@mandejp,

Thank you for contacting us, please share the screenshot of your frontend and backend. It will help us in identifying the issue.

Thanks for contacting.
I create a search bar on the homepage menu using the code above.
This is the search box on the menu. https://imgur.com/42c2HVr
I want when member search any on that frame there will be points.

@mandejp,

You can use add_creds() function to reward users points on different events. For reference, you can check this doc link https://codex.mycred.me/chapter-v/playing-with-balances/

I added by this way but not working.

<form role="search" class="search search-form" mycred_link href="https://google.com/" action="https://google.com/" method="GET">
	<label>
		<span class="screen-reader-text"><?php esc_html_e( 'Search for', 'oke' ) . ':'; ?></span>

I also tried with this, but also not able to automatically add points to the user every time they search in the search bar

<form role="search" class="search search-form" action="https://google.com/" method="GET" mycred_add( 'reference', $user_id, 1, 'Points for search!' );>
	<label>
		<span class="screen-reader-text"><?php esc_html_e( 'Search for', 'oke' ) . ':'; ?></span>

@mandejp,

The function where you are adding this code you can use some add_action to reward user points using add_creds() function.

Can you send me the code that I can apply? Thank you.

@mandejp,

Use any action hook where the user is searching.

add_action('your_action', 'your_action_func');

function your_action_func() {

$mycred->add_creds(
    'reference',
    $user_id,
    5,
    'Points for clicking search in the search bar'
);
}

Thanks, I’ll try it out and get back to you.

@mandejp,

Sure, Please do let us know if you need any assistance.

I installed and got the score (I use mycred_link). But when the user clicks on that link, the point is calculated continuously.
So how do I set a limit to earn points per day when the user clicks on mycred_link?
And how to set the time interval for each different click (for example, the user clicks on mycred_link, and 5 seconds later they click on mycred_link to calculate the next point, even if in about 5 seconds before they click on mycred_link, it will also be counted. no points)?

@mandejp,

You can wrap the add_creds function under the below condition. One user will get points only once for clicking on a particular link. This is how myCred link click hook works. A user cannot get points multiple times for clicking on the same link.

if ( ! $this->over_hook_limit( '', 'reference', $user_id ) ) {

$mycred->add_creds(
    'reference',
    $user_id,
    5,
    'Points for clicking search in the search bar'
);
}

Can you guide me to limit points in mycred link like Viewing Content (Points per day, week, month)?

@mandejp,

You can have a look at the code of our other myCred hooks for reference. Since you have done some custom work you will have to do some coding to make it work.

I have tried installing and trying ways but no success. I guess I have to skip adding points to users when they search

@mandejp,

Have you made any custom hook to achieve your requirement?
