Userpoints?

[hitboy]

Can I make a vbulletin forum post a node or something because I want to use the drupal "userpoint module" Is this possible? thanks

Sorry, I don't get what you're asking

[hitboy]

Which part do you not understand? Ill try to make it easier to understand I want to take the module "userpoints" on the drupal.org website and make it so users will get points when they post on the vbulletin forum... let me know if you need any other details thanks

Ah like that, well that is possible "simply" by creating a plugin for vBulletin that updates the userpoints when he makes a post.
Ofcourse it sounds easier than it actually will be. It's fairly easy to get access to vbDrupal functionality (and those of the loaded modules). How to load vbDrupal from within a vBulletin plugin is explained in the FAQ section of the README (http://vbdrupal.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/vbdrupal/branches/vbdrupal-4.7/README.html#faq) under "How to write a vBulletin plugin that uses vbDrupal functionality?".

Yeah I was wanting a "points system" for my site. But what I want is it to be used so where people could get points for posting articles or whatever you want to call what they will be on my site. also I would like it so points could be added for certain things in the forums.

so basically the same system would be getting actions from both vbdrupal and the forums.

I have looked at many things for the vbulletin side of thengs but want to find the wright one for the both of them.

since usergroups for drupal are mapped to vb usergroups, you could take advantage of that as well. that way, either points for drupal or vb promotions are both connected to your points/promotion system...to me, that seems much easier than trying to equate the two with custom code...x number of points gives a promotion, or x activity on the forum gives a promotion, and since users could be doing both, one wouldn't negate the other.

at least it's another angle...
