MyAchievements
My Achievements lets you setup various types of achievements that motivate your members to be more active.
Setup ranks according to achievements and users will definitely do their best to upgrade their rank.
There are five types of achievements:
- Post Count: achievements gained by reaching a certain post number.
- Thread Count: achievements gained by reaching a certain thread number.
- Activity: achievements gained by being a certain amount of time online.
- Custom: achievements given by administrators (similar to awards).
- Points: achievements gained by being reaching a certain amount of NewPoints points. (required: NewPoints must be activated, thus this feature is optional)
Based on the achievements collected, it is possible to get the rank upgraded, however the administrator must have setup ranks already:
- In order to setup a rank you need to have created at least one achievement.
- You can setup ranks by going to Admin Panel -> My Achievements tab -> Ranks on the side bar -> Add
Here's how the rank upgrading process works:
- The task checks if users have reached certain conditions to receive certain achievements. If a user achieves something, it checks if the rank should be upgraded.
- Each time an administrator gives a custom achievement, My Achievements checks if there is a rank which depends on that custom achievement and if there is, it upgrades the user's rank.
You should always setup a rank with level 0 and no achievement requirements for users that have no achievements.
