Okay - i'm obviously mentally ill today.

I'm attempting to place my $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom] into my USERCP_SHELL template with no success and i know its going to be some stupid little thing, but i placed it where i assumed it to belong (And then 6 other places) with no success.

Also, i'm sure this was asked before - but there's not way to make the points retroactive, right?

Got the same problem m8

No matter were i place it i see nothing in usercp :(

I was adviced to put it here but it didnt help me </if>

I am using I bank, is it compatible? also, where it says "Manage Credits" it redirects me to the board index...how do you transfer money to someone?...visit animeblab...and see what I mean, I cannot use the features, it only adds credits...http://www.animeblab.com/

07-30-2007, 04:44 AM

You appear to have some sort of htaccess redirect going on. Are you sure you dont have some sort of list that checks if the url is "allowed"? (in this case, the non vb native credits.php file)

Also, it should be compatible with a banking system if it allows custom points table/fields, in which case the values for that are in the top post. I know IBank is compatible in this way (set the money row to credits)

07-30-2007, 07:29 AM

Do this for me bested: download the zip again, and reupload the files, and reimport the product. Then go to update counters and run the update script for all of the usergroups and settings. If there are still large values, you missed configuring a couple settings. If you still have the problem with forwarding to your index, I dont know whats going on, but if you talk to me via IM I can look at your settings and help you arrive at whats going on.

------------------------------------------------------
v3 Arcade addon is released! Has pretty much the same features as the ibproarcade addon, and you can find out more info and download the addon free RIGHT HERE (http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/showthread.php?p=319#post319). We are using v3 on our site, so you can check it out in action while youre there. We will be configuring the costs and jackpots in a few hours though. Also, we are considering a contest tied into using the addon on our site for v3 arcade which will ultimately end in a free copy of vBCredit$, but we are still working out the details, will announce then.

Now, with that out of the way....
What should I work on next? As you can assume I'm only one guy :) and theres this to update as well as the major scripts and upgrade the other addons as well. PLEASE do NOT answer that question here, instead vote on THIS POLL (http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23).

The end of the month is approaching, and just a reminder that if I make it onto the HOTM list, be sure to vote on that too :D again, would help with motivation for pumping out more scripts.

Thanks :)

Depends on if your site is on localhost or if you upload your files to your webserver through ftp. WS FTP Pro is a good ftp client for uploading your files. I'm sure members can recommend other tools as well :D You can also contact who ever is hosting your website for help on uploading files to your forum root if you don't know how.

If you are not running the latest version of vbulletin, your usercp link might be missing:

if so, add this in the USERCP_SHELL template, directly above the </table> tag at the bottom.

<tr><td class="$navclass[credits]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="credits.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[manage] $vbphrase[credits]</a></td></tr>

GekkoPixie

07-30-2007, 09:37 PM

Bested -

vBulletin doesn't host the site. That tag just means that they are using the vBulletin software for the forums. Hosting would be a monthly paid company that owns the server they are using space on. What you should do is contact an admin of that site, and ask them to take care of the issue.

If you are the one running the place, then you need to upload the unzipped files into your main (root) folder, which you can do using programs like WinSCP (my personal fave), or via the web if your host allows such a thing. If the place where your forum files is located is /forum, then that's where you would consider to be the 'root' folder.

Sounds like you might want to consider hiring or finding a coder or more knowledgeable person to help you do this stuff for you.

2) If you do NOT have TMS installed, apply the 7 Template Edits listed below. Also, if you are missing some displays, follow the directions at the very bottom.
- Please note that when you upgrade vBulletin, you will need to perform these modifications again.

What is TMS? and also can you award say "5" credits to those for making a new "post" ?

As well I would like to have them be able to use their credits on something how do I do this?

Thanks.

Darkwaltz4

07-31-2007, 09:04 AM

I linked to it in the main post. It is not required to install, just makes template editing automatic instead of manual. If you dont know what it is, you most likely dont have it installed, and you shouldnt bother installing it just for that :-p (just merely a little plus if you do)

Okay, I have a new request for a mod to be integrated with this one, and that is the Interactive Profiles modification found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150028

The features which I have people on my own forum wanting include being able to buy and donate profile styles via points, maybe using the shop add on you are working on when it releases, and I guess the usual stuff like points for being on friends lists or for commenting on profiles?

An example of a profile style is here:

http://dsultimate.net/Board/upload/member.php?u=1 (which is the Castle Bleck one released in my article here).

Just a suggestion from myself and my own forum members for something to integrate. In future, I also guess gallery scripts would be good for integration, am I right?

How can I align the Recipient text box with the Comment & Amount text boxes?

Darkwaltz4

07-31-2007, 01:37 PM

change valign to top. that is a style bug which is fixed in the next version. Also to get the Donate button on the same line you need to shrink the size of the amount input. Also fixed in next version.

