Hi,

I was just wondering if userpoints could be perhaps integrated with the http://drupal.org/project/service_links module in the future?

Would love to reward my users when they post content to social networks.

Looking most forward to any reply :)

From having a quick look at that module, that doesn't seem possible.

The module doesn't track clicks, it just displays them. So there is no way for a userpoints integration to know if and when a link was clicked. The only thing that you could do would be to detect clicks with javascript. And that would then be easy to game because you can just track the initial click, most services probably display some sort of form/confirmation after that. So your users could click on each icon and then use the browser back button to collect points ;)

Thank you so much for your reply Berdir.

What I found interesting at http://www.productionhub.com/users/referral_code.aspx is something like a referral for each social or share, but in our case a user gets awarded points in our Drupal system.

I understand that there is no click-track-back, but the idea was there :)

Cross-referencing the concept at service links: http://drupal.org/node/1442280
