[DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe

[Darkwaltz4]

Darkwaltz4 & DragonByte Technologies are proud to present the much anticipated and long awaited [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe

Why [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe?

vBCredits II Deluxe is the evolution of the points hack that thousands of vBulletin owners have only been dreaming of. Completely rewritten to incorporate three years of requests and improvements, vBCredits II Deluxe is the pinnacle of simplicity and power for casual activity and serious ecommerce engines alike!

vBCredits II Deluxe is the most advanced and feature rich points system ever created. It is the only points system produced by the creator and coder of vBCredits v1-1.4 ? accept no substitutes from impostors.

Why vBCredits II Deluxe is an evolution of the typical points hack of the last decade

The typical points hack installs a standard column to your user table. You are stuck with it, but if you are lucky you can make it switch entirely to a different one.

While vBC2D installs a standard currency, you are free to remove it, and quickly integrate many third party currencies without any technical knowledge. The whole thing is made to be working with multiple currencies especially when they need to work together and the third parties didn't put in a way for that.

The typical points hack installs a couple actions with hardly any way to disable, modify, or add on to them. How they work is different every time.

vBC2D is built around a modular display and action system so actions come in standard formats with standard attributes. They are easy to break off or install more without bothering the main hack for updates. The standardization allows for global features to be available without the need for repeated coding, as well as exposing an API for third parties - all encouraging widespread support. It also means that no matter who made your third party actionset, the settings will automatically be consistent and support all features.

The typical points hack will just blindly add points to user accounts, leaving abuse wide open.

vBC2D records every single transaction and comes with many powerful anti fraud techniques to prevent abuse and limit their effectiveness. Not only are there several ways to qualify user actions, but also ways of obfuscating the system so it is difficult for users to come up with ways to game the system.

The typical points hack is only for earning.

vBC2D supports charging as well as earning for all actions, making the need for a companion shop optional.

The typical points hack is a cryptic mess of settings and math.

vBC2D has been organized in a linear fashion where all related items are in exactly one place. All options are fully explained and you are only ever shown what is relevant. Even advanced and uncommon settings will not be in your way - unless you specifically want to use them. The system holds your hand and it is easy to see exactly what your settings have done and quickly revert them if needed.

The typical points hack gets bloated once you've set up many options.

vBC2D was written in a way to be scalable yet maintain all of its features. A careful watch over database and code was kept to ensure the least amount of impact at all times. So far three big boards have used vBC2D for several months and reported no change in their performance.

The typical points hack is just the same old thing every few months.

vBCredits 1 was the typical points hack, and I had three years of customer support and requests to know what works and what didn't, and what everyone had wished points hacks would do but it just wasn't happening. Finally, vBC2D was written from the ground up and every single request was included in a unified, ultimate package.

I noticed it says:
vBulletin 4 Actionset:
Is this the same for VB3 too or is anything different?

also is there an importer from vbux to vbcredits yet?

[Kolektor]

Dark, the mods i have using with vBcredits like iparcade, vbookie will still work with this brand new one?

[Kolektor]

Ok. testing feedback

I am getting this error from this area: admincp/index.php?loc=credits_admin.php%3Fdo%3Dactions

whoops, yep i copied it from the vb4 thread :p all of those should work the same on vb3.8 now, but changed it nonetheless. Bonus - when/if you upgrade to vb4, you dont need to upgrade to the vb4 flavor of vbcredits II :p

Dark, the mods i have using with vBcredits like iparcade, vbookie will still work with this brand new one?

Yes, as long as you keep the default credits currency. Actionsets that integrate with the old vbc1 addons are on their way :)

How many times is it displaying? If you edit and save each display, the errors should go away. I thought I had that taken care of :p

[Sayid]

Can you please state what feature will I lose and what one will I gain when upgrading to vbcII lite from vbc v1.4 ?

[Darkwaltz4]

You gain many new actions, more ways to use them (like multipliers and limits), multiple currencies, and everything in that mini faq at the top of the description. You lose bank interest and lottery, which has been removed for addon status in the future.

[Kolektor]

How many times is it displaying? If you edit and save each display, the errors should go away. I thought I had that taken care of :p

Yes it was shown 5 times. Edit and saving it have removed it. :)

[Deimos]

Doesn't the "Deluxe" version of a product, usually mean more features, rather than less? hehe.

