How do you gain points? Can you buy points? Can you use points as currency?

How do you gain points? should be listed elsewhere. Can you buy points? is handled in Buying points. This page is about using points including using points as currency. The Userpoints node action module is an example.

Please add more and your experience.

Userpoints Category

This bit is confusing because it is not documented so I started a child page on Userpoints Categories.

Userpoints puts everything in a default category named General. Userpoints may also create a vocabulary named Userpoints. You can add extra categories by adding terms to the Userpoints vocabulary.

When do you use categories? Good question. Categories are similar to product classes in Ubercart. You can set some settings for a group of products instead of individual products.

See the attached page for more details. Please experiment with categories and add information to the page.

Userpoints Node Action

Userpoints Node Action, http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_node_action, lets you use points to create, publish, and perform other actions on nodes. I am testing it to charge for node creation, something recently added in issue http://drupal.org/node/1200012.
