Rewards Application
The Rewards Aplication allows you, as the Admin, to allocate points for activity on your social network, and create a frenzy of activity in the process.
You can tailor the points spread for your site, create "awards" for people who get to different points levels, and display this on the front page of your site and on the user's profile pages, and a dedicated "leaderboard" as well.
ADMIN
Go to /mods/rewards/admin to view your Admin panel, this page has a variety of options to choose from:
Admin Panel
=============================
Setup points: Allocate what each action (eg video creation) is worth to tailor the rewards to your needs.
Calculate points: Calculate points and assign awards for all your users. Note this does 100 users at a time, so if you have a LOT of users, it will take a while to go through them.
Remove points: Remove all the points for your users.
Create Awards: Create new awards for your users, so that you can assign "levels" to different point levels.
Edit Awards: View and edit awards.
Setting it up - the steps
=======================================
The setup involves the following steps:
1. setup points and assign them for your network
2. create awards
3. calculate points
4. add to front page and user's My Page
UPDATE 2 April 2009
At Ningmods, we've been busy radically improving the Rewards Application - becaue you aked for it! We've done what we can to include everything possible, and thus turned a simple application into a sophisticated rewards system.
Last Months Activity
We track the activity over the last month, calculate points for this at the same time as calculating overall awards, and these can be displayed on a standalone leaderboard, available at /mods/rewards/leaderboard?display=month.
Add points manually
You can now amend a user's points manually. This will impact only the "overall" points and wont impact on the monthly points award.
Points for joining and inviting
You can now include points for users joining the site, and the user for each member they have invited.
LeaderBoard Flexibility
Through the leaderboard admin page, you can now
- control the number of users that get displayed, down from 100
- add text to the top of the page
- add text to the bottom of the page
- choose whether you want the "my ranking" at the top, or not.
Detailed information
The leaderboard has links beneath each user, one of which a hyperlink with award name. Clicking on this will show all winners of that award, ordered by points. On this page you can see all the awards at the top of the page, and clicking on those will show the winners of that award off that page.
Bug Fixes
We fixed the bugs that you helped to find:
- The awards display in point order
- The rankings and points are no consisitent across all views
- The awards are allocated properly and consistently
Future Improvements
Adding rewards points onto all profile pages.
SHOW AWARDS ON FRONT PAGE
-------------------------------------------------
To show the awards on the front page, go to Manage -> Analytics and paste in this code, bearing in mind the first script only needs to be called once - its the JQuery library that controls everything. If you have already included this from another Mod then dont bother with doing it again!
<script type="text/javascript" src ="/mods/jquery/131"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src ="/mods/rewards/js"></script>
The next step is to add a text box to your front page and add the appropriate div tag to it. So go to Manage->Add Features, and add a Text Box onto your front page.
Within the text box, add in the following lines of code:
<div id="ningmods_rewards_mypoints"></div>
<div id="ningmods_rewards_points"></div>
The first line will display a summary for the user of their points, you can leave this out if you wish. The second line shows the top 10 spots on the Leaderboard.
SHOW AWARDS ON USER PROFILES
To show the awards on the user's My Page, go to Manage -> Analytics and paste in this code, bearing in mind the first script only needs to be called once - its the JQuery library that controls everything. If you have already included this from another Mod then dont bother with doing it again!
<script type="text/javascript" src ="/mods/jquery/131"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src ="/mods/rewards/mypagejs"></script>
This will now automatically add a Rewards Points Summary on the User's Profile, below their picture and activity summary!
You can tailor the points spread for your site, create "awards" for people who get to different points levels, and display this on the front page of your site and on the user's profile pages, and a dedicated "leaderboard" as well.