The lottery/bank was the main reason I installed VBCredits, so it's a little odd to see it removed.

And by addons, do you mean paid addons?

[DragonByte Tech]

=) The Deluxe version is much more feature filled than the standard vBCredits II.

There are no plans to make any addons "paid" addons - though thats not set in stone, i'd be very surprised if it was the case =). Likely those features will be added in future updates (though perhaps not to the Lite version)

I'm on 3.8.4 and I'm getting this error after what appears to be a smooth installation:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT SUM(ABS(credits_saved)) AS sum FROM vbuser;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'credits_saved' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

[Darkwaltz4]

What page do you get that on? That query does not look familiar...

[chickadee]

Every page I try and click on gives me this error now.

[SocialNetworkBuzz]

Hi John, Does this support living avatars, vbArmy, ibarcade and vBbookie?

[Darkwaltz4]

On vB3.8 all addons for vBCredits 1.x should still work so long as the default currency (credits) remains.

----------------

Thanks to everyone's great feedback and encouragement, we are proud to release vBCredits II Deluxe v1.1.0!

Highlights:
Improved currency popup with username suggest
Faster donations with additional messages
One-way fees chargeable on currency events
(pro) All events support email or PM alerts
See all, your own, or someone else's transactions
Ability to process all transactions in realtime
Over 15 more fixes, improvements, and optimizations!

Coming up in the next version: purchasing credits with PayPal+(pro), and redemption codes!
In the interim we will be focusing on integrations with many other addons, now that everyone will be happy with the core.

[markber]

If I already have an old 1.4 version of vbCredits installed, would I be able to upgrade to [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe without losing information about member credits?

[DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe and vbCredits 1.4. use the same column in the "user" MySQL table.

Thanks.

[Darkwaltz4]

It will upgrade the currencies and amounts people had, but not your settings (those have changed radically and need to be reentered). It will also upgrade from any lingering vbcII betas just fine (with your settings too)

[markber]

Thank you for your reply, Darkwaltz4!

May I ask you to elaborate a bit more about what you meant when you said "It will upgrade the currencies and amounts people had"? More specifically, does "upgrade" mean "preserve" in this case or does it mean a recalculation based on the default settings of vBCredits II?

I just would like to be 100% positive that the existing member credits will be intact after upgrading vBCredits 1.4 to vBCredits II.

Thanks for your help!

[Darkwaltz4]

It does not recalculate any totals, they are preserved as what they were, and will be the starting point users have once you set up your new events in vBCredits II Deluxe.

vBookie Actionset now available free here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/threads/1235-vBookie-Actionset?p=7001

[markber]

Thanks for your explanations, Darkwaltz4!

[W!cKeD]

Thanks :D

I need a German-Translation. :D

[ctimes]

Can we run this to update credits using the current post count etc so everyone does not start from 0?

[Darkwaltz4]

Thanks :D

I need a German-Translation. :D

I am busy lite-ifying the new 1.2.0 version which contains all of the public phrases and a bunch more admin ones, so you can begin translating as soon as you get the automatic update from here :)

Can we run this to update credits using the current post count etc so everyone does not start from 0?

Yes, go to the User Manager in vBCredits, find the users you want to update, and click show advanced options. There are the controls for recalculation - if you are unsure what to do there let me know.

[Nephalim]

why does this full version costs $30+ and the other vb credits2 full version is free?

[Darkwaltz4]

The "other" version is actually just my ancient vBCredits 1.4 version which PixelFX has taken and literally just given a new version number in an attempt to appear updated and to discredit me - no new code whatsoever (file compare the two if you don't believe me).

This vBCredits II is an entirely newly rewritten product, and this should be readily apparent from the screenshots (and definitely while using it). As such, it has a few features which I am selling as a pro version, marked in red in the first post. See my site via my sig for more details.

[snowlion]

To be honest. This is a great mod but I don't understand any action in it :D.
In example: I want to give my user 60K credits on the occasion of my forum's anniversary. I have 5000+ members, so what i have to do now?
How do I use the Mass Credit Updater to add 60000 credits to 5000+ member at one?

[Darkwaltz4]

Detailed instructions on using the mass credit updater were posted here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/threads/1599-Recalculating-Credits

[Chase]

If I'm upgrading from vbcredits 1.4 do I need to uninstall this one first (along with template changes?)

