Hi,
I have some tips for improvement of the credit plugin:
1.Credits can be earned by various actions, but if you really want to monetizing your network credits should also be spend. For...
Holly+1 to including private messaging. I asked about this when I first considered switching to mooSocial and would still love to see this implemented. I had that function on Oxwall and really miss it. I'd even be willing to contribute some funds toward that as a customization initially if it was included as an improvement in a future release/update of this plugin. Other core activities/functions are included (photos, videos, blogs, statuses/likes, topics, groups), but not messaging.

ketkew's point about it being harder to spend credits if you don't have things like memberships or a store or gifts is really valid. You can set it so people earn negative credits (in effect, spending them) for the available actions, but I prefer to reward people for contributing content rather than costing them. I have gifts but no one uses them except me, despite my attempts to get people to.
Being able to set private messaging to earn negative credits would limit the ability of men to join and immediately send a copy/paste message to every woman they find without ever engaging in the community, or for scammers to send a spam message to loads of people. It's a light-weight way of making people pay for messaging--they can message some new people for free if you give credits for them signing up, and then they have to contribute some content (or pay for credits if the community is set up that way, which mine isn't) if they want to continue messaging new/different people.
(I'd envision this as it costing credits to initiate a message, no cost or reward for replying, and no further cost to continue within one message string. It would only cost again for the first message sent in each brand new message string.)
ketkewThat's also a reason why I would like to have private messaging connected to credits. You can monetize and prevent SPAM users. Or the SPAM users are willing to pay. But if they are reported by other users as SPAM I block their account and they lost their credits. This is a win-win situation
A credit system should should be configurable for different activities within a community. Earn and spending credits should be the option (Oxwall does both also), otherwise monetizing without memberships... moreThat's also a reason why I would like to have private messaging connected to credits.

Hi Mark, if you recall, I have a customized version of the credits plugin. I've decided I no longer wish to use it at this time. My question is, do I just disable/deactivate it? Or is there code outside of the plugin which was customized that would need to be changed back?
Hi - How do I get Remove or at the very least Edit the "Action Types and Credit" menu in the Credit Menu.
For example - I am not using blogs - so I don't want the "blogs" credit info there.
Also the default text makes it sound like you are talking to an admin e.g. "You can edit how many credits member can earn for each action" - why would a member need to be told this????
Is there a way, or will there will be a way where uses can buy actual items with the credit plugin, i want to use the plugin so members can buy stickers or t-shirts that basically advertise the site
Mark
Which it's possible. You can use credit to post featured job, add your profile to spotlight area...please let me know which plugins do you plan to use with credits. I will check and let you know.
Mark
Yes, you can do that when upgrading membership, post jobs, ...after clicking on "Buy it now" system will redirect you to payment gateway selection page. You can select paypal or credit to pay. See attached screenshot for more details

im not talking about upgrading memberships and jobs, i know that, but what I'm saying is i want to sell things on my site (like shirts) and want people to be able to buy them with credits
Mark
