Bank Groups – possible?

I have pasted in a code that addresses your request. It’s based on the code in the Central Bank Account tutorial. As you can see the difference is that instead of having a pre-defined bank account ID $bank_id = 1; we will attempt to get the users Company ID.

For this example I assume each user has a custom user meta called ‘company_id’ which is the user id of the company that the user belongs to.

add_filter( 'mycred_add', 'charge_bank_account', 10, 3 );
function charge_bank_account( $reply, $request, $mycred )
{
	// Bank ID. Get users company ID (bank)
	$bank_id = get_user_meta( $request['user_id'], 'company_id', true );
	$bank_balance = $mycred->get_users_cred( $bank_id );

	// Make sure that the request is not for our bank account
	if ( $request['user_id'] == $bank_id ) return $reply;

	$amount = $request['amount'];
	// User is to lose points
	if ( $amount < 0 ) {
		// Add the points getting deducted to our bank account
		// Dont forget to turn our negative value into a positive one!
		$mycred->update_users_balance( $bank_id, abs( $amount ) );
		// Log event
		$mycred->add_to_log( $request['ref'], $bank_id, abs( $amount ), $request['entry'], $request['ref_id'], $request['data'], $request['type'] );
	}
	// User is to gain points
	else {
		// First make sure the bank is not bust
		if ( $bank_balance <= 0 ) return false;

		// Second we check if the bank is solvent
		if ( $bank_balance-$amount <= 0 ) return false;

		// If we have come this far, the bank has sufficient funds so lets deduct
		$mycred->update_users_balance( $bank_id, 0-$amount );
		// Log event
		$mycred->add_to_log( $request['ref'], $bank_id, 0-$amount, $request['entry'], $request['ref_id'], $request['data'], $request['type'] );
	}

	// Return the result
	return $reply;
}

Hi Taylor.

You are describing exactly what the above code does. Points “awarded” to users (poitive balance) is taken from the “bank account” while points lost is given back to that bank account.

It sounds to me like you are rather looking for only adding points from the bank account but if the user uses these points, they are just deducted and not handed back.

Ok so we are talking about charging the “Bank” account instead of the current users account.

In version 1.2 I have added a few new actions and filters to myCRED to give you more control over balances. One of these is the mycred_get_users_cred filter which we could use for your request to instead of returning the current users balance return the “banks” balance.

Example:

add_filter( 'mycred_get_users_cred', 'my_custom_balance', 10, 2 );
function my_custom_balance( $balance, $mycred )
{
	$bank_id = 1;
	$bank_balance = $mycred->get_users_cred( $bank_id );
	return $bank_balance;
}

This hook (in the above example) will always return the banks balance (in this case user with ID 1).

The 1.2 Beta is currently available from the plugin trunk.
