EDITOR REWARDS SYSTEM

I have given this a lot of thought, as to whether or not to put this into the EM plug-in. I think the plug-in is value for money as it stands, and this is not really something I necessarily have to put into this plug-in. Having said that, there are a few features I have been asked to put in, that I may not, so I thought I would offer this as a FREE addition to my ever-growing Editors plugin. I think that it is no longer just a monitoring plug-in, but an editor enhancement plug-in. Basically an essential add on to anyone who is serious about handling editors on the Links SQL driven web site.

I use an AdCredits system, whereby editors are rewarded with credits each month, and then they can buy advertising with the credits.

By adding rewards to the plug-in, I will not be supporting every possible automated task that goes with it. I will leave that up to you. The reason for this, is the amount of work it took me to get this working on my site, and just how user specific this type of setup is. Please appreciate the amount of potential work and support each new features adds. (I may be able to help customize your setup in certain circumstances). I am adding some of the foundations to your own editor rewards setup though, so that this plug-in may assist you in doing what I am doing. Of course, if you don't wish to have a rewards system on your site, you can continue to use the plug-in with out this new feature.

More on exactly what is included shortly.

Version Update:

I am continuing to work on 1.0.5 and so far I have done:

1. Added custom tag to show the total number of times a particular editor has logged in.
2. Added custom tag to show the 2nd last date/time the editor logged in.
3. Shortend the Title produced in the TopX Editors Activity Tag to just "Top X Editors", allowing you to put in any clarification of how the top list is generated yourself. Of course it is based on the editors total activity (Sum of all validations, additions, modifications and deletions for Links and Categories).
4. Added customizable font setting for the title in the TopX Editor Activity Tag. (Required additional column in the editor settings table)
5. Added customizable font setting for the numbering in the TopX Editor Activity Tag. (Required additional column in the editor settings table)
6. EDITOR REWARDS system introduced, with too many features to list here.
