Is it compatible with 3rd party plugin ? Can you post more functions that I know how many features that really worth $100 ? Such as [adding credit rules]. Can we custom credit rules ? or only use default credit rules only ?

>>Is it compatible with 3rd party plugin ?

Yes. All depend on how those 3rd party plugins were developed. If any plugin developer would like to connect his plugin with user credits, he just needs to use standard methods ( can be checked within, for example, "Blogs" plugin). So, compatibility with 3rd party plugins depends only on 3rd party developers themselves.

>>Can you post more functions that I know how many features that really worth $100 ?

You can find out what our plugin allows from this manual ( http://www.oxwall.org/...iguration_manual.pdf) . Note that manual doesn't include latest features I described in my previous reply.

>> Can we custom credit rules ? or only use default credit rules only ?

You can set needed credit cost for any available action.
However, the list of available actions depends on which plugins you use on your site and whether they are connected to "User Credits" or not. For example, "Blogs"/"Events" plugins created by Oxwall Software contain certain methods that allow them to communicate with our "User Credits" plugin, therefore if you have those 2 plugins installed you will get following actions within the settings of our plugin:

Randell actually there is no other social network script better then Oxwall except Privacy setting.

Sir there is no 100% free for open source. You can use default Oxwall script for free. But for extra 3 party plugin. They should charge some money for development. 3 Party developers are not belong Oxwall team. They make great functions to improve Oxwall script. You can see any other social network script. They do charge some fee for license around ($99 to $499). But other social network script lack of 3-Party developers. and They don't have great looking layout. All look like the same !!! so ugly !! I like Oxwall because it has a lot of great theme. Don't tell me WordPress. WordPress is very ugly too. I don't use WordPress and it is not a social network script. It is more like a blog.

I agree that developers should receive for their work in 3 part plugin. But $99 for a plugin like this is nonsense. It's almost the same price of a powerful video editing software and double price of a lot of licences of more complex software. I can imagine that the developer put this price because the community of users of Oxwall is not so big and he can't sell a lot.

Yeah developers should be paid for their work but this is outrageous. I also need their membership plugin, billing gateway, and premoderation. That's what, 300 bucks? I only make about 25 USD a month because there is absolutely no work where I live.

Is your next bugfix going to cost me my car?


Oh right I don't have a car, I can't afford one, and neither can I afford this plugin.

I don't make any cash from my site, only from doing virus removal and web development when I'm not doing school stuff.

not bad :) actually Skalfa's plugin are really expensive. but there is no other [same] plugin can buy. I think Skalfa like to earn more money... but he doesn't know Oxwall's customers are not that much and rich to buy such high price plugin.
