RE: [Envolution-devel] What are your thoughts on User Point's module?

[Burke <bu...@di...>]

Regarding plugin for Arena - I let the "Karma" aka "User Points" sit at
the bottom of my site.  The phpbb14 plugin works just fine since Arena
is just a fork of phpbb14.  An overhaul would be nice, my site is quite
slow on the traffic and load side so I don't know much about the poor
performance from that aspect.  However, my only main gripe about the
block is having to hit the "update" link to refresh the stats displayed.

Subject: [Envolution-devel] What are your thoughts on User Point's
module?

There hasn't been much activity about the User Point's module in quite
somee time. However from time to time there are a few posts about it
over at portalzine.de

Seems this module Brian authored is still kinda popular.

I even have a polish translation submitted by a member a long time ago
that we never got around to including since we didn't have a full Polish
translation for Envolution.

User Point's module will needs some updating and fine tuning to
modernize it as it pretty much fell stagnate back around the Envo 1.0
stage.

Maybe this module is due for an overhaul.

Some of the problems with the module in general is it's ability to scale
with large sites. The more members you have the more resources rewuired
to keep the point standings sync'd and accurate.

It also needs a plugin written for it for the Arena forum. That really
isn't that hard to do.

So what are your thoughts on this module?
