Hi, I am currently writing an ROR application which I am looking to add user points to. I've been looking at Merit for this, but I don't know if it is going to be right for what I am looking to get out of it. The points are the main thing, but I may use the badges and rating features in the future.
The part I'm not sure of is that I want users to be able to “spend” points on the site at some point in the future. I'd like users to accumulate a points total for various actions across the site, but also to have a rolling “last 2 months” total, which could be “spent”. ie when they have been spent they would be removed from the last 2 months total but would still be shown in the total points. Also, as its rolling, if a user gains 10 points on 1st January, those 10 points will drop off on 1st March if not spent before then. I don't know if I have explained this well, but I don't think this sort of functionality is available with Merit. Has anyone with experience of this gem got any ideas as to whether this is possible? If not, how much of a job would rolling my own points system with the features above be? I have a feeling this might be a big job… So if I can use Merit or something similar that would be better. Any input anyone can give would be appreciated, Thanks, J. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
