Rewards API

Rewards API

A simple logic engine in the ACP to allow you to do actions based on events.

This was originally part of the badge system plugin but I decided to remove this and make it core, and have other plugins be able to build on top of it (badges plugin, achievements plugin, etc)

This is just a basic iteration and I'm sure there's a ton more we can do to make this cooler in future.

• Basic Rewards ACP interface
• Allow plugins to define conditions (ex. "If user's reputation is over X")
• Allow plugins to define conditionals (ex. "greater than", "smaller than")
• Allow plugins to define rewards/actions (ex. "Add user to group", "Send alert to user")
• Plugins can define custom parameters in the Rewards ACP (ex. the Message / Title field for the alert reward)
• Rewards Essentials plugin with samples on how to do all of the above
• Allow to define a reward as claimable only once or multiple / infinite times

Thank you!

@psychobunny Should I be able to create some basic rewards with this or do I need to wait for plugins to be implemented? Right now nothing happens when I click "New Reward".

[psychobunny]

./nodebb upgrade

should have installed the plugin, if not then npm install nodebb-rewards-essentials

[pichalite]

nodebb-rewards-essentials plugin is already installed and activated.

[psychobunny]

Just double checking, you did restart forum after activating etc right?

Do you get any error messages in the console when clicking on "New Reward"?

[pichalite]

Yes, I did restart. I just restarted it again.

I don't see any error messages in the console when I click "New Reward". It just doesn't do anything.

After I come to the "Rewards" page, every link I click in the ACP throws this error in the console.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token u

I committed a fix for that second error, but I can't reproduce the first one. Tried it on an older db that I had upgraded to latest. Going to try on a fresh install now

[psychobunny]

Got it to work on a completely fresh install as well. Try and see if the fix I posted above for the other error somehow resolves the first issue?

[pichalite]

pulled the latest code and the "New Reward" button works now.

The default "Then:" is set to "Add to Group" but it doesn't display the "Group Name:" select list unless I pick "Send alert message" and then change it to "Add to Group".

In the "Group Name:" select list, in addition to groups, all the categories are listed with privileges. Is that how it's going to be?

[psychobunny]

The first one is a minor bug (although I thought I fixed that), will look into it shortly

The second is intended, permissions are actually "groups". So a use case could be, if you gained enough reputation, you'd be able to allow a user to post in Category X

It needs better UX / design though, which is something I'll focus on as we go along
