[User Blog MOD] Point of Categories?

Postby Exodyus » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:55 pm

Thank you for your extravagent MOD work, by the way.

My question is what is the need for a Blog Category?
Users can post on their own blogs without having that Category and I'm pretty-much baffled by it.

It just allows you to help organize entries. Depending on what the board is designed for you may have people interested in writing articles and such for specific needs. Then people looking for that topic can find the articles more easily.

It's really up to you, it's not required by any means to have categories, they are just available if you see them as useful

Oh, so like a general area for all to see -- aside from user blogs. More like a forum blog?

You can see how categories are shown on the blog here. http://lithiumstudios.org/blog/

Is there a way to modify the User Blog with the Ultimate Points System, so that users gain points for their posts in the Blog? Based on Characters, Word Count, etc ...?

There is a plugin for simple points, i'm not sure how similar the two mods are, it might work with that mod, you could contact the author of that mod and ask or compare the code to see how they are setup

Look into your UPS installation. In the folder contrib/AddOns/User_Blog_Mod_Plugin we added a plugin for the Blog Mod. As far as I have it in mind, it's of course not that detailed. So you can gain points for writing a blog entry and points for answering a blog entry.
