Update new field in userpoints table.

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 18:55:14 +0000

Hello there.

I'm coding a new plugin. I created a new field for users in the userpoints table on my q2a site. I have to update this area for each scoring, according to the score obtained. This field will work independently from the points field. Because I will reset this field as a result of a completed task and start scoring from scratch.

How can I do that?

(I used Google Translate for translation. Sorry for the spelling mistakes.)

How to check for option without setting it with qa_opt()?

Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:36:56 +0000

I'm using qa_opt() to check if a plugin *is enabled* or not. For instance:

if( qa_opt('q2apro_pluginXX_enabled') ) { // do something }

However, I realized that every time I call qa_opt() with a value that has not been set, q2a core sets it immediately in the database.

For the example that means, value 'q2apro_pluginXX_enabled' would be written to the database, table qa_options.

Questions:

1. Is this intended behaviour?

2. If yes, what is the reason for this?

Thanks,
Kai

Bug calling qa_opt() on a not-existing option?

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:21:44 +0000

I just misspelled one of the options in one of my plugins:

qa_opt('cached_qcount');

instead of correct version:

qa_opt('cache_qcount');

The result: In the database in table qa_opt I found a newly created entry:

"cached_qcount" with value "1048576"

Can this be considered a bug?

PS: function qa_db_set_option($name, $value) can be found in qa-db-options.php

qa_opt() in non-system php file

Hello,

Is there any way to use qa_opt() function in non-system php file in plugin folder? Means I am creating one plugin which has additional php file and doesn't have any q2a module class etc but just simple php file.
