Could you provide screenshot of your issue?

@Nicolas

Sure.. here you go - notice that there are two different sizes of the progress bar:

[Nicolas]

What browser and OS do you use?

[whitts]

@Nicolas the screenshot is from the latest chrome on win 7. I will try it in IE as well.. From the looks of it, it looks like the long usernames are causing it.

[whitts]

Just checked IE - looks fine in IE.

Bug found

If you upvote and downvote the same comment a few times, everytime you upvote you give the person 2 points.

It's matter of time, while someone will find a way how to abuse the system.
It's a cumulative system. That is why it's simple and robust.
In the same way you can abuse by writing many trash messages, or creating topics.
I would like to omit functional in the plugin, where points could be subtracted.
From the other hand, I would like to have something to prevent so easy abuse.

For now i have just adjusted the header font:

.page-points .container .points-user-name
{
  font-size:1.0em;
}

This seems to make the headers short enough that the porgress bar doesnt get cut off, only problem is that the user avatar now looks way to big but i can live with that.

@whitts by design, long usernames should be truncated.
It worked well before, especially in latest Chrome.

There is an issue with long usernames. They are not truncated. Reproducible in latest Chrome, WIN.

Hi, I really like this plugin but I am a total noob when it comes to coding. Can anyone help me with an idiot's guide to implement this plugin ?
I am using NodeBB v1.0.0 with the persona theme.

[Nicolas]

At current phase, a few plugins are compatible with v1.0.

[Gaurav Grv Robinson]

@Nicolas I read the instructions to integrate the plugin but it was all Greek to me. I am using the Persona theme, are there any step by step instruction to get the plugin to work and display points ?

[Nicolas]

If we talk about v1.0 NodeBB. In order to have workable solution, I have to update plugin. As for step-by-step, I will try to provide more simple step-by-step guide as part of plugin's documentation.

How? - I have to check breaking changes and accommodate them with next update.
When? - I'm going to do it at weekends (5-6 March)

Actually I have waited for major release of NodeBB, so I need solve compatibility only once in a while

[Gaurav Grv Robinson]

@Nicolas Thank you for the prompt response. Also let me know if you do custom development, but not at completely un-affordable and unsustainable costing, lol. I also think that as community members we can arrange for Nicolas's coffee/beer if he can finish up hi TODO list real quick.

[Nicolas]

Version 3.0.1

It's a security update.
Also, plugin awaits for the major update.

[Gaurav Grv Robinson]

Not compatible with V1.0.2 ?

[singhnsk]

@Nicolas is the plugin already updated to be compatible with NodeBB 1.1.x? If yes, I'd love to go ahead and implement it Thanks!

[UncleSam]

@singhnsk I updated my forum to v1.1.2 few hours ago and have not had any problems with nodebb-plugin-ns-points yet .

[Nicolas]

@singhnsk minor 1.X.0 or patch 1.0.X versions should break anything. So it should work well without any extra actions.
