@Nicolas Oh good, this seems to be a fairly popular plugin with our clients

[whitts]

Hi Nicolas, I'm pretty sure this isnt an issue with your plugin but thought id ask anyway.. I have your plugin installed and it works fine in chrome and a few other browsers that i tried but for some reason when using an embedded chrominium browser (in WPF) the points link doesnt display anything.. All other links for the site work and display fine in the embedded browser - your template for the users account also shows the points correctly.. Are you using a certain technology in the points link that might not be available in this embedded browser? Thanks

Thanks, i was using the awesomium browser for WPF - i read that it might not support all modern standards so i might just have to try one of the other 10 projects for WPF out there.

I just noticed that the progress bars on the /points route are not all the same size? Is that normal? Also any way to fit more on the page.. we use full names for user names so the 4 on a page (thats not full width) all overlap..

Thanks

[Nicolas]

Could you provide screenshot of your issue?

[whitts]

@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.

[whitts]

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.

[Nicolas]

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

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
