_author())
does not work either.
It’s still returning with 50000 points (which is the amount of points I have as the admin)
Thanks in advance
September 22nd, 2009 at 1:50 pm
Hi Jillian,
I think you miss something..
cp_displayPoints() is to display current logged in user point not other user points.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Hi Jillian,
Try this:
Paste this code into your theme’s functions.php file:
function _get_user_points( $user_id ) {
//get points from database
$points = $wpdb->get_row(”SELECT * FROM $wpdb->usermeta WHERE user_id = $user_id AND meta_key = ‘cpoints’ “);
echo $points->meta_value;
Past this code in you comments template, where you would like to display user points. Remember that this code should be placed in comments loop.
if ( function_exists(_get_user_points) ) { _get_user_points( $comment->user_id ) }
Hope this helps.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Add } symbol after the first code :)
September 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Hi there, and thanks for replying! I still can’t get that second bit of code to work in my comments loop.
When placed between PHP tags, the following code does not make anything show up: if ( function_exists(_get_user_points) ) { _get_user_points( $comment->user_id ) ; }
Do I have to place that functions.php code somewhere specific in the functions.php file?
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:08 pm
hmm try use “get_user_points” instead of “_get_user_points”
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Well, I’ll try to make cubepoints compatible with WPMU and Buddypress.. Since my new site need it.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I trued using “get_user_points” instead of “_get_user_points” and still, nothing showed up. Any other thoughts?
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:25 pm
function get_user_points( $user_id ) {
//get points from database
global $wpdb;
$points = $wpdb->get_row(”SELECT * FROM $wpdb->usermeta WHERE user_id = $user_id AND meta_key = ‘cpoints’ “);
echo $points->meta_value;
}
don’t forget the “global $wpdb;” when connect to database on separate function.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Harv,
I pasted your code exactly as you typed it in my functions.php right at the bottom, above the final PHP closing tag.
I then included this code in the comments loop, between PHP tags:
if ( function_exists(get_user_points) ) { get_user_points( $comment->user_id ) ; }
And still, nothing is showing up on the website.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Super idea. I wish the whole thing with Simplepress.
September 25th, 2009 at 11:16 am
This plugin looks really good. Thank you for your efforts!
I have a few suggestions for some new features, if I may.
[] Give the user X amount of points when he login every X hours.
[] Rate another user will give the rated person X amount of points depending on the rating. Rating should be limited to once per user.
[] Easy integration with “Alkivia Open Community” will make it possible to add features like giving points when someone leaves a comment on a users profile page, clicks on a picture in a user gallery, rates a picure, etc.
[] Make it possible to choose if every action will add or reduce points and also choose who will get the added/reduced points. i.e choose if the user who “gives” the comment or the person who “gets” the comment will be given/reduced points.
That’s all I can think of now :)
Thank you for your time!
September 25th, 2009 at 11:23 am
I am using this with Alkivia Open Community, and I’ve still been unable to display the number of points of the comment author.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on the code that I can use to accomplish this?
September 25th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Sorry for the inactivity. I was away in a school camp for the past week, and therefore could not respond.
Jillian, would you mind giving me an admin account at your site so that I can check your site? Send it via the “contact” form in the nav bar.
September 25th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Andreas,
Thanks for suggesting! It might take some time for us to release the next version, but we’ll be sure to keep those in mind.
September 25th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
So the ideas are super, but the problem is the time, first time have to work the other two plugins.Then we can consider further .I know that it is not exactly beautiful here nothing is running, but what can you do when you have no time.
MMM
September 26th, 2009 at 12:36 am
We all understand that you both are buzy, Peter and MMM and I really appreciate your efforts!
I’ve been reading up on the manual and the toplist feature.
I’m wondering if it is possible to get the logged in users current position in the toplist? I know how to display how many points you have but not your own current position.
I think this feature would be good to motivate users to climb the toplist. This way you can show a top 10 list and below the list you can display something like “your position is 57th place”.
Thank you for your time.
September 26th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Daily points for logging onto the site is really good idea. Please add this feature to the next release.
Thanks for the great plugin
September 28th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Hey,
I would love to get this one working. I use Wordpress MU with Buddypress. The plugin works as far as giving points. But when you look at the admin panel you see no users on the first screen where you can give points. As far as my widgets are concerned it will show my points but for total points for the top people it will not work I get an error. Lastly when you try to give points you type in their name and then it disappears. It seems that with MU cubepoints will not connect to my user database. Can someone help me with what code I should paste into my actions.php to get this thing working. PLEASE!
Thanks much.
Michael
September 29th, 2009 at 7:07 am
Still love the plugin, another idea I had.
Be able to just add points from the admin side easier.
For example, user has 100 points. I want to add 75 points. So I change 100 to 175 and update. Instead have an option to just give him 75 points and have the system update and add for me.

