Using Achievements plugin to create more posts, get members to a form and send them a gift...

I have this idea.

I want to incentivize my members to post more. (we just moved over from an old forum software to simple-press....getting loads of flak....:)....)

I was thinking, can I not use the Achievements plugin?

1-Set it up to activate or give them access to a form after X amount of posts.

2-That form will simply be a fill-in-the address sort of thing, so I can then mail them a free gift...(small booklet I wrote and some swag...)

Make sense?

How about this twist....

the Achievements will only count posts that get "Thanks" (you know, the Thank member plugin I believe) from other members or moderators....

meaning, only quality posts with proof and approval from other members (via Thanks button) will count....

make sense?

thanks

I guess the first thing to ask is does the WP Achievements plugin cater for your 1 and 2 items?

Not to sound like a four year old, which is about where Im at with this, the two items in question, is exactly what I'm asking....

can I do this?

I've not used that plugin yet. Is this a typical strategy for using it?

sorry about the confusion....R

Ah - but I do not know I am afraid. Don't forget the WP Achievements plugin is not one of ours. It is just a plugin that we have supported with an extension. The 'thanks' part is not in our extension but could, I would think, probably be added by us if needed. It is not a great plugin to extend to be honest

I have remembered, however, that I do recall someone posting on the forum suggesting that the achievements plugin had been abandoned. Perhaps it would be worth your while looking at the myCred plugin instead (also a WP plugin) to see of that does your 1 and 2. It already has some support in out extension for our thanks plugin.
