Addons [VNXF] Level System 2.0.3

Looking to boost excitement and user engagement on your forum but don't know where to start? Today, I will introduce you to the [VNXF] Level System add-on. This add-on is fully designed to Modern & Premium standards - both in its algorithms and its top-notch Glassmorphism interface - helping transform your forum into a true "Grinding Machine" and maximizing your user Retention Rate!



KEY FEATURES

1. Advanced Leveling Algorithm (XP Engine)
The system doesn't just calculate plain levels but determines levels based on Experience Points (XP) earned from actual activities. It supports 2 standard MMORPG calculation methods:

• Linear: Easy to calculate, every level requires the exact same amount of XP (e.g., Level up every 100 XP).
• Progressive: True prestige. The higher the level, the steeper the XP required to level up, truly challenging the patience of Members! Formula: BaseXP * level^multiplier.

2. Modern "Glassmorphism" Interface (Premium UI/UX)
Every design is polished down to the pixel:

• Progress Bar: Outstanding Neon Gradient design in the Postbit, creating a smooth and professional feel.
• Micro-Interactions (Glass Tooltip): When users hover over the experience bar, a Glassmorphism-style Tooltip will appear displaying "Achieved / Needed for Next Level" stats in an incredibly elegant and compact way, saving mobile screen space.
• Unique Badge System (Dynamic Badges): 10 color tiers ranging from Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum up to Divine. The higher the level, the more vibrant the Badge color!

3. Prestige Leaderboard Widget
Built-in Highest Level Members Top Widget:

• Neat and elegant circular avatar layout.
• Flexible responsive auto-scaling.
• Customizable display quantity settings within the Widget Options.

4. Admin Control Panel (Backend)
Easy to manage, transparent, and powerful:

• Interaction Log: Records every member's XP grinding transaction (Who? How much? From which post/thread/reaction?), accompanied by an awesome one-second "Clear Log" button to clean up the Database.
• Custom Title Assignment: Administrators can freely rename the display titles for each level as they wish (e.g., Level 1 - Rookie, Level 99 - Demon Lord).
• 1-on-1 Parameter Editing: You can go to User Edit in AdminCP to easily "pump" the Level or current XP % directly for a specific user.
• Total Historical XP: This storage mechanism ensures users NEVER drop XP or cheat levels whenever you change the point-earning multipliers.

USER GUIDE AND SETUP (IMPORTANT)

For the system to operate correctly after installation, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STEPS CAREFULLY.

Step 1: XP Formula Setup
After installing the Add-on, go to Options > [VNXF] Level System. Here you decide the fate of your forum's grinding difficulty:

• Award XP (Per Action): Defines the amount of XP received when posting a new thread, commenting, or receiving a Reaction.
• Max Level: Prevents out-of-this-world level spamming (Default is 100).
• Formula Type: Recommended to set as Progressive.
• Base XP: How much XP is needed for Level 2? (Recommended to set at 50 or 100).
• Multiplier: The higher this is, the harsher it gets from Level 3 onwards. (A fixed rate of 1.2 to 1.5 is recommended).

Step 2: LEVEL RESTRUCTURE (REQUIRED)
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION. The Add-on is designed with Data Safe standards. Therefore, whenever you change the 4 core parameters in Options (Formula, Max Level, Base XP, Multiplier) and hit Save, the algorithm will not be activated immediately to prevent freezing/lagging the forum if there are thousands of users online.

You must force the XenForo system to recalculate after saving the config by doing the following:

• Go to Admin CP -> VNXF Level -> Manage Levels.
• Find and click Rebuild Base XP Formula. This step will change all level point milestones in the Database.
• After that, continue to find the Rebuild All User XP command and click Run so the system scans the total points again and automatically distributes rewards/changes titles corresponding to the new formula for all Members in the Forum!
• In case you have manually edited XP and Levels for users, you must use Safe Rebuild All User XP instead of Rebuild All User XP to avoid losing your manually edited points.

Step 3: Create Widget (Optional but recommended)
Showcase your members' glory to boost engagement:

• Go to Appearance -> Widgets.
• Click Add widget -> Select [VNXF] Top Level Widget.
• Enter the number of members you want to display (e.g., 5).
• Under Display in positions, select Forum list: Sidebar or Forum list: Above nodes depending on your forum's structure. Check to see how it looks on the front-end!
