Display of user points

The first one may be difficult to implement, since it requires changes everywhere the user is displayed, so it involves changes to other modules.

What can be done is to provide a link to the points in the user's profile. This can be done in the userpoints_user() function.

Try this, and if it works, I can can commit to the repository.

Add the following 4 lines after the "break;" line in that function.

    case 'view':
      $points = (int) db_result(db_query('SELECT points FROM {userpoints} WHERE uid = %d', $user->uid));
      return array('points' => form_item(t('Points'), $points);
      break;

See if it works.

A user list is possible. The "Highest Users" block already does half of that.

Not sure I'm understanding what this would do, or how to execute changes to the script, but I'd sure like to have a way, as administrator of identifying user points of all members of a community. I use drupal in teaching, and metrics of involvement in the site can be part of a grading scheme. If there were a table of some sort for administrators to display at least summry point results across authenticated users or users of various roles by participant, that would be cool. If each user had a running point total on their user page, that would be an improvement;-)

Here is a version with the above modification. It returns a new item called "points" to the user object when it is viewed.

Copy the module to the modules directory, then go to a user and view him (e.g. example.com/user/23), and see if anything is displayed.

sciman, for displaying all users with points, a page need to be added to the module to do this. It is not difficult, but I will get to it when time permits.

Try replacing the function userpoints_user() as follows:

========== CUT HERE ==============
function userpoints_user($op) {
  global $user;

  switch($op) {
    case 'delete':
      db_query('DELETE FROM {userpoints} WHERE uid = %d', $user->uid);
      break;
    case 'view':
      $points = (int) db_result(db_query('SELECT points FROM {userpoints} WHERE uid = %d', $user->uid));
      return array(t('Points') => form_item(t('Your Points'), $points));
      break;
  }
}
========== CUT HERE ==============

Try this version. I tested it and it works (shows the points of the users in the profile).

Save it as userpoints.module.

Sciman,

I went ahead and added the feature you want. It would be useful for others too.

If a user has the permission "view userpoints", they will have a menu item called "User Points", which is a page that lists all the users that have points in descending order.

Wait till tomorrow and download the 4.6 version, and it should contian that feature.

Absolutely terrific.. this is an extremely useful feature for those of us interested in educational uses of Drupal.. much appreciated.
