Add 200 cubepoints for Facebook like - once only. WordPress
Hi,
I use Cubepoints on my WP site, and I would like to encourage new users to also like my facebook page (http://facebook.com/dropdeadgorgeousdaily) after sign up.
To be able to do this I need to have an image/button link that when clicked will:
A) add them as a fan on my facebook page, and
B) give that logged in user 200 cubepoints.
I also want to make sure each user can only get the points once.
Here is a forum post which seems to be almost there, but I can't get it working for me.
Thanks
Kate

Romel Apuya comments:

I don't think you need access to my site for this, if you can just let me know the code to be dropped into a custom template page I am happy to test it out. thanks.

<?php

if( function_exists('cp_alterPoints') && is_user_logged_in() ){
cp_alterPoints($user_id, 200);
cp_log('sharing', $user_id, 200, "admin");
}
}
?>
<div class="sidebars">
<?php echo thesis_sidebars(); ?>
</div>
here's the code.
but this has drawback. as what the furom said.
but this code be improved if you use facebook connect together with cubepoints.
facebook connect has more control regarding facebook functionalities.
cheers.

i added a get_post_meta and update_post_meta to check and update a meta value for this user.
See you soon !
kateM82 comments:
This doesn't seem to register the points either.
Julio Potier comments:
Replace this :
if ( ($share == "YES") && (get_user_meta( $user_id, '_cp_like_fb', true ) == '') ) {
by this :
if ( (isset($_GET['share']) && $_GET['share'] == "YES") && (!get_user_meta( $user_id, '_cp_like_fb', true )) ) {
see you

I understand that, sadly I gave out a login to a stranger once and they loaded a trojan onto my site - another couple crashed it completey, so I am very wary.
I was hoping it was simple, but guess not.
Julio Potier comments:
Was it on WPQuestions ?
Because here, on 1876 questions, i never heard that kind of bad behaviour, we are real expert, not script kiddies.
Also, i'm a Web Security Consultant and i'm 32yo, not a 16yo student hacking website for fun ;)
You can trust expert from here (as least, those who won some questions and/or top experts)
So, it's not working yet ?
