User Points Contributed modules

kbahey - December 27, 2007 - 04:07

This is a collection of modules that make use of User Points module API.

They are written and contributed by various people and hence can be of various quality, maturity and maintainership levels.

If you created a module that uses the Userpoints API and it does not have its own project, please contribute it by submitting an issue and attaching a tar.gz of the .info and .module files you created. Please describe what your module does in a bit of detail.

You can use other modules here as a starting point or sample for what can be achieved by userpoints.

Note that not all the modules above would be available for all Drupal versions, nor Userpoints API versions.

As of mid January 2008, all but one are available for 5.x-2.x, and one for 5.x-3.x. Porting to Drupal 6.x is happening one module at a time.

If you want a module ported, then please submit working and tested patches.

You can read a tutorial and some examples of how to write modules that use the 3.x API here.

Other modules

Note that there are many other Drupal modules that provide Userpoints integration but are not part of the Userpoints Contrib project. For example:

If you integrate Userpoints with other modules that have their own project, please contact the maintainers to list your module above.

Compatibility

Note that releases compatibility is important. User Points Contrib 5.x-2.x only work with User Points 5.x-2.x, and User Points Contrib 5.x-3.x only work with User Points 5.x-3.x.

Do not mix releases since you will run into trouble.

If you mix releases, do not ask for support, since it is known not to work a priori.
