Point System

[grynmoors]

They must also have some kind of cookies set on the views too, because, again, I could sit there and mash the F5 key quite a few times...

My guess is that you'll have to hire a freelancer.

if i were to have the point script, then i would find a way to limit the ips.

do you have aim or msn i can talk to u on?

[grynmoors]

Me? Not sure what I could help you with since I'm not a programmer but yeah I have MSN. You can contact me thru my web site and I'll give it to you.

just to disscuss this together, brain storm as some people call it.

[grynmoors]

Well, I think that it would best be discussed here in the forums so that everyone can benefit from our ideas. :wink:

[assault14]

ok well lets start off with this... WERE ARE THE PROGRAMMERS!!!

[carefree]

This is easy just track incomming ip adresses:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

and referers:

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

Update the database on unique hits and add a point to that vid

Also to prevent cheating add a timestamp:

  //** Make sure it's been 24 hours since they last visited**//

 $timestamp = //database row here;
  $current_timestamp = time();
  if($timestamp and (($timestamp + 86400) < $current_timestamp))
  {
//query here
  }
  elseif(!$timestamp)
  {
//query here
  }

The rest is preference

You know...now that vShare is opened up, a lot of the things on these old wish lists can finally come true! w00t!

Im using a rewards system for my site.
When a user is logged in and surfs around a bit, uploads vids, comments etc. They get a free HD video based on what categories they have most viewed

If that mod will be created, I'll buy it! ;)