[Darkwaltz4]

You do not need to uninstall, although the template changes should be reverted (vbc2d injects stuff into your templates without edits). The amounts everyone has will be kept, but the settings will need to be redone as the format has changed drastically (for the better of course)

[koby411]

I have a problem with this..

When you click the link to view in individual post I get this error:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for VBCREDITS_VBULLETIN::thread(), called in [path]/showpost.php(122) : eval()'d code on line 1 and defined in [path]/dbtech/credits/credits_vbulletin.php on line 432

[Darkwaltz4]

edit the vBCredits II - View Thread plugin on the showpost_start hook (theres a second one with the same title, different hook), and replace the php code with:

VBCREDITS_VBULLETIN::read();

[koby411]

That worked thanks!

[squall leonhart]

I have a trouble. I set up a new event for Infraction and charge 10 credits for who get Infraction but when I test, the user who get infraction isn't charged.

It works now but take a long time to auto update

That's because transactions are not done in REAL TIME. You can enable if you want to.. but it will probably cause higher server loads.

[rob01]

whats the diference with the other :S

the pro addons work with this vbcredits??

[Darkwaltz4]

whats the diference with the other :S

A more streamlined experience with three years worth of requests built in, such as increased security controls, full logs, ability to charge for actions built in, multiple currencies, many more actions, modular design with third party api access, etc.

The pro addons should continue to work with this as long as you keep the original Credits currency. They are in the process of being assimilated into upcoming pro versions of II.

[Black Tiger]

I would like to install this, but I have my doubts about several things. So I only tagged it for the moment.

no new code whatsoever (file compare the two if you don't believe me).
I don't believe you because the 2.1.0 version is different, also in size and give's an error notice when installing.:)
Why would Pixelfx want to discredit you? I don't see him pointing to you anywhere.

I had a problem with the bank (users suddenly lost all their money in the bank), which you told me would be automatically fixed with the new version when you still was on vbcredits. Did you mean this version? I doubt it because there isn't a bank in this one anymore.

And if I understand correctly, my users will lose everything they have on the bank, so they have to remove all from the bank into their account first?

Is the bank coming back?
Is your new mod compatible with IbPro Arcade 3.+ as the old version was?

[Black Tiger]

Oke maybe code is the same, but there are some text differences and upgrade gives an sql error and nothing of the forum then works so something is wrong with that Pixel 2.x version.

Anyway, this still leaves my other 4 questions, 2 about the bank and 1 about the Arcade and 1 about the fix for the fact that all users suddenly lost all their bank amount of credits. Or can I forget about that last one, now there are new teams?

[M4GN3T]

Big bug, when a user edits a post and saves it, he gets the same ammount of points again. You have a fix for this?

[M4GN3T]

Can you please fix that bug?

[squall leonhart]

I set up the event transfer but it's not working. When I tried to transfer to another member, I received message "Transferring of this currency has not been configured"

1) Because I am no longer working with him, he has lost the benefit of having me do the work, so he is having sour grapes about it.

2) Not lost at all! This version is multi-currency, so all of the accounts users had will be kept, and you can transfer between them like before. There are no loans however, and interest is part of the pro version. This version shares no code from the 1.x branch, so I can't exactly say the old bug was fixed, rather the old functionality no longer applies.

3) It should still be compatible with the old arcade addon so long as you keep the Credits currency; a newer update compatible with the multi-currency aspects is on the way.

Big bug, when a user edits a post and saves it, he gets the same ammount of points again. You have a fix for this?

That is not a bug; you did not assign a negation value for your post event. When the post is edited, it issues a negation to take back what it originally gave so that the new updates will be recalculated and applied.

I am changing in an update to skip this process on editing if you didn't put a negation value (or something to catch your attention if it thinks you missed setting it), as this seems to be a common misconception.

I set up the event transfer but it's not working. When I tried to transfer to another member, I received message "Transferring of this currency has not been configured"

You need to set up Donate events for each of your currencies (sorry, wording may be ambiguous, but the next update should make that more clear).

[Black Tiger]

@Darkwaltz: Thanks for explaining. But I decided I will wait for a version with a bank. I don't allow users to give credits to each other. They can put it on the bank and get interest from it. The thing is just for fun.

[Darkwaltz4]

:p you can do that already is what I said.

