CourseCure provides the ability to add a set number of Points to a User based on Triggers. In this example, we are going to run through the steps to assign 50 Points to a User who completes the “Learning to Skydive” Course.

The first step is to create a Course. (Details on Course creation can be found in the Course Setup Overview and Course Builder articles)

—

Once you have your Course created, you can set it to assign Points to Users when they complete that Course. This will be done by setting up a Points Rule in the Points > Setup section.

The Points Rule will handle the adding of the Points.

—

The green plus icon on the top of the Points Rules section can be clicked to begin the Points creation process.

—

Set a Name for the Points Rule and click the green Apply button.

—

We have set the Rule name as “50 Points for Completing Course” in this case.

The Points Rule has a Name so the Edit Setup Rules section will appear and the various settings can be configured for this specific Points Rule.

We want this rule to assign 50 Points when a Course is completed, so the settings can be adjusted accordingly.

In the example shown below, Users will be issued 50 Points when they mark the “Learning to Skydive” Course as complete.

The blue Save or green Save & Close button can be clicked once all settings are configured.

—

The Points Rule has now been created and any Users who complete the “Learning to Skydive” Course will be issued 50 Points.

—

More details on Points can be found in the Points – Setup Overview article.

Information like their Lifetime Points, Points Redeemed, Points Remaining and more.

—

There is a corresponding shortcode for each option. Each can be used to display one Points Total or multiple shortcodes can be used together to display a Points section for Users.

In the example below, four shortcodes has been inserted into a page named “Points”.

These shortcodes will each display their corresponding info for the User.

—

The shortcodes can be inserted into any page or post and they will display the corresponding information to Users.

Lifetime Points: [wlpts_lifetime_points] – Displays the total number of Points the User has earned.

Remaining Points: [wlpts_remaining_points] – Displays the total number of Points the User has remaining.

Points Redeemed: [wlpts_redeemed_points] – Displays the total number of Points the User has redeemed.

User Points Logs: [wlpts_user_logs] – Displays a table showing the Points transactions for the User.

The look of the page or post can be designed based on your site theme.

How Do Users Redeem Points?

—

The first step is to setup Point Rules. (Details on Points Rules setup creation can be found in the Points Redemption section of the Points Setup Overview article).

—

Once you have your Points Rules created, you can allow Users to redeem their Points for items.

In this example, we are going to run through the steps to create a Redemption button for a Badge named “Night Sky”.

—

A page/post can be created on the site and Shortcodes can be inserted to display the Redemption buttons.

The Shortcodes that will display the Redemption option on the live site can be found in the Points Redemption section in the Shortcodes column.

—

Note: The Redemption URL can also be used to allow for Redemption. The Redemption URL can be found in the Points > Redemption > Click to edit Rule > Settings section.

—

Inserting the Shortcode or using the Redemption URL on a page/post will allow the User to click the button or link and run through the Redemption process.

The example below shows the Shortcode inserted into a WordPress page.

Click the blue Save/Update button and the page is all set.

—

The button will now appear on the live site and the Users can redeem their Points to be issued the corresponding Badge.
