Hi all, I want to give points to users who have an account on my site, so they can redeem for digital products, I have seen the userpoint module but I see that the last update is Nov 11th, 2017, I don't know if it works with the current versions of Backdrop.
Great, willowf! Glad to help.
Yes, posting on the issue queues is the way to go. What you saw here doesn't always happen :) stpaultim and I caught an interest in this module since it was so buggy. Some old modules are not so lucky - sometimes maintainers are busy with other things, and there are no one around to fix them. It's sad, but it's the reality of open source. I have to say most "important" modules work fine in the environment.
The Backdrop community is active, and everything and anything new members can do is helpful. Ideally, you'll keep growing your skills when testing so that eventually you can provide PRs to fix things - that's the goal!
I wouldn't bet it's fully functional. There are a few issues in the queue, and B-org reports only 1 active install. Who knows, just give it a try. The maintainer is still active in the community.
I can confirm that I attempted to install this (UserPoints module) on a fresh site and got a fatal (white screen) error.
Checking to see if we can unpublish this module from backdropcms.org until it's working again.
willof, I have submitted a PR that will allow you to install the module. Can you please check it?
You'll need to patch the module BEFORE trying to enable it.

This doesn't mean that the module works, but at least you should be able to install it.

Thanks for your help
Thanks to @argiepiano, we've issued a new release of this module that addresses most of the known issues.
According to @argiepiano, you may need to completely uninstall previous versions of the module before upgrading.
Please, report any new bugs in the issue queue.
WOW! The work you’ve done is awesome. I’ve been following your progress, and the sense of community that comes across is incredible.
I’ve tested the module, and it works really well, including the rules. I’ll continue running tests today, and if I don’t find any major issues, I’ll upload it to my site. Thank you so much for your help! I’m sure many people will benefit from this module since it’s an excellent tool for interacting within communities.
P.S.: I’m not a programmer, and I’m pretty much a beginner, but I love experimenting. I’ve tried several modules, and some of them have caused issues on test sites. So, even though I can’t contribute by coding or fixing bugs directly, I’d be happy to volunteer as a beta tester to try out modules, report errors, and help clean up the available module base to prevent them from negatively affecting community projects.
I imagine the next step would be to log the issues in the repository and wait for them to be resolved, as happened this time. However, I’ve noticed that some modules haven’t been updated since 2015. If there’s anything else I can do to help, I’d be more than happy to offer my support.