@matera
I have solved the problem on my previous comment. WPMU db using different prefix for each blog.
@Tosh
You can add and update user points in admin panel.

HARV I have tried you last post. Maybe I did not get it if you could please walk me through you post that would be very helpful. Are the some words I have to change to make it find my site? Do I have to paste it somewhere special. Please help me out.
Thanks,
Michael
September 30th, 2009 at 7:37 am
Hi, how do you add avatars in the Top Users widget?
I know Harv asked this question previously, but you only said to edit cubepoints.php. What exactly should I add/edit?
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:52 am
@HARV
Please help me get this up for my wordpress MU. You said you answered it up above. I have tried that code. It did not work. Can you please tell me more details about what I am supposed to do. Thanks.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Hi Matera,
Could you please send me your website link? So, I can find the problem.
You can send your link to my email: harv_knight[at]yahoo[dot]com
October 5th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Well, it’s 2 weeks later, and I’ve still been unable to get Cubepoints to display the # of points of the person who left the comment. I have not heard back from Peter. Does anyone have any other ideas as to how to make this work? Please help! :)
October 5th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Hi Jillian,
Can I have look your site? you can send you weblink to my email: harv_knight[at]yahoo[dot]com
Also if you mind, can you create an admin account for dashboard and ftp for me?
I will try to look what’s going wrong with it.
October 5th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Hey Jillian,
Sorry for the trouble. I actually sent two emails to the email address that you specified in the comment form. Can you double check the mailboxes of jill@foodnetworkhumor.com ?
October 5th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Hi Peter,
I just want to know if you working cubepoints for WPMU + Buddypress, when it will be release?
If you busy and need little help from me, just let me know.. we can discuss it together.
October 6th, 2009 at 2:55 am
How do you add avatars in the Top Users widget?
I know Harv asked this question previously, but you only said to edit cubepoints.php. What exactly should I add/edit?
October 6th, 2009 at 4:04 am
Hi Liesl,
I found a way to add avatar to Top User widget
Open cubepoints.php
On line 195 find:
$array = $wpdb->get_results(’SELECT ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’users.id, ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’users.user_login, ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’users.display_name, ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’usermeta.meta_value
Replace with:
$array = $wpdb->get_results(’SELECT ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’users.id, ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’users.user_login, ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’users.display_name,
‘.$wpdb->prefix.’users.user_email,
‘.$wpdb->prefix.’usermeta.meta_value
Find line 795:
$html .= ‘‘.$data['display_name'].’ (’.cp_formatPoints((int) $data['meta_value']).’)‘;
Replace with:
$html .= ”.get_avatar($data['user_email'], 30).’ ‘.$data['display_name'].’ (’.cp_formatPoints((int) $data['meta_value']).’)‘;
If you want to change the avatar size just change get_avatar($data['user_email'], 30) <— 30 is the size
Hope it helps
October 6th, 2009 at 4:10 am
Ups.. comments doesn’t allow html tags..
Just use my cubepoints.php
Download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2z2m2otyjtd
October 6th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
thank you, Harv.
October 7th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Dear Peter,
First up, I can’t thank you enough for CubePoints.
My problem is similar to some already mentioned in this page, but I couldn’t find a definative solution. I have enabled user to user donation, but as a test user, I cannot donate. Nothing happens when I press “Donate”. My points get deducted in the small popup screen but it is not updated in the main database. What should I do?
Secondly, is there a way to change the text “Donate Points” to something like “Donate AA Dollars” which would be more appropriate for my site.
Thirdly, a lot of commenters have suggested the feature of automatically increasing say 10 points per visits per day. Is there any way to do that in the present release by adding some code? I am seriously looking forward to this feature in the next release.
Wish you all the best.
Anjali
October 7th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Hi Anjali,
I just want to help. You can change Donate Points text in cubepoints.php
Find line 753:
<li><?php echo ‘<a href=”‘.PLUGIN_DIR.’actions.php?a=donate&height=166&width=500″ title=”‘.__(’Donate Points’,'cp’).’”>’.__(’Donate Points’,'cp’).’</a>’;?> </li></ul>
Replace with:
<li><?php echo ‘<a href=”‘.PLUGIN_DIR.’actions.php?a=donate&height=166&width=500″ title=”‘.__(’Donate Points’,'cp’).’”>’.__(’Donate AA Points’,'cp’).’</a>’;?> </li></ul>
October 8th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Anyone know how to fix the Donate Points issue with wordpress… So that it actually does donate points from one user to another!
???
October 8th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
@JD
I thought that only mine won’t work. Many comments here said that donate button didn’t work. It use jquery to submit the query, and I cannot fix it since I’m not familiar with jquery. Hope Peter will fix it for us.
October 8th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Yeah, a lot of people have been complaining that “Donate Points” doesn’t – the problem is, I can’t figure out how – I am trying my very best to. You see, it works perfectly in my local server with a clean installation of wp2.8.4…
Jonathan and I’ll be away for one week in California (http://techcube.net/2009/10/well-see-you-in-san-francisco/), and hopefully by the time I come back, I’ll have good news for you. =)
Once again, sorry for the inactivity, and thank you very much for your support. Your enthusiasm toward this project had been a great motivation for us. THANKS!
October 11th, 2009 at 5:48 am
The Donate Button issue has been identified – it has something to do with an old version of jQuery. I’ll try to fix it as soon as possible.
October 11th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Hi Peter, Good News! Can’t wait for next release. BTW, I have suggestion to create another meta for rank points, so we have Rank and Coins. So we can keep the rank not will be deducted when user buy something.
October 13th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Hey, just got to say this is a great plugin! One thing though is I noticed on the module page is I have no “configure” column for the settings for store and paypal module.
In the cubepoints file I noticed there are only 3 columns (url, description, and author) for the module tab. Is this file missing the “configure” column in the php file.
October 13th, 2009 at 11:38 am
The module is extended plugin you need download and activate the module. Download it here:
http://techcube.net/2009/08/cubepoints-store-beta-release/
http://techcube.net/cubepoints/modules/paypal-topup-module/
October 15th, 2009 at 2:57 am
Hi again Peter,
I think that we should need to create multi widgets of Cubepoints using New WP 2.8 API. Because currently we can not use same widget twice.
October 15th, 2009 at 4:48 am
This is more of a suggestion than a request. Have you ever thought of making cubepoints compatible with wp-e-commerce instead of working on a store?
wp-e-commerce has everything you could want except the possibility of using it with points. I’ve tried to make it work but couldn’t.
