Hello,

Anybody can help me to create a plugin for Alphauserpints? I want to offer any point to my users after each uploaded recipes.

Other: where can I view in the recipe manager who posted that recipe?

Thanks,
Csaba

I had never heard of this before reading it here.
I can only assume you have - but have you read

Hi six gun,

Thanks for the link-tip.
I think better to start with
http://www.alphaplug.com/index.php/alphauserpoints.html

If someone wants to use it for a single installation with the Cookbook you're welcome to inform all users how to do it.

I hope you understand that to include it into the component-distribution there has to be a LOT more work to be done.

I'm not a coder by nature but I can often piece together things. I have created the necessary .xml file and am trying to figure out how to alter the Gary's Cookbook edit.php file... where does the code insert the new submission into the database... that is generally where you will insert the following code:

$api_AUP = JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_alphauserpoints'.DS.'helper.php';
if ( file_exists($api_AUP))
{
require_once ($api_AUP);
AlphaUserPointsHelper::newpoints( 'plgaup_addrecipe_garyscookbook' );
}

And here's what you put in the .xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<alphauserpoints type="plugin">
<rule>Add a recipe</rule>
<description>Add points when a User adds a recipe</description>
<component>com_garyscookbook</component>
<plugin_function>plgaup_addrecipe_garyscookbook</plugin_function>
<fixed_points>true</fixed_points>
</alphauserpoints>

So back to my question... where in edit.php is the new submission inserted into the database?

Why not try the savePost function in the same file?

But again! programming it for a single installation is NOT the same as making it work in a component!!!

Exactly what I was looking for...

Find the following code at or around line 488:

Insert the following immediately after:

And don't forget to upload the .xml file above to alpha user points rules section....

Worked like a charm:)
