users reputation

[jeff]

Hi guys, me again!

Can someone tell me how reputation system works ? Is it "just" related to upvote/downvote ? Something else ?

Also how can i do to give members XX reputation when joining a group ? I wanted to do it through rewards but there is no "If user's group", is there any way to add it ?

[jeff]

Nobody to clear this point ? Its really important to me but there is no documentation about it.

@jeff said in users reputation:

Is it "just" related to upvote/downvote ?

Yes, users earn/lose reputation by up votes/downvotes.

It's not available in rewards plugin. You can create a plugin to give reputation when user joins a group.

Make the plugin listen to hook action:group.join. Check for the group name and use the uid passed in the hook to give reputation using this...

user.incrementUserFieldBy(uid, 'reputation', xx);

To complete @pichalite 's answer, you have to update the value in the users:reputation sorted set as well. So you would do

user.incrementUserFieldBy(uid, 'reputation', 1, function (err, newreputation) {
	if (err) {
		return callback(err);
	}
	db.sortedSetAdd('users:reputation', newreputation, uid, callback);
});

@baris so, is this a bug?

@pichalite Yes please file it in the repo, that would just increment the reputation in the user hash but their order in the /users/sort-reputation page won't change.
