=== Plugin Name === Contributors: lauweijie7715, petester Donate link: http://techcube.net/cubepoints/#donate Tags: points, comments, post, admin, widget Requires at least: 2.2 Tested up to: 2.9 Stable tag: 2.0 CubePoints is a point management system designed for Wordpress blogs. == Description == CubePoints is a point management system designed for Wordpress blogs. Users can earn points by posting comments or creating posts on your site. Encourage your users to comment on your posts by offering them points which could be used to purchase items / upgrades / etc. Users will be awarded a certain number of points for each comment they make. If the comment is deleted from the admin panel, the points will automatically be deducted. CubePoints also comes with an admin panel which gives administrators the ability to alter the points of their users quickly and easily. To display user's points, just put `` in your template or activate the sidebar widget. == Installation == Installing should be a piece of cake and take fewer than five minutes. 1. Unzip and upload upload the `cubepress` directory to the Wordpress plugin directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Configure the plugin to your liking through the 'CubePoints' menu. 4. Add the CubePoints widget to your blog to show users the number of points they currently have. For advanced configurations and integration with themes and other plugins, you may view the documentation that is included with the plugin. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why are my users are unable to donate points to other users? = Make sure you have enabled user-to-user donations in the CubePoints admin panel. = Why is the widget does not display correctly on my sidebar? = Some themes are designed in a way that placing text in the sidebar looks weird. You might want to contact the designer of the theme or edit the widget manually as found in the documentation that came with the plugin. = Why are my users are getting points when they update posts? = This bug has been fixed in the latest version of CubePoints (version 1.2). Make sure you have updated to the latest version and have the logging feature enabled. = Why does the plugin mess up my site design? = It's probably beacuse of Thickbox's css defaulting all elements' padding and margin to 0. This has been fixed in the latest version of CubePoints (since version 1.2). Another reason might be related to jQuery. Version 1.3 has fixed the issue. == Screenshots == 1.