NFLfbJunkie

07-31-2007, 01:43 PM

Don't quite know how to do what you just said. Can you specify for me how and where to do this? When will the next version be out?

By the way, I took a look at the Special Sneak Preview Demo and what you're doing here is totally awesome.

Thanks for the fix. One other thing, after installing the "manage credits" link in mu user control panel went under my Project Tools. How can I put it under my "miscellaneous" links in my control panel?

NFLfbJunkie

07-31-2007, 04:14 PM

How is the size of a donation amount controlled? For user groups that have this privilege, can they donate whatever amount they want? And is the amount deducted from the grantor's credits? I have tested donating credits to another user, but no credits were deducted?

Also, how would I set it where when sending a private message from the 'manage credits' page that the same window opens up and not a new window?

I gave 50 credits to a test user for their post and .05% was deducted based on the settings. The transaction report shows that 48 credits was issued, but the testuser ended up getting the entire 50 credits.

PixelFx

07-31-2007, 06:39 PM

You can change how much credits are worth in bulk or single amounts at the buttom of the vBCredits Global Settings, in the admincp - vbulletin options area.

Example: $1 = 1000 credits, and also select the currency .. example if your using paypal .. CAN US DE etc, we have more info on that page for the exact way to set it up.

You can also define for example that if someone wants 0 999 credits for day .10 cents a credit, and then say between 1000 to 2500 credits, that a user donates for could be 0.08 cents, for buying more.. the script is really flexable.

so for your question above you prob just got the script installed but haven't changed our default settings yet in that side of the hack.

I hope that helps a bit. If its bug, and your still having issues, we have a bug tracker setup on www.vbcredits.com (http://www.vbcredits.com) to report any issues, and we'll get them fixed asap. :D

NFLfbJunkie

07-31-2007, 06:47 PM

But what controls the amount that one gives or takes a way for a post? Can any amount be added/deducted?

I don't have an option in my global settings to set a currency type. I have the non-$$$ version installed.

Darkwaltz4

07-31-2007, 06:57 PM

Junkie: ignore Pixel >.<

If you used the gold coin icon in the postbit or used the award link in the profile -- you were actually giving them a bonus out of thin air.

To actually donate you do so from the manage credits screen by filling out the little form. THAT comes out of your credit count.

I gave 50 credits to a test user for their post and .05% was deducted based on the settings. The transaction report shows that 48 credits was issued, but the testuser ended up getting the entire 50 credits.

You were looking at his transaction log, not yours. When you click the credits link on a postbit and you have usergroup perms to do so (admins usually do) then you also see that person's transaction log. And if you just donated to them, youll see it the way THEY do. Click the link in the usercp to switch to your own view, and youll see it properly. Also, it will say "Now viewing XXX's credits" when looking at someone else's log.

As the for the popup -- thats vb doing that. vbcredits just sends a PM and vb does what it does. You can disable the alerts by setting 0 to the PM sender option in the global settings.

NFLfbJunkie

07-31-2007, 07:08 PM

Okay, I am a little confused still. Even if the transaction logs show a different amount, shouldn't the user I gave points to receive the amount minus the tax and not the whole amount?

Darkwaltz4

07-31-2007, 07:11 PM

Your transaction log shows how much you spent for donating, theirs will show how much they actually got (tax deducted) :)

NFLfbJunkie

07-31-2007, 07:14 PM

So how much I spent for donating doesn't really mean anything if it's not being deducted from my credits, right? If so, it seems kind of pointless donating or taking away from users for their posts. Users could definitely abuse this if they wanted to.

Darkwaltz4

07-31-2007, 07:24 PM

>.< No, there are two different systems

1) post / profile awards, through the little popup ajax menu on posts -- this is essentially admin gift

2) donations, through the manage credits screen -- this comes out of your credits

If you still dont understand, please talk to me on IM and i will walk you through the features :)

NFLfbJunkie

07-31-2007, 07:31 PM

I am understanding this a little better. The only thing that doesn't make sense is why does a post/profile award get taxed and show as such in the transaction log when this doesn't really affect anything.

Darkwaltz4

07-31-2007, 07:46 PM

It is the opposite - donations get taxed...

NFLfbJunkie

07-31-2007, 07:52 PM

Right. But when giving 50 credits to a user for their post, the transaction log shows the 50 credits that they received and the 48 credits that I gave, after the tax. So what's the purpose of knowing that what I gave (50) to a user for a post that actually for me was just giving 48 credits. I apologize if I am making something over nothing.

raiderlax

07-31-2007, 08:13 PM

and also can you award say "5" credits to those for making a new "post" ?

As well I would like to have them be able to use their credits on something how do I do this?

Thanks.j

Darkwaltz4

07-31-2007, 08:34 PM

Hmm, might be an error in the display, but should not be deducted from what the user got. All i know is im positive theres no deduction from postbit awards.