Is anyone up for the challenge of working on this? I might be able to get some sort of payment together for helping..
Thanks, JoeM
October 18th, 2009 at 1:16 am
Hey, this is awesome. I have an idea for you people…
How about: on the users dashboard add the options to donate and view points?
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Hey,
when will cibepoints be working with WPMU and Buddypress?
Thanks for your efforts!
October 28th, 2009 at 5:30 am
the donating point is not working. how do you enable that ?
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:32 pm
How do you make it so the points will show up next to the user’s comment? Like:
Tom ($3200)
October 28th, 2009 at 5:30 am
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Good luck, Tom. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do that for the past 2 months. If you get anywhere, please post the solution here.
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:39 pm
You have to edit your WordPress Theme.
Add this to the comment loop:
< ?php
if(function_exists('cp_displayPoints')){
cp_displayPoints(get_comment_author());
}
?>
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Jonathan, nothing shows up when I add that code to my comments loop. Nothing at all.
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:45 pm
I could help you with this if you would send me your FTP details for your site. You may email it to jonathan[at]techcube.net and I’ll take a look right away.
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I’m sorry, I don’t feel comfortable giving my FTP login to a stranger. Perhaps I could mail you the files you need. Would that be just the comments.php file?
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Jillian, I have mine set at the comment box like this:
Logged in as <a href="/wp-admin/profile.php”> () <a href="” title=”Log out of this account”>Log out »
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Yes, that’s possible. However, I might not be able to solve the problem this way, but I’ll try to help you as far as I can.
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Er that screwed up, how do I paste code in here? Let me try again…
//Logged in as <a href="/wp-admin/profile.php”> () <a href="” title=”Log out of this account”>Log out »//
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:57 pm
@Tom: Try using the [code] tag, otherwise you can use http://pastebin.com/
(replace the square brackets with the HTML type brackets)
November 2nd, 2009 at 1:02 pm
[code]Logged in as <a href="/wp-admin/profile.php">
()
<a href="" title="Log out of this account">Log out »
[/code]
Ok last try… If you do a search string in your comment.php for the first few line of code you can swap out those two lines with the stuff above. It’ll show your points right above the comment box. Currently I have it set so it’ll show ($2) for example, you can edit it so it’ll say whatever you want by removing the to ( ) before and after the code that Jonathan provided. So you can make it say … “Hello, admin. You currently have $9. Log out »”
November 2nd, 2009 at 6:29 pm
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but there should also be an option for how many points you can earn each day. Set up an option so the admin can lock out point distribution after someone earns X amount of points or something.
November 6th, 2009 at 12:47 am
Possible to change it so a user gets points by simply visiting the site every day? This would give them another reason to visit the site every day.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:25 am
Hi love the plugin!
I’m getting the following error text displayed in the “Top 10 Contributors” sidebar widget:
Warning: uniqid() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in /nfs/c02/h09/mnt/27514/domains/dictators.citysearch.com/html/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 794
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Robert
November 10th, 2009 at 9:13 am
Same question as a lot of other people have… I will be running MU/Buddypress and was wondering if/when it might be supported for a global installation.
The idea is to offer points for users for reviewing other peoples writing.
And I was wondering if it would be possible to set up a system where it costs points to actually make a post?
November 13th, 2009 at 7:29 am
ty that we are not go any further, though it would promise
November 14th, 2009 at 8:08 am
Jonathan! Peter! Looooov- iiiiiing this (in theory)!!!
I’m only just installing it now. But I’ve read through all the comments up to april and thought I’d leave on of my own.
I’m an idea person, so I’ve got a ton of feature suggestions. But the one I think is most important is the following!
Run cubepoints on your own site. Close comments to registered users and grant each registered users a few start up points so they can comment.
THEEEEN… sell more points. This plugin is amazing in concept! But if people want support, they should donate money. If everyone that has a question or request has to pay $10 to get a ton of points to ask them… you guys might make some money, hence… find more time to build these features. :)
There’s not a lot things i will pay for these days. But convenience and support for grass roots efforts falls on the top of my priority list. So yeah, all the best to you guys. I’ll check in shortly with feature requests once i’ve played around with the plugin.
November 14th, 2009 at 8:16 am
Oh! I forgot you have an MJ who’s posted… I”ll post as pharmTek from now on so as not to get confused. Thanks again.
November 16th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
“Donate” don’t work :( (парни если кто разобрался напишите)
November 17th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Hey,
is there a way for a compatible use of WPMU+Buddypress and cubepoints? It just does not work on my blog!!!
If not: Is there another point system out there?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings
November 21st, 2009 at 8:27 am
I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my installation – when I click on a user in the top posters list in the sidebar widget, nothing happens. When mouse pointer is hovering above that user the pointer gets an attached question mark, and a little window next to it labeled Points, with some kind of an animated horizontal bar shifting left and right all the time. I’ve tried several different web browsers, and I’ve also cheched out other themes, but this behaviour doesn’t change. How do I get the plugin to show a list of users posts when I click on a user in the widget, and some useful information in the hovering window?
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:19 am
Here an idea from the Wordpress forums from ChimpanzeeUK. I agree on both ideas highly :D
It would be really good if I could give users points for just visiting the site but to avoid abuse, obviously there’s have to be an option for setting a timescale for how often users can be given these points. So users would get, say 5 points for visiting but won’t get another 5 for 24 hours.
Also, integration into the Simple:press forum plugin would be really good, allowing points to be given for posting in the forum.
November 27th, 2009 at 10:48 am
hi this plugin is really great…
can it be used with the ‘eshop plugin’? points can used for purchase?
November 27th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
Would be a very cool feature if the user got points for SHARING the post with his/her friends on Facebook or Twitter.
I really hope that you will consider.
Thank you for a great plugin!
November 28th, 2009 at 5:31 am
Hi, I am trying to activate the plugin, however I get this error
“arse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homepages/0/d295906501/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 665″

