integration with other cashmods.

[lqd]

Dear Dragonbyte tech dude,

I want to integrate vbactivity with for example ucash and points market, these mods can have the option to define the points field, can I use the points field in vbactivity for this?

This is the discription of uCash:

[B]Points Data Location[/B]
This setting controls what database table and field are used by uCash. Separate table name from field by a period. "TP." 
(case sensitive) at the beginning adds the vBulletin table prefix, only remove it if you are using a non-vBulletin table.
-Do not touch this setting if you are unsure.-

Example/Default: TP.user.ucash

Or even better, can I edit files to define the points field in vbActivity?

Please let me know.... thank you!

I believe at the moment designating uCash to the vBActivity points field would result in some unwelcome problems. The reason for this is at the moment vBActivity tracks additions and subtractions to points, and with its many calculations to generate daily/weekly/montly targets these tracked logs are required, these logs are also used to "rebuild points".

So, if you hooked vBActivity up as it stands now, people would spend points - but a rebuild would send them straight back. All we'd need to do is have uCash insert logs into our database so that didn't happen - but I'll leave that upto Fillip H.

vBActivity points are not supposed to be "spendable", people will lose Activity Level if they lose points, and other unknown behaviour might occur.

This is entirely unsupported, but you can change the points field in the cash mod to dbtech_vbactivity_points.
