Dynamically changing scores based on user activity.

[hcyildirim]

Hi,

I want to multiply scores based on user activity. And i can calculate if they are active or not from their point in a daily basis. (See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21092422/merit-gem-how-to-grab-a-users-points-for-a-single-day)

So when user gains a point from a rule i want to multiply this point from their activity status. Like:

score 10, to: :post_creator, on: 'comments#create', do |comment|
  if current_user.is_active?
     comment.score * 2
  end
end

How can i do that? And sorry for my bad english.
Thank you!

PS: I apologize for the other post, I do not know how I shared it twice.

Hi!

You could use a block to compute how many points should be awarded. See example from https://github.com/merit-gem/merit#examples-1. It will be something along the lines of:

ten_or_20 = lambda { | comment| comments.post_creator.is_active? ? 20 : 10 }
score ten_or_20, to: :post_creator, on: 'comments#create'

Does this solve your need? Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks, it solves my problem 😄 But i have another question, is merit works with api-only config? It doesn't work it i think.

Yay!

It should work, but you might be encountering a known issue for which there's this open PR: #297. Feel free to contribute to the discussion, and even a fix!

Closing the issue as this is not a new bug in merit, but happy to continue the conversation.
