I plan to have totals show on profiles pretty soon, but right now they only show up on mini-profiles, which supports the plugin's core functionality of being a fun game to play that encourages members to stick around and engage with your community's content. Leaderboards are further out.

Sorry if the plugin is a little confusing, I know it doesn't have much in the way of instructions. I just wanted to make this early version available for the hardcore players here on Support. Updates all in due time!

Edit: We've been accepted onto the library! Enjoy one-click install.

Happy to see that you were able to get it added to the library! The tool is super easy to use, even with base instructions you provided, so no worries! But if you could provide the line needed to have it appear in mini-profile templates, that'd really be helpful. For those who have custom mini-profile templates with specific themes, it doesn't show, and I definitely want to award a user with the most candies collected at the end of Halloween.

David Clark,

I saw that you said you'd be adding in a leaderboard, but I'm also curious to if you'd be willing to add in an edit feature. Here is my thought behind that:

- I also run Peter's Monetary System and Shop. A thought I had for your plugin would be to where certain Staff (defined in your plugin settings) could perform an edit on a member's total number of candies (or whatever is currently being used) so Staff could perform an "exchange" (manually, of course) of candies for items in the store. I'd be able to use the Gifting feature of the Shop to give that member the item, but I would need some way to subtract the "cost" from their total candies. Is this an option you may consider adding?

I'm trying to come up with ideas for what the candies could be used for, rather than just having them collected. I definitely like this plugin (and thank you for leaving it editable so I can see how some things are done to help my own JS learning) and have it installed on my CGI forum (I have 2 candies already ).

For the editing, perhaps a Who can edit? setting that takes Member Names (Forum Search > Search Type > Members in the UI in plugin build), or even groups (Forum Search > Search Type > Groups) or perhaps both. I would personally use Members so I can set specific members to who could edit, but I'm sure some forums would prefer to be able to just set groups - so, perhaps, both options would be nice.

Yay!

Works for me now, but the pumpkin still isn't showing up on the bottom right on the screen.
Thanks so much for making this awesome plugin!!

Sorry, I couldn't get back to you sooner. I also hope you found out by now that it takes five pieces of candy before the Jackolantern pops up down there for you.

Thanks moonbeam for jumping in for her earlier.

Hey! Love the plugin! Working great on my page! Just wondering, for us with custom mini-profiles, is there a divide for the bag and the number of candies collected that I can put on members profiles manually?

[vulpes]

Update:

I have been tinkering with the code all night, trying to figure out what line to add to my custom mini profile so it will actually show in the mini profile. This is what I have:

<div class="prizeBag"><img src="http://dev.prbrds.com/d/c/oTJ2HEbwvK.png"><div class="prizeCountContainer"><span class="prizeCount"><span class="prizeNum"></span><img class="prizeIcon" src="CANDY IMAGE URL"></span></div></div>

It shows the pictures, but I'm missing the number, still. Don't know how to make that appear, but there is at least a placeholder, so it's nice I've gotten at least that far.

If someone knows what will make the number appear/what I should do differently so it just appears like it does here at Support, that'd be great. But hopefully this helps some of the other people also curious about the same thing.

I don't see the Jack-o-larten on the PN....whatever bar on my site. Is it possible for my settings to be wrong?

Find 5 candies by yourself then up it pops.

[Himms]

oooooooh okay. That's helps

I haven't even had this plugin installed for 24 hours and they're already going nuts about it.... one person already hit 10k completely legit 

Another person found a way to modify their own candy count, but they really just did it as some sort of test and let me know about it right away. Is this a problem with the plugin or is it just because of how plugin keys work?

[David Clark]

That's how keys work - the same function that allows users to set their own value is the one i use in the plugin itself, @rawri.

I'll work on refactoring in the functionality of being able to place the elements anywhere in the mini profile, vulpes.

Think I found a lil bit of a bug.. not sure if it's just me. Not sure how to explain it but here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing

image.prntscr.com/image/4bdd1016318d497f89310d1358a90028.png

6 friends online = 6 counters shown. They're also the same number despite everyone having a different count. Haven't yet tried it from a non-admin account

[Himms]

This might be a bug or something I'm not doing right.....

One of my accounts despite collecting 4 Candies.....number still sits at zero. My other account being staff one has 6 or 7 candy. One member of my site encounters the same issue and the error popup shows up every time, yet picking up 5 candies.....their number is still zero.

Never mind.....premission tweek did the trick

Mmm Let me know when somebody figured out how to get a number, I would love to manually add to miniprofiles.

Also I noticed the plugin on here have it where you at some point reach a candy count and says "such n such"
Is there anyway maybe future, probably far, where we can customize that? Add/subtract etc?
Glade you kept the Candy Detector David Clark, thank you.

Just purchased a Super Key to be able to add this to our forum!
Looking forward to filling my candy bag there, too.

Honestly, David Clark , the Candy Detector is brilliant!
