Wrong calculation of userpoints in case of points updates
>>> [!note] Migrated issue
<!-- Drupal.org comment -->
<!-- Migrated from issue #560972. -->

>>>
<p>I use the userpoints_userpointsapi to UPDATE entries in the userpoint table. </p>
<p>I know, it is recommended not to update existing entries but rather to create new ones to have a better audit track, but in my case UPDATING is necessary (A user gets points based on averagefivestar votings made on his/her content; when the average fivestar voting changes because of new votes the userpoints have to be updated)</p>
<p>When <strong>updating a userpoint entry the function _userpoints_update_cache() (called by _userpoints_transaction()) does not delivery accurate results</strong>, because it always adds the points stored in params[points]. This if fine when a new entry to the userpoint table was made but it causes wrong results if an entry is updated: </p>
<p>Example:<br>
userpoints for given user was 20 and is changed to 5. If we just add the 5 then we have 25. We have to substract the old value before!!!</p>
<p>I have a dirty bugfix, which seems to work for me. Inserted lines are commentes with "bugfix" so you just need to search the words "bugfix" to find my slight changes. </p>
