CubePoints Buddypress Integration

Description

Adds CubePoints support to Buddypress. Reward members using your BuddyPress portion of your website by giving them points and awards! IMPORTANT: You will need to install CubePoints (at least version 3.0.1) first.

Integrates with the CubePoints Giveaway & Betting System

See full details on how the system works and how to get it here. But a brief overview is you can setup a giveaway where your members can enter a giveaway using points. They can get extra entries in the giveaway for sharing it on Twitter, Google+, Facebook and a few other ways and earn points for it!

There is a built in betting system so your members can bet their points against each other. If you have this system installed it displays the number of lotteries or bets they have not entered, in the top BuddyPress admin bar.

FAQ

I can not see the admin menu

Do not activate the plugin sitewide.

Members not getting points for joining a private group

It only support giving points for joining public groups at the moment.

Members not getting awards or points for group avatar update for hidden groups

It only tracks public and private groups.

Member not getting points for Group Avatar Upload

After the group is created go to the admin of the created group and go to the group avatar page to get points.

Did you create CubePoints?

No I did not create CubePoints, this is just an extension of it. Jonathan Lau and Peter Zhang created it.

Can I change the point values?

Yes, just update the point values in the BP CubePoints admin menu. To remove points enter a negative number.

When I create a Group Forum Topic it gives them points twice.

BuddyPress calls 2 functions when creating a forum topic. So think of how much you want to give them total for creating a new topic and adjust the points accordingly in the BP CubePoints admin menu.