Edit posting award levels in the usergroup editor

Also, to see what to spend credits on, see the addon section for info on using it with other hacks, and I am working on some shop addon things :) see the preview in the top post.

Darkwaltz4 first I appreciate the fact you actually support your mod. Not too many developers answer as fast as you did in here, so this is a great "thumbs up" for you and an incentive for me to use this great mod. Still, before I download it and mess my board even more that it's messed with a not working ucash/ushop mod, I would like to ask you some questions and please offer me your specialized input:

I used ucash/ushop. I know it doesn't work on 3.6 and that it's not developed anymore for this. Still I have over 1000 people with their respective points. Is there a possibility I can keep in the database the points they had? So that when I install your hack this won't put them to 0 again? I don't quite fancy staying 4 hours to manually grant them the points (I did this when I installed the previous shop mod and it's not fun :)).

What would you advise me to do? I don't think you have a converter, but as a specialist you are into coding, what would you do in this case?

Thank you in advance for any tips and I appreciate the time and effort put into this mod ;)

I'm really interested in the lottery being in the new store. I don't have a lot use for letting my members get by permissions by buying their way in. I mostly used it for fun things such as gifts, buying sports icons, and the lottery.

cheat-master30

08-01-2007, 01:09 PM

I think a really nice feature for the store (as well as the lottery someone else said) would be trading in a way similar to some online games and the like, where you could choose an amount of credits to trade for an item from someone else, or trade some items of yours for some of theirs, etc. It would seriously open up a heck of a lot of possibilities.

Other things I would want are:

Integration with any forum based games (like the one you're working on at the site and the chess one), being able to get credits for winning at these games, and maybe bet credits on them?

With those, you've practically got every possible use of a fictional currency other than a casino.

yes! I have been looking for a uCash/uShop hack to make a converter from it. If you have it, could you send it to blackwaltz4@msn.com? Otherwise, I could look at your forum with it installed and come up with something. (Or if I missed it here on vborg, you can link me, lol)

Well, with the arcade addons it is kinda a casino :-p Pay to play, win the jackpot if you score high enough... Not with luck but skill, but otherwise the main concept.

Yes, the itemshop will allow you to buy stuff for others, and even allow you to integrate it with any custom thing you have going (such as if you run a gaming server and want people to be able to buy ingame items :D) more info on that later.

Wow this is a great mod...saved me from hours of headaches trying to figure out how to run contests....and I have a questions.

I'm starting a contest where points will be awarded to those who participate...

1 point per post
2 points per thread started
5 points per referral

At the end of the month, the user with the most points wins the prize.

Question...How can I find out points from date to date? ie. if i want to know who earned the most points from July 1st-July 31, How can I determine that?

Also, is it possible to clear everyone's points back to zero, for the beginning of a new contest?

Thanks a lot for this mod!

Well, it doesnt have a tracking by date because there is a LOT of credits flying around. I could technically tie it into the transaction log, but it would be overflowing very quickly.

However, you can reset everyone to zero using the mass credit updater.
Fill it out like this:
(check all usergroups) (dont check any award types)
0, no, no, as much as you want.

This resets everyone to 0

1 point per post
2 point per thread started
5 points per referral

I have all of my settings set properly on the Administrators, who i'm testing it out on to ensure it's working. I have it set to do 1 point per post, but when I (an admin) post, it bumps it up by 5 points instead of 1...why is this?

If i'm a member of 3 different usergroups, and each usergroup has x amount of points, will all of those points get add up?

I'm also unable to find the Mass credit updater...Your screenshots are a bit small :(

Do you have every other setting at zero?

Mass credit updater is in the bottom of the update counters page (yes i will be adding a box of links to these things directly in the next version)

I disabled the product and the template edits were gone ???

Did you actually check the templates for the edits? Many of the things in the templates will cease being defined and thus not appear, but it should not remove the html added unless you are using tms... i think i said that already

is possible to change the word "credits" in postbit , member info and navbar for any custom currency name?????? EX

Pakollars: (number of pakollars)

instead of

Credits: (number of credits)

Help me plz

Yep!

the phrase is in the GLOBAL group, named 'credits'. edit it to whatever youd like.

NathanLedet

Here are screenshots of my settings.

Global settings:
http://www.nathanledet.com/vbcredits/globalsettings.jpg

"Registered Users" usergroup settings: (same as Admin settings)
http://www.nathanledet.com/vbcredits/registeredusers.jpg

Also, I have large amount of points going to those who refer new users. In vbCredits, the "?" says this:

This is the award someone gets when someone else registers and says they were referred by them. Be careful with this setting because it is open to abuse by people creating many duplicate accounts to all refer to the same person. This action is detectable though.

What is the best way to detect if users are doing this?