December 1st, 2009 at 10:37 am
Hello, I’m going to be starting a website soon and this seems to be a good plugin for what I want to do.
With this is there a way you can limit how many points a user gets a day? I don’t want people to think they can spam and get points per post and just make a lot of comments?
Thanks.
December 15th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
hi guys
how to change points by categorie.
the points is given by default for all post to all categories.
if i want to give twice points for per example, post for categori who have ID=23, how i can do this?
December 17th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
A new version is coming soon, but we’ll need you all to help us beta test. Please read this post for more information: http://techcube.net/2009/12/interested-in-beta-testing/
To all users of this plugin: I know I haven’t been replying to all your comments, but I’ve (really) read all of them. After this bugfix version, there will be another one with new features shortly.
December 20th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
I’m curious
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:06 pm
I’ve been looking for this kind of plugin for a very long time… Kudos to Peter and Jonathan for this plugin!
I’ve read thru the comments but I didn’t see the feature I was looking for (or did I miss it?).
I would suggest that the point system be related to roles in the site, that whenever they reach a certain number of points their role is upgraded and for each role a new right or functionality becomes available to the user (eg. at 20 pts they could now upload pictures, etc.). Is this possible guys? Thanks in advance and more power!
December 26th, 2009 at 8:50 am
Need to get the file to be updated. The download link still lead to the old version
December 26th, 2009 at 9:06 am

Right. We’re having some problems with the WordPress SVN… so, yup, the present is going to be delayed.

thank you kiamaru, for the Idea.
Peter: has you read my mail
December 26th, 2009 at 9:39 am
Yeah, I did, and I believe I sent you back a reply?
Anyway, I’ve uploaded the new version on this server right now. Still having trouble with the WordPress SVN, and I hope to solve it soon. For those who want to have it right now, get it here: http://techcube.net/cubepoints

Hi,
The ranks system is really great but there are some quite necessary features missing.
1. Ability to delete added ranks.
2. Ability to remove the ? symbol from comments.
3. I have disable the user-to-user donations but when I click the ? it still displays the donation button!
December 27th, 2009 at 8:03 am
Crap, why didn’t I think of that. I’ll add those in really soon. Thanks!

