Okay, I have absolutely no clue what section to put this in, so I just guessed. The point of this thread is that I wanted to know how you could get a points/cash/credits system for a website. Like how armor games has. I know a little bit of html. I've been searching on google, yahoo, etc. for weeks trying to find it, but no luck. Does anyone know how to add it to your website? I already have a counter for how many posts you make in the forums, but how do you add a points/credits system to the website, not just the forums?
Keeping track of user points for various actions on a web site does require a database of some sort. A like/dislike button would require knowledge in AJAX to call a background process like a PHP script that can update the database. And then you'll need another process that periodically goes through the database for a user and recalculate everything to make sure it's legit.
