Thanks again for the donations a few months ago. Finally I have installed IP.Downloads and uploaded my main apps/hooks. If you look closely you'll also notice something else working in that app...

I can't access it...

It charges points! Will there be a tag that says X Points where it would normally say free? Also if lets say I uploaded something and charged points would I get the points they paid with? Would it also charge a commission like the paid settings now? I know its early in development, just want to get suggestions in early!

It shows the number of points under File Information. There is a screenshot of it: http://emoneycodes.c...s-per-download/

Should be fixed now. Let me know if you still can't.

Points per download, Good stuff.

Any word how it works with Nexus installed too?

Yea the only thing I am worried about is that it is not standing out that it cost that price. So someone could overlook it and theres no warning on points being spent.

So basically lets say don't read everything carefully I wouldn't even know that it charged any points. Any fix?

The way it works shouldn't interfere with Nexus, or at least it shouldn't. I don't have Nexus so I'm not 100% sure, but I can't imagine any conflicts. Let me know if you see something.

Yeah, I was worried about that too, however there is no way for it to integrate the way Nexus does (Adds that Free/$X.XX) icon to the images and such. There are no hook points that would do that, not to mention it would have to work completely different on boards with Nexus vs boards without Nexus.

But with that being said, during this Beta phase I'll take another peak at the template and see if there is a better hook spot for it. Come to think of it, it would be pretty easy for you to try to find the spot for me, lol.

Go to ACP->Manage Hook and click the Edit button on (e32) Points Per Download. Go to the Files tab and scroll down to the Template Hook file with "fileDisplay" for The skin function this hook is in. By changing the selection in The hook 'ID' you can change where to display the cost. It might look a bit funky because the template itself would need to be tweaked to match the new place for it. But it is worth a shot, there are a bunch of spots to try, so I could use some help, lol.

For instance, changing it to canRate puts it right below the title. If we styled the text a bit, that might work.

What I think would look cool is doing what you did above but make it the same size as the download button with the location right under the download button

Or alter the default download button to orange like above and make the inside text say "Download: 25,000" Or something like that

Or you could do what IPS does with their agreement. Where you click download and it brings you to a page that says it costs 25,000 Points and so you agree to this and theres a button that says confirm purchase

Just throwing ideas out there. Ill try to modify it myself in a little bit but if any of the above can be done that would be great!

[emoney emoney]

The first two can't be done, there are no hook points. The if-statements in that section aren't labeled, plus the logic isn't simply enough.

I think what I'll do is add that bit to the confirmation at the top of the disclaimer and then change the points cost back to how it was originally.

The only catch is the admin will need to enable confirmation for it to work to display, else that confirmation page won't show up at all, of course.

[Jay]

Perhaps just highlight where you have it now, along with the disclaimer (as an option)


and, topic downloads?
On our forums we have some shops where people make graphics, music, models etc.... its by request and attached to the post to download.

[coltsman]

Perhaps making everything above all options in which the admin can choose which to enable?

[emoney emoney]

K, I made the adjustments so that it will display on the confirmation page if that page is enabled, and also the price will be displayed in it's own box and the admin can choose a color to highlight it or leave it as plain text.

With Orange (default) chosen:
