That basically sets it so everyone can use one setting and lvl 2 only can use other settings... thsi allows me to set up a add free lvl with the commision and a premium lvl without the commision.

Sorry, don't understand you, please advice more details.

I was trying to use Alpha User Points, but the component isn't working all that great for me... and it looks kinda sloppy. I uninstalled it and never intend to use it again.

With that said, I would like to see integration for earning points within the JomSocial component for posting on the phpbb forum. And to also be able to set a different point amount based upon the forum category that is posted in.

I know nothing about Joomla Development, but here's a useful link regarding 3rd party development with JomSocial's points system: http://www.jomsocial.com/documentation/ ... ity-stream

Give me the word and I'll submit the ticket!

The bridge already has activities & points integration for JomSocial.
Please check "System - JomSocial activity for p8pbb bridge" plugin.

I understand that there is already points integration, but what I'm referring to is:

I would like to be able to set a different point amount based upon the forum category that is posted in.

Please create a ticket in Support Center, I guess we can add a simple forum-points mappings in plugin settings.

There are two message systems: forum and JomSocial. `

It is possible to redirect the message system from forum to JomSocial. Id' love, if this would also work in the other direction.

I want to use only the forum pm-system. It is much better. Would it be possible to integrate such a redirection?

We need to investigate this, please create a ticket in our Support Center, so we won't forget this and will keep eyes on every day.
