How to make a alphauserpoints rule linked with flexicontent

Hi,
i'm using alphauserpoints and flexicontent.
I would like to have a AUP'rule that give points to a user when he's submiting an article. AUP do it but only with the joomla core submit form.
Is there anyone who know how to modify the AUP rule in order to take in consideration flexicontent? (or made a new one)

Thank you

maybe in code a plugin ...
but i am not a dev sorry i can't help you :oops:

Hi,

Alphauserspoints explain how to create a rule. We have to add the code below under the code which do the action we want to generate points.
But in flexicontent, where is the code (which file and which part of it) which manage the fact to submit a content and add it to the database.
Anyone as a clue?

$api_AUP = JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_alphauserpoints'.DS.'helper.php';
if ( file_exists($api_AUP))
{
require_once ($api_AUP);
AlphaUserPointsHelper::newpoints( 'nom_de_la_fonction' );
}

You can try changing the system plugin alphauserpoints.php

Goto to line 152 of file:
/plugins/system/alphauserpoints.php

Replace: with:
UPDATE 8 July 2011: The same code appears twice in this file you can change it twice if you want (second appearance is for saving existent article)

Because other basic post/url variables like task,id,title are the same, it should work.

Note that i dont have alphauserpoints installed to test this. Tell me if it worked.

This change should add points when a new article is submit through flexicontent submit form

UPDATE 8 July 2011: Please see a following post of mine for more modifications.

Regards

your are a great source of help !!!
thanks

Big thanks on the nice easy fix ggppdk. This worked perfectly.

Here i write all modifications needed for (hopefully) all rules related to flexicontent:

In file:
plugins/system/alphauserpoints.php

replace all lines: with
THE above was a system plugin, bellow are content plugins:
BEWARE: Content plugins can triggered on multiple FlexiContent Fields.
Be sure to set the following content plugins to trigger ONLY for the item description (or only for only one flexicontent field??)

In version 1.5.6 final the following modifications for "view" are will not be needed,
and maybe, it will not be needed for "option" too.

In file:
plugins/content/sysplgaup_reader2author.php

replace lines 48-49:
and lines 120-123 with
In file:
plugins/content/sysplgaup_content.php

replace lines 73-76: with

Thanks a lot ggppdk!
Now a user get some points when he's submitting an article with flexicontent thanks to the modification in "plugins/system/alphauserpoints.php"

But i didn't get what the modifications in "plugins/content/sysplgaup_reader2author.php" and in
"plugins/content/sysplgaup_content.php" are doing. Could you explain it to me please?

I also would like that a registered user earns some points when he's voting an article thanks to the flexicontent voting field. I changed "if ( ( $option=='com_content'" by "if ( ( $option=='com_content' || $option=='com_flexicontent')" in "plugins/system/alphauserpoints.php" on the line 145 (vote an article) but it's not working. Do you have a clue?

Again, thanks a lot.

About: sysplgaup_reader2author.php
This plugin for AlphaUserPoints assign x points to author when the article is read by any user ...

Points for voting will not work just by changing that line because votes are entered on different tables with fc, and it is not possible for me to tell what to change without installing and doing significant amount of work. Possible a new joomla plugin is needed that will detect sucessful votes and then call the alphauserpoints framework to add the points ...

Hello, you would know how to apply the same changes for FLEXIcontent V 2.0 RC5 r1273 and AlphaUserPoints 1.7.2 for joomla 2.5
Because we would really appreciate reading an article reports points to our members, but even with enabled plugins on the description field nothing happens

Sorry for my english
