Description
WOW, exactly what i need when i need it. but i can't get it to do what i want, so i am hoping you can help me.
i think that the votingpoints.rules_sample.inc is supposed to be creating a sample rule in rules that will award userpoints to the author of a node or comment that is being voted on (i sure hope that is what this module will do).
but when i install the module against either rules 6.x-1.0-beta3 or 6.x-1.0-dev, no sample rule is created and i am unable to create a rule that accesses the author of the content instead of the user who is voting.
can you give me a step-by-step on how to award points to the content author?
thanks very much.

The module was written by Stalski http://drupal.org/user/322618.
I sent him a note pointing him to this issue so he would reply to your query.

thanks, i also direct PM'd him when i created the issue here, so he's probably sick of hearing it already.
i decided that the rules-based approach to my use-case wasn't the best way to go, so i created a new module based on userpoints_votingapi that does what i want instead. please include it in userpoints_contrib if you want to. module attached here.

It does not make sense to include it in userpoints_contrib as it contains a dependency on an external module.
You are better off opening a new issue for userpoints_votingapi and attach your code. It would belong better with the parent module.

Hi sziggle,
I downloaded userpoints_vote_for_author but I can't figure out how to configure it. It does not show up in the Userpoints configuration form.
#5
I disabled Userpoints Voting API and a section for "Vote for Author" showed up in the Userpoints form, but the only option available is "Moderate votes" - there is no section for choosing the number of points to award or the category of points.
#6
the same issue is being worked on here: http://drupal.org/node/317585
#7
I installed this module, but for some reason, no points are going to the author, but are still going to the voter. Did I not disable something, or do I need to enable something else?
Thanks.
