point trigger errors

Hi @onyekat!

It is so weird GamiPress gives points when a user signs up instead of creating a forum topic if you have not created a specific award for that.

Please, provide us a screenshot with your points awards configuration or simply compare this config (I have supposed you are creating the forum with BuddyBoss or BBPress)

With yours. Check that you have an event that the user needs the post published. If it submitted only, the award has not been applied.

Hope it helps!

here is a link to my settings page `click here

as you can see , i did not set any events to award points on sign up but it awards 10 points on sign up with the “create new topic trigger”
i have also noticed that it randomly awards 100 points for the “publish new post ” when a member signs in without publishing any new post

its really messing up my plans and i have no idea why it is so

Hi!

Do you have any achievement or rank set as “earning points” when a user gets it, and its requirements were “when a user signs up”? Maybe that causes these points earnings… ??

Hope it helps!

No , i do not have any rank or achievement for that .
This is what i have noticed

i deleted the initial demo point triggers i found when i installed the app. the slug for it is “points” . some of them are for sign ups and daily visits etc . those are the demo that came with the gamipress installation. I didnt delete the demo point type , but i created new triggers within it . lets call this gamipress demo , GAMIPOINTER

Now each time someone signs up , the new triggers i set up under GAMIPOINTER are activated for the old triggers which i had already deleted

example
Gamipress had a demo trigger to award “points on signup” , “points on login” etc . i deleted the triggers but kept the demo point type which we already know as GAMIPOINTER

then I created a new trigger under GAMIPOINTER for getting 10 points reward when you post a new forum topic

so , a new person signs up , he gets 10 points which is logged as forum topic award even if he did not post any forum topic . Then when he creates a new topic , he still gets rewarded

in the (invisible) gamipress demo triggers , there is reward for logging in. so he still gets 10 points rewards (meant for forum topic posting )

AND NOW

I created new point type AUTHOR and created new triggers , then i deleted all the triggers under the demo point type GAMIPOINTER – No errors for the invisible triggers anymore

BUT
With the new point types AUTHOR, i have seen a few errors which i will mention later but first the question is , I want to retain the GAMIPOINTER type , how do i stop it from awarding the already deleted triggers that came with the demo ?

Hi again!

GamiPress does not install any demo content.

If you have any content on your installation could be only if you have installed and configured GamiPress before. So one thing you can do is to remove that “old content” and only let the points and achievement content you would like to use ??

Hope it helps.
