Fully integrated with vBulletin and easily integrated with third party scripts:
Many hacks allow you to specify a points system by entering the table and column for the points data. Use TABLE: user COLUMN: credits when integrating vBCredits with such hacks (note: you may need to include your table prefix with some hacks)! If you are unsure about integration - ask me!

Why is this version not the gold version yet?
vBCredits 1.4rc1 went through a long bugtesting process at the official site, and rc2 is largely bug free in its entirety. However, *it is missing most of the admin help and post/thread deletion actions are temporarily removed while I figure out how to fix them.

Footnotes:
Thank you for using vBCredits, I would be happy to hear your feedback and correct anything that comes up. For more tailored support, please indicate you have installed this hack. Use of this free hack requires that you retain the copyright line at the bottom of the forum (PM me otherwise). If you do not agree with this, please do not use vBCredits - thank you for your understanding and support!

[rjmjr69]

Sweet work. Would be nice to integrate with VbPlaza

[Darkwaltz4]

I'm not sure about vbplaza but ill look into it, I thought it had its own points system, which would make it difficult to have it use this one without modification of vbplaza

[Vegetrunks]

Oh oh! Is it compatible with future Triad³?

[Darkwaltz4]

yes, in fact i just posted in the tt thread that vbcredits will be the default setting for Triad? :) so install this on your boards now so your users will have some points to use when Triad? is released! :-p

[Deepdog009]

Darkwaltz4 can U uplink some screenshots...?;)

[Pc 1203]

Looks great. :D

// Pc Clicks Install

[subnet_rx]

This looks like exactly what I've been waiting on. I'd love to know if it integrates with vBookie. Also, if it takes making this a paid addon to make sure it works with future versions of vB and gets updated, please do it. I know my community has felt sort of empty without a cash system to use.

I'd also suggest adding a lottery. It seems like a simple addition, but many members on my board love putting money into the pool everyday to see if they win.

I'm also not sure if it has this feature, but a donate feature would be great, so that richer members could give money to poorer ones.

[Darkwaltz4]

:-p theres little use for screenshots, but ill see about adding some tomorrow if its that important...

also, ill look into the integration with vbookie. does it have an option to use an existing points hack?

edit:
i downloaded vbookie, ill put together instructions for integration tonight and post them tomorrow.

lottery/bank would be a good idea, but for the shop thing :)

donation of points is already included in this version :)

okay...apparently no vbplaza. if anyone has a copy to give me, please email me it and ill be able to take a look

[asw]

Thanks very much for this great hack.

Just installed and receive this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/auctions/public_html/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php on line 1429

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

[Darkwaltz4]

Ah, I think I forgot to highlight a row in the instructions

what you did was copy the next part for find: and then replace:

to fix, find:

//obsolete

[asw]

Ah, I think I forgot to highlight a row in the instructions

what you did was copy the next part for find: and then replace:

So I should replace $this->set_registration_defaults();

with

the ADD BELOW: code?

Thanks for responding so fast!!

[Darkwaltz4]

Sorry about the mixup, I converted my notes about file edits to the

Find:
====

stuff, and i missed highlighting that particular part.

if possible, you might want to start over with a fresh class_dm_user.php file and reapply the file edits to it. Basically, you have to undo the addition you made, and redo it correctly (which is what the previous posts instructions have you do.)

Anyway, I updated the download with the proper highlighting in the instructions file so this shouldnt happen again :-p

[asw]

That's why it's always wise to backup!

I'll reinstall sir. Thanks for your outstanding support!

[asw]

Worked like a charm!

I am sorry if I missed something but where do the members view or otherwise see their credits?

Thanks again-:up:

[Darkwaltz4]

:) let me know how it goes, if you want me to fix up the file for you, check your PMs

instruction file problem, again this has been clarified in the download, so it doesnt look like the ADD BELOW block from the selection above it anymore.

[Darkwaltz4]

Users can see their credits in their postbits and profiles if you have set the option to yes in the vBulletin Options screen under vBCredits Global Settings.

If you have altered your postbits or profiles and would like to include the credits, the variables are $vbphrase['credits'] for the word, and for the value is $post['credits'] for posts, $userinfo['credits'] for profiles, and $vbulletin->userinfo['credits'] for the currently logged in user ($bbuserinfo['credits'] for templates).

Also, in the usercp is a link to Manage Credits under subscriptions, which links to credits.php, which also displays the number of credits and is also where the donation portion of the script is.

Edit: :D no problem asw, I want this to work for you as much as you do.

Well,

Most of that went over my head but I did manage to locate the area and took a screenshot.

Thanks again very much sir. :up:

[Darkwaltz4]

The automatic template edits are for the default vbulletin style. I will be making screenshots tonight, and maybe adding in more linking :-p

If you have edited postbits, to make it display, put this in the postbit template:
$vbphrase[credits]: $post[credits]

for profiles, put this in the memberinfo template
$vbphrase[credits]: $userinfo[credits]

Comes out as, for example
Credits: 100

To display your own credits to yourself in any template, use $bbuserinfo[credits]

[jasculs]

Do you have the ability to reset points if you need to?

[OS Master]

Thanks for the mod. It's the best since vBux/vBplaza. I have it installed and I'll let you know if I come across anything.

[Darkwaltz4]

you can manually edit anyone's points in the user manager in the ACP

you can also set everyone to 0 by using the tool at the bottom of the update counters screen. Just select all usergroups but dont select any award types, then make sure "Add credits to existing totals instead of starting over?" is on No. This effectively sets everyone to 0 :-p

Of course, selecting the types will reset everyone to what they should be, regardless of donations, purchases, spending, etc. (I recommend this be run once the usergroup settings are decided and you have just finished installing.)

[DS MrSinister]

Thanks Bro.. going to install now.. Now looking forward to triple triad..

Keep up the good work!

[chuchukuttie]

Awesome, looks great! Thank you.

[AzzidReign]

Wow, this looks promising! Waiting to see how this develops as well as vbplaza since that is supposedly 80+% done.

[Shazz]

This looks really good :)

[jasculs]

Installed

I will play around with it. It would be nice to have a feature where I can calculate how many points/credits people received during a specified time frame.

Also a section where users can see who has the most points on a separate page.

[subnet_rx]

Are you sure you have to do file edits? If I'm correct, vbPlaza, uCash, and iCash all did not require file edits.

[FreshFroot]

great addon! Will try it out :D

[Skyline_GT]

It would be nice to let staff to have the ability to give members extra credits if staff believe their posts are useful. Like on the top right of the postbit, it will show how many points have been given to the author of that post.

[Vesica]

I don't know if it is just me and my bad luck with plugins, but for some reason, I installed it and it shows credits in the post bit, but I can not edit the credits or manage them anywhere.

[Hornstar]

Nice work, will keep an eye on this one for sure.

[reteep]

Great idea!

I'd plan to use this system for something like that:

To honor posts in a thread - in fact that's possible with the reputation system, too, but I need seperated credits. As far as I read through here that's possible with this hack? You just have to implent some kind of button with a postback like "honor this post!" and the script is managing the points?

Cheers!