Darkwaltz4

08-02-2007, 03:59 AM

When did you first download the zip of vbcredits?

You can detect if users do that if there are a lot of dead accounts, all referring the same person.

I downloaded 1.3 today.

One more question...Are the credits for Referrals cron based?

credits for posts show up immediately, but I created a test account with a referral and the credits have not shown up.

edit: n/m..i just remembered they have to be registered for a day first....

Darkwaltz4

08-02-2007, 04:42 AM

youre welcome iKuro, I will be linking to the credits phrase in the options for 1.4 :-p

okay, nathan lastly, run the updater, and see if the amounts remain. If so, I will need to take a look at your board for conflicts.

and yes, referrals are cron based, occur every midnight to check if requirements have been met :)
even if you make NO requirements, it still wont "count" until the cron file is run at midnight.

NathanLedet

08-02-2007, 04:47 AM

You're a great help :) I appreciate it a lot.

If the cron runs, will it add to their referral list even if the user hasn't been registered for the amount of days i set or the amount of posts i set?

Darkwaltz4

08-02-2007, 04:51 AM

the thing about vbulletin referrals, is they arent actually saved anywhere

when you go somewhere to see their referrals, they are generated right there.

so...if I wanted to have a referral bonus of any sort, I would have to make some large table scans for each and every user, each and every time I was adding credits. Since I add credits for a lot of things, it just wouldnt make sense.

So, I have to actually count and save them myself, but that goes great with the referral verification requirements to cut down on exploits :-p

Short answer: yes, vb will still show anyone who lists them as referred, but vbcredits wont count it until the requirements are met :)

1/ go to update counters at the end you wll find it (not sure if it called update countrs)
2/from groups permissions
3/ you have to disable to count of pots in it then it will autmatically disable the counting of criedts.

Is there anyway you can create an add-on for vbcredits that is similar to this. It's kind of like a fantasy league, but for the sport of mixed martial arts. Is there a way to make a general one I can use, I guess that would be easier and everyone can use it.

Here's an idea of what I'm talking about:

Um, this idea is kinda far flung. Doesn't vBookie handle this kind of concept? You should ask them to make that kind of module :-p Since there's already an addon for vBookie, this would accomplish what you want. At any rate, you are welcome to request it on my site afterwards.

Fearlessninja

08-03-2007, 06:04 PM

I have a big suggestion, and if you could forfill it, you'll make my VBulletin life for the past years of having a point system a lot easier.

Could you add some sort of system where you can mass set the point amount for a mass set of forums that the user selects. So I don't have to go through 10-20 forums and uncheck...default.

If this can be done, this would be really really helpful :)! Thanks for listening.

Now this might be a long shot, but I have RPG Inferno v3...I was wondering if there was any way to convert to use the same credits in both Inferno and everywhere else. I realize that the money code in v3 is alot different so...if thats not possible, Im requesting a converter. Someone made one for vbplaza and if you want to see it for reference, Id be more than happy to. What it does is let you pay x amount of credits/vbbux to get x amount of Inferno money.

08-04-2007, 07:35 AM

I just wanted to ask this:

What I'm looking to do is have users earn credits by how much they post, how much they refer etc... and I know this can do that, now I want them say to be able to reach 200 credits and they get a free "cup".

Now the place where I'm confused is how they can use their credits to do this.
Say they want to use their 200 credits to get this "cup" can they use it and their 200 credits will be deducted because they used them, now do I have to manually deduct them or how does this work.

What I'm trying to accomplish is that they save up their points to say use them on getting a "cup" than once they use their credits, they go away, and than they have to earn more credits to get more stuff, does this system work like this?

If their credits can't be deducted and used on something I don't really see a point to using it for me because than I could just base getting a "prize" on post count.

Thanks in advance :)

Is there a way to change one members credits without donating? Also a donate button underneath the credits in the postbit would be very useful.

Darkwaltz4

08-04-2007, 08:51 AM

Clicking the word credits goes to the donation screen for that person. You can move the link to the word donate, sure. Its just it doesnt auto donate, users with global transaction logs can view that user's transaction logs by clicking that link as well, which is why I have left it the way it is.

Also, if you have post award permissions, you can just use the post award system to give credits (and remove them!) without spending any of your own for it. also works in profiles.

I need to write a manual or something for all the same questions I keep answering

Chase

08-04-2007, 02:21 PM

Dark... in 1.4 when a person A donates credits to person B will the amount of credits from Person A be deducted for their total? This would only make sense.

It is possible, that the users get the credits after 12 hours?

For example: A user write a post. For a post he get 2 Credits. But he must wait 12 hours before he get the credits.

One thing that I would certainly like, and others may find useful, would to include a piece of text at the bottom of a post, or by the post control buttons (edit, quote, thank etc) that says "[USER] was awarded 'X' credits for this post", with 'X' being the amount of credits awarded to the poster.

