Rudolph's Presents [Updated: 31st Oct, 2018]

[Peter]

Rudolph needs your help to save Christmas. Santa and the other reindeer's are unable to deliver the rest of the presents, so he is relying on you and your forum members to deliver the remaining presents.

Features

• 529 possible presents to choose from.
• Members start with 10 tokens (can be changed).
• Once all tokens are used up, they have a chance to earn more tokens when they post so they can send more presents.
• Send presents to members (button on profile page).
• Notification when you receive a present.
• Presents show up on profile, hovering over them tells you how long until you can open them.
• Mini profile stats for presents received, sent, and tokens left.
• Each member can only send 3 presents to the same user. So spread them about.
• Option to only allow specific groups to send presents.
• Option to ban specific members from sending / opening presents. Presents will remain unopened on their profile for good .
• Support for custom profiles and mini profiles (ask once plugin is live and I'll provide details, most don't need this)

FAQ

• Can I add my own custom images?
  No, sorry.  Maybe in the future.
  
• How does a member send a present?
  If the member has permission (by default, all members have permission to send presents), then they can go to someones profile, and next to the "Send Message" button, there will be another button called "Rudolph's Presents". Clicking that will open the list.
  
• Why does the button not show?
  Because you have a custom template most likely. This is fixable, as I did add support to append the button to another place. Just ask for details.
  
• How does earning tokens work?
  Once a member has used all their tokens up, they have a chance to earn additional tokens when posting. Tokens are never earned if the member already has tokens.
  
• Can I change the percentage chances for getting tokens?
  No. Actively posting will get members tokens, I think the rates are fine as they are, though might include settings in the future.
• How do members open their presents?
  Christmas day or anytime after, the member can go to their profile and click on their presents to open them.

Can I have the details in advance to set up the send present option ready?

[Peter]

Button ID needs to be "rudolphs-presents-button", the code will look for it and attach the event.

Does it have to be a button or could it be a link?

[Peter]

Boy_Wonder,

Anything, as it just looks for the id...

Thank you ^_^ That makes it easier. I'm sitting refreshing plugin library waiting for it to be accepted now XD

[Peter]

Plugin is available from the library now

Also, take a moment to review it in the library please.  It kinda sucks making plugins as big as this only to get basically no feedback on it.  It puts me off adding additions, or creating future plugins.

Peter I love it as I've said in my review! It's a sexy awesome plugin and I'm just running around spreading festive cheer on my site by dropping presents around!

[coptal]

it looks great

[gtv22]

Wonderful idea, Peter! Love it. Thank You!


I have one member who received notice several times. Do you need to click on the gift notification in a specific way in order to acknowledge it so it won't repeat?

I was also wondering, does the gift say who it is from?

Is there any way I can enlarge the pop up area that says a present has been sent successfully? My text is getting cutoff before it can even scroll.

Thanks

Love it too,  Peter my members are having great fun! I was wondering the same as gtv22, will they see who the gift is from.

My members are also wondering if there is a way they can see who they have sent a gift to, cos they can't remember

Thanks

[Peter]

mudgiemoo,

When they open them, it will say who it is from.

Possible, but unfortunately I don't have time to make any changes. Maybe next year

[mudgiemoo]

Lovely, many thanks Peter

I see you can't add custom images at this time, guess this also includes changing the current ones?

Not that I can see.  

peter , If this plugin gets updated, I'd like to see more tokens awarded right at the first.  And I'd like it to be a lot easier to earn new tokens -- i.e., improve the odds of both how often you get new tokens, and how many you get when you do.  Or an ability for the admin to change the variables per forum. It is too hard to earn new tokens in this version.  My folks are loving it, but getting frustrated with the trickle of new tokens.   Thanks!
