Points at main menu

Hi @glouk, I’m glad you like the plugin.

The plugin doesn’t offer this feature yet, but I have thought of adding it before. I will add it to the list of feature requests.

I am currently working on a lot of different features for the plugin, so it is hard to estimate when I will be able to add this feature. I can tell you that it will definitely not be in version 2.1, but perhaps I will be able to add it in 2.2 or 2.3.

I know it seems like a very simple feature, but I have to consider what to do when a user has several different types of points. Should the plugin add a toolbar menu for each of them? Or, should the admin have to select which points type to display the menu for? Maybe you have a suggestion.

Hi again!

That would be an awesome feature if you could add it in the near future.
Another, similar option, that you may add is to be able to add the number of points everywhere where an admin wants using php.

For example, i would love if i was able to add something like <?php echo wordpress_points(); ?> where i like to show that number..

Thank you again!

I’ve written a developer tutorial on how to display a user’s points for you. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi again mate!

This is excellent addition!

But it didn’t work for me yet. I’ve named my points “SB Points” so i guess the slug is sb-points?

I added this code below and it doesn’t display anything.

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wordpoints_display_points( get_current_user_id(), ‘sb-points’, ‘my-context’ );

} ?>

—- by the way another idea is to have the points listed at the admin-panel at the users list ??

This link explains how to find the slug of a points type.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have plans to add a feature like that, maybe with the option for the admin to edit the points value there too.

Great!! It works like a charm now, as the slug was wrong!

That would be also awesome, admins to edit points

Another feature to keep in mind for the future is a negative points…for example when a comment is deleted or marked as spam…

Actually, WordPoints automatically subtracts points when a comment is marked as spam. You can find more info in this recent blog post.

Excellent…i have more ideas but i don’t want to bombardize you ??
