Ultimate Points Mod Support (Modzzz) - part 7

Ummm, houston we have a problem...

This is on a clean installation. Any thoughts (and quickly) so I can install the mod are appreciated.

Please re-upload the modules/modzzz/point/install folder.

I did and it installed fine. Going thru the set up for all other modules and will begin testing it out and comparing the functionality to before. Thanks again

I think an important issue that was discussed at length may still be there.

The issue is that if I have memberships that are only "assigned" by admin (not sold or auto-membership set) they get over ridden by lower memberships that the points trigger.

Let me explain again with a real site example

Level 1 Member - $1 or 1 point auto-membership

Level 2 Member - $5 or 100 points auto-membership to auto upgrade to this one

Level 3 Member $25 or 500 points to auto-membership up

Level 4 (Elite) Member $40 (no set auto membership points)

Level 5 - no dollar amount or points since its a sponsorship or special assigned membership only given by administration

Anyone I've set as a Level 5 has their membership downgraded when their points hit 1 point to a Level 1 Membership.

As discussed before the only auto-membership triggers should be upwards and with those that we include in your auto-membership screen (assigning points to trigger it)

Let me know if I'm missing something.

Thanks

Definitely still doing this serious problem that we discussed at length months ago. I even added the top memberships to the auto-memberships with maxed points allowed but the membership still reverts to the lowest one the moment the points hit that threshold.

So say I assign the top membership to a member. Their points are zero. The moment it gets a point the membership "downgrades" to the lowest auto-membership level.

The only element that should go up/down with the membership levels (

(prophet/rock star/sophomore/bouncer, etc in your default levels) 

Need this corrected IMMEDIATELY.

The example you provided is not a clear cut case of "downgrading". It is not logical to consider moving from a "free" membership level to a "paid" membership level as "downgrading". Dolphin has no functionality to flag membership levels based on significance so the only trigger I can use a developer is the pricing. In the example you provided, you know that membership 5 is of higher priority because you desire it to be so but there is nothing in the underlying data stored that says that. Another site owner could very well use unpaid membership levels as intermediate memberships between Standard and Paid levels and so this would be a case of "upgrading" for them. What I could possibly do is put a flag in the setting to omit unpaid levels.

An update has been made so that members with membership levels that are not configured in Auto Membership (except Standard and Promotion) are omitted from the Auto Membership Upgrade process. The following file is updated : modules/modzzz/point/classes/BxPointDb.php

Much thanks. I was messing around with the issue and the only way I could make it work was to turn off points earning on memberships that I assigned manually.

Your solutions is much better and allows those members to still participate and earn points.

One question, I noticed you removed the progress bar on the membership levels. Was this by design or an oversight?

One shortcoming is the member has no idea when they'll hit the next milestone so it diminishes the incentive to do so by activity or purchasing points.

@neotekcorp - There are some conditions that must be met before the progress bar is shown. Please verify if all have been met :

1) The 'Points Level feature turned on' option must be activated in the module settings

2) The present point level of the member must be purchaseable

3) The present point level of the member must not be the highest level

 Are you sure the standard membership is not affected? I've set this up to auto-membership upgrade like I had things before. However I never use Standard. I set the lowest membership to be auto-upgraded to with 1 point received. This worked fine prior so right when a person joined (points set for that) his membership bumped up to first custom membership.

It isn't working this way any more. I've tried three new test profiles and they all stay at Standard membership, even when they've got plenty of points to trigger the upgrade.

@neotekcorp - Do you have the following setting activated ... "Allow Members To Turn On/Off Auto Membership" ?

If so, have you ensured that those Profiles have the "Allow Auto-Membership upgrade by Points" Profile field activated ?

I've got the Allow Members option turned off and the profile field is not active. But auto-membership is active.

However, I've reinstalled it twice and it never gets off of Standard membership. I've got my first level membership set to "auto-membership" at 1 point so it should trigger with the joining. I've confirmed the points after just joining were at 10 but it was still at Standard.

Hi,

Did something change in the new version for " Use Points To Purchase Membership  "function?

I clicked the box to allow that from admin, but I keep getting the error: MEMBERSHIP PURCHASE WITH POINTS IS NOT AVAILABLE

It does that with or without auto-membership being activated.

I can't compare on the demo site as you still have an old version installed.

Thanks!

@brunel - Two conditions are necessary for that functionality :

1) Dolphin Membership module must be installed

2) 'Use Points to purchase membership' option must be activated in the Settings

Working now. Thanks!

An important update has been made. Please re-upload modules/modzzz/point/classes/BxPointDb.php  

The specific update is made to the getActionValue function  (line 505-518) 

I had to uninstall the points module. I have this module for several years. The problem is that the tables of the module have become very large and when visiting the profile of a user, the mysql queries took a total of 6 seconds to execute. It is an important mistake, because my users have paid for those points.

Hi Dear Modzzz,

When adding points to the shopping card, it shows like this: Points Purchase (10000) - 10 USDfree

Note: There is the word "free" that displays next to the currency code. That only occurs when buying points. It doesn't occurs when buying any other item like credits, memberships etc.

How and where to remove the word "free" next to USD in the shopping card when buying points.

Clue: I think that it has something to do with this code found here: /modules/boonex/payment/templates/base/cart.html

[code]<a href="__item_url__">__item_title__</a> (__item_quantity__) - <bx_if:show_price_paid>__item_price__ __vendor_currency_code__</bx_if:show_price_paid><bx_if:show_price_free><bx_text:_payment_txt_free /></bx_if:show_price_free>[/code]

Thanks in advance for a solution.

Regards.

Any fix?

@DigitZup - I am as busy as a bee trying to update 300+ modules to Dolphin 7.4. Consequently, when you report an issue on a particular module, it will take some time for me to get to it unless it is a critical issue that has totally break your site. Kindly wait until I can address the individual minor issues that you have posted for respective modules.

Regarding this particular issue, I need site admin access to investigate.

Hi Dear Jerome,

Thanks for you reply. Having no response from you for a while in some of my other posts made me start worring a bit as we completely rely on your great and outstanding mods. I've thought that, you too, you have just given up on Dolphin. But nice to read from you. I feel reassured again, speacially knowing that you are upgrading Mods to Dolphin 7.4. That was one of my concerns too. Thank you sooooo much for your nice work and for standing behind your products.

There are many small issues that I have found in several mods, many of them are minor issues. Ok I will wait and report then later gradually.

Regards

I made an update to the Dolphin 7.4.2 upgrade on May 24th. If you download before, please re-apply the update to your site.

Dolphin 7.4 version has been updated. Kindly re-upload the files.