[Mecho]

That would be great if u add Screenshot or any live demo . sounds really good and useful to make users so active :D

[Jibba Jabbas]

Sounds like a brilliant hack, awaiting instructions on vbookies :D

[Vic123]

Is it compatible to ishop? Does it have an importer for icash money (otherwise all users would lose their hard earned icash money)?

If you will really develope a shop, please ensure that it has the feature that users can spend their credits purchasing real items (e.g. videogames, merchandise, etc) with form for address, email to admin with addressdata and so on. This feature has very often been requested for ishop, vbplaza and the other shopsystems.

[Capricia]

Hi there :wave:

I've just installed this hack and it looks great, I have both my postbit as well as my postbit legacy mod. and i can't for the love of god get the credits to show up in my postbit, any ideas? help?

[CMGU]

thank u very nice
excellent :up:

Install

[Capricia]

Yes i saw that one, but i'm far from being a coder, I need to know how to fit that in the postbit, I have various custom fields in my postbit and i want the credit field to fit in between them, or under them, i've toyed around using those codes but i got all these errors that's why i'm asking.

[Darkwaltz4]

hi everyone, im back, i have an update for all of you too :)

as well as the vbookie plugin, and screenshots

[projectego]

* projectego clicks install :)

[Darkwaltz4]

Okay, from everyone's feedback, I will put together a post award type of system.

I will look into some converters for icash and ishop, provided they still exist on vBulletin.org, I know a bunch of them have been abandoned and removed.... If anyone can email me a copy of these hacks I can work on conversions faster (next best thing would be phpmyadmin access to your databases...)

Also, I am still putting together what a companion shop would include, however a full-blown project purchasing system (like what vbulletin and others use for real online sales) is in the works, but will most likely not be a free hack due to the size and complexity. This is meant for using in other hacks such as vBookie (confirmed) and some other things I will release later.

Look back tomorrow for the update :) (Dont forget to update to today's v1.1 for the time being!)

Edit: Legacy or the new postbits should still show credits, as well as custom styles provided they still contain the $template_hook variable. If that is not there then the plugin cannot insert it into your postbit, and it will have to be added manually. Same goes for any custom profile edits. The instructions for manual inserts to both of them are located in this post. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1288027&postcount=20)

[kylek]

Two feature suggestions:

It would be great if it could be tied into ibproarcade for game play costs, jackpot, etc.

Also some type of a bank system where members could receive interest on their credits.

Its nice to see a new points system that is made for 3.6.7. Thanks!!

[Darkwaltz4]

I downloaded a bunch of hacks to check for integration and ill post the results and instructions tomorrow.

[AzzidReign]

I'm loving the progress here! Do you have an estimate as to how much your store will cost? And in the store, could people purchase points/credits with real money? If not, I'd like to request that feature.

[OS Master]

I have just installed version 1.1, and I love it! Hope this mod develops even more. Thanks a bunch!

[jasculs]

The updates are nice...What if you don't use the memberlist and it is inactive. Is there anyway that you can see who has the most credits then. Like a who has the most credits page or top credit statistics?

[Darkwaltz4]

Well, I figured it went perfect with the memberlist, and seeing the top lowest credit owners is kind of pointless (since legions will have 0), which means just top 10 or so.

If you can come up with more statistics other than top 10 Ill think of something standalone.

I am going to go offline and work on the next version in about a half hour, and the next update should be in about 18 hours :-p stay tuned!

everyone submit your ideas and be on the lookout for things not working.

[AzzidReign]

Some of these have already been mentioned, others not, but I thought I'd put it here since I suggested it in nexialys's thread when he was making a point system:

1) Allow people to buy the points/cash via paypal.
2) Allow people to cash out on their points/cash via paypal: set a rate via acp- every 1000 points = 1 dollar or whatever you want.
3) Allow people to donate/transfer points to other members on the site (which you've already done)
4) Integrate this with the Thanks System (e.g. receive a Thanks, get a Point) and maybe groan system (lose a point...can be abused, so IDK)
5) When a member has received so many points, they are "promoted" to another usergroup.
6) Have an option for the points/credits to expire. Such as, after x months of inactivity on the site, start having a deduction in points (which is set via ACP). Sort of like old gift cards that you would buy from circuit city. If you have it for 1 year, you start losing 5 bucks off the card after every month until all the money is gone.

Like I said, I know I already mentioned about buying points, but cashing in on points would be great because it would be nice to give back to my community if they work hard :P

I know I'm prolly asking a ton, so I'm sorry. I know you PM'ed me about the paid version, but I'm willing to pay more depending on how much the paid version is, if these options are put into place.

[PixelFx]

An additional note, Dark and I have a support section setup for all hacks we're working on, which I'll be able to do an extra line of support should people be interested. He and I are still putting things together, so feedback here on on our site, would be greatly appeciated :D Example: vBCredits, Attechment Limiter, Triad3, vbTopSites, vBTracker etc :D

PixelFX Scripts (http://www.pixelfxstudios.ca/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=36)

I've been very busy scuba diving the last 3 days so haven't been able to get in till now... ;)

Some of the ideas john and I have been kicking around, would be things like making it possible to do systems or models like, say rappelz online etc, through your site, if you ran gaming servers and other. The skys the limits for what john and I can make between us other than time. but thats normal :D

[aceofspades]

Wub Wub Wub you rock dude. Installed.

Edit: One question though, id like to change the maths involved in displaying the end point result in the member list, postbit etc. Where should i be looking if i wanted to do that, the product?

Hmm, I don't think you should be able to cash out points and convert them to money. That could create spam problems for a board, not to mention that if you combine this with the vBookie hack, it could be illegal. As far as the paypal for points, maybe that could be done through one of the many paypal hacks available here.

I'd like to thank Darkwaltz for getting the vbookie plugin done. I like how this is progressing.

There has been an error confirmed with the fresh install, i have a fix, and I'll update it, but it is just a holdover until i get the new version ready to my liking to call it updated.

IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ABOVE ERROR, DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT AGAIN AND IMPORT THE PRODUCT AGAIN (you dont have to do anything else if you followed those directions earlier)

This should have only happened to users who fresh installed 1.1 (not upgraded from 1.0)

[Splinter77]

ok aspect fix yours.
But between how much time I must wait for?

[Darkwaltz4]

I updated the 1.1 code with the fix, you can download it now. what I meant was I won't put up 1.2 until I'm done with it :-p

Discussion of paid addons out in the open at vborg is against the rules so I cant really say anything here, but I can in PM (or email) :)

cashing out sounds really exploitable, although it could work if you were stringent about where and what points you granted (so an actvity credit would be difficult to spam)

I still have to look into what kind of addons I could make with hacks that dont already allow integration (let alone even use a) points system. I was looking into the arcades, but I need some ideas of what roles the points should play. same thing with the thank you hack.

Your last two - will consider.

Wub Wub Wub you rock dude. Installed.

Edit: One question though, id like to change the maths involved in displaying the end point result in the member list, postbit etc. Where should i be looking if i wanted to do that, the product?

New version 1.2 there are some new features with that which I will announce with the release later., and includes a plugin which you can edit to change any display things.

thakyou man ;)

[Darkwaltz4]

Gottcha, did you get an error when you imported the product?

There was an error with fresh installs which was corrected in the download (you need to download the new version and upload the product again).

aceofspades, still trying to see whats wrong with yours, did you perhaps forget to import the product file?

Splinter, how is your fix going? Edit: okay good I see it is working :) But it is not showing up in your postbit, so you will have to add it manually if you would like. see this post. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1288027&postcount=20)

[aceofspades]

Heh no i def got the product on there.

vBCredits 1.1 An integrated points system by Darkwaltz4 [blackwaltz4@msn.com] that enables users to gain credits six different ways and can be utilized by third party applications. Contact for information on paypal and subscription addons, or branding removal.

The messages are getting posted despite the database error, but the points are a stuck at 0. Is there anything i can try? I can pm you a link to my board if it will help.

[Gottcha]

Gottcha, did you get an error when you imported the product?

yes ... i didn get an original sql error and the read that the new download fixed it ... i redownloaded and installed with no success

[PixelFx]

I'm testing it on our official site in a moment.. see if I can reproduce any issues your having,

[Darkwaltz4]

okay, capricia's problem has been resolved :)

Gottcha
check your vBCredits global settings, make sure 'Display credits publicly' is set to yes.

aceofspades
Uninstall the credits product (not the file edits) and then Import the product file from the top post.

[alessai]

same error with aceofspades for 1.0 ill try to install the other one 1.1 >>> itried it in the localhost

put please please i need the top 10 feature (Important)

[Darkwaltz4]

alessai
did you get the error with a clean install of 1.1 or when overwriting 1.0?

also for now you can display credits in the memberlist, and order by them, to display Top as much as you want :)

[alessai]

:) didnt install 1.1 yet... i got the error when itried to install 1.0... ill try 1.1 now and i hope it works fine

I just tried doing the file edits again but i get the same result :(. Does the database error not give any clues about the cause of the problem?

[Darkwaltz4]

It indicates that there was an error that was displayed when you installed/upgraded, and the value in the post/thread award amount is null. (not there)

I can look at your forum for what the problem was, can you talk on any kind of messenger, and grant me temporary admin access?

[jags2ooo]

hm mmi don't understand, Okay you get credits, What do you do with those credits?

[Darkwaltz4]

Currently there is nothing I have released which used my credits system, but I will in the near future.

Until then, this hack is compatible with many other third party scripts, and I am posting specific instructions for them as I find them :)

================================================== ===
As for aceofspades and alessai

to fix the problem, you MUST go through each and every usergroup and at least hit submit on the settings to build the usergroup cache. I will try to add something to automatically do this in the new version so it doesnt happen again, until then, you have to do this step to fix the error.

[wilburshere]

hi im getting this error when posting a new thread any ideas on fixing this ??



Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/xxxxx/public_html/test/includes/class_dm_user.php on line 110


but when i check the forum the post/thread is now there

[alessai]

problem solved :) thanx

also for now you can display credits in the memberlist, and order by them, to display Top as much as you want

how can i display it in the memberlist (it doesnt show up currently)

[Darkwaltz4]

i have identified the function to automatically build the usergroup cache on install, and it will be included in 1.2 for convenience :)

wilburshere, this sounds like an improperly performed class_dm_threadpost.php file. If possible, you may want to start with a fresh version and apply the file edits again. If this doesnt work, please PM me and we will work on it together.

to display in the memberlist, go to the global options and select "Display in memberlist"

I also notice a lot of people are missing key $template_hook variables inside their templates. Without them I cant add things via plugin, and they have to be done manually. The default vbulletin style includes them, but I guess custom style makers leave them out.

[wilburshere]

ok i will give it a whirl

its only on my test forum atm

[incurable]

I don't know if it is just me and my bad luck with plugins, but for some reason, I installed it and it shows credits in the post bit, but I can not edit the credits or manage them anywhere.

i think i have the same problem like you... :(

[Darkwaltz4]

You can edit the credits via the admincp, and you can donate them, but USING them requires third party hacks for the time being.

i am almost done with v1.2 :) its a huge update and youll forgive me to the time its taking.

[sunrise2006]

Thanks, it's great mod, I wistful from a long time for such this.

[sunrise2006]

I think if use the below code in postbit & MEMBERINFO template instead of that is exists now for this product, it's will be better.

postbit & posbit_legacy:

<if condition="$post['credits']"><div>$vbphrase[credits]: $post[credits] (<a href="credits.php?u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[donate]</a>)</div></if>

MEMBERINFO:

<if condition="$post['credits']"><div class="fieldset"><div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">$vbphrase[credits]</a>: <strong>$userinfo[credits]</strong> (<a href="credits.php?u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[donate]</a>)</div></div></if>

You cant put the follow codes on apposite place that you think.

Note: If you want to use these, in first you must to inactive the Display Credits in Postbit and Display Credits in Profile plug-ins from Plug-In Manager.

[alessai]

every thing works with me fine but it seems that it doesnt display anything in the memberlist (done every thing template change, files changes, and activate it from the global option)

[Darkwaltz4]

if they are not showing up in your templates it means the style you are using neglected to use the $template_hooks. I am thinking I should just abolish using them via plugins since nobody seems to retain them, but seems like such a waste....

anyway, you may use the template edits by sunrise2006, but modify them a little bit so they obey your settings, put them where you want them to appear in the following:

postbit / postbit_legacy
<if condition="$vbulletin->options['credits_public']"><div>$vbphrase[credits]: $post[credits] (<a href="credits.php?u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[donate]</a>)</div></if>

MEMBERINFO
<if condition="$vbulletin->options['credits_public']"><div class="fieldset"><div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">$vbphrase[credits]</a>: <strong>$userinfo[credits]</strong> (<a href="credits.php?u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[donate]</a>)</div></div></if>

[baghdad4ever]

what is the benefit of credit points??

in other way where the members use this earned points ?????

[Darkwaltz4]

I've said this before throughout the thread and at the top post:

This hack does not come with its own use for the points, but does integrate with hacks that use points. I am also planning a companion shop type system for this hack, but need more ideas. Also, I am looking into building addons for third party hacks to infuse the use of points, but again I am still taking ideas.

As of this post there is confirmed integration with vBookie and the ICash line, and I am going to include an ICash converter in the next release. There may be more hacks, so please show me them and I can find out if and how to integrate with them if it is not obvious.

[Fearlessninja]

A donation log will be nice, so that you know who you received credits from?

[Darkwaltz4]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

thats a surprise >.> it might already be done

EDIT: still adding one more surprise to 1.2 besides this one then ill release it....

[AzzidReign]

if they are not showing up in your templates it means the style you are using neglected to use the $template_hooks. I am thinking I should just abolish using them via plugins since nobody seems to retain them, but seems like such a waste....

I keep my template hooks :) Just thought you should know that someone actually keeps em :P

[jahshaka]

hi,

awesome mod and well needed!

any big differences in the install process for 1.2 ? I was going to install this today but i can wait a few more days... then again if it may take you a while longer and the upgrade is simple i can star with whats here now.

[PixelFx]

I have our offical support forums setup for this script here, as a side note... >>>> (http://www.pixelfxstudios.ca/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=41)

we'll be updating links in v1.2, but doing our best to support this script on vbulletin.org and our main site. Also I hope to get some shots of our other vbcredit systems, and scripts as well like triad3 for those intersted, in the near future :D

[Darkwaltz4]

actually as it is turning out the upgrade process should be pretty painless, only like 1 or 2 extra file edits if you are already using 1.1

[bollie]

I can see somewhere a list, how many points members have ?

[Vegetrunks]

Donation done!
Good work Darkwalz :)

[Darkwaltz4]

you can see how many points members have on the memberlist or on the postbits and profiles if you have set the public option to yes and your style has $template_hook variables. If not, you have to add in the lines which is explained a couple times throughout the thread.

[njoker555]

any way to give points per character? that would be a lot more convenient

thanks for the mod, the first cashmod that actually worked without giving me any other problems :D << clicks install

edit: having some issues - on my template, Silver & Red - the point count isnt showing in their posts - but in the default one it shows but its kinda messed up, how can i fix that? - the link is www.gamers-forum.com if u want to see it

[bollie]

i use https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=148045

[njoker555]

i thought i was able to alter the amount of GFP for the person via admincp and viewing their profile there, but im not seeing an option for that :/

[Darkwaltz4]

The 1.2 instructions will contain manual instructions for adding in missing template stuff, until then use that post.

you can edit the amount of credits in the user editor in the ACP (provided you made the admincp/user.php edit as per the instructions)

I am considering a per-character thing for each post, except it is extremely exploitable, even in principle. feel free to discuss.

[subnet_rx]

The whole thing is exploitable really unless governed by someone. You can spam posts, new threads, and sign up bogus referrals to get money. I usually give 1 cent per post character, and already say that it's a violation to post full articles, texts, or other copyrighted content.

Also, when you delete your post or thread, does this take the money back?

[Darkwaltz4]

1.2 includes settable delete options (so you could even punish usergroups if something they posted was deleted :-p)

these options are somewhat difficult because there are multiple areas where delete occurs. for instance, do i fire it when a post is soft or hard deleted? what if a soft delete is undeleted? do i give it back? plus there are areas where post management is done en masse, such as with inline moderation, which skips the datamanagers entirely... so, the bottom line, just means more file modifications for you all to perform when installing :D

I say per-character is even harder because i have to deal with people editing their posts and bbcode tags and such. so i think if i implement it it will only be for when you first post, but then someone can copy/paste a huge block of text, and then edit it to something normal when they are done >.> like i said, its particularly easy to exploit per-character.

sorry for the wait on 1.2, there are a whole host of major additions to it which i think will please everyone.

[Fearlessninja]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

thats a surprise >.> it might already be done

EDIT: still adding one more surprise to 1.2 besides this one then ill release it....

Haha, my bad, sorry, good work!

[EvilKitty]

I'll give this a look once 1.2 is released.

[Darkwaltz4]

perhaps you guys want to hit install so you get the update email i send out? :-p

[njoker555]

The 1.2 instructions will contain manual instructions for adding in missing template stuff, until then use that post.

you can edit the amount of credits in the user editor in the ACP (provided you made the admincp/user.php edit as per the instructions)

I am considering a per-character thing for each post, except it is extremely exploitable, even in principle. feel free to discuss.

yea i did edit the user.php file but i dont see anywhere regarding that :/ im about to go check again to see that its there for sure and see what happens.

looking forward to 1.2 instructions and the characters per post inst extremely needed for me, if it is "extremely" exploitable

[Darkwaltz4]

in the ACP user editor contains the credits for each use, you can edit them there.

ill add in per character then, hope to have it out by tonight

[DeMiNe0]

Installed even though i haven't installed this yet. I can't wait for the update. Awsome job. Im not sure if there is a way to do this yet, but can you make, it so that you can assign a usergroup to give and take points?

[Darkwaltz4]

give and take via what manner? in 1.1 whoever can edit users via the control panel can edit, but in 1.2 there is a setting for this to allow it via the posts.

[DeMiNe0]

I would really like it via posts, as i would like my moderators to be able to give and take points as well, and not just admins.

Edit: any idea when you'll be releasing 1.2? Should i install it now, then upgrade?

[njoker555]

i got it now im stupid, i uploaded the changed user.php in the main folder, so the old one was stil in the admin cp lol, i see it now, thanks :D

still waiting for the 1.2 to help me fix in my other tempaltes :) thanks!

[subnet_rx]

Catch it on the soft deletes for sure. If moderation is being performed on enough posts that it would significantly affect a user's credit balance, then they may need some infraction points. As far as per character, that's not that important to me personally.

[Darkwaltz4]

ETA for 1.2 is tonight :) not sure about exact number of hours though

EDIT: innocent whistling

[fizzleboink]

Looking forward to that 1.2 release. :)

I will install this hack tomorrow if everything looks ok. I will be integrating iShop as well. If I run into any problems I'll let you guys know.

[Gottcha]

working beautifully ... great job and cant wait for future addons

[OS Master]

Notified of 1.2. Installing and I will notify you of any bugs...

[DeMiNe0]

Works REALLY well!!

Is there a way to have a PM sent when Points are awarded or taken from a user as well from the postbit?

And am i able to put the postbit ajax Take/Give points link in the users profile as well?

[fizzleboink]

Installed on 3.6.7 and it works great. Integrates with IShop no problem too.

[Darkwaltz4]

Actually it is not meant for use on the profiles, but I might look into it for future versions.

Glad everyone is happy with it :)

[DeMiNe0]

Hmmm. i have that set up, and it doesn't seem to be sending PM's.

Also, do you have AIM/MSN? I'm working on an addon to credits.php to make a way to give/take points from the member profile, and would like some help on it. I'm pretty beginner when it comes to php. I've got somthing going, but im having a problem getting ID's i think.


Edit: Ok, my mistake :). The PM does go through, but you are not notified of the PM and does not display that you have new PM's. Could be an odd caching problem on my end though. I'm gona check out your PM code. I'm assuming your using the DM for PM sending?

[DeMiNe0]

Well i'm more or less trying to figure out a way to give points to a user without actually having to reward a post. I have users who don't post on the site, but do alot of other really helpful things for us, that i would like to give points to. Then they can buy items that represent actual items in a game through the shop.

[DeMiNe0]

BTW, You could try using this code in place of your current PM code. I replaced it in my credits.php and it seems to notify me now.

$dsender = $db->query_first("SELECT userid, username FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->options['credits_pmid']);
$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $dsender['userid']);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', $dsender['username']);
$pmdm->set_info('receipt', false);
$pmdm->set_info('savecopy', false);
$pmdm->overridequota = true; // Force pm send even if recipient's mailbox is full
$pmdm->set('title', $vbphrase['credits_pm_post_subject']);
$pmdm->set('message', construct_phrase($vbphrase['credits_pm_post_body'], $userinfo['username'], vb_number_format(( $vbulletin->GPC['dir'] == 'pos' ? 1 : -1 ) * $vbulletin->GPC['amount'], $vbulletin->options['credits_decimals']), $vbphrase['credits'], ( $vbulletin->GPC['anonymous'] ? $vbphrase['anonymous'] : $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] ), fetch_censored_text($vbulletin->GPC['reason']), $vbphrase['credits_log']));
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$pmdm->set('allowsmilie', true);
$pmdm->set_recipients($userinfo['username'], $permissions);
$pmdm->save();

[Darkwaltz4]

Well what you basically did was stick in quotaoverride, which indicates the reason you didnt get any PMs -- the userid you specified to send the alert PMs must have run out of room. I wanted to kind of obey that but I guess it wouldnt hurt to change it to that.

Also, in the usercp you can edit user credits directly in the user editor.

You might have some trouble with adding it to the profile because the control for it is tied to the posts. Like I said I will look into it for the next release.

[DeMiNe0]

Problem is, i have moderators who can't access that, that i would like to be able to be able to have them give points to users who don't post often.

[Darkwaltz4]

For the time being you could grant your moderators large amounts of credits which they could then go and donate to the other users?

[cheat-master30]

For some reason, the donate part does not work. The gaining of credits via posts, activity, etc works fine though. Any fix to that?

[cheat-master30]

Fixed when I uploaded the new version of the donating page...

[Darkwaltz4]

:D glad to help!

[DeMiNe0]

Then the problem is, they can't take credits away :P Thats a really important part of this addon im trying to develop.

Let me give you a better image of what im doing. I run a 300 person World of Warcraft Guild. Instead of using a convential DKP(A type of points system many games use). I'm trying to make my own Point system.

Users are rewarded for signing up on the website, referring other members, posting ect. But points are also given and taken based on what these players do in game. For example, if they do something helpful, a moderator will give them points. If the member does somthing bad (like harrass a member, or miss an event) they take points away. I'm the only person who has admincp access, and too many point edits need to be made when I am not on.

I'm basicly trying to make credits.php?p=POSTID work like credits.php?u=USERID. I made a new if statement to add the ?u in. Doesn't need any ajax or anything. I've allready started working on it, but i've ran into a few problems, with points not being updated, and ID variables not being passed.

[sunrise2006]

Wow, Thanks for this update, it's very good, peradventure when I browse this mod to offer some possibilities such as "earn per character" and "PM alert when received point from anyone" that I see the new version is released and I very happed.
I will go to translate it to Persian and update on my board.

[Milad]

If I install it, will it calculate the credits based on previous posts threads etc?

[Darkwaltz4]

Yes, use the tool at the bottom of the update counters screen.

[cheat-master30]

If I install it, will it calculate the credits based on previous posts threads etc?

You can update it to do that in the Admin CP I think. Otherwise my credits total on my forum without enhancement would not currently be 186,971 when I just implemented it today.

[moonray]

Hi,
Everything is working great and I love this hack. I have even disabled the built in reputation system in favor of this.

However, after upgrading to v1.2, I get this error when I delete a thread:
Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:

UPDATE vb_user SET
credits = CASE WHEN userid IN (0,1) THEN credits + -2.285
, posts = CASE WHEN userid IN (0,1) AND posts > 1 THEN posts - 1
ELSE 0 END
WHERE userid IN (0,1);

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' posts = CASE WHEN userid IN (0,1) AND posts > 1 THEN posts - 1
ELSE 0 END
' at line 3
Error Number : 1064

I have only changed the credits awarded for each action (+2 for thread, +0.03 per character of post and - for thread deletion). Even with the default credits value, when a thread is deleted, the author gets to keep the 'credits per character', or am I mistaken?

That may be reason for this, but I appreciate any help with this.

Thank you!

[Darkwaltz4]

no, credits per character is also taken into account, but i will check whats up with that error :)

Everyone using 1.2, please make this set of edits:

in functions_databuild.php, find all of the following (appears three times):

//obsolete

This will fix the deletion queries, sorry about that.
Updated the first post and the download.

Also, yes when posts/threads get deleted it detracts the character credit as well as applying the Deletion Post/Thread credit (typically negative). Also, when undeleting the perchar credit is returned and the posting credit is applied again.

[aycan555]

Thank you verry verry much for this mod i was realy need this mod :)
Please could you integrate this with the vissionscripts hidemod? when users recieve thanks gets credits? also can you do it like this:
hiden content here
to view the content users need to pay 20 credit? to pay the credit there will be link like thank you buttons says: Sen 20 credit to user...

Can we do like this?

Thank you verrry much... I was really looking this mod for months...

[Darkwaltz4]

glad you like it :)

good news:
version 1.3 is under way, and with it - plugin hooks :)

whats that mean? addons for this and other hacks, such as infusing credits with scripts that dont normally use credits, such as the hidemod above.

if you are just getting here and you have NOT patched your 1.2, please do the edit on this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1292325&postcount=137). Please note that if you just downloaded the hack within 2 hours ago, you dont need to patch anything, its already been fixed.

EDIT:
I have created a new converter for vbbux to vbcredits! It is located in the complementary/converters/ folder. Upload vbbuxplaza_to_vbcredits.php to your admincp and run it. It requires the newest versions of both hacks and allows the option to use both the onhand and bank credits.

I am looking at converters for other points systems as well as integratable hacks (I am looking at the arcade systems right now) which should be out before 1.3

[yingzhou]

Thank you for the fix. My forum is on the way. Thanks.

I think we should have some option in the ACP like: Admin donate to someone, Reset all the credit, the Bank ...

[moonray]

no, credits per character is also taken into account, but i will check whats up with that error :)

Thank you Darkwaltz, I appreciate your support on this. I have made the modification suggested and all looks fine now :)

[jasculs]

The points per character has already been an awesome idea. I am running a contest that is based on points and they can only get points by posting a thread or by how many characters they post. It actually helps them to make better quality posts because usually the more someone writes the more thought they put into it.

Thanks

I nominated this for mod of the month

[alessai]

hiden content here
to view the content users need to pay 20 credit? to pay the credit there will be link like thank you buttons says: Sen 20 credit to user...


great idea

[AzzidReign]

Maybe a way to integrate the points in with this as well:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150751

Everytime someone "diggs" your topic, you get so many points.

Same goes for the Thanks hack. Receiving thanks = getting points and maybe even giving x number of thanks you get so many points...yes, it can be abused I guess, but I'm trying to encourage my users to start thanking...so idk.

[Mum]

It would be great if it could be tied into ibproarcade for game play costs, jackpot, etc.I am looking forward to it for this, and will keep an eye out for when it's done. Looks great!

[AzzidReign]

I hate to say this but, I couldn't get this to show up in the postbit. All other spots show up. Yes, I have the proper hook in the postbit...the posbit is pretty much the default postbit with very little code change to it.

Even the default skin doesn't have the credits showing up in the postbit. Here's a link to a thread on the default skin:
Here (http://www.layeredgfx.com/forums/layered-gfx-announcements/1983-cash-point-credit-system-installed.html?styleid=1#post15036)

My guess is you have some overlapping plugins going on.

If this is the case, I can help configure them so everyone plays nice :-p

Its the thank you hack Template Hook Fix for vb 3.6.7.. if you disable it will show up.. Something i just figure out my self.. Not sure how to fix it so i can have both running..

[Darkwaltz4]

the postbit plugin uses the template hook variable -- the only one which doesnt reset when it moves to the next postbit, so it stacks............


let me try something, be right back with a fix for both of you.

[AzzidReign]

Thanks Darkwalktz4!

[Atwal]

this hack is great u should try to get a feature added to it

the thank you hack would be fantastic with this like u get a certain amount of credits for each thank you button instead of the reputation thing that it currently has

[AzzidReign]

Couldn't get it to work Dark :( You can view that link again to see it doesn't work on default.

[Darkwaltz4]

Okay, I downloaded and installed the Thank You Hack. The problem is the patch, which unfortunately will be there until 3.6.8, so, to fix (this is confirmed to work :))

//obsolete

v1.3 will have this update in it. also, this will work on boards without the thankyou hack, and without the thankyou hack's patch either (so it can only be a positive fix) will also work when vb upgrades, but will probably get all the extra ceaning code out

[rainyleaves]

Awesome mod!!!
Thanks :)

[carlt]

Dark,
Thanks for the mod. I know it will be a big help on my forum.

I had a few minor issues after the install and was hoping for some help:)

Just to give you an idea on a 1-10 scale my coding is at about 2 and one of the points might be because I am grading myself:D

The questions I have:

Where do I go to change the credit settings?
How can I get the credits to show in the postbit(I noticed the post but not sure how/where to insert just want it below the post count)?
Not able to sort by credits in memberlist, how can I fix that?


Again thanks for the mod and any help you can give on it.

Is 1.3 going to have the ability to reward points via profile? (Or atleast another way to award points other then posts and admincp?) The guys who actually pay for the board are making me install the broken vbplaza because there moderators can't give and take points to users who dont post. Help me!! I don't wanna switch lol! :P

I've been trying to figure out how to copy the entire block of code that controls the giving/taking a points based on the user who owns the postid that is passed in the URL, so that it uses a userid that is passed in the URL instead, but i've failed so far.

All i really need to do is be able to use something like credits.php?u=USERID to reward points.

[AzzidReign]

Okay, I downloaded and installed the Thank You Hack. The problem is the patch, which unfortunately will be there until 3.6.8, so, to fix (this is confirmed to work :))

Edit the "Display Credits in Postbit" plugin
Change Hook Location to: postbit_display_start
Change execution order to: 100

Change code to this:

if ($this->registry->options['credits_public'])
{
$credits_this = array($post['postid'], $post['userid'], vb_number_format($post['credits'], $this->registry->options['credits_decimals']));
//clear out postbit if it contains this again. other hacks can take care of their own stuff themselves.
$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right'] = str_replace('<div><a href="credits.php?u=' . $GLOBALS['credits_last'][1] . '">' . $vbphrase['credits'] . '</a>: <span id="cdt_' . $GLOBALS['credits_last'][0] . '_' . $GLOBALS['credits_last'][1] . '">' . $GLOBALS['credits_last'][2] . '</span></div>', '', $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right']) . '<div><a href="credits.php?u=' . $credits_this[1] . '">' . $vbphrase['credits'] . '</a>: <span id="cdt_' . $credits_this[0] . '_' . $credits_this[1] . '">' . $credits_this[2] . '</span></div>';
$GLOBALS['credits_last'] = $credits_this;
}


v1.3 will have this update in it. also, this will work on boards without the thankyou hack, and without the thankyou hack's patch either (so it can only be a positive fix) will also work when vb upgrades, but will probably get all the extra ceaning code out
Works great! Thanks!

[Darkwaltz4]

Dark,
Thanks for the mod. I know it will be a big help on my forum.

I had a few minor issues after the install and was hoping for some help:)

Just to give you an idea on a 1-10 scale my coding is at about 2 and one of the points might be because I am grading myself:D

The questions I have:

Where do I go to change the credit settings?
How can I get the credits to show in the postbit(I noticed the post but not sure how/where to insert just want it below the post count)?
Not able to sort by credits in memberlist, how can I fix that?


Again thanks for the mod and any help you can give on it.

In the usergroup editor.
If they are not showing up in the postbit, first follow the footnote directions in the Instructions.txt file, and then the patch I just posted.
Do they appear in the memberlist, but not sort by them? Did you edit the memberlist file per the instructions?

I will see what I can get you patchwise, check back soon. You really dont want vbplaza (at least in the current state it is in). I have it installed for testing purposes, and it doesnt use the vb cleaning methods, which is why it was removed for XSS vulnerability

Works great! Thanks!

:D what about you, DS MrSinister?


Also, now that I have the Thank You Hack installed, I went ahead and made a Thank You Hack addon. Will post it in a bit along with other things.

[Darkwaltz4]

Here I have a converter for Nexia Points, and an addon for the Post Thank You Hack!

To use, upload the nexia_to_vbcredits.php to the admincp folder and run it

and import the product product-credits_post_thanks.php, and youre done!

this post will be deleted in v1.3, and these files will be located in their respective folders in the main file. (just wanted to get these out before 1.3)

look for more addons soon. still working on the arcades. btw, i have like 3 different points systems and two arcades running :-p kinda funny.

//note, files removed and placed into main download
5, 8

[cheat-master30]

When you mean the arcades, does that mean basically integration with IB Pro Arcade and credits for high scores/tournament winning/etc? Because if so I certainly want that feature.

[Darkwaltz4]

yes, putting together ibproarcade and v3 arcade integrations :)

[PixelFx]

awesome work john :D

[carlt]

In the usergroup editor.
If they are not showing up in the postbit, first follow the footnote directions in the Instructions.txt file, and then the patch I just posted.
Do they appear in the memberlist, but not sort by them? Did you edit the memberlist file per the instructions?

Found the settings in usergroups, thank you for the help.

The credits do show up in the memberlist, it just does not allow for sorting by credits. When I click on credits it sorts by username for some reason. I checked the memberlist template changes and they look fine. I will now look at the files.

Postbit edits I am still a bit confused on will look at the code some more before inserting as I don't want to mess anything up.

[DS MrSinister]

:D what about you, DS MrSinister?




Works Great sir, thanks you so much..

[Fearlessninja]

Now a shop add-on is what this is missing and you could beat the legendary VBPlaza!

[cheat-master30]

Now a shop add-on is what this is missing and you could beat the legendary VBPlaza!

This works fine with other shop modifications like Ishop. So a shop modification probably is not needed.

[Darkwaltz4]

Beating vbplaza is kind of my ultimate goal :)

1.3 will include more features seen in other points hacks, except better :-p

[oldfan]

How could my users use their credits to gain access to special/vip forums?

thanks

Fixed the memberlist. I made a mistake in the memberlist.php file mod.. It was a bonehead error.
I had:
case 'posts':
$sqlsort = 'user.credits';
break;
Instead of:

case 'credits':
$sqlsort = 'user.credits';
break;

Living up to my 2 rating:D...Now the fun part trying to fix my postbit.

[Skyline_GT]

Great Mod, I am going to try this.

[DeMiNe0]

Awsome thanks!! BTW... I really like this hack. Where can i donate too? You really deserve it. The support on this hack has been absolutely great.

Anyway to integrate this mod with Inferno Quiz found here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83130

[SVTCobraLTD]

After installing this, when I got to post I get this error....