Hey,
when will cubepoints work with buddypress and wpmu?
December 30th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Hello there!
I just downloaded the newest version of Cube Points and a previous error that messed up an autolink feature I had is gone. However now I have the following issue. Each time I try to change the cube points for a user and want to update it leads me to the wordpress login page even though I am already logged in as admin. Same happens if I try to change the configuration under “Configure” and click on “Update Options.” Any idea what that could be?
I also only see 5 lines of users on the “Cube Point-Manage” page which leads to a lot of pages ….anyway to display much more users per page?
Thanks in advance for help and great idea,
Marin
December 30th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Hi, I have the same “issues” that Levani mentioned. There should be a way to get rid of the question mark (?) on comments.
December 30th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
CubePoints will not work for BuddyPress and WPMU, and sadly we don’t have plans for it yet.
Marin: Have you tried a different browser? The Manage page has been updated in CP2.1.
Liesl: Yes, these options are available in CP2.1.
December 30th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
Hello Peter,
I have the login problem in both the newest version of Firefox and Google Chrome. Is CP 2.0 the newest version?
I have no idea why it’s directing me to the Wordpress login page when I am already logged in. I have no possibility to make changes to the settings or users :-(
December 30th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
@Marin: What other plugins do you have installed? Does this happen when you try save settings for other plugins?
December 30th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
That is really weird, I’ve never seen anything like that. Do you have any plugins that interfere with the Admin Panel?
December 30th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Peter had seen that you have not yet exchanged Doc. When you’ve finished the new version, think of me. What is the pot with that?
December 30th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Hello there,
I have no problems to save settings of other plugins. As soon as I hit “update options” in “Cube Points – configure” or if I try to change points for a user and save it I get redirected to the Wordpress login page. Really strange. As I said does not happen with the other Plugins I have.
I have a bunch of plugins installed but never had any problems saving or changing options.
December 31st, 2009 at 3:23 am
Ok, so where do I get version 2.1?
December 31st, 2009 at 10:58 am
I had a link in the post I just made. It’s at: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/cubepoints.2.1beta.zip
December 31st, 2009 at 11:54 am
Have it tested at 2.7 and 2.9, have found no problems.
December 31st, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Alright, thanks. I have one more question… For the “daily” login points, if I select every week, would that mean that the user will get the chosen amount of points every week that he/she logged in (7 days in a row)?
December 31st, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Nope, it means the user will only have to log in once in 7 days to be awarded.
December 31st, 2009 at 12:36 pm
have now completed the translated, but I still have time to read about it. Why do you not see?
December 31st, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Put the translation in /lang/cp-*language code*.po
You’ll have to create the folder lang yourself – sorry I forgot to tell you. Would you mind sending a copy of your translated po to me? Much thanks!
December 31st, 2009 at 1:11 pm
But I knew with the folder. But not before the country code, the cp must stand. But it will not do. I’ll send it once. not for users who have not finished.
December 31st, 2009 at 1:26 pm
i have found a Bug. Points in “my points” is not right. I have 1000 point myself
http://www.imgbox.de/users/Simsobjekt/1.jpg
December 31st, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Oop sorry, that was a stupid typo bug. Fixed. Thanks!
December 31st, 2009 at 1:52 pm
and you’ve watched the why it does not work? (Translation)
December 31st, 2009 at 3:32 pm
A few posts above Liesl mentioned “daily” points… where is this feature? Has it been added? I don’t see it in the test blog.
December 31st, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Oops, honestly the test blog hasn’t been updated for a while :X. My bad. It’s a new feature in CubePoints 2.1, which is about to go gold soon.
I will talk about the feature more in the docs, but basically, when an user logs in once in the specified period of time, he gets awarded.
Let’s say if you set the interval to be a day. When a user logs on 24 hours after last time he has been awarded points, he gets X number of points.
Ack, I suck at explaining, but you get the idea, yeah?
December 31st, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Ohhhh snap, that’s awesome, can’t wait.
December 31st, 2009 at 3:47 pm
And one more question about that, is the interval a day as in 24 hours (Which means that the daily points are on their time) or does the admin set the time interval for a day? Meaning that users have a certain period to log in for the points before a new “day” starts.
I’m not sure if that’s clear… but hopefully it is .
December 31st, 2009 at 3:50 pm
My bad. The interval means how often the user can get points by logging in. So, you can set the interval to be an hour, and as long as the user logs in every 60 minutes, he can get the points.
December 31st, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Ohhh okay, I understand. Thanks.
January 1st, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Hi, in the My Points page, where it says “My Points:” the number that shows up is 234, and it’s the same with other users. Why is that?
January 1st, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Hey Liesl
You must download the plugin again and exchange. This bug has been fixed.
January 2nd, 2010 at 3:19 am
Alright, thanks a lot!
January 2nd, 2010 at 3:11 pm
Hey together,
when i delete a article, the points are not deducted.
January 2nd, 2010 at 3:41 pm
I still have the strange issue that I cannot update the points for users or change the configuration. When I try to save the changes it redirects me to the login page….
I would really loooooooove to use the plugin as it is exactly what I was looking for.
Any chance that one of you guys can have a look at the problem? I can update all options of the other plugins without issues and also have tried to deactivate the other plugins that might cause problems but to no avail… :-(
January 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm
I have found another problem: In the main menu i see only the following structure:
Page -> Sub page -> Sub sub page
A fourth sub page won’t displayed.