People: i keep telling you, if its not showing up in usercp and youve tried everything, contact me via im so i can look at your board directly.
Just curious, was this ever corrected on these other boards, and if so, was it the same solution/problem for each one, or will we need to contact you directly each time? Just wanted to be sure there wasn't a universal solution before I bugged you with a PM.

EDIT: Well, I mentioned this on vBcredits.com, but I thought I should mention it here just in case it's helpful. I changed the hook location for the User CP Cell Creation to usercp_complete, and not only did the Manage Credit's link finally appear, but all the points from our old uCash hack attached to all the appropriate accounts. Which is weird, because before I did that, everything was at zero. Don't know if that's of any help to anyone, but didn't think it would hurt to throw it out there.

Darkwaltz4

08-06-2007, 02:11 AM

Each Infraction/Warnings must carry some minus points based on the severity of the Infraction or the Infraction points. The members who get the Infraction will loose the vBcredits according to the Infraction point.

It means you have custom postbit code displaying the Credits, missing the span around the credits which is needed when awarding or editing the post. Why? so that it updates the amount automatically :)

1.4 will require you to add in the html automatically to your templates, but the good news is you will have much better control over appearance and links :)

The only way I can get this to work is to removing the condition <if> that is wrapped around the vbCredits code.

I even installed it with TMS.

You can see the Copyright at the bottom but no joy with any of the links showing up.
How do I view the admin back end also?

Is there suposed to be a control panel?:

Darkwaltz4

08-06-2007, 08:05 PM

You probably want to put those conditionals back on, and head to the ACP

1.4 has a menubox of links, but until its released you have to change the options in the vb settings, and update your usergroups in the usergroup editor. there you can set the awards and the visibility of the links...

If you would like to help test out the new version of vBCredits, please click here (http://www.vbcredits.com/). Also, I am filling in as I am sure everything is stable, so check back often. If everything is well I will release it to the public.

Don't want to run into bugs like last time :-p

I would love to be able to turn off the credits option for particular posts. Do you think you might be able to add this in?

Why are my users being awarded huge credits 200+ for rating threads?

Also, is there a way to zero out the credits?

edit: btw, I have everything at defaults.

for particular POSTS, you could give them negative credits for that post using the award system.

yes, put 0 as the amount... as for thread rating, make sure the global option for that isnt set to muliply against the rating

Sorry, I didn't phrase that right. Is there an easy way to zero out everyone's credits?

And I did initially have that setting on for thread ratings. However, I just turned it off and still got about 250 credits for rating a thread.

yes, using the mass credit updater in the update counters page. select all groups, dont select any awards, 0, no, no :)

that seems odd. i will look at it.. if you are sure its still happening talk to me on IM so i can look at your board.

How do I set that for a particular post?

Darkwaltz4

08-08-2007, 01:05 AM

just dock their credits from that particular post using the post award system (make them lose points..)

You should turn this into a mod that costs money, and make it as good as it can be!

hey Dark! I was going around surfing some vbulletin boards for ideas for my board and I came across this thing were people can purchase items using I guess some credit system...I guess they are using Icash because someone on that board said something about Ishop....

I am somewhat new to this...but I am guessing your vbcredit is a something like an Icash maybe better I dont know...if I use your vbcredit will it work with Ishop? or thats why you are creating vbcommerce for vbcredit? is that your version of Ishop. Thanks Man, keep up the good work! About the installing what is TMS file in the instruction I just read it I am bout to install!:D

Dark you do some kinda donation thing man you seem to be on this alot...if I find it useful in the future I dont mind donating a little something :) I am not a coder but I am sure its hard work!

This system is great. Got 2 questions.
1. How can I change the word 'credits' to something else of my choice? In the instructions, it says to edit the global phrase. Where's that located at?
2. I want my members to only receive 3 credits per post in each forum. How can I do that?

Should be this week or maybe next, I'm waiting too and excited about it's release! :)

Darkwaltz, if you get tired of vb, do other coders have your permission to carry on your work? I'm not saying you will, I just worry my members come to rely on a mod that is no longer supported/working.

I have no intention of abandoning this hack.

You should turn this into a mod that costs money, and make it as good as it can be!

There are already some paid addons and branding free options and such, which helps explain why I intend to stick around :)

Yes, I am working on my own shop system.. see my site for a preview. It does work with Ishop. TMS is a template modification system... if you have it installed the templates will be edited for you, otherwise don't worry about it and just edit them yourself. Thanks for your support though :)

Phrase editor... 1.4 has a link to it in the settings, so you will find it soon if you cant yet.
Usergroup editor is where you set each usergroup their stuff for each post and thread and like 11 other things (25ish in 1.4)

when is the store being released?

Should be testing it on my site by the end of the week, and some new previews in a day or two.

