Greetings Pro's,
We, www.madd-talent.com , are about to give away an autographed Miami Dolphins official team jersey signed by Bob Baumhower. I realize you may not be familiar with the NFL or a player from 20 years ago, but it's a very nice prize for American football lovers. None the less, what I would like to do, I am hoping you can tell me if it's possible to do. I suspect it is, I just don't know how.
JomSocial come with the Karma point system. I would like to add a new Karma point category and this one would be for inviting people to join MADD Talent. When you invite 1 person, you get 1 point. At the end of (x) amount of time, the member of MADD Talent that has accumulated the most Karma points for inviting new people to join, via the invite application that comes with JomSocial, that will be our winner.
There would need to be many changes to this application in order for this to work. One, and most importantly, I would like to change the name from Karma to "Score" or something along those lines that is more sports related. Next, I would like to know how I an change the point system to indicate a number rather than those badges. I don't necessarily want to get rid of the Karma Point system as I can see many uses for it. But, if this Karma module could be copied and saved as the new name, this would be perfect.
I can modify this context to be whatever it needs to be. Any suggestions that you can share with me on how to accomplish this with what I already have will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

David

HI David,

This request need new additional 3rd party plugin and some hacks code, this is not easy request and the pointer is not easy as you think, so I suggest you hire the 3rd party developer for making it happens www.jomsocial.com/jomsocial-developers

thank you

Michal,
I figured this would be the case. I remember reading a thread on this site and I believe it was by "Magic Mike", that gave nice instructions on what you could do to change the Karma points from the images that are displayed on a members profile photo to a number that indicates the accumulated points.
This is not exactly what I wanted, but it would actually work very nicely for my give-a-way. The member that accumulated the most points, wins. I can modify the system points to work as I would like from there.
If you know of this thread, could you share it with me? I read it and think I could do this and it would work.

Thanks,

David Martin

Hi, David.

1. Points for invitation: try this extension: techjoomla.com/products/invitex

Invitex integrates with JomSocial points as Alpha user points allowing you to allocate points to both the Inviter and Invitee when they send invites and sign up respectively. Applies to registration invites.

<?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_KARMA') . $user->_points ;?>

Thank you. I was able to complete the first couple of steps in this process. At this point, because my site is working perfectly, and I don't need anymore issues at this point, I will wait and follow your advice and just hire someone to complete this. I was fine up too point 3 where you instructed me to "3. Displaying karma as points - use this snippet:" and gave me the code to enter there. That is fine and I am sure I could have done it, but I don't know where I am supposed to enter that code in a snipet. If you could give me more details on how I enter that code in a "Snipent", I would appreciate it and would try it. Now, where you advise me to hire someone to do this to get the CSS correct, this is to make sure that the text, "Score" appears in the correct location, correct?

Thanks,

David

Hi, David.

But I provided where to add it:

And now it depends where you want to display it, if in profile, on profile cover you'll need to edit this file:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/profile/focus.php

If in module "Hello Me" then edit this:

ROOT/modules/mod_hellome/tmpl/default.php