True, lack this feature, first you must then change the points manually.
Marin
Which version of Wordpress are you? What kind of browser you use.

Sorry, my second comment is thought for my template :) PLease delete

I am using the newest version of Firefox (3.5.6) but have tried it also with Google Chrome with the same problem. The Wordpress version is 2.8.6.
I tried again to check if I have problems saving parameters and options for other plugins but they work fine.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:07 am
@Marin: I believe I sent you an email before. Would you mind trying disable all other plugins and try if it’s working?
January 3rd, 2010 at 4:12 am
Hello Peter,
I have deactivated all plugins and it still did not solve the issue…
We also tried it with the other admin account we have but that did not help either.
January 4th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
That’s really weird. Have you tried reinstalling CubePoints? (i.e., deactivate, remove, then reupload)
Have you also tried upgrading to 2.9? The plugin is indeed tested on 2.8.*, but that is the only solution I can think of right now. Or, try setting up a brand new 2.8.6 on your server with CP 2.1 to see if it works. That way we can see if it’s a server problem or not.

I am using cubepoints and have set up a point store where users can buy things. When they buy things, points are deducted but that does not show up on the log. Because of this, I don’t know what people hav e bought. Is there a php code that adds to the log?
January 5th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Yes, use tis code:
cp_log($type, $uid, $points, $source);January 6th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
Are there any plans to add the ability to award points for sharing a piece of content via Email, Twitter, Digg, or Facebook?
January 8th, 2010 at 4:42 am
Is it possible to have the Top author widget links to author pages. I would like to link the top 5 authors archives…
How could I do that ?
Best regards, and thanks for a great plugin..
Brian
January 8th, 2010 at 4:56 am
Brian: Edit line 296 of cubepoints.php. Let me know if you need more help with this. (:
January 8th, 2010 at 5:00 am
$content=str_replace($count[0][$id],cp_topPointsDisplay((int)$num,1),$content);
I’m not quite sure how to replace that … ?!
Are you sure its line 296.. ?
I had guessed it was more around line 279… ?!
January 8th, 2010 at 10:53 am
Sorry, line 296 is for version 2.0.
Yes its in line 279 in the latest version of CP.
I can’t get the code to display properly in the comments here.
They’re in pastebin: http://cubepoints.pastebin.com/m45f25c87
January 8th, 2010 at 11:31 am
I was wondering if there were plans to implement a way to give all your users a set amount of points at the same time? For right now there is a “Reset All Points” and altering poitns as an admin is on an individual basis… will there be a way to say… add one point to all users?
Thanks.

Steven: Nop, not at the moment.

Looking to put a code instead of using widgets on my site since it’s pretty much a coded site, and using widgets don’t show up. but I’d like to have something where users can donate points to each other.
January 14th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
@Dave: We already have that feature where users can donate points. As for putting a code instead of using widgets, you may refer to the documentations for more details.
January 14th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
The link to trigger the donate box is as follows:
http://pastebin.com/m10a50c04
*userid* is where you input the user id. You may replace < ?php echo PLUGIN_DIR; ?> to be *yourblog*/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints
January 15th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
<a href="’cp_donate.php?d=1&u=*userid*&width=500&height=200″ title=”CubePoints – Donate” class=”thickbox”>Donate Points
where do i put that directory?
http://www.youarethescene.net/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints
that’s where it’s at.
<a href="’cp_donate.php?d=1&u=*userid*&width=500&height=200″ title=”CubePoints – Donate” class=”thickbox”>Donate Points
Would it be like that?
January 16th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
So it will be something like this: http://pastebin.com/m3f99613b