SVT

[Darkwaltz4]

I dont see where this is coming from, and a first from all the people who have apparently installed it. That line is a little bit past the edit, at least on what I have.

If you can, try to start over with a fresh file and apply the change to it again, keep in mind it is a replace section, not an add.

If this persists, talk to me in PM, I can get you a working copy through a chat program.

Again, another first issue. There is only one file edit to functions.php, make sure you did it properly (replace, not add the line)

On an unrelated note:

[Rodimus]

I don't know if someone has asked for this, but is it possible to enable the credit system to work ONLY in certain forums?

[Darkwaltz4]

right now, you can specify the credit system to not work in places where post count is disabled.

1.3 will include a per-forum system better than those before it.

[Ba$im]

i fix it now thanks
but when I go to manage setting from cpanel
all what I see this

can u tel me about table plz?

another thing if u don’t mind

I want show credit below user private message
on log in of user
how I do that?


thanks very much

[Darkwaltz4]

The points table is: user
The points column is: credits

i will install the pets hack and check if theres anything else you should know, and add it to the list of verified hacks :)

im not sure what you mean by where you want to display. It should already display in the navbar under quick links. if nothing seems to be appearing, read the footnotes in instruction text.

EDIT

These settings are confirmed. Added to the first post :)

[kartik786]

I dont know, I use 3.6.7, but I wouldnt doubt it. If you try it and it works, please let me know :)

also, I have a new converter for Gold! to vBCredits. this attachment will be included in the next release and removed from this post then.

Thats not what I mean.... Sorrry for not being specific. I mean features that were in the shop of VBPlaza....like User Title Change....Username Change.....ect.

[cheat-master30]

Oh. Then I'm with you, I want those features as well.

[Darkwaltz4]

my shop system will have what all of the itemshops have and more :) still putting it together, sorry....

[Chase]

Darkwaltz...

You're getting me excited with this points system! I have been waiting for something like this!

-- Can you maybe give us an idea about how long it will be until you release the shop? I don't want to install iShop then have to uninstall it.

[Chase]

And by the way...

Keep up the GREAT work!

[Mum]

I'm really wanting integration with the ipbarcade, any idea on time frame at all? Are we talking weeks or months?

[Darkwaltz4]

Hopefully days or less, the issue with ibproarcade is that most of it unlocks when you use vbbux/plaza, NOT anything else............so would require editing :-/

[jasculs]

Darkwaltz4,

The first part of the Inferno Quiz integration calls for:

File: quiz.php
================================
FIND:
--------------------------------
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
--------------------------------
REPLACE WITH:
--------------------------------
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['credits'] < $Quiz['credit_cost'])
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('credits_quiz_note nough', vb_number_format($Quiz['credit_cost'], $vbulletin->options['credits_decimals']), $vbphrase['credits'])));
}

$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET credits = credits - " . $Quiz['credit_cost'] . " WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

The code I need to find in quiz.php shows up twice. Should I replace it twice?

[Darkwaltz4]

I just checked, it only appears once for me in the quiz.php file. I used the version from the thread (2.2).

Also, good thing you showed me that, the command should be ADD BELOW NOT REPLACE WITH....so be sure to just add. updating the attachment

[jasculs]

That's weired because when I do a (Control F) to find that code it finds it twice.

In admin_quiz.php I also find this code twice using the find function in notepad:

$DB->query("delete from ".TABLE_PREFIX."quiz_submissions where sid='{$sub['sid']}'");

[oldfan]

Sounds great, thanks

thats cause he's doing Dream Weaver cs3 .. which allows for full block search and replace vs line by line editing, which most of us are used to...

;)

Both of us haven't slept much the last few days :P

[jasculs]

Well...I just added the code below each line I found anyway and it seems to be working just fine...Thanks again

[jasculs]

Hey PixelFX...this is kind of off topic...but what arcade are you using for your website...did you change the layout of it? Also is your website using vbadvanced too? I like your simple layout.

[Darkwaltz4]

jasculs:

the number of tabs and spaces in front of both lines of code differenciates them :-/

i suggest you start with fresh files and apply the changes again, this time also include the whitespace in your find/replace :-p then it should only appear once each (which is important when applying the extra lines!)

[EvilKitty]

Hey PixelFX...this is kind of off topic...but what arcade are you using for your website...did you change the layout of it? Also is your website using vbadvanced too? I like your simple layout.

I was kind of more curious about the 'activity and time on board' thing he's got going in the postbit. :p

That said, i've downloaded this, but i'll probably wait on installing until there's a store attached to it.

[PixelFx]

Hey PixelFX...this is kind of off topic...but what arcade are you using for your website...did you change the layout of it? Also is your website using vbadvanced too? I like your simple layout.

I'm using vb367 branded, cmps 3.0 rc1 branded license, v3arcade, activity hack and oh about 1000 hours of tweaking :P, our new vbcredits test site has cleaned up version of my style :D

glad you like it..

back on track... as for vBCredits Darks been slaving day in and out to get this script up to part, the new item shop when its done should blow peoples minds over time :P

[LukeFX]

Your support for other mods is un matched. I mean LivingAvatars was requested yesterday and although you spent most of the day working on the quiz intergration I was amazed to find you still intergrated LA in the same day!

MOTM, Installed & defo going to be donating some dollar this weekend!

Some more details on the Shop would be cool, how long is it off from being finished? I might wait for it rather than install iShop.

[FatalBreeze]

Great Hack!
Just one thing, i want to go give my moderators a monthly paycheck, something like 30 credits. How can i give an entire usergroup 30 credits? I tried doing that using the update counters plugin you added, but it only substracts 30 credits instead of adding them. any solution? thanks :)

[kafi]

Interesting Hack, I like it :)


here is my suggestion:

- display user rank by credits according to forums groups (design, coding, marekting) - this will give a decent way to recognize user's favorit topic and knowleadge

Thanks, keep up the good work :)

[EWGF]

Nice! :)

Didn't bother to use vbplaza, due to its security and IMO limited options. This one sounds way better. Definitly installing and nominating this hack.

[giovannicosta]

Marked as installed but not installed as there are too many file modifications instead of templates, try and get this to be fixed automatically by uploading patched files already, thanks!

[Darkwaltz4]

Thanks everyone, Im glad you all like it :D

Using the appropriate credits tool under update counters, fill it out like this:

Pick the usergroups in question, dont check any of the award types
Number of credits to use as the base of additions: amount you want to add to them all
Add credits to existing totals instead of starting over? : yes
Perform all of the transactions for each user recorded in the transaction log? : no

This effectively mass-adds an arbitrary amount to the selected usergroups. Alternatively, you could split the weekly paycheck by 7 and set it as the daily credit to that usergroup. i might add in a day counter or something :-/

Marked as installed but not installed as there are too many file modifications instead of templates, try and get this to be fixed automatically by uploading patched files already, thanks!

i think you mean plugins, and i somewhat agree. the new version is stripping out as many file edits as i can, but some I will leave as they cover a lot more ground than the plugins (such as the ones in functions_databuild.php) why? they get called a million times from different places, such as the admincp, inline moderation, editpost, all kinds of stuff, and to edit it in the main function works out much better and consistently. I dont believe I am allowed by vborg to upload entire files, and it would become obsolete in subsequent vb upgrades, and would not be properly marked with your vb license number. But thank you for clicking install so I can keep you updated when it is "fixed up a bit" :)

[Rodimus]

right now, you can specify the credit system to not work in places where post count is disabled.

