Looking to increase user engagement and interaction on your forum but don't know how? Today, I'll introduce you to the [VNXF] Level System add-on . Designed entirely to Modern & Premium standards , both in terms of algorithms and the cutting-edge Glassmorphism interface, this add-on transforms your forum into a true "Farming Machine," maximizing user retention rates!

KEY FEATURES

1. Advanced leveling algorithm (XP Engine)

The system doesn't calculate levels based on physical experience points (XP) earned from actual activities. It supports two standard MMORPG game calculation methods:

• Linear: Easy to calculate, each level requires the same amount of XP (e.g., 100 XP equals 1 level).
• Progressive: The true level. The higher the level, the steeper the XP required to level up, challenging the Member's patience! Calculation: BaseXP * level^coefficient.

2. Modern "Glassmorphism" interface (Premium UI/UX)

Every design has been meticulously crafted down to the pixel:

• Progress Bar: The striking Neon Gradient design on Postbit creates a visually appealing and professional look.
• Micro-Interactions (Glass Tooltip): When the user hovers the mouse over the experience bar, a Glassmorphism-style tooltip will appear displaying the "Level Achieved / Next Level Needed" information in a very subtle and compact way, saving mobile space.
• The unique Dynamic Badge system: 10 tiers of colors ranging from Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum up to Divine . The higher the level, the more vibrant the badge colors!

3. Leaderboard Widget

Built-in widget for Top Members with the Highest Level:

• Avatar's layout is round, neat, and sophisticated.
• Responsive and self-adjusting.
• Set the number of widgets displayed flexibly in the Widget Options.

4. Admin Control Panel (Backend)

Easy to manage, transparent, and robust:

• Interaction Log: Records all XP farming transactions by members (Who? How much? From which post/thread/reaction?), includes a one-second Clear Log button for a super cool database cleanup.
• Custom Titles: Administrators can change the display title for each level as they wish (e.g., Level 1 - Rookie, Level 99 - Demon Lord).
• Modify 1-1 parameters: You can go to User Edit in AdminCP to directly "inject" the current XP level or percentage for a specific user easily.
• The Total Historical XP storage mechanism ensures that users will NEVER lose XP or cheat levels whenever you change the point-earning coefficients.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND SETUP (IMPORTANT)

To ensure the system functions correctly after installation, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STEPS CAREFULLY .

Step 1: Configure XP Formula Setup

After installing the add-on, go to Options > [VNXF] Level System. Here you decide the fate of your forum grinding level:

• XP (Per Action) Rewards: This section specifies the number of XP received for posting new content, commenting, or receiving Reactions.
• Max Level: Prevents spamming that could overwhelm the universe (Default 100).
• Formula Type: It should be set to Progressive .
• Base XP: How much XP is needed for level 2? (It should be 50 or 100).
• Multiplier: The higher the multiplier , the more bitter the game becomes from Level 3 onwards. (Recommended to use a fixed value of 1.2 to 1.5)

Step 2: RESTRUCTURING LEVEL (MANDATORY)

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AREA. The add-on is designed with Data Safe standards . Therefore, every time you change the 4 core parameters in Options (Formula, Max Level, Base XP, Multiplier) and click Save , the algorithm will not be activated immediately to avoid freezing/lagging the forum if there are thousands online.

You must force the Xenforo system to recalculate after saving the configuration by:

1. Go to Admin CP -> VNXF Level -> Manage Levels .
2. Find and click Rebuild Base XP Formula . This will change all level scoring benchmarks in the database.
3. Next, find the " Rebuild All User XP" command and click " Run" to have the system rescan your total points and automatically distribute rewards/titles according to the new formula to all Forum Members!
4. If you have manually adjusted the XP points and Level for a user, you must use Safe Rebuild All User XP instead of Rebuild All User XP to avoid losing the points you manually adjusted.

Step 3: Create a Widget (Optional but recommended)

Showcase member achievements to boost engagement:

1. Go to Appearance -> Widgets .
2. Click Add widget -> Select [VNXF] Top Level Widget.
3. Enter the number of members you want to display (e.g., 5).
4. In Display in positions , select Forum list: Sidebar or Forum list: Above nodes, depending on your forum structure. Test it on the interface!