I am using WPMU with Buddypress and I have been using an older version of Cubepoints. I updated to day and it all work! YEAH… All but my widget on the side that says who has the most points. This is the error I get. Can any help me out here. Seeing who is ahead really is a motivating factor for my clients. Thanks much. My site is: http://www.thirdfloorgamers.com
Here is the error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/thirdflo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/cubepoints.php on line 276
January 18th, 2010 at 1:45 am
@Matera: I just sent you an email on what you can provide me to help you with this issues. (:
January 19th, 2010 at 1:01 am
Hi guys! Again, thanks for this wonderful plugin. Do you have an idea about when the shopping card module becomes available? Have you started programming it?
Have a great day.
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:30 pm
Check this out! Great progress integrating CubePoints with the Simple Press Forum Plugin – http://simplepressforum.com/support-forum/spf-version-4/integrating-cubepoints-into-simplepress-40/
Still tinkering, but giving points for a new topic is working!
January 25th, 2010 at 3:00 am
Hi,
thanks for the nice plugin!
Pls excuse me if I have missed something, but is there any way to receive a confirmation email (may be from the blog’s admin) once someone has donated his points?
January 25th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
I am excited about this plugin. As a teacher this could be used as a motivational tool for my students. It looks like in December of 2008 there was mention of being able to use points with another plugin like quizzin. Is this still a consideration, or is it possible to do now? Thanks
January 27th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I’m loving everything about this plugin so far. Awesome job.
My feature request? Levels.
They would work the same way as ranks (reach certain point amount, gain the next level).
Even though it’s pretty much the same as ranks, there are some significant differences.
Suppose I want to put a “level cap” World of Warcraft style, on the point system? So at first they can only reach level 30. Later on I can make the big announcement “Levels caps will be raised by 10 soon!” It’s fun, suspenseful, and allows for you to have a shit ton of levels rather than having to make up a new name for every single rank.
January 29th, 2010 at 12:17 am
How do you guys use the points on your site other than bragging rights? Do you use it in a contest somehow?
One thought one of my members had was:
One thought I had is when we hold contests/giveaways. You have to spend some of your points when you win the item.
What are your ideas?
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:24 am
Hey,
is there any way to make it able to get points (Cubepoints) by posting in the simple:pressforum ?
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:53 pm
And second question: Is there a possibility to install some kind of …. invitesystem? Users invite their friends to register and then get points for that?
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:04 pm
“And second question: Is there a possibility to install some kind of …. invitesystem? Users invite their friends to register and then get points for that?”
I would pay for this feature!
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:07 pm
Simple:Press Forum integration can be found here: http://simplepressforum.com/support-forum/spf-version-4/integrating-cubepoints-into-simplepress-40/
I am seeing some really nice feature requests here, but unfortunately, both of us have no time until at least a week later. I’ll keep all these requests in mind, but a new version might not come soon. Sorry :(
February 4th, 2010 at 3:06 am
Hi, thanks for the great plugin, but I’m having one slight problem.
Although the German language file is located in the folder (I didn’t change anything), the default language is still active.
What am I doing wrong?
February 6th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
@Peter Zhang: And what’s with the invitation system? So people who invite other users to my website get Cubepoints for doing that.. do you understand what i mean? This would be pretty cool..
February 6th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
And what I forgot to mention: Is there a way to limit the points a user can get per day? So that he can still post comments and stuff but won’t get any points for that anymore untill the next day? Thanks
February 7th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
This is truly a fantastic plugin! Is there any way to integrate this plugin with the Affiliate Plus plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/affiliate-plus/)so that people can receive points for referring people to a site?
February 11th, 2010 at 7:59 am
Hey im having a bit of an issue. When you click on the user name the user info does not load. Please take a look. http://vuzeum.com/. please scroll all the way to the bottom to see the cubepoints system.
February 12th, 2010 at 12:55 am
@Micael: I would need your FTP info to be able to solve this problem (: You can email it to me.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
@Jonathan Lau: I also have the same problem as Micael. Is there any way for me to solve it on my own?
February 16th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
It looks like its looking for the load animation under http://www.example.com/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif
I have my WP-directory installed under http://www.example.com/wp/ so its looking in the wrong directory. I’ve yet to look through the code, but where can i find that code to change it?
February 18th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Thanks for a wonderful plugin! I was wondering if there’s a way to change the term ‘CubePoints’ shown to perhaps my own term?
Also for multi-user blog like mine, the main menu for non-admin user when clicked goes to an error page. The submenu (My Points) is fine tho.
Regards,
Daryl
February 18th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
@Daryl: Which “CubePoints” do you want to change? The one in the title of about dialogs and donate dialogs? Look in line 320 and 330 of cubepoints.php
Non-admin users are not supposed to be able to view those admin pages.
@Martin: That’s weird. The link should be relative to the blog url you’ve set in WordPress Admin Panel. But, if you want a quick fix, look in line 370 and 371 of cubepoints.php
February 19th, 2010 at 12:50 am
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Well actually if you go to my site right at the bottom on the mid sidebar, you can see the top 10 author ranking. When you click on any of the authors, it will pop up their respective stats and the title is ‘CubePoints – About’.
When my authors (contributors) login, they are able to see ‘CubePoint’ on the menu. The submenu which is ‘My Points’ works perfectly but the main menu when clicked shows error. In my admin menu, that link actually points to manage CubePoints.
Cheers!
February 21st, 2010 at 6:20 am
I don’t see where I can control the points or $ amount.
February 21st, 2010 at 9:55 am
@Daryl: Yup, line 320 and 330 of cubepoints.php are the ones you’d want to change. I’ll fix that problem in the upcoming release.
@Jeannie: Under your admin panel, there is a section called “CubePoints”, and the settings are located under “Config”
February 21st, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Do users have to be registered to use Cube or can they just be loggin in? I know with my blog that will deter new users and I will not be able to use it.
February 21st, 2010 at 10:05 pm
Nope, they only need to be logged in to your site.
February 22nd, 2010 at 1:27 am
Thanks so much Peter!
February 22nd, 2010 at 1:32 am
Dear Peter,
I found this in line 320 and 330:
320 $fpoints = cp_getPoints($uid);
330 } else {
What do I change these to? Sorry I am not a programmer :p
February 22nd, 2010 at 6:44 am
Are you sure you have the latest version?
Search for cp_addDonateLink and cp_addAboutLink, and you should see a large bunch of text starting from $content .=, and you should find “CubePoints – ” there.
February 22nd, 2010 at 11:50 am
Thanks Peter.. that did the trick. I am using 2.1.1 btw just for your info.
February 22nd, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Hello Peter,
I absolutely love this WordPress plug-in, it’s perfect and I had no problems getting it to work, set up in less than 5 minutes! Thank you again for such an amazing plug-in.

