Hi,

Is there any way I can show the user's current points as a status bar - kind of like the poll bar except, instead of showing percentages, it shows the users current amount of points over the maximum points allowed or the cap. This would be a great feature as it would give users an incentive to "fill" their points status bar to the max instead of arbitrarily gaining points that appear to have to limit. I've seen this done on another drupal site and was wondering if any of you can point me in the right direction in creating this type of status bar for user points. The drupal site that converted user points into a status-type bar for points is http://lineageone.com - they branded points as "karma."

What would really be awesome is if this status bar could be created with multiple levels. For example, let's say there are three levels of points on this status bar:
Level One: 1000 points
Level Two: 5000 points
Level Three: 10000 points

At the first level, the user has to attain 1000 points in order to move up to the second level by posting content, images, etc. Once they reach level two, their status bar is cleared and restarts at 0/5000, and once they exceed 5000 points, they start over at 0/10000 points but under Level Three.

Kind of like a reputation system with a few levels.

Thanks, I appreciate any help. :)

sorry typo: instead of arbitrarily gaining points that appear to have *no limit

Component: User interface » Code: userpoints_role

I"m moving this over to the userpoints_role as it would be a great feature to add but its more appropriate in userpoints_role as this module moves people in/out of roles. Since its already tracking their progress (in order to move them in/out) its best suited to provide a progress bar.

Maybe some kinda soul out there will whip this up and submit a patch. Also coding to userpoints and Drupal isn't very difficult you should try to tackle this one. Post here if you have questions or need guidance!

Sorry for pinging the participants.

Now that Drupal 7 is out, there is no support for Drupal 5 and the
corresponding modules anymore. Therefore, I'm closing all old issues
which are still open.

I suggest you upgrade to Drupal 6 or 7 and figure out if you're feature
is still needed or the bug still exists and open a new issue in that
case.