1.3 will include a per-forum system better than those before it.

Thank you for your quick response. Do you have an idea when 1.3 will be available?

[Darkwaltz4]

probably another day or so. i spent yesterday making addons :-p

[Mum]

I haven't even installed this yet but have to say how impressed i am by you :) I've never seen a better coder yet!!

[PixelFx]

I've been working with dark for a few years now, he's awesome coder :D, everything this boy is working on is top quality! I'm just trying to keep up :P

[phpnewbie]

i don't know if it works with my custom style. You said in the instructions:

MISSING TEMPLATE DISPLAYS? vBCredits complies with the $template_hook system, your custom style might not...

So how can i solve it?


Do credits NOT display in the profile when the option for publicly displayed credits is on? Do the following:
Edit the template MEMBERINFO, and add this where you want them to appear: $template_hook[memberinfo_foruminfo]

Do credits NOT display in the navbar under the quick links menu? Do the following:
Edit the template navbar, and add this where you want them to appear: $template_hook[navbar_quick_links_menu_pos3]

Does the manage credits link NOT display at the bottom of the usercp? Do the following:
Edit the template USERCP_SHELL, and add this at the end of the link cells: $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]

Seem it does not work in with my case.

I can see it in the Member's list but in the post, member profile or usercp, i can't.

[SVTCobraLTD]

After installing this, when I got to post I get this error....

SVT

Forgot to upload the main file to the forums directory.

[Darkwaltz4]

phpnewbie:

did you edit the templates in those instructions and it still doesnt show up? apply the postbit fix in the top post, and check your public display settings. if still having trouble, PM me.

svtcobraltd:

glad to see you figured it out after all :D

[alessai]

:) i was thinking it will be nice if when some1 thanx a person he gets a creidt....

(not the one who clicked thanks, the poster)

:D and please when you add any other ways to get credit make it defualt value 0
:rolleyes: i have to many groups to change :p

[Darkwaltz4]

thats already been made :)

check the first post for the post thanks addon.

[FatalBreeze]

You forgot something.
you have built in the postbit a link to donate credits, but its only working on the postbit in posts, and not on private messages. I'm talking about the "Display Credits In Postbit" plugin in the showthread_postbit_create hook, and you should add one in the private_showpm_start hook.

[adc-arab]

Great mod awesome thats what i really need ^^ can u add ibProArcade as Third Party too that would be awesome thx alot

[Chase]

Once you release the shop I plan on installing the points system!

I hope you release it very soon!

[Darkwaltz4]

I am still working on a shop and ibproarcade integrations :)

one of my announcements regards the shop.

if you think the points system is good now, wait til 1.3 :-p if you thought 1.2 is a big update, 1.3 is over twice as big, and begins to beat vbplaza.

speaking of vbplaza, you can also use vbplaza while you are waiting for a shop, just set the points table to user and the column as credits. just disable the vbbux gaining methods so you dont get doubles, or use the vbbuxplaza converter on the first page.

i will be sure to fix the postbit for PMs.

once you see what john has been working on for new shop and credits... .. well lots of fun .. lol don't want to be to criptic he and I have a lot on the go. :D

[Chase]

Is the release of the shop in the range of days or weeks?

[Darkwaltz4]

Days (at most a week id say to get the initial version out). More information will be announced with the release of 1.3 regarding the shop

It's erm ... sunday today. What time on sunday (in your timezone) will it be ready?

[Mum]

It was Sunday here yesterday and i was waiting all day forgetting the time zone difference LOL

[txspaderz]

Yea, I can't wait for this release.... *so excited*

[kylek]

Well icash just was just removed as the vb.org staff announced that "This modification (ICASH) contains security vulnerabilities, and you are hereby advised to unintall this modification until such time that the author provides a fix.
-- vBorg Staff"

So thats now two in a row for me, first vbplaza then iCash. Thank the great coder Gods that we have this new points system being worked on and supported by Darkwaltz4.

Waiting patiently also so I can dump icash and install this.

Thanks!!!!

o.o oh wow, really didnt see this coming...

well, there are converters for 5 other points hacks, including ICash.

theres still 8 hours in today, making sure everything I have to annouce is top notch :)

also, I have been extra careful with security from the start, so you can be sure this hack will be around for a long time :)

Stay tuned everyone, watch your email for my update message :-p

[txspaderz]

Ohhhh yea! I can't wait...

Giggity Giggity

Yea, looks like ill be moving over to this but the file edits are really going to make me hold out and see if I can't figure out where the hell an exploit is in Icash and just fix it...theres like 4 simple plugins to where I can see no sploit... If anyone has any information on this drop me a pm please.

[Darkwaltz4]

1.3 ditches most of the file edits :) in fact, I am investigating further before I update to see if I can get rid of all them. I also am including template edits for those using TMS (and just instructions for those who arent)

What about sql injection? Does your hack protect against that?

Here's a good open source sql injection notification script that you could use:

[Darkwaltz4]

Yes, ALL input from every location is throughly cleaned before it is ever displayed or put into the database. Most of it uses the built-in cleaning capabilities of vbulletin (which is what they are there for, and many times a hack that was removed due to exploitations is because they failed to do this).

This protects it even from remotely created and executed mock pages designed to evade many frontend validations such as html attributes and javascript. #1 rule for security is never trust anything that you output, always validate it again on the side you have control over :) No variable is used unless my script was the one to define it in the same scope.

...and many times a hack that was removed due to exploitations is because they failed to do this)

Seems to be the reason that Icash has been removed, further investigation revealed that stock Icash contains a donate file which doesn't properly clean variables ;/

I'm no php coder but darkwaltz... you're makin a believer out of me. You really seem to know what your doing.

[PixelFx]

He's almost GOD Like ;)

[TR?PST?R]

Hmm what about integrating a hide-hack and having it where you can set how many credits they have to have or give to you for the hidden content to become unhidden?

[Darkwaltz4]

that is a feature for the shop addon, which i will be adding

im almost done guys :) this update is enormous and more than doubles the power of 1.2. im making everything perfect and seamless and bugtesting right now

also happy to report the plugins are being ported successfully, should hopefully be no file edits to make.

as of this post, you may all remove the file edits to all files EXCEPT functions_databuild.php. the rest are gone. will update in short time. promise! :)

[Mum]

Will ibparcade use be available soon?

Patience is a virtue

[|Jordan|]

Oh man the waiting is killing me. I've never been this excited for a vb modification before.

Dark, did you get my pm?

[Darkwaltz4]

sorry this is taking a little long.

i have it down to 3 file edits left in functions_databuild.php. they are for undelete_thread, approve_thread, and delete_thread. as plugins they have to appear in like 7 different places... now you know why i initially used file edits :)

but all for the sake of quality. thanks for your patience everyone.

arcade addons are still not ready, focusing on 1.3 right now :)
