Questions about the house points module

General

Hi,
I have started using the house points module but there are a few things I am unsure about.

Firstly is there a way to manually add students to houses? We wanted to make houses in specific way but it seems the only way to assign houses is by random. I though maybe I could adjust it in the server database but I could not find a table listing the members of the houses. Where would they be stored?

Also we would like to be able to assign negative points as a result of misbehaving but when I made a negative point value is just treats it as 0. Is there any way to keep it as the negative number?

If anyone has any idea on how to solve these issues or has any experience with this module please let me know.

Thank You,
Hamzah

Hi @Hamziatcha, thanks for your post.

You can change a student’s assigned house manually by going to User Admin → Manage Users → Edit User. There, under the Miscellaneous section, you’ll find the option to update their house. In the database, each student’s house is stored in the gibbonPerson table, linked by the gibbonHouseID to the gibbonHouse table.

Right now, the system doesn’t allow assigning negative points. But if you have some coding capacity, you might be able to add this feature by modifying the code. Hope this helps!
