Coments Points

I usually don't like to ask many questions. I like to figure it out myself and see what makes this thing tick but....


This one I have yet to figure out or understand. Maybe I've missed a post or somthing.


I am really wondering about the Comments Points a member can apply. A member can choose + or - but I have yet to see where they actually show up in ones page, whether it be in their profile or member account or anywhere else.


The only think I am really seeing it in is the post or comment itself. I see a + or - for a comment, but honestly how am I to determine if they have -50 or +50?


Unless I am seriously missing somthing, which I am just beginning to play with this point system. But anyone else care to chip in on this I am definitely all ears on this one.


Thanks.

Ok I am going to reply to my own topic/thread just to get this to pop up again and so it don't get burried or lost forever. Although I am very fluent and knowledgeable with dolphin this one escapes my mind and I am not sure what it's intent is other than a quick glance and you can see member johnny has a minus for a simple comment, but how or where to track member johnny's overall points?

This one kind of seems uesless. If they don't track anyone fully what is the point of the ponts and the wasted time and icons of ones comments. I just don't get why this is included if it really don't do much.

Could this be what you are frizzin about?

I just gave myself a point for one of my posts.  That is kind of weird- doesn't that make the system more or less useless?

Hi Caltrade,

I sent you a pm asking how you got dolphin member join to work for a business format. I would like to do the same thing. Did you purchase a mod or do it yourself? Boonex would own the market if there was a business platform in addition to the dating platform.

Yes, I noticed that also....

You shouldn't be able to "rate" your own comments.

Actvion,

Sorry about the slow response, but you made a good point "Boonex would own the market if there was a business platform in addition to the dating platform." It can be done - at least I think it can, but it is a real pain - mostly involves removing stuff - details like the little heart icon in the actions menu under "faves" and all the age and sex stuff.  The Ray widgets are especially problemsome.  One workaround is to have a section in your join form called "Social Information" with that stuff, and make it clear that it is optional- that way when it shows up at least it doesn't look totally out of place.  We should make a checklist of everything needed to make it a business platform and post it someplace.  I just dropped you a note with my contact info- lets compare notes sometime.

Irepton,

Also, someone who doesn't like you could just run around docking you points.  It doesn't seem like they thought this one through.

I'm not referring to boonex unity point system here. It works well here, and I am plenty happy with it here, other than the potential for one to register a bunch of accounts and hit somone with postives or negatives.


What I am really referring to is a dolphin site 6.1.4 or similar. After a comment is left whether it be a profile comment, blog comment, audio, video, etc. comment. One can give the member a plus/minus. You can see this, however I don't see anywhere that the overall members points are reflected in their account on a dolphin site. So either the point system is pointless or I am missing something.


Sure it's obvious that someone gave them a plus/minus in the coments but where does the total points display in dolphin?


That's all I am wondering about. Like I said I haven't messed with this whole point system much, but I am currious what the whole concept or idea is behind it if there isn't a total/tally somewhere?

Your not missing anything. Theres nothing written to pullout data from CmtsTrack as here

There are mods out there that promotes and I assume will display the points.

But there is no screen shot.  You'll end up spending nearly 100 or more to get these.

This is another one of those things that I do not believe should be charged for. Much like the age versus date of birth mod. It seems like it is soemthing that boonex has been half finished. What I mean is they have such features but never fully integrate them into other aspects.  Even phpbb has a FREE points calculation system that can be viewed on the member's profile.  The points then can trigger other options.  To me this is one of the major draw backs to the boonex software system.

I am going to get on my soap box for a second.

BoonEx is all about uniting people. We want people to collaborate in reaching global and personal goals. We believe that entire world can be turned into a compassionate, humane and caring community. BoonEx can do it. BoonEx does it.

This is a big, global mission, which was very difficult to achieve in the past, but now we are in the age of global information exchange, age of Internet; and we now have truly effective tools to establish common values and change the world.

BoonEx is created to be in the forward motion of this initiative. By creating online communities and providing community software to like-minded people we bring people closer - we teach them to be friends again, en masse.

Moreover, BoonEx builds and powers communities on all stages - we build community sites; we give out community software; we create a community of community sites' webmasters; and we are a community ourselves.

Global community just can't be bad, by definition. United world can safe the Earth, can stop wars, and can heal itself.

You also have an opportunity to be a part of our noble mission by making a contribution. Your contribution (any kind of contribution: donations, elaborations, etc.) will help us to develop and improve our products. By making a contribution you become a member of the big "Unite People" movement. You come first and we acknowledge you as our front row co-fighter!

If WE are the COMMUNITY and WE engage in the INFORMATION EXCHANGE.... Why be selfish and charge for the advancement of BoonEx. I'm not talking about the product itself. Because you purchase to remove links not for additional feature. The best way to develope and progress a GREAT CMS is to have a great COMMUNITY of FREE TRADE through GNU. So that individuals in the community can educate, learn, share ideas, code, evaluate, and develop together. Look at phpbb or phpnuke. The majority of the communities do not charge for the further development of anything and more features than many people could ever dream of; including 1000s of FREE templates!

Capitalism does not bring UNITY it brings separation among classes of peoples. If this site wants to become world renouned... it will have to be a UNITED effort among all peoples versus a SELECT class of INDIVIDUALS.

I think this software has so much potential, but such potential is limited. This software is one of the sleekest and professional out there. But, it could be so much more.

Now, let the creechs bashing commense =).

one more comment. Such collaboration among developers both Boonex affiliated or thos that are pro se, will make upgrades happen more smoothly and will streamline upgrades so that minimal disruption occurs.

No bashing here  .....   agree 200%!

You should ought to put it in your blog also  ..... 
.

 Lol, I did right after i had posted it here.  With additional comments at the beginning of it... to make it more blog appropriate.
