Does anyone have experience with the Awards plugin that could answer a few questions via DM?

I want to run a contest in my forum to award points for daily logins and contributions, what is the best way to do that?

Has anyone (successfully) integrated "checkin2" or "Points" into their forums? I'm trying to find a way to track daily activity in my forum per member as well as gamify the experience

I'm assuming you're referring to the chart in the main admin control panel? [image: Bpz7XsD.png] The two main analytics tracked are pageviews and unique visitors. Page views are fairly self-explanatory, one page load or transition to a new page counts as a new page view. Unique visitors is based on the IP address, and so every time a new IP address shows up in that hour, the count is incremented by one. We also track unique visitors on a daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time basis, for the numbers here: [image: qwVViau.png] The "registered", "guest", and "bot" variants for pageviews increment alongside each pageview, but depending on whether the user is logged in (or not), or whether that request came from a bot. "registered" and "guest" should add up to the total pageviews, since you're either registered or not. "bots" are usually also guests, but we use some basic logic to detect whether they're a bot or not (probably user-agent string) For a variety of reasons, the "bot" count is not always predictable, since some bots are rather obscure, or fudge their user-agent strings, so take this number with a grain of salt. I hope that answers your questions, let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know.

I think you can also try ns-embed plugin, because youtube live video url is the same as regular video url, so I am assuming it will work.

The GA plugin should work fine (at least, I haven't really received reports that it isn't working). Make sure you run ./nodebb build after activating it, so the client-side payload is added.

I mention that here, too: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/13972/

nodebb-plugin-ns-embed has been working pretty well for me, and you can customize the embed code to your liking

My question is 2 fold......I recently downloaded and installed the Google Analytics plugin provided through NodeBB, and once I did, something odd happened to my forum where myself and my other admin are unable to access the admin options without first clearing all cache and cookies. If I'm in the admin, I can't get back to the homepage, and vis versa. I don't know for sure if it was caused by the plugin download, but it all happened at the same time. 1 - Has anyone had this problem with cache, cookies, and admin access? I have tried multiple browsers and uninstalling the plugin, no fix yet. 2 - Is the plugin responsible? If not, how do I get that to work?

There's a pre-registration one you can configure in the ACP.

thank you @baris @PitaJ . I think the best is this. .category .fa.fa-arrow-circle-right, .topic .fa.fa-arrow-circle-right { display:none; }

Thank you so much for your answer @baris . The issue was resolved when I removed the extra / in url in config.json so from { "url": "https://forum.forum.com/", ... } to { "url": "https://forum.forum.com", ... }