1) Regular checking account
2) Savings account

Upgrading from vbcredits 1.x will preserve everyone's amounts. You can set an interest event on your savings currency so that it acts like a savings account.

Then, create transfer events for users to move their own currencies between checking and savings at will, and a donate event only for checking for each other.

Voila, bank. On the next lite version (which will be this friday, or get pro version available now) most of this will be set up automatically for you, but you can still do this manually (only a couple simple steps I can help you with if you really get lost) to it right now.

[Black Tiger]

Upgrading from vbcredits 1.x will preserve everyone's amounts.
Except the amounts present in the bank at the moment, correct?

And interest is only present in the pro version you wrote, which I don't want, because I don't need all the extra functionality.:)
I would really like a bank like the old bank, because that's fun. Accounts which can do the same but without a real bank link, is not that much fun.

[Darkwaltz4]

The savings accounts will be preserved as well!

Also, I think I will allow interest in the lite version, as there are plenty of large features in pro added in 2.0.0, and that is minor enough.

I think the method of transferring currency between your accounts is much more intuitive and easy in the new version (see the vbc2_currency_popup screenshot)

[Black Tiger]

Would be nice if the interest would be in the lite version, but I need a bank for my users.:)

I don't know where the screenshots are, but that's no problem because I don't want to allow transfer of currency between users.

[Darkwaltz4]

There is effectively a bank.

The screenshots are attached in the first post.

You can simply only enable a user to transfer between his own accounts, not other users.

I would be happy to assist you with setting this stuff up :D Since you are proving tough to convince (I think it is just a lot of miscommunication though)

[Black Tiger]

Me being tough to convince has more to do with my users suddenly losing all their bank savings in the past and the long wait for the fix you promised and which never came.:)
But I accept the fact that some things can change when people who worked with eachother before go seperate ways suddenly. Such things can happen.

The other fact is that some post ago was stated there was no bank in this version like in the old version, and that's a requirement on my behalve. Which I don't see in the screenshots either. Which screenshot would that be?

So this time I just want to be extremely careful, in spite of the fact that we use it just for fun. I don't want my users over me a third time (first time was because of iBank which ... well.. never mind, that was another coder).:D
But thank you for the offer to help me settings things up.

[Darkwaltz4]

There isn't a bank in the static sense as before; however, all of the bank features (except loans) are implemented in a more dynamic way (to enable multiple currencies to use them vs a single static one) - plus your existing bank accounts will carry over from the 1.x version.

See vbc2_currency_panel screenshot for what the member transaction log looks like. Clicking any of the numbers pops open the transfer box I mentioned in my previous post, except that feature is available anywhere currency is shown (postbits, profiles, etc)

Do you have a testing board perhaps? I guess, in the long run, if you and your users are happy with the current version and your issue isn't happening, just keep using it.

I will say that in the ~year that this version has been available to many users, not a single complaint of unexplained currency loss/gain, especially because it keeps detailed logs of every movement of credits.

[Black Tiger]

I can test this new version on another forum indeed, I got 2.
You had a look at the logs that time, but nowhere a strange transaction to be found and only the credits in bank were suddenly gone, not the normal credits. Maybe I'm the only one, maybe another mod caused it, hard to say.

But we like the static bank very much, so for the time being we will stay at the current version we have.
Thank you though for all the quick answers and explanation.

@All other users:
Please don't take my little consultation or discussion with Darkwaltz4 as something negative. I had a long experience with his mod and it's really great.
Also his support is very good as you can see, he even helped me once via MSN some time ago.
So don't let my wanting a bank system stop you from installing his great mod!

[Hornstar]

"Over 50 bug fixes, improvements, and optimizations!"

Can you tell me why a member, who spams my site, who then gets their posts either moved to the trash or deleted, does not lose their credits they just spammed to get?

With vbplaza (vbux points) they lose the points correctly. However no matter what I do with vbCredits I can not get this to work.

Trash is set up to not give any points.
Thread amount and negation amount are both set to 5. Same with posts.

[Darkwaltz4]

well, its supposed to work that way, and your settings sound right. This is on the latest version? Did it happen on the previous ones?

ill try it locally and let you know what i find tomorrow

[Hornstar]

It has happened on all versions, and it is still happening on the latest version.

