Points and giveaways system

  • Hi,
    I want to create a system like that: users can register. They start with 0 points and doing things like posting tweets, posting in their blog… can earn points. I would write the number of points to each users. If these users have for example, 5 points or more can enter a giveaway that cost 5 points.. The other users that they dont have 5 points (they have 4 or less) they can’t enter. To the users that have 5 points and enter the giveaway, once they click the Enter Giveaway button automatically 5 points are removed (because entering giveaway is requiered 5 points).
    How can I do it? I’m searching for something free.

    Thanks!

    All the plugins in the www.remarpro.com repository are free, though some “plugin as service” arrangements may involve service fees. Search around, maybe you’ll find something.

    If you have some amount of PHP coding aptitude, you could develop your own. The total score can be maintained in user meta. Hook various actions that fire when points should be awarded to increment the logged in user’s meta. If it’s important to be able to audit the awards, another meta field could be used to store an array of log entries. If the log need to be very detailed with many entries, it may make sense to manage it as a separate custom table.
