Apply points retroactively for previous members OR after updating "Points for basic events"

When installing this mod after members have already created content, it doesn't seem to take into account content created before installation. For instance, members who have contributed/posted a lot to the site don't have any points because the mod doesn't seem to recognize their past work.
A similar scenario is when the admin makes changes or updates to the "Points for basic events" setting (on Points settings admin page)-- for instance, say I decide I want to change the # of points for forum postings, it doesn't seem to update current/past members point values to account for those new values.
FWIW I wasn't sure if I missed something, so I did a test run of update php after changing "Points for basic events" but didn't notice any point changes for previous members.
Otherwise, nice mod & thx, KV

This is not a bug, it is how its designed. Points are granted when the action occurs so if you change point levels they won't be retroactive.
You'll want to look into userpoints_retroactive in the user points contributed project.

Ah, thanks much for that-- totally missed the contrib additions, but downloaded them now from http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_contrib and works just as you suggested.

changing status back to by design as this was never a bug to begin with thus it can't be fixed nor closed.
