| Summary | 0001771: Points coupons or codes feature | ||||
| Description | Feature suggestion: Having the ability to create random point codes / links that, when typed into a page or the link is visited when logged in, can credit you with a certain number of points as defined by the set option. Uses: *Earning points for things off-site / that you can't normally earn, such as anonymous surveys, incentive to get others to register at your site (eg. register then use the code to earn points), doing stuff on your Facebook/Twitter, contests that are run differently than how Composr handles them, random giveaways, and more. Options available (these are just suggestions): Points credited for the code / link, expiration, number of allowed uses per person, allowed uses overall, allowed usernames, disallowed usernames, reason as displayed in points logs. Who can make the codes: *Those with permission only as set in permission settings (such as admins). *Maybe allowing for the option for website admins to allow regular users to create codes too (using their gift points or regular points, example if you want to create a code for 10 uses of 10 points each, it would cost the user creating the code 100 points, subtracted automatically as the points are redeemed by others). | ||||

I actually have a dirty implementation of this on lovinity.org that goes beyond just using codes for earning points. It can also be used for executing code for various things, say, for example, you can use a code to upgrade one's usergroup. Probably not going to release it at this time though because I am not sure of its security given it evals code typed into a catalogue field (but only admins would ever put entries in that catalogue anyway). |
