v1.2.0 NEW 05/06/2026Built for big communities — and clearer for everyone.
This release lets XenLevel scale comfortably to very large forums, sharpens how ranks and XP are presented across your site, and fixes a notable admin-panel issue. Upgrading is seamless and changes nothing about your members' existing XP, ranks or progress.
✨ New
- **Infinite-scroll leaderboard.** The leaderboard now loads members progressively as you scroll, instead of rendering the whole list in one go. Communities with tens of thousands of members can browse the entire ranking smoothly — perfect for reaching less-active members buried deep in the list, without the heavy page loads.
- **Show Rank & XP in profiles and posts** *(optional, off by default).* A new option adds each member's leaderboard rank (#) and total XP to the stat row on their profile and under their posts.
- **Hide the native "Reaction score"** *(optional, off by default).* Handy if you've effectively replaced reactions with XP — removes the default reaction-score stat from member profiles and the post bit.
🚀 Improved
- **Compact large numbers.** Big XP totals now display in short form — `1.03M`, `145K` — so seven-figure scores stay tidy and never break the layout. The exact value is shown on hover.
- **A progress bar that tells the story.** The rank progress bar now blends from the member's current rank colour into the colour of the next rank, so where they are and where they're heading reads at a glance.
- **Smarter mobile leaderboard.** On phones, a member's personal rank card and the recent-activity feed now appear *above* the ranking list — the most useful information is visible immediately, instead of being buried under a long list.
- **Profile polish.** The level badge on member profiles is now centred within its block, plus assorted styling refinements.
🐛 Fixed
- **Admin menu could disappear after updating.** Resolved an issue where the **XenSupport** admin-panel menu — which holds your rank/tier configuration — could vanish after an update. The shared menu is now self-healing: it's automatically restored on the next install or upgrade of any XenSupport add-on, and it's no longer hidden from staff who lack the "Manage options" permission.
- **Level numbers now make sense.** Members could show a confusing "Level 15" even with only 9 ranks configured, with numbers that didn't follow XP order. A member's level now reflects their **rank's position** — configure 9 ranks and members read **Level 1–9**, in the right order.
⬆️ Upgrading
Just install over your existing version — no reconfiguration needed. Existing XP, ranks, achievements and progress are preserved. -
v1.1.2 NEW 02/06/2026
- 1.1.2
- Profile / postbit / tooltip rank badge now shows the configured tier name instead of "Level N" (resolved live from XP — never out of sync)
- Banned & deactivated members excluded from the leaderboard and from rank calculations
-
v1.1.1 NEW 30/05/2026Maintenance and integration update
Fixed
- Stamp Album: on a completed set, the "Completed" badge could overlap the set title and description. It now sits cleanly above the title and stays correct in every language. Thanks to everyone who reported it.
New
- XP economy API (balance, spend, refund): other add-ons can now use XenLevel XP as a spendable currency.
Upgrading is one click from your Add-ons page, no configuration required. -
v1.1.0 NEW 29/05/2026XenLevel 1.1.0 - Stamp Album + XP Boosters
Free upgrade for all existing customers
What's new
Stamp Album - a brand new layer of progression on top of your existing XP and achievements. Members collect stamps across themed sets, watch their album fill up, and earn bonus XP when they complete a whole set. Stamps unlock automatically based on activity (posts, reactions, XP earned, level reached) or when a linked achievement triggers. Four rarity tiers (common, rare, epic, legendary) with visual progression.
New public page at /level-album/ with one card per set + progress bars + preview tiles
Single-set page showing every stamp inside (locked vs unlocked) with criteria hints
"Set completed" celebration alert + bonus XP payout
11 starter stamps across 3 sets shipped on install, ready to use
Personal XP Boosters - a new reward type in the XP shop. Members buy a time-boxed personal multiplier and earn faster while it lasts.
Stacks intelligently with global Double-XP events (admin-configurable cap, default 4x)
Smart "extend, don't downgrade" rule on re-buy: stronger booster wins on multiplier, duration always adds up
Hourly cron quietly resets expired boosters
XP Transaction History - a new public page at /level-history/ where members can see their full earn-and-spend log. Color-coded amounts (green earn, red spend), source icons, paginated.
Admin additions
Full ACP CRUD for stamps and stamp sets (drag handles, live preview tile, status toggles)
Two new admin menu entries under XenLevel
Three new options: album master switch, stamp alert toggle, booster max-stack cap
Existing XP shop now accepts a third reward type (booster) alongside collectible and usergroup
Upgrade notes
Drop the new files over your existing install
Visit ACP > Add-ons > XenLevel, click Upgrade
The 11 seed stamps appear in your album immediately. Edit, deactivate or delete them as you like
No breaking changes to existing achievements, tiers, quests, events, or the XP shop. Your data is safe.
Behind the scenes
The Awarder now applies personal boosters on top of active Double-XP events, capped to keep things sane
Achievement unlocks now also award any linked stamps, so the two systems compose naturally
LESS premium glassmorphic design, light + dark mode, mobile responsive
Vanilla JS, no jQuery dependency, no perf hit on the hot path
Free upgrade. Enjoy. -
v1.0.1 NEW 26/05/2026XenLevel 1.0.1 - Retroactive XP backfill + bug fix
🆕 Recalculate XP for existing members
New "Recalculate XP" tool in the Admin CP under XenSupport → Recalculate XP. One click, it walks every member, computes the XP they should have based on their current post count, thread count, reactions received and the register bonus, and tops up the difference.
Built for forums that install XenLevel on a community that already has thousands of posts and likes, so existing members aren't stuck at zero XP from day one.
- Top-up only, it never removes XP.
- Idempotent, you can re-run it safely (members already at target get nothing).
- Goes through the standard XP engine, so levels, tier rewards and achievements all fire normally as members catch up.
🐛 Fixed: /level-quests/ template error
The quests page was throwing "Function intval is unknown" on some XenForo installs because intval() isn't on the templater whitelist. Swapped for the whitelisted floor() which does the same rounding job. The page loads normally again.
Drop the new files in and run the upgrade from the Admin CP.

XP Levels is exactly the kind of feature XenForo has been missing for years! A true gamification magnet that every community could wish for. Users can collect XP, participate in events, and even use an integrated shop where they can spend their XP points — whether for badges, rewards, or special events.
My community is absolutely loving this addon right now and members are far more motivated to create new threads and posts than before. I’ve only had it installed for a short time, but the community is already posting almost twice as much as before!
So it’s not just fun collecting points — it’s a real benefit for every community, especially for forums that are still trying to grow their activity and engagement.