I'm loving this :) Thanks Darwaltz4, will donate once I install the credits system and store to go with it if it's working properly.

This credits and store mod will help me so much its unbelievable!

I have the next problem (http://www.onone.co.il/images/11.GIF) when people enter the mode, what shuold i do to fix it?...

Darkwaltz4

08-08-2007, 08:52 AM

That is interesting, its when there are no transaction logs. I will fix it in 1.4, its a division by 0 bug for the pagenav.. Dont know why I dont get the error displayed on any of my stuff, perhaps you are using an older version of vb? :-p

edit: yes the pagenav function should drop out before the Divide by zero issue in the conditional right before it. not sure why it goes past on yours. maybe a bad perpage setting?

its nice seeing my hack being used with other languages - it makes all the irritating phrasing stuff worthwhile :)

I was wondering if i could change the name "credits" to an alternative name where ever it will show up? Is this possible, or would it envolove to much editing?

txspaderz

08-08-2007, 03:31 PM

Yes, search this thread for that information. It's been posted more than 5 times

chris1979

08-08-2007, 03:31 PM

It's a phrase, so you can change it easily. I don't have credits on my site - I have magic beans. hahaha

chris1979

08-08-2007, 03:33 PM

Is it possible for the transaction log to show how many points people have got for logging in and posting? At the moment (I think) it only shows credits people give them.

Darkwaltz4

08-08-2007, 03:43 PM

not only has it been posted in the thread endlessly, its also in the instructions you were supposed to be following when you installed.

as for the transaction log, it doesnt display any awards given because 1) there are too many awards to keep track of every single one given every time 2) several times credits are given to multiple people at once 3) your server would hate you from the giant jump in queries 4) the database table for the transaction log would expand in size faster than the points table :-p not to mention you would quickly lose track of which transaction log was referring to..

i use the transaction log for displaying the credits lost / received directly because of another person. stuff that a user might get confused about where the giant leap or loss in their credits came from

i hope this clears things up.

testing is going well for 1.4, will be released very soon.

chris1979

08-08-2007, 03:52 PM

Makes sense.

Perhaps the transaction table cost say something like:

You have got:
xx credits for logging in
xx points for posting

And the following bonuses...

xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx

etc.

What do you think?

linkasaur

08-08-2007, 04:31 PM

Thank you for this great mod. It has been a real hit with my members.

I was curious if it would ever be possible to set up a recurring bonus for particular members? Perhaps for a certain range of time, or even indefinately. Kind of like an allowance that could be controlled per user and for set periods of time.

As you can see I have added it just like the readme told me to but its still not showing...

I see it says add "$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right]" but where do I put it? Like if I wanted it just under the Gender: part

?

I installed it but can't do step 5 (Go through and set the settings for each and every usergroup to determine the credit award amounts.). I can't find anything related to vbcredits in the usergroup settings. Please help.

chris1979: i always figured it was up to the admin to post an announcement regarding the amounts of the awards, or if they wanted them hidden. Would you want your users to know what action was the most exactly lucrative? i think it would encourage bad stuff :-p

linkasaur: no... but request it on my site and I might implement it in the future

ScottRowan: then put it under

<if condition="$post['field8']"><div class="postbit_field"><span class="postbit_text">$vbphrase[gender]:</span>
$post[field8]</div></if>

bigaldizzler: possibly. i am already making one for ibank for use with the new banking system

Dmit87: you didnt upload the bitfield_credits.xml. do that, then reimport the product file again (it will rebuild your bitfields ;))

Would there be anyway to set this to regulate how many downloads a person could get in the third party mod "links and download manager"?

ex: user posts 1 time -> gets one point->Spends said one point to get one download.

I am confused...

I am paying people to post at my forums. I am paying ~$1 per 15 posts. One guy made 49 posts and he earned $4.69 and I do not increase credits for anything else than posting... How could this happen? I have checked and no forums had override options.

Help?

installed the vbcredit, looks great.
I have a question: if a member wants to buy the credit using paypal, can vbcredit support
it? I see the vbcredit "feature" description has :
"# Donations

* Can be Toggled Off
* Set a Service Fee
"

I can't figure it out how to do it. Can paypal be integrated to buy the credits?

My second question: what I need to do if I want to replace the word "Credit" with
$mydollar ?

thanks.

To change the phrase for Credits, edit the phrase 'credits'

There is a fully integrated paypal support addon which allows users to buy credits, located on my site. http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24

Hey Dark I just installed vbcredit I also wanted to change credit to some other kind of currency. I am confused as to which 'credits' phrase to change...is it in admincp or is it the template codes in the text file. If its the code in the text file I basically rename all the phrases 'credits' with whatever currency I am using correct:confused:, thanks :D

I am trying to set up a referral system, so how does one manually or automatically receive credit for referring a new member? If it's manual, where does the referee type in the user name of the referrer so they get credits?