[Darkwaltz4]

Thanks, I tested this and that is confirmed, including for the pro version. I'll get it fixed asap.

[Hornstar]

Thanks, I tested this and that is confirmed, including for the pro version. I'll get it fixed asap.

Great to know it was not only me afterall. Any chance you can PM me when the fix is done, as I need to apply it asap, so I can get my xmas event started (before xmas is over lol)

Thanks.

[Darkwaltz4]

it should work if you use the inlinemoderation to first soft delete and then hard delete those in the meantime (still investigating, sorry)

[Hornstar]

Thanks for the update. I think I am just going to have to wait for an update and call it a New Year Event now. I'll opt to wait for the full fix as we don't soft delete or hard delete threads.

[ctimes]

I seem to have an issue that when i enable vbc users start to report alt-s functionality in Chrome stops working.

Anyone else experiencing this?

[Digital Jedi]

Any reason why $valopts wouldn't be parsing on credits_popup? I was running it through the Validator to try and track down some problems I was having, and the $valopts variable shows up as empty in the final HTML.

credits_popup
<b id="credits_value_text"></b><select id="credits_value" style="display: none;">$valopts</select><input type="text" class="primary textbox" style="width: 80%;" maxlength="250" name="value" id="credits_value_input" />

Is there something I need to set up in credits that maybe I haven't gotten around to, yet?

[Chris Etc]

Can the size multipliers be turned off? I'd like each post to receive one point regardless of the number of words.

[Chris Etc]

As well, is there a way to reset the points to zero for everyone?

How can my users transfer credits to their savings??!

this should not be happening in the latest version, but edit the credits_popup template, then find and remove accesskey="s"

if you have the latest version, sounds like you have an edited credits_popup template that you should revert.

<b id="credits_value_text"></b><select id="credits_value" style="display: none;">$valopts</select><input type="text" class="primary textbox" style="width: 80%;" maxlength="250" name="value" id="credits_value_input" />
HTML
<b id="credits_value_text"></b><select id="credits_value" style="display: none;"></select><input type="text" class="primary textbox" style="width: 80%;" maxlength="250" name="value" id="credits_value_input" />Is there something I need to set up in credits that maybe I haven't gotten around to, yet?

That is normal if you didnt create transfer intervals (also normal). When it is blank, it is hidden.

Can the size multipliers be turned off? I'd like each post to receive one point regardless of the number of words.

Sure, edit your event and set to 0 the amount received for words/chars

As well, is there a way to reset the points to zero for everyone?

Yes, follow this: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/threads/1599-Recalculating-Credits

How can my users transfer credits to their savings??!

I've been trying to install this system for a while without much luck, I uninstalled then deleted all of the files and noticed there was another plugin called vBCredit II (DBTech Version) but when I tried to uninstall it I got an error to upload the acionset that came with the product.

I reuploaded everything including the xml to the normal plugin here and tried to uninstall/install with no luck, I just get blank pages unless I disable the plugin system.

Any suggestions on how to just wipe all DBTech plugins and start fresh again?

[Darkwaltz4]

Older versions were actually two products - a vBulletin actionset for vbCredits II and vBCredits II itself. Try to uninstall the actionset product first before the main addon. In particular, it needs the core and installer files to properly scrub your database of any traces of itself.

Do you have vBcredits working with the Advanced Thanks / Like mod yet?

If not, any timeframe before that is a working add-on?

Hi guys!
I really like your software. It's way better and simpler than what I've seen. I am seriously considering buying it, but I have encountered one bug that is spoils everything: sometimes the POST NEGATION does NOT work. Meaning that when somebody deletes his thread, the credits are NOT subtracted from his account.
Through over 2 hours of trial-and-error testing I was able to figure out that this happens when specific forums are selected for the POST event.

You can test this error on my forum in this thread: http://www.speculant.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1086

Please fix this error or explain what I am doing wrong.

Really hope to hear from you soon, so I don't have to look for other software.

Do you have an event that selects all forums? (a "general" one) If so, it will override the specific one currently, so ensure that also has a negation value.

Hi Darkwaltz4,
Thanks for the quick reply.
No, I do not have any other events at all.
What can be the problem??

Question: I am trying to use vbCredits II deluxe for "get paid per thread". Members are allowed to request for payout anytime they like. How do I create the payout transaction as "Admin" to send them real-life payment which will deduct the amount from their "vbCredits currency total" as well.

