"Credits" are points that can be acquired using a popular oxwall plugin called "user credits".
http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/53
Many other plugins are designed to integrate with user credits plugin. I
want my "bonus referral" plugin to work with and in conjunction with
the "user credits" plugin.
So you will need to understand the oxwall framework, and the framework
of the "user credits" plugin. Oxwall is free to download. The user
credit plugin cost $99 however
My site members will be given a custom url with tracking numbers on the
end unique per user. The url will be to my site. My members can then go
where ever they want either on the web, facebook or email and paste the
custom link. When those they have shared the link with click on it, the
link will lead back to my site and the custom tracking part of the url
will allow for giving credit ("user credit") to the user who pasted the
link. It's a reward system for linking members back to my site.
The job will be to create 1 oxwall plugin with the following functions.
-installs cleanly using oxwall 1.7.3 plugin installer
-integrates with user credits plugin
-must run efficiently and use limited server resources
-creates small widget (oxwall widget system) on on user profile: shows credits earned via referral program.
-all widgets can be controlled using oxwalls tools, just as all widgets
can be moved, controlled and permissions set. "Standard oxwall widget"
-create small widget on oxwall global sidebar that leads to a custom page.
-custom page uses oxwall header, footer and frame work but will not be
listed in main menu. Can only be found by clicking on link in side bar
widget.
-custom page will offer the logged in user his/her custom url with some
small instructions. and a description of how much will be earned per
click
-admin settings for all above. including ability to turn off widget in
profiles and on side bar. (should be handled already by oxwall frame
work)
-admin settings to determine number of credits earned per click
As far as template, look/desgin. I can PM you an example site. They
have a similar program but they are offering user days of membership
instead of credits. Also they are a non oxwall site. However, their
layout execution and design is what I am going for with my "referral
bonus" plugin. It's a good working example.
Yes, there used to be a "referral bonus" plugin in the oxwall store. The
author took it down. So I can't buy it. I have no choice but to try and
create a new one.
Is anyone interested in making this?