Thanks

Set the amount you want users to get for each referral in the usergroup editor. Then set the criteria you want for a referral to count (number of days registered, postcount, etc). When someone signs up they type the name of their referral in their signup form. When the criteria is met (it gets checked every midnight) then the referrer gets the award, and the referree gets the referree bonus set in the main settings.

Do you have any plan so we could use the referrer's affiliate ID link to track who the referrer was? I think many new members are going to miss typing in the referrer's user name into the additional options when they register. If the affiliate ID was used (the referral affiliate link that a visitor clicks to enter the site), it would be a 100% success rate for the referrer and the referee wouldn't have to type any extra info.

Darkwaltz4

08-09-2007, 07:39 PM

It also works that way. WHATEVER system you use for referrals (even if its a hack I havent heard of) vbcredits will see it and act on it (at midnight)

Sorry your mod seems good, but I'll have to pass then. 60 bucks is to steep just to remove the copyright of a simple mod. But I understand your point of view and why you do this.

None of my mods have branding, but then they are not commercially geared to (and aren't supported). I personally don't like branding, but if you were to sell your points system for 10 bucks I might look into it. It's unlikely your mod ever reaches the number of installs where your branding would make a difference to sell your products, in my opinion. Not just your mod, any mod in here. I know I'm not willing to install yours or other mods that have copyright notices in it, unless they are somewhat hidden, definitely not near the Jelsoft copyright.

I'd be willing to pay for a lottery addon 10 bucks separately for instance. Anyway this is just my friendly opinion, good luck with this.

ps: oh on your install instructions you talk about file edits but there are none.

ps2: I'm not calling your mod simple, it's just the idea of a points system is a simple one.

Darkwaltz4

08-11-2007, 12:11 AM

What? This adds branding site-wide?

Most major addon hacks do this in exchange for a massively functional yet totally free product, so that others who might be interested in it may acquire it for themselves, just as freely and easily as you do. Because this hack permeates the entire board it only makes sense to do it in the least obtrusive way, much like the regular vb copyright, and you may display it the same way that you do for vb. Standalone major addons (that are confined specifically to their own page or module) generally have a more pronounced single copyright on the pages they pertain to, but vBCredits pertains to the whole forum.

did you put the .1 in 'Time credits' or 'activity credits' :-p if there was something in time credits they get that regardless of activity, in addition to what they qualified for the activity credits.

wickland

08-11-2007, 01:38 AM

I have "0" in Time Credits and ".01" in activity credits. It doesn't seem to be doing it as I reset everyone to 5 credits again (no one earned anything since my members don't seem to post). I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if everyone is getting credits for not posting.

I'll keep you updated on the situation if it continues.

Thanks

I wonder how many people even pay attention to the copyright notices at the bottom of the page. Someone should do a poll. :rolleyes: But that's neither here nor there.

ps: oh on your install instructions you talk about file edits but there are none.

Template edits, not file edits. And there are seven of them, if you don't have TMS installed.

It means you have custom postbit code displaying the Credits, missing the span around the credits which is needed when awarding or editing the post. Why? so that it updates the amount automatically :)

1.4 will require you to add in the html automatically to your templates, but the good news is you will have much better control over appearance and links :)

Well, now it's stranger then I originally thought. I didn't realize the coin was supposed to open a drop down menu. Instead, it's just links me to a page with the with content of the drop down menu. What's weird, is that the only reason I knew that is because the two other skins are working fine. And I've checked the template code line for line. It's identical. Span tags are closed, even in the source code.

Okay, okay. I'll shut up and just wait for 1.4. :erm:

Totally great mod and something I have wanted for a couple of my sites for some time....

I have a couple questions and I am also having a problem...

Question #1 - How can I mass pay everyone upon starting... I looked in the instructions and did not see anything. I don't have time to go through the entire 20 pages right now...

Question #2 - This is integratable with ICash bank or IBank or what ever... I am talking about the fairly new simple stand alone bank that is out... If this can be used with that how is integration performed? I tried before and could not figure it...

The main issue I am having is with forum manager. After installation I cannot edit any of my forums through the forum manager. Currently I have the credit system working but I have disbaled both forum credit override plug ins..

I am using 3.6.8 and a custom style. I had to do the custom edits.. Everything else works fine I believe...

Thanks again... Great mod!!

1) update counters page, bottom

2) yes, set "money row" to 'credits' for both hacks.

3) what happens when you open the forum manager? if you disabled both plugins and it still happens, it isnt my hack doing it, but i wouldnt mind looking at your acp to help you figure out what is causing it. catch me on IM

08-11-2007, 08:32 PM

Chnaces are it is something interfering and because I haven't seen anyone else having this problem agree with you that it is not your mod doing it...