Members have posted and made the money and its shown in their postbit but how does the Admin can make the payout transaction onto their accounts.

Looking for a solution, anybody can help ??

[Jakub03]

How do i set it up so that when a user signs up he gets 5 credits. And when he refers someone if that referral makes 50 posts the user gets 50 credits?

vBCredits II Deluxe v2.1.0 released!

After a long hiatus, I am proud to announce the immediate availability of vBCredits v2.1.0!

Many of the fixes in this version have been posted as patches or hotfixed to the pro version, but now finally merged together in a cohesive package and made available for lite as well. In fact, I am backdating this release to 6 months after the previous one, so that limited license holders from awhile back will be able to take advantage of these great improvements.

Improved Performance:
-Smarter transaction queueing and processing
-Additional caching and query simplification
-Separate pending transaction table
-InnoDB applied conditionally

Currency Popup:
-New ability to include links to specific actions (eg [Transfer])
-Revised wording, Amount field focus, and currency matching
-Fixed usernames with utf-8 characters
-Fixed missing security token error
-Flooding prevention fixes
-Disables on mobile theme

Improvements:
-Optional cron alternative for daily actions
-Memberlist template edit no longer required
-Implemented upload/download actions on vB3
-Implemented referral/welcome actions during promotions
-Revised post/thread awarding/editing/deleting scenarios
-Better compatibility with other currency addons
-Better action multiplier handling
-Narrow admincp transactions by action
-vB3 supports navbar link to Transactions
-Other style, wording tweaks and optimizations

Fixes:
-Alternating column colors on memberlist
-Errors during URL attachments
-Auto repairs broken vBCredits cache
-Rare database errors
-Restored missing display saving functionality
-Recalculation tool issues
-Saving transactions during AJAX calls
-Full vB3.6-8/4.0-2 support

Organizational:
-Consistent DBTech features, eg global branding free key
-Moved related files into credits folders
-Using google hosted jQuery library

I fixed so much, I hope I remembered to list everything! There's a good chance that issue that's been bugging you about vBCredits has just been taken care of :) Otherwise I look forward to taking a fresh look at it in light of this update.

**IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES**

You should disable vBCredits, upload the new files, import the product file, then re-enable it. This will cut down on me having to help you through disabling addons when sync issues prevent you from logging into your admincp. And also from alarming you about being unable to log into your admincp :p

If you have a large or busy site, you might consider turning off your forums during the upgrade to cut down on server strain. As part of the performance improvements, pending transactions are moved from the main transaction table to a pending table, which may take several minutes depending on the amount of transactions you have.

You should also revert any template edits you made to vBCredits templates, including from previous patches, as well as from your memberlist_bit template. If you bought branding free, your old plugin will still work, but you can switch to the branding free key if you want.

The next update should be here much sooner :p there's more to come, Enjoy!

Question..
I currently have vBCredits installed (PixelFX version).
I want to have another credit system on my site where ppl can pay to obtain these credits only (not by posting, just pay for them). This product seems perfect for what I want to do. However, will this clash with the current vBCredits I have installed? Like, will it rewrite tables from the vBCredits I have installed by PixelFX? If so, what do I have to do to be able to install this product to not clash with the other vBCredits I have. Thank you.

[Kolektor]

I want to charge a user who wants to view my album pictures. How to do that...

[CoffeeLovesYou]

Is there a way that I can make it so it creates tables/columns with a prefix or something that way I can use THIS Credits system and the one by PixelFX as well? Because, my goal is to be able to have Credits earned by posting, etc (with vBCredits by PixelFX), then have Credits earned by either paying money for them or converting the Credits earned by posting into the paid Credits (this credit system, vBCredits II Deluxe). I think that if I install this one, it will clash with the current vBCredits I have installed by PixelFX, which is why I ask if it is possible to change the names of tables/columns. Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

Why would you want to run both of them side-by-side?

[SBlueman]

Has anyone gotten this to work with vbookie and 3.8? And if so, please share.

[SBlueman]

It does not recalculate any totals, they are preserved as what they were, and will be the starting point users have once you set up your new events in vBCredits II Deluxe.

vBookie Actionset now available free here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/threads/1235-vBookie-Actionset?p=7001

Anywhere any 3.8 users can find this?