Thank you for amazing plugin.Can you help with my little problem?I want show image rank on my template but I don’t now what I must add.I found fuction for rank and work(showing) in template but for image rank don’t work.
February 26th, 2010 at 3:12 am
Awesome plugin, is it possible that you can show a little window when the points are given and the reason, so the user knows how he earned those points?
February 27th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
:( whenever i try and activate the plugin using a classifieds theme it wont activate saying fatal error! It activates fine on the default wordpress theme. Is there any code I can enter into the specialised theme to make it work and activate properly.
February 27th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
@beck: Which theme is this? What was the error? Do you know any sensitive things that might have caused the error to cause in the theme?
February 27th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
The theme I am using is classifiedtheme… http://www.classifiedstheme.com. At first I tried uninstalling all other plugins and trying to activate whilst using this theme however even that didn’t work and the cubepoints plugin wouldn’t activate at all….The browser url comes up as this after clicking activate: http://xxxxxxxx/wp-admin/plugins.php?error=true&plugin=cubepoints%2Fcubepoints.php&_error_nonce=09ad284cdf
and the little yellow wordpress error box comes up saying this…
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
March 1st, 2010 at 10:55 pm
Users can’t see points and points are not being collected. Also do the users have to be registered in order to collect points?
I have a huge mess on my hands right now.
http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog
March 1st, 2010 at 10:57 pm
Users need to be registered on your blog to collect points.
March 1st, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Well, the registered users are not able to display or collect points either. WHat gives?

I’m still trying to figure out how to call the top users using php. Any help?
March 9th, 2010 at 2:05 am
I’m just getting this setup and configured for my buddypress based community site. Trying out the widgets and seeing how I can make things work, so far so good. How do I go about getting my developers to make modules and customize things to do more?
March 9th, 2010 at 2:08 am
Well it doesn’t look like any of the widgets want to display properly on my buddypress site. This will probably take a lot of work to get working, but I don’t mind that since the other option is starting from scratch.
March 9th, 2010 at 2:10 am
Buddypress is not yet officially supported D:
This explains why you are facing some problems with the plugin.
March 9th, 2010 at 3:24 am
Yes, I figured that would be the case.
It’s showing the user’s balance fine in the one widget, but the top earners or whatever it’s called widget comes up with a php error.
I need to get some more stuff built into it and my site before it will really matter, cause I need to setup some pay/rate sheets for other tasks, like writing articles or performing link building for clients… Which then warrant payments in our site’s currency… Etc… which brings me to the next, payout rate… and members having a method to request a paypal payment when they reach x earnings…
March 9th, 2010 at 10:01 am
Hi!
Neat plugin!
I’ve tried to scan the whole thread for clues, but is it possible to award users points for simply viewing a post? And prevent him from getting points from visiting the same post? My site is top-down, and wouldn’t necessarily have any users commenting or posting.
Thks