What happens is if I try to edit anything in one of the forums, when I press save, instead of redirecting and saving I go to an unfound page...

I am going to try and disable a couple other mods I suspect of being the culprit and if I have no luck I will get back to you. I use the site as sort of a mod test bed and there are many, many mods installed so it doesn't surprise me that I am having an issue like this...

Thanks again for the help...

By the way, by having the forum over ride disabled I am only missing the options to edit for credit? Right? if that is the case it won't kill me really...

Unfortunatly so far I only see this mod using that plug in but I am sure it is one the mods I have.. No big deal though because I am not too worried about specific forum credits anyways....

Thanks

Darkwaltz4

08-11-2007, 09:05 PM

Catch me on IM and we can look at it. If the plugin is disabled then nothing is being inserted in that place. If you have never edited the file specifically you can upload a new admincp/forum file from your vb zip, and see if that fixes it. You edit credits on a per-usergroup basis, in the usergroup editor. the forum overrides is for specific forums :-p i am also redoing that little editor anyway but thats in 1.4

Hi,

Great Hack, thanks alot. :up:

Just one issue, and i have already tried the fixes on the earlier pages in the thread, but i cant get the 'manage credits' to apprear in the user cp.

please can you put code up and show me where to insert it.

Many thanks in advance

2nd issue now:- I have installed the V3Arcade addon, but it's not working.
I have done the file and template edits, but it will not show anything in the arcade, when i go into the ACP i can change the credit costs etc... for the games for they have no effect.
I have looked at the screenshots, it shosw smileys etc... and credit costs next to the game titles, but none of this shows in my Arcade.

Please help as its driving me nuts.

Ok, i have sorted all the arcade issues, well i think anyway?

Can you stop people playing the games if they dont have enough credit? I noticed that the credit for members can go into negative aswell, this alllows people to just keep playing and getting huge negative credit.

When i try to donate to someone, it say 'invalid amount specified', even though i have put various different amounts in.
i have done all the template edits for the style and had no luck with the 'manage credits'
I even added the seperate one that appears at the bottom of the install text.

I am using 3.6.4

Thanks

Credits only go negative for things like deleted post credits. it still checks if you have enough in the arcade, and kicks you out if you dont. it would be kinda stupid if it didnt.

are you donating to a test user which you created?

You are running an old version of vb which means your usercp plugin needs to be switched to another hook, however

you have a bunch of issues which I would rather help you with all at once by having a look at your board. talk to me on IM

Digital Jedi

08-12-2007, 11:17 PM

Ah, then that suggests you forgot to make the edit to SHOWTHREAD template (which includes the ajax JS file) to that style

And by automatically editing templates in 1.4, i meant manually >.< (assuming you dont have TMS) all of the plugin-inserting stuff was taken out and replaced with manual template edits because they are far more reliable. id say half of the issues ive had to help fix were style related - custom styles just dont usually keep the template hooks. But like I said, having to add them manually gives you better control over how they look, such as if you have to add a class to the div so it matches the rest of the style, much easier to do it in the style editor than hunting in the plugin and editing it 3 times :-/

Well, I don't know what I did to the SHOWTHREAD template. I completely nammered it. I did have the code in there, but I must have pasted it over something important, because, not only did I have it in the wrong place, but when I tried to move it, the whole thread disappeared. :eek: Good thing I had a copy.

Firstly - amazing hack. Kudos to you! :) Voted and marked!

Just one question though: I've tried to change the credits so that it only shows one decimal using the VBCredits Global Settings ("Number of Displayed Decimal Points" is set to 1), but when I check my forum, the decimal points still go like 859725.266666667 instead of the 859725.2 that I'm hoping for. Did I forget to change something? :(

Darkwaltz4

08-13-2007, 06:37 AM

Does that occur everywhere or in one place in particular? If somewhere specific please tell me where. If everywhere, mght have to check your board.

Keep in mind decimals are not removed, just hidden, so they are still there, and will always appear inside the ACP, such as the user editor.

Coraline

08-13-2007, 06:42 AM

It actually happens in all instances where I add the code for the vbcredits to show up, such as in my and other people's member profiles, postbits, etc. I'd like to keep all but one decimal place hidden, but am not quite sure how. :(

Aside from the vbCredits Global Setting, is there anywhere else I should modify?

Darkwaltz4

08-13-2007, 06:49 AM

Oh you are adding the code manually? It is best that you use the template hooks instead, 1.4 provides you with better controls for styling it on your own, but it is not publicly released yet.

Coraline

08-13-2007, 06:53 AM

I think I'm using a style system where the template hooks don't work for some reason, so am basically adding them in as I go along. Although, if the credits itself shows up accurately, shouldn't the decimal do so as well? *confused*

All I'm really doing right now is adding $post[credits] and that alone to postbit_legacy, actually.
