Close this thread.

Change of directions. I’m customizing this ‘questions4points’ module. Will be a ton easier.

Hmm…somehow close this thread.

Ok, change of directions. It’s taking too long to learn what everything means. I found this more digestable.

‘Slypider’ made a module for getting answers to questions correct. I’m modifying this code, and makeing each point a different answer.

I originally wanted something where the user could type in a number, submit it and have that appear as their points. Ex. if we were racing to see who would finish Huck Fin first, we could type in what page we are on. Using cubepoints would make the scoreboard much easier to make.

I reasoned since I don’t code very well, that I could do just that by using the paypal code, modifying it to skip that part, and before adding the points subtract something like 1000 points to set it at zero.

Ok, you can ignore the two above. I ended up activating the paypal integration so that users can “purchase points”. I’m looking at that code right now. I don’t know PHP, so it’s getting difficult figuring out how to modify the script. I’m not sure what I’m doing here, but I’m almost sure this is the easiest way to do it…I just have to figure what everything means.

ok, ipm is instant payment notification. That’s through paypal

I think this is important. It’s part of the code above. btw, the code above is all of the plugin code minus the country currency options. the second part is what was after the first

function cp_module_paypal_ipn(){
	if($_GET['cp_module_paypal_ipn']!=''){
	// read the post from PayPal system and add 'cmd'
	$req = 'cmd=_notify-validate';
	foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
	$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
	$req .= "&$key=$value";
	}
	if(get_option('cp_module_paypal_sandbox')){
		$loc = 'ssl://www.sandbox.paypal.com';
	}
	else{
		$loc = 'ssl://www.paypal.com';
	}

Anyone know what ‘ipm’, ‘cmd’, or anything with the ‘$’ means? I think those are the most important parts.

Ok, I’m making progress. I’m looking at code on the plugin file. I’m looking through the PHP. I skipped all the parts I saw were unimportant. Here is the code. i’m stuck. perhaps someone here can point out what needs to be changed.

If you meant offline, you can use XAMP and play around with it on your computer.

If you already bought server space and the domain you can put up the “Maintenance Mode” plugin so that only you can see it. Also, if you already have the domain you can install it on something.yourdomain.com, and then uncheck the google searcheable in settings>privacy.

it didn’t work. i remember though changing the words justify on another theme to center and that worked. a little difficult to guess and test on a theme this large
