mycred_video

Description

This shortcode is used to embed YouTube videos via IFRAME in order to allow us to award points for users who view the video. Videos that are embedded without using this shortcode can not award points for viewing.

If you want to customize the layout of each row, you can create your own template and wrap this shortcode around it. This way, your html template will be used for each user row. Supports the use of shortcodes and user related template tags.

Requires the “Points for watching videos” hook to be enabled.

If you select to reward users using the “Interval” logic, no badges, ranks or notifications will be given to the user for watching the video! If the user gains enough points to reach a new rank / earn a badge, these will be given to the user first when they have gained points after they finished watching a video!

Users can only get points for watching videos once per video!

Available since version 1.3
