User Stats & Socializing

[Marked 197]

Over the past few days I have been working on a new website component. To build on the last announcement, Re-Integration, this component shows what we can do with the integration.

 

The User Stats component is a fully integrated component using the websites framework and our own website-forum bridge. It contains stats for your topics, polls, posts, profile, reputation and posts. The reason I have been working on it for three days is because, believe it or not, it has over 800 lines of code and nearly 200 variables. So I hope you guys enjoy it.

This was mainly written for the regular members. New members aren't going to get a lot from it as it's going to change until they get a decent few posts under their belt.

 

I was also going to do stats for the blogs, downloads and gallery, but it takes so long to write that I thought I would just post it now and build on it later if you guys like it. I would also like to hear suggestions about what kind of stats that you want to see about your account, and I'll try and add them in here. And please report any bugs you find, I only tested it with a few accounts.

 

I am also going to (once i recover from writing this) create a hall of fame stats section where it shows the members with the highest stats. Posts, profile views, downloads, gallery views, most helpful member, etc. All the good stuff.

 

RMXP Unlimited Dev Blog

I have started writing in my Blog about what RMXPUnlimited development. This topic is actually from a blog entry. There's a few things going on. At times of low activity I tend to do a lot more, I suppose its an incentive. I will also add questions and throw around ideas in the entries for you guys to comment on.

RMXP Unlimited going Social

The icons in the top-right corner of the website all finally work

Twitter

Youtube

RSS

We've had youtube for a while now, and going to try twitter. I don't have high hopes for it though, but I'm thinking of having a module on the homepage that shows twitter entries. Just another way to keep users up to date with RMXPU happenings. We'll just see what happens.

 

Lastly, there is new feature of the website login module, Post Integrity:

It can also be called points per post, but I prefer my subliminal messaged title. :)

Here's the explanation of it from the Points page(you can go there by clicking that question mark beside it):

What is Post Integrity?

 

Post Integrity is a number, between 0 and 10, calculated from a formula to give your average points earned per post. The formula is: (Total Points) divided by (Total Posts) starting from 28 August 2009. The points system was installed approximately on the 28th of August 2009, so we count your posts since that date(for those who were active on the forums before the points system was installed).

 

Oh yeah, and I'll get the voted smilies up soon. As well as a super cool advanced bbcode to replace the boxes and a bunch more. Check the blog for more... :)

Thanks guys, glad you like them. Though the topic is mainly about the User Stats component, it really took some time to create.

Is there a way to show others our stats page?

Awesome news! Now we have a YouTube page! RMXP Unlimited is the future of the RPG Maker community.

Not at this time, but I think I may be able to create that. What exactly did you have in mind? My initial thought was on the stats have a field where you can enter the members ID and then it loads up their stats. Every single stat on the page is basically a SQL query using the members ID. But some of those queries are very advanced, I learned a heck of a lot making this. My only issue with this is that some members may feel like it's their private information. For example, who reps you the most, who do you rep the most. Do you really want everyone knowing that information? I'm not sure, but I think some members may feel like thats an invasion of privacy, and may even alter the actions as a result(for example, not use the rep system altogether).

Yep we've had the youtube channel for some time now. I want to add a lot more content to it though. I'd like to give out the login details to the staff members, but I'm not sure any would use it. I plan to look for more staff and build a solid staff base in 2010. I don't know about being the future of the RM community, we're way way down the list, but I still have a lot of plans yet.
